@@emilysgame star citizen has a steep learning curve, even with the “tutorial”. It’s not a game known for holding your hand but once you have the basics down and gain confidence, it’s one of the best games you’ll play 🙂 been a couple years now and I’m still on almost daily
@@emilysgame In addition to everything that has been mentioned, next patch also brings a full on rework of the flight model, which will make it much more accessible to beginners for combat situations !
Welcome to the game Emily , I skipped through the video. Here are a couple tips. 1) When you get to a station, find the clinic on the same floor where the fleet manager terminals are. Go past the registration desk and find a sign with 2 terminals below it that says 'Olympus Principal'. Click there and 'Transfer your Imprint' to that location. Now when you die you'll spawn at the clinic instead of having to respawn at the city , ride the train each time. 2) you can adjust your walking speed rolling up the mouse wheel. 3) When approaching an object, like the station, don't point your nose directly at it , there's a little marker that looks like >< that tells you where the ship is actually going. If that is on the station that means u'll hit it if u don't slow down. So keep that off the physical station so that if u don't slow down in time u won't hit it :) 4) never use the speed limiter (square box, mouse wheel) to slow down the ship. If the limiter drops below actual speed it locks up your thrusters so u can't steer. Always use S and shift to slow down , then roll down the limiter after. I would strongly suggest u play with a veteran guide player using the guide system. Its the button on the bottom right of the main menu. A good guide knows all the latest tips, tricks, bugs and best practices for the latest patch. It'll makes things a LOT less frustrating and u'll learn the coping strategies quickly. Good luck!
Thank you! I love these tips! I legit didn't think getting into it would have so much to learn! This is certainly not like other games...but I enjoyed it quite well! I thought about just streaming this moving forward, but that jump time is a killer....on my other videos, useless times like that I can fast forward or delete if necessary so those watching aren't bored to tears....I may start recording some of this too. I love these tips, thanks for helping me out!!!
@@emilysgame Heh I'm a guide, so those are the tips I give new players. That >< indicator is so important I would go into menu->game options->Pilot Velocity Indicator and turn it from Fading to Always on. That way u'll always know your ship's direction of travel. Re the time in jumps. Get a faster quantum drive. Go to the station at Hur L5, store your ship, take the intra-station transit elevators (green) to the galleria deck and find a store called Platinum Bay. At the terminal there buy an Atlas quantum drive, 17,900auec. Then go into your Vehicle Manager on your Mobiglass and install it. The Atlas is the one of fastest drives for your ship that can still cross the system w/o refeuling. Keep in mind that while in quantum you can get out of your seat and do other things, its not a loading screen. On bigger ships I usually carry supplies so I can reload weapons and ammo, pack my backpack , eat/drink , even reposition vehicles in the cargo bay until I reach the destination. Oh another pain point for even veteran players is using the Star Map. The most important step is to double click a planet before zooming in on it. If you don't double click you won't be able to select destinations on the planet or in orbit. If you try and set a new destination on the map and it just won't do it . Try jumping away from the planet first if u're close to one. If you're trying to find a destination in the cockpit view but none of the location icons are coming up when u press B , go into the map and hit the 'Clear' button. When u have waypoints set it hides all the other destinations in the cockpit view. As I said, these are all things that u'd learn from a good Guide. hence my suggestion.
@@emilysgame - Get a faster Quantum Drive. Got To HUR L5 station , store the ship, find the intra-station transit elevators (green) and head to the galleria deck. Find a store called Platinum Bay and buy an Atlas drive. Bring up your vehicle manager in the mobiglass and install it. It's one of the fastest QD's that can cross the system w/o refueling. You'll need 18000auec though. Its stuff like these why I recommend playing with a guide. The solutions to the myriad of problems u'll run into aren't always intuitive to new players. Takes time to acquire your 'Citizen Sense' :)
Nope, Trains not a loading screen. Someone in their ship could follow the train if it's on an outside rail and see you and you can see them. They could even drop a guy off ontop of the tram if they're good enough pilots. 😁 I love this game, you can literally do whatever you want... and it will have full VR Support eventually, which was one of the reasons I backed three times and bought a few ships. I just wanted to kick in some funding, lol. Just dont purchase ship's if you have bills to pay first, make sure all the important shit is taken care of first.
I have been playing Star Citizen for over 3 years and I have seen the changes and the progression. Keep in mind that we are playing a game that is being built around us. I guess it would be like sitting in the unfinished living room in your house watching RUclips as your house is being built around you. Even though this game is rough around the edges and it makes you make up new curse words not yet known to the human languages when it does what games in alpha do, this game is still hands down the best game that will be produced. The detail in the ships alone is absolutely amazing. For me to keep playing a game for this long it has to be good. When 3.23 drops in the next few weeks it will change not only this game, but also the way other developers look at their games. I played starfield for about 3 hours and that was all I could stomach. I forced my self to play starfield for the last 2 hours. There is no comparison to each other. Like Chris Roberts said 12 years ago, he was out to make the best damn space game ever and he is doing that.
I agree- there really a way to compare the two. Starfield is good in it's own way...but I donsee how hard it is to enjoy it IF you have gotten into SC! I will find it hard to wanna go back but I will keepbdoing it. I'm hoping shattered space adds a great deal more unique things.
Pretty much, sure it loads/unloads things in the background like every other game out there, but if you can do things and interact with friends in your ship/train/etc, I would say it's *not* a loading screen.
@@Quent1nB i think it sstream persistently nothing is ever unloaded from the server u just enter the area where its visible i think they explain it in a bunch of videos but that stuff a lil complex
@@sketchtherapy1218 People usually speak about client side loading screens, server side isn't very important, people don't see that. Yes the client game does unload some things from memory / use higher LODs when necessary, but that's pretty much the industry standard. No loading screen as far as I'm concerned :)
@@Quent1nB well this isn’t a one player game there 10 people at that station when you show up, it didn’t load in it was always there. Loading screen implies a graphic is generated while an area is loaded but here it’s more like Quantum Travel is fast travel like hitting nitrous on a race track the whole track is rendered its just that your graphics card needs to catch up with where you are in the game.
The upcoming patch 3.23 is going to change a lot of things from a revamped character designer (new hairs, facial morphing, beards, hair dyes, etc), to a new star map and mini map, the addition of personal hangars, back pack reloading, dynamic crosshairs, distribution centres, animals, separation of the replication layer, new water and water physics, updated cloud rendering, and so much more.
Oooh this sounds awesome! The system map drove me a lil crazy, and despite the issues I had I loved it... I'm excited for more...and looking forward to this update!
3.23 will change a lot, also a lot of new keybindings, new star map, new flight modes etc. I would think the new patch might be released in 4 to 6 weeks depending on the ongoing tests. Oh and for the first time there will be animals in the game.
@@Heshinsi I am well aware it is in EVO testing, as of right now they are just trying to get things stable enough that you can log in and stay logged in. As of yesterday that can be problematic. This a huge patch with a lot of moving parts, what CIG hopes for and what actually happens can be along away a part.
Amazing to see a new citizen in the verse! If I could give one advice: try to play with other people/friends, this game is SO - MUCH - FUN in a group, you might even find yourself doing light RP ! Aside from that, there are a million of game mechanics to learn, but if you play enough you will get there no doubt :)
The game costs less than $65. Most of the ships you can buy ingame with ingame earned money. Just remember, the game has been in development for 10 years and will be for another 10 most likely. I've been in since the beginning and need a fix of Star Citizen at least once a week. There's nothing like it.
Welcome to the 'verse Emily. I started with Starfield as well, but now I am totally into this alpha game. I enjoy every aspect of it (except for the bugs, but it IS an alpha) and look for ward to the coming update with even more content to explore.
Another fun community aspect of the game is that you're not stuck piloting your own ship. Other players can call their fleet up and lend you a ship to try out, or even pilot or ride with you. Imagine a Star Trek crew! They can range from small one-person starters (the claustrophobic feel) to giant capital ships that can hold dozens of players, tons of cargo, and armed to the teeth in multiple stations. There's even a giant space yacht complete with a swimming pool, spa rooms, mutiple guest quarters, and a restaurant/bar. In fact, if I ever see you in game, I'd be happy to lend you a ship or two of different types to test-fly or crew with me. Also, you don't always have to auto-land (ALT-N). If you're adventurous, just line up your ship and gently strafe downward (CTRL) til you touch down. For safety, always shut off your engines, but you can leave the Power on. But like in real life, always close the doors behind you so no one can steal your ship Sometimes the easiest way to equip items from a box is to simply double-click it or drag it onto your character's body (helmet --> drag it onto your head; arm armor --> drag onto your arms). Some armors won't equip (like a heavy helmet) if you're wearing a light rather than heavy core. Also, in cases of a missing helmet, sometimes the fastest fix is to just fly to an R&R station, go to the Galleria level, and buy a cheap light helmet. Also, max out on med pens (which can be equipped on your leg armor (double click each one to add to the leg slots). To heal without med pens, visit any medical bay/facility and check into a surgery room. They'll fix you up in the bed. Most planets won't let you quantum travel until you leave the atomsphere, which is normally at least 10,000m up. On the cloud planet Crusader it's 90,000m (but you're already up in the sky). On moons it's much lower, about 2,000m up I think. Some mission areas won't let you quantum travel directly there if they're not major POIs, so you have to QT as close as possible then fly on thruster power the rest of the way. It the case of obstructed waypoints, just use the OM markers to fly around til you have a straight route.
Thank you! That is a lot of great tips! I'll try and remember them all... and awesome, keep an eye out for me - would love to see some friendly folk out there 🥰
I am a recent player too. There's always a way to by pass the bugs, you only have to met them once, to know how to avoid them. But yeah, i love that game. and so much potential and improvements coming too.
I do wish I was around when you started streaming. I would've been able to help with the little things, like using mouse wheel to increase movement speed when walking and your ship's maximum speed
To walk faster, use your scroll wheel, jumping around will only get you injured, and in this game, it's the last thing you want. A point to remember, there are no cut screens in this game, every building, every rock, every object is modeled in, and everything runs in real time . The next patch coming has major upgrades to it, finally get some of the promised things
Thanks! I learned that about the cut scenes...I jokingly said the metro loop is like a load screen, knowing better though! That is really amazing that it's all one seamless world! They said even the elevators actually move you to another location that is already there!
Yeah they need to do a better job of flashing on the screen how to change your walk speed via the mouse wheel. People are ingrained from other games that there is only W (forward) and Shift (sprint) for speeds in games.
@@emilysgame I can confirm this. If you glitch in a way where the elevator doesn't move over, you can see the inside of the station. In all elevator areas, are markers where they should be to remind the devs. If you are in a party, you can watch them obey Willy Wonka physics.
I love this game and sometimes hate it. When it works it is simply amazing. This is as far as i will ever be able to fly a starship, to experience maneuvering in an asteroid field. Mind you there will come a point-for most-when you realize, to really engage you are gonna have to splash the cash. It is all well and fine to get going in the Aurora but its limitations will be obvious sooner than you think. And than the pledge store will welcome you with an open arm and some amazing prices:)
Right?! I found this out about the pledge store....I bought two ships last night, and recorded the video for today using the Titan 😉 I really like this game...despite the issues. Just knowing what it is striving to be, and that its on its way there is enough for me to thoroughly enjoy and dig into it!
For a 1st Timer you Did GREAT! Next time try asking someone in chat to loan you a big ship so you can try it out, people are more then happy to give you a loaner it cost them nothing and they get it back for free if you crash it or log off.
Thanks! And interesting... I may check that out. I love trying new games, and this one, although a but intense, has been fun! I so badly wanted to try and record some this evening but I had to get my other games recorded.... maybe tomorrow night though! It was so good I just can't wait for more!
Even i playing star citizen and i love it since i did buy a game package in spring 2014. I am a older lady ( 64 ) that gets 18 agean between the ears playing Star Citizen hihihihihihi.
Welcome to the real verse Emily, forget everything you know about space from Starfield - SC is a very different animal. Take your time this is far closer to a Sim then Starfield and the physics and flight model reflect that. It has a great community and there's plenty of help around don't be afraid to use it, we all do. Oh and the pirates in this game are real and nasty, fly safe.
Thanks! I honestly don't know anything about space from Starfield...theres simply nothing to know! Flying is very basic in Starfield space, and docking/landing is done automagically. I love the fact you can do this totally by hand! This is much better in my opinion...
The biggest takeaway from this is: put the text dead center so people can read it. As a veteran backer and player of the game for many years I can vaguely remember my own first few days in the game so this was very informative to see how a new player interacts with the game.
It's nice to see someone new play and see they enjoy it. Keeps me in check that I'm not jaded. You got out and about way faster than I did when I started, lol! Nice to see so many positive comments below too!
Thank you! I love this game - its been quite an adventure, soooo looking forward to getting into the 3.24.2 PU this evening in a livestream with friends....Hadn't had a chance since it dropped last night. Glad you are not jaded too! 🥰
Aaaahhhhh, I see you've found Star Citizen! If someone offers to be a guide, it can really reduce your learning curve. Just like Starfield, there's not a lot of info on basic play. I have close to 900 hours in Starfield, but waaaaayyyy more than that in Star Citizen! Where Starfield is a spacified rpg, Star Citizen is more of a gamified simulator. BTW, there are NO loading screens in this game (other than when you wake up).
Yes I did! I actually bought this way back when it was only a dream! It was a while before it was playable from that point, but then when it was, I never tried it! I was glad I found my account info in my old email from way back when so I could finally get going on this.
Welcome to the Verse Star Citizen Emily!! Hope You will enjoy it, regardless of bugs, the likes of pirates, pad rammers etc. Again, fortunately there are allot of great people out in the Verse that will help U out and even come to your rescue, or just have a gg experience!!! See U perhaps out there Citizen Emily!!! Have Fun! and good noob vid, enjoyed it! ;-)
Ugh, I have more pledged ships than is reasonable so I too clearly have more ships than sense. 🤦♀ I actually had to compile a list the other day. ...it didn't seem like so many when I pledged them.
I'm looking forward to that, and I'm so happy to be here finally! This game has been on my list for ( what has it been....??!! )10 years now. Thank you!! 🥰
Yes I'd LOVE that! I love that so many people are willing to help with this....Thank you! I wasn't sure if this was a game I'd want to keep playing or not, but I'm sure now that I'm gonna keep it going!
Then its time this party gets started! I'm hoping to play tonight but we have this awful storm heading in...Probly a good chance I won't get to hop in there tonight 😢
Barring any actual bugs, I believe the reason the multi-tool healing attachment wouldn't work might be because you need a med canister on the second attachment point for it to work, otherwise it has no drugs to heal with. Best option is to carry a pile of medpens in your gear somewhere, even if not equipped on the external slots. You can fit a lot in a backpack, or even your normal armor storage.
Thanks for posting this. I've been playing it for a few years, so it's interesting to have a new player's perspective. I thought you did great for your first time in the game. I think it would be great for CIG to see videos liek this as well, since It lets you see where some of the pain points are in the game for new players.
You're starting right around the hype time of 3.23 and the character creation features will be released along with a slow and steady roll of updates and much needed QoL changes to the game.
Welcome to the verse, where there is no loading screens. ;) 1:06:00 always keep your power on, turn your engines off so your ship doesn't fly away by accident. (the power is so your shields stay on and people have a harder time destroying it.) 1:08:12; that isn't a storage area, its a bed you can log out on if you have to. to place boxes, you have to hold in F and aim at the box until you can see the "place" command on the box & then press that, then you have an option to place anything anywhere on the ground even on shelves. Again welcome to the verse & enjoy your stay.
One more super handy little trick, grab a couple of the same empty bottles of Cruze and stack them in your inventory. When you are thirsty, put one in your hand and magic - it will be a 100% full, just keep restacking and as long as you have at least two empty bottles of the same drink, it will always be full when you need a drink and Cruze helps with hunger too as a bonus
Great to see your first experience in SC as you experienced it. I hope someone from CIG sees this and takes notes. Things like delivering your ship and THEN retrieving it are definitely not clear to a newcomer, and figuring out how to request clearance to take off is super unclear in the tutorial. The part of the UI they are trying to tell you to click on should definitely FLASH or get an arrow beside it during the tutorial. A couple of suggestions: 1. When you land your ship, turn off the engines with I instead of powering down. When you power down, the shields also power down and will need to charge up when you get back in the ship. It also leaves the ship more vulnerable if someone decides to shoot it while you're out of it. For some reason this also works when you store the ship in stations, so just leave it powered up and the shields will be full when you get in next time. 2. Someone already said this but it's worth repeating, the DEFAULT walk speed is really slow but you can adjust it with mouse wheel. My advice is to not adjust it too high, but to leave walk as kind of a brisk walk speed and use sprint for running. You will just miss a ton of beautiful design and artwork if you run past everything. 3. All AI is currently "broken" so interacting with NPCs is usually very frustrating. This is because each NPC's AI is considered a "low priority thread" on the server. When you play the game you attach to a "Shard" server. Right now, each shard on the "Live" environment has only one server running everything in it's universe by itself. Over the next few months starting with 3.23 we are seeing multiple servers sharing the load for each shard. You will hear about "Replication Server" and "GDC" servers, but there may also be "AI" servers or some mix of them as CIG figures out the right balance. The whole thing is called "server meshing" but the bottom line is at the end of this we should have AI NPCs and creatures that behave like we all expect. As overwhelming as it all seems, there's so much fun to be had, especially with other players, but if you want to solo, definitely try renting a Prospector and checking out mining, or buy a Vulture in-game at Lorville and check out Salvage. Both are a lot of fun. I would not advise trying either without watching a recent RUclips video first though. Welcome to the 'Verse! o7 (saluting)
Thank you so much for the tips! I felt like I missed obvious clues somewhere, but so many have said the game so far is not great for teaching how/what to do! I really appreciate all the tips I've gotten from everyone, and I'm so happy to be here!
@@emilysgamelook at the right side of your screen, they added useful tips and keybinds based on what are you doing there lately, which is very helpful. I agree that the UX is confusing for new players and their hints are too subtle. Also they changed a lot of keybinds and the keybinds menu is cluttered and sadly has no search
I've been playing the game on and off for 3 years. Its got a lot of nuance you want to plan for in its current state. First and foremost, SAVE YOUR KEY BINDS AND PUT THEM IN A DIFFERENT FOLDER. Every update it completely erases all key binds. And that's HUNDREDS of binds between the On Foot, In Vehicle, Flight, HUD, and the various control methods (mouse keyboard, and HOTAS)
OMG I love your user thumbnail! One of my favorite robots of all time 🥰 And also - Thank yoU! I tried 😋 I'm looking forward to spending much time in the verse!
Your welcome! I LOVED it! Sure I had some frustrations but I figured as much with such a complicated game...I'm uploading a video now of me attempting a box mission, that went just wrong! I nearly deleted it but figured, well...learning experience...what am I doing wrong here? I don't think I did anything wrong, I think it was just glitching on me. Either way I love it and will continue to play!
Congrats on playing the game. I was laughing when you were going to the space station. I was over here like > kill the speed lol. You did great. I started about a year or two ago and there was no tutorial so this is good. Not the best but it gets you the basics. Hope you continue to play. I love it out side of some issues here and there but like they said, when it works, game over. Oh and great job on you first flight not dying lol. I died lol a few times lol. You can do arena command to fly and practice so you don't have to keep going to the hospital. Once you get flying down you will probably really love it.
Welcome to the Verse! You did a lot better than most on your first outing... my brother crashed 3 times before ever leaving the hangar. 🤣 I'm glad you had a lot of fun. SC can be daunting but once you get into it, it can quickly become your go to game. I've not seen anyone mention it, but if you ask in global chat a lot of people will take you on as crew. A lot of people will happily let you join in on a salvage op on their Reclaimer or work a turret on their cargo ship and most will pay you too! Let them know you're new and want to be shown the ropes. next thing you know you're a beltalowda working a reclamation ship out of Seraphim for some creds just hoping to make it back to G-Lock at A-18 for some cold beers. I would take this time before 3.23 to learn the ropes and not worry to much about making creds. There hasn't been an announcement but speculation is that there will be a full wipe of the database which we haven't had in over a year. If that happens, that will be a good time to start to focus on making creds and crewing up. Have fun and safe flying! o7
Trams are not a loading screen; there are zero loading screens once in-game (well, caveat in a moment...); you can fly in a ship next to the train and wave to people on the train and they can wave back. It is all physicalized. The only "loading screen" in-game is when respawning after death, or currently for the transition in the Jump Point (when that test for Pyro is active) - but that will also be physicalized gameplay eventually, via server meshing, and you'll have to navigate the Jump Point tunnel manually. And then you have loading screen on log on, obviously. Finally, right now, "server recovery" on server meshing, when active, is also a bit of a "loading screen" - you are still in game and can do some stuff, but you aren't connected or able to really interact until the server fully recovers (a few minutes, as things last were for said test at least.)
Thank you! I learned it was not - I sorta thought it was an interactive loading screen until I realized you can see each other inside/outside of the tram! Thats seriously cool!!!
I'd be happy to play with you one day and give you a few pointers. It was both painful, comical, and cathartic to watch you struggle the same way I did when I first started! All the little tricks and tips to work around the bugs could fill a book.
😝Oh my I was all over the place! It was fun though - I loved it and can't wait to jump back in ( hoping to this evening - will record and edit this time instead of stream...I feel like those long waits are brutal between points when you QT somewhere! )
Mouse wheel up and down will change how fast you walk/run, pretty sure it sets throttle limit up or down in the ships too. Haven't been on in about 2 years. Not the games fault home stuff.
Thank you! I learned this at some point thanks to other viewers as well - super good to know and honestly, I LIKE that you can adjust walking speed! Nothing drives me up a wall like following someone somewhere and you are too fast or too slow to keep up!
Also there is no "burn up" in Star Citizen; every ship is shielded against heat. If you do hit the edge of atmosphere through normal flight rhere will be atmospheric flames but are not harmful. AlT-C is throttle lock; C is toggling Coupled mode (frankly I don't know why they used those keys-- just causes more new pilot deaths than anything). Entry and exit of hangars in stations is done by using the COMM panel and tapping the button next to the spaceport Name. Just be sure to adjust your speed (mousewheel) down so you don't crash in. SQ42 (Squadron 42) is the single player campaign that was the original Kickstarter. That's where the majority of the dev funds were spent, to complete the game. Now that's it's feature-complete and in polishing, they're able to move over large teams back to the MMO side to build and refine it. AT T01:32:00 when you were stuck, you accidentally hit the 'V' key to toggle scanning mode. AT T01:38:20 I think you were stuck on the edge of a building after nearly crashing andt that's why you couldn't move. Sometimes if you F4 you can look around to check what's going on. Oh, it seems your throttle was all the way to 0. Scroll-wheel adjusts your "max throttle" and when you accelerate thats the upper limit. If you go into the red bar, that's when you're exceeding the maneuvering thruster capacity (to smoothly control your ship). I would be happy to walk you through a bunch, but I would try to do so like a tour guide, so it feels less like a class and more like an immersive journey. Until then, have fun, please be patient regarding bugs and UI ambiguity. It will improve soon!
I got hooked on star citizen Christmas this year and it hooked me hard even with all the glitches its still better than anything else playable now and with all that is coming it is going to be insane
Anymore, what isn't buggy 😝 ! But that's ok with me - I've grown use to it in the 20+ years I've worked in IT.... I still love Starfield though, doubtful that will change for me. But that's fine too! This is a better space sim, that is a better RPG, and much like Skyrim, I hope/intend to play it for several years...hopefully like Star Citizen now too!
The last time I played was back several months ago. I heard about the new patch 3.23 coming out soon and it is going to be so much better. So I will check it out once it released. Also, it is so awesome watching a noob playing Star Citizen for the first time hehe. Just like me, had no clue when I first start. When I did my first delivery mission, I crashed my ship, over and over lol. Anyway, keep learning and you will get better.
@@emilysgame There is a lot to learn. I have played the game for the last 3 years. Once you get over that learning curve you really get to see the potential of the game. Stick with it and I think you will have a great experience. The community is helpful for the most part. You can just ask a question in globule chat and people will help.
@@emilysgame hehe you might have already noticed this but when a new youtuber tries Star Citizen and the community finds out. You will have LOTs of people ready to help you enjoy the game they love.
Next patch, which is coming in late april or may, will have a lot of quality of life updates. There's a complete rework of the UI and star map. Everyone in the community is recommending new players to hold off from trying the game until then. Apparently a free fly event(where the game becomes free to play for a week) might come with the patch too.
Thanks! I found this out last night - I might have waited had I realized it but that's OK - I'll get the basic idea out of the way now and then hopefully less struggles when the new patch is release!
Personally, I bind the Call ATC function to F3 button, as that is vacant. Super easy then to ask permissions for takeoff, landings. Although you can always click the button in the cockpit, or do it via MobiGlass chat function. Spaceport/-station is always at the top of the friend list in chat
For new player, the speed adjustment should be in tutorial as the first point. Maybe they change it later. You can just change your movement speed with the mouse wheel. Works on foot and for vehicles. I like the concept. Gives you more control over your running speed and now I missing it in other games. ;)
Don't know how I missed your comment! Sorry for my late reply... but yes I love that concept! It makes so much sense! It wasn't noticeable in the tutorial, my wife also got the game and went through the tutorial and didn't see it either...so if it's still in there, they've made it very difficult to notice!
The really should have created an inventory tutorial. Had I not been with someone to start it would have been much harder. She is definitely struggling with this. A guide teaching you how you don't carry everything with you all the time and is "stored" on each planet would greatly help the new players. Hopefully the next release will have something like that. I didn't watch this live but I was still wanting to jump in chat so bad to try to help.
@@emilysgame that is awesome. The inventory control IS IN the Mobiglass Journal. It is the one named Tutorial Shopping and Inventory. You actually HAVE to READ IT. I had help learning it by being on a discord and ingame together. I was streaming my game to his server and he showed me where to point and click to understand it. That was over a year ago. When relaunching the game and starting over with the tutorial then reading it THEN it made sense.
I have the best times in Starcitizen, if you are creative there is unlimited things to do, explore is one of my favorites... can't wait until next patch is gonna be HUGE.
Twitch at Area 18, the Assassin dude at Grim and the Hurston manager will give you missions. I heard a bartender will give you some as well but that was back in 3.17 or earlier and I don’t know if he still does
i play this game quite often i thin k i even have a few videos up there is nothing like this game out there and i stand by it.the game will be one of the biggest games ever when fully out.
SC is a sandbox so theres no over-arching storyline like in starfield. You can't activate cruise control if you are accelerating. Global chat is usually really helpful when new players have questions. But, expect bugs, its an alpha, and there are a lot of changes coming very soon. Welcome to the game and have fun!
Thank you, and you are not kidding! I've not had this much response on a single video before...and I've never had so much help offered from so many before! I love this community and looking forward to being a part of it! Thank you 🥰
Welcome to the Verse! Understandable there's a very steep learning curve with little hand holding. The tutorial is bound to change constantly as the UI will be revamped. It's because the development is still very fluid and mechanics are being changed constantly as they try to get to an actual 1.0. Next month almost EVERY aspect of the game will be overhauled in a major way with patch Alpha 3.23 so please stay tuned and have patience. A large portion of the developers from the single player campaign have been moved over to the MMO side to integrate all the interactive elements and technology. Btw you can adjust your walk speed in first-person by using the scroll wheel. Running is hold-down Shift but it uses stamina. Also don't be shy about using chat. Players are generally helpful. Also PVP isn't something you have to engage in. It's completely possible to do 100% exploration and PVE stuff solo, with friends, or with random people you meet (and trust). Server meshing should be coming later this year which will fill the Verse with at least 400+ players per local shard area
One of the sticking points for me was the lack of hand holding and having to look around Pay Attention and realize the signs are there for sign reasons and maps are good just like going to a new mall got to look at the map.
@@Wbroach24 and maps are changing in a big way later this month. A completely ground-up redo of the star map UI and the inclusion of an interactive FPS holographic map is coming, with searchable and taggable waypoints.
btw, to every new player: you can always ask player in game for help. Yes, there are some bad people around, like it is in every MMO game. But most people are very helpful. Myself I play medic role in game and in my Org (Org is something like a player guild in this game). We rescue people, healing them, and even can give some starter things, if you lost everything. Just ask in Chat. But please not just "Can someone give me money?". Do multicrew on board a Reclaimer and you earn millions credits in a short time. Just ask for work on Reclaimer. ;)
Thanks! I was fortunate for backing the game many years ago! I got somehow a credit deposit of 3 mill....gave me a great start. I purchased a reclaimer this weekend...although I was on 2 priior to purchase and both exploded as we were done packing it...faulty boxes? And then we took mine out and it did the same JUST as we started salvaging a C2 😭 No worries though. I got a vulture as well, so I'm gonna try a solo run with that and record it for other 'new' folks to see what they are in for!
you should run through the key binds to see what going on the main keys when walking, of course W, A, S, D for walking Q and E for leaning (with a weapon) G to equip a grenade (if equipped) mouse scroll wheel to increase/decrease walking speed. 1, 2, 4, to equip weapons/tools 0 to use unarmed combat, scroll wheel click to perform one move take down. I tell ALL "noobs" do the delivery missions at least 10 of them, loot all the buildings (put everything in local innovatory then when you get on your ship put them in the ships innovatory) this will get you used to landing taking off and traversing the systems. from there do what ever you want try everything even if you don't think its your cup of tea. save up for a Drake Vulture to print money. then you do what you want to.
Thank you! I have figured out a good bit of the key bindings, but I did not actually realize the ship had its own inventory too! Not sure why I wouldn't have...makes total sense! Print money?! Hmmm 🤔
@@emilysgamealso X while in the ship is space break, but it wont work unti you use boost L SHIFT key, you can bind it with an option in settings (I think General) and put all the Pilot views to 0 to not have that annoying (too me) camera movement.
Thanks! I see that now. I must have missed the info on that as I progressed? Seems like a lot of things in here are either hard to catch or not there for you to know?
@emilysgame yeah there wasn't a tutorial when I started playing in like 2019 or so or that's when I started looking into it. It was definitely a fun learning experience I actually started mouse and keyboard didn't like it and didn't play again until I had a throttle and stick, which eventually evolved into dual sticks and pedals lol I like flying a lot haha.
I'm hearing/seeing that now! But thats OK, I'm 'hooked' and will get the basics at least figured out now. I'm gonna dig into this for some time to come!
@emilygames 2:34:30 the destroyed Freelancer had a green box in the cargo that very well could have been Gasping Weevil Eggs worth about $225,000 at a salvage yard.
39:11 What new players SHOULD do is go into global chat and ask an experienced Player to jump on with them and run the first few hours with them. Guaranteed you will find a player more than willing to assist.
Thank you for this! I actually really like that option!! So many games - the walking is either too fast or too slow when following an NPC or something..
@@emilysgame also we are about to have 3.23 drop later this month, it is going to upgrade alot of the us including new looting systems, mini maps, new solar map, interactive system for objects, two creatures are also coming in. If you look though Star citizen live, Inside Star citizen or even Citizen con footage, they are showing the new system and its damn beautiful.
Walking is as slow or fast as you want, it is not like Bethesda where it's walk or run. The mouse wheel controls the variable movement speed of both on foot and in spaceships.
I hope you fund this out but you have different armour classes. Light, medium, and heavy are the classes you can't equipt a heavy armour helmet when you have light armour equiped.
if you would like i can show you the game if you want to know more about it, its a very niche game that takes many hours to do anything useful but its my favorite.i would be happy to join you on a stream and show you some of the game loops, ie: salvaging, bounties, bunkers, mining, and many other things,
You could post a beacon for medical assistance then tell the player to bring you a helmet or fly to a shop where you can buy a new one. Also that green crate has Weevil Eggs worth a lot of credits.
next patch should include minimap + i belive there should be navigation (not sure if thats in patch too). That should help begginers big time not getting lost, heck i even get lost sometimes in places i dont know well and i have 1k+ hours
As a "veteran" of SC, it was funny & irritating to watch but a good remembering of why I rage quitted the game in 3.12 and came back for good since 3.13. Even with a tutorial SC doesn't take you by the hand and uses mechanics that are rare or not important in other game. Well done citizen!
When this game works. There is no equivalent. It still blows my mind even in it's current state.
I can see that! This is truly incredible...I can't wait to get somewhat good at this, so that I can maybe get better 😝
@@emilysgame star citizen has a steep learning curve, even with the “tutorial”. It’s not a game known for holding your hand but once you have the basics down and gain confidence, it’s one of the best games you’ll play 🙂 been a couple years now and I’m still on almost daily
Just wait till the next patch drops. Will be quite the change!
@@x102reddragon extremely excited. Tempered expectations tough. Day one patch drops always break game. Can't wait for the week after it's release lol
@@emilysgame In addition to everything that has been mentioned, next patch also brings a full on rework of the flight model, which will make it much more accessible to beginners for combat situations !
Welcome to the game Emily , I skipped through the video. Here are a couple tips.
1) When you get to a station, find the clinic on the same floor where the fleet manager terminals are. Go past the registration desk and find a sign with 2 terminals below it that says 'Olympus Principal'. Click there and 'Transfer your Imprint' to that location. Now when you die you'll spawn at the clinic instead of having to respawn at the city , ride the train each time.
2) you can adjust your walking speed rolling up the mouse wheel.
3) When approaching an object, like the station, don't point your nose directly at it , there's a little marker that looks like >< that tells you where the ship is actually going. If that is on the station that means u'll hit it if u don't slow down. So keep that off the physical station so that if u don't slow down in time u won't hit it :)
4) never use the speed limiter (square box, mouse wheel) to slow down the ship. If the limiter drops below actual speed it locks up your thrusters so u can't steer. Always use S and shift to slow down , then roll down the limiter after.
I would strongly suggest u play with a veteran guide player using the guide system. Its the button on the bottom right of the main menu. A good guide knows all the latest tips, tricks, bugs and best practices for the latest patch. It'll makes things a LOT less frustrating and u'll learn the coping strategies quickly. Good luck!
Thank you! I love these tips! I legit didn't think getting into it would have so much to learn! This is certainly not like other games...but I enjoyed it quite well! I thought about just streaming this moving forward, but that jump time is a killer....on my other videos, useless times like that I can fast forward or delete if necessary so those watching aren't bored to tears....I may start recording some of this too.
I love these tips, thanks for helping me out!!!
@@emilysgame Heh I'm a guide, so those are the tips I give new players. That >< indicator is so important I would go into menu->game options->Pilot Velocity Indicator and turn it from Fading to Always on. That way u'll always know your ship's direction of travel.
Re the time in jumps. Get a faster quantum drive. Go to the station at Hur L5, store your ship, take the intra-station transit elevators (green) to the galleria deck and find a store called Platinum Bay. At the terminal there buy an Atlas quantum drive, 17,900auec. Then go into your Vehicle Manager on your Mobiglass and install it. The Atlas is the one of fastest drives for your ship that can still cross the system w/o refeuling.
Keep in mind that while in quantum you can get out of your seat and do other things, its not a loading screen. On bigger ships I usually carry supplies so I can reload weapons and ammo, pack my backpack , eat/drink , even reposition vehicles in the cargo bay until I reach the destination.
Oh another pain point for even veteran players is using the Star Map. The most important step is to double click a planet before zooming in on it. If you don't double click you won't be able to select destinations on the planet or in orbit.
If you try and set a new destination on the map and it just won't do it . Try jumping away from the planet first if u're close to one.
If you're trying to find a destination in the cockpit view but none of the location icons are coming up when u press B , go into the map and hit the 'Clear' button. When u have waypoints set it hides all the other destinations in the cockpit view.
As I said, these are all things that u'd learn from a good Guide. hence my suggestion.
@@emilysgame I'm a guide as well so those are the essential tips I always give new players. Along with these:
- Make the '>

You'll need 18000auec though.
Its stuff like these why I recommend playing with a guide. The solutions to the myriad of problems u'll run into aren't always intuitive to new players. Takes time to acquire your 'Citizen Sense' :)
Nope, Trains not a loading screen. Someone in their ship could follow the train if it's on an outside rail and see you and you can see them. They could even drop a guy off ontop of the tram if they're good enough pilots. 😁 I love this game, you can literally do whatever you want... and it will have full VR Support eventually, which was one of the reasons I backed three times and bought a few ships. I just wanted to kick in some funding, lol. Just dont purchase ship's if you have bills to pay first, make sure all the important shit is taken care of first.
Yeah, this. If sc does have maps, they cover a whole solar system with a single map, not just a building.
I have been playing Star Citizen for over 3 years and I have seen the changes and the progression. Keep in mind that we are playing a game that is being built around us. I guess it would be like sitting in the unfinished living room in your house watching RUclips as your house is being built around you. Even though this game is rough around the edges and it makes you make up new curse words not yet known to the human languages when it does what games in alpha do, this game is still hands down the best game that will be produced. The detail in the ships alone is absolutely amazing. For me to keep playing a game for this long it has to be good. When 3.23 drops in the next few weeks it will change not only this game, but also the way other developers look at their games. I played starfield for about 3 hours and that was all I could stomach. I forced my self to play starfield for the last 2 hours. There is no comparison to each other. Like Chris Roberts said 12 years ago, he was out to make the best damn space game ever and he is doing that.
I agree- there really a way to compare the two. Starfield is good in it's own way...but I donsee how hard it is to enjoy it IF you have gotten into SC! I will find it hard to wanna go back but I will keepbdoing it. I'm hoping shattered space adds a great deal more unique things.
Is this considered a loading screen? No, no, there are NO loading screens
Pretty much, sure it loads/unloads things in the background like every other game out there, but if you can do things and interact with friends in your ship/train/etc, I would say it's *not* a loading screen.
@@Quent1nB i think it sstream persistently nothing is ever unloaded from the server u just enter the area where its visible i think they explain it in a bunch of videos but that stuff a lil complex
@@sketchtherapy1218 People usually speak about client side loading screens, server side isn't very important, people don't see that. Yes the client game does unload some things from memory / use higher LODs when necessary, but that's pretty much the industry standard. No loading screen as far as I'm concerned :)
@@Quent1nB well this isn’t a one player game there 10 people at that station when you show up, it didn’t load in it was always there. Loading screen implies a graphic is generated while an area is loaded but here it’s more like Quantum Travel is fast travel like hitting nitrous on a race track the whole track is rendered its just that your graphics card needs to catch up with where you are in the game.
@@Quent1nB maybe Lods and load is different you may be talking programming stuff that I don’t understand.
The upcoming patch 3.23 is going to change a lot of things from a revamped character designer (new hairs, facial morphing, beards, hair dyes, etc), to a new star map and mini map, the addition of personal hangars, back pack reloading, dynamic crosshairs, distribution centres, animals, separation of the replication layer, new water and water physics, updated cloud rendering, and so much more.
Oooh this sounds awesome! The system map drove me a lil crazy, and despite the issues I had I loved it... I'm excited for more...and looking forward to this update!
3.23 will change a lot, also a lot of new keybindings, new star map, new flight modes etc. I would think the new patch might be released in 4 to 6 weeks depending on the ongoing tests. Oh and for the first time there will be animals in the game.
3.23 is likely 2 to 3 months out, there are some very big changes
@@RichGallant No it is not. It's currently in Evo testing and CIG have repeatedly stated that they aim to have it out before Invictus.
@@Heshinsi I am well aware it is in EVO testing, as of right now they are just trying to get things stable enough that you can log in and stay logged in. As of yesterday that can be problematic. This a huge patch with a lot of moving parts, what CIG hopes for and what actually happens can be along away a part.
Amazing to see a new citizen in the verse!
If I could give one advice: try to play with other people/friends, this game is SO - MUCH - FUN in a group, you might even find yourself doing light RP !
Aside from that, there are a million of game mechanics to learn, but if you play enough you will get there no doubt :)
Gratz on leaving the hangar bay that fast. I kept bumping to all sides for a bloody while before i got the hang of it. And welcome to SC!
Thank you! I've always been into flight.... first pc "game" I ever played was flight simulator 95.. 😝
I think the New Player Experience should definitely have a 'Use scroll mouse to accelerate and decelerate normal movement' section. lol
YES! I was like 'wtf why do we walk slow? This is how I run in my dreams...!'
The game costs less than $65. Most of the ships you can buy ingame with ingame earned money. Just remember, the game has been in development for 10 years and will be for another 10 most likely. I've been in since the beginning and need a fix of Star Citizen at least once a week. There's nothing like it.
I wish I'd have started when it came out ( i bought it way before that even! ) I just never did.... Seemed like a good time to start!
Welcome to the 'verse Emily. I started with Starfield as well, but now I am totally into this alpha game. I enjoy every aspect of it (except for the bugs, but it IS an alpha) and look for ward to the coming update with even more content to explore.
Thanks! I can see myself spending a great deal of time here 🥰
Another fun community aspect of the game is that you're not stuck piloting your own ship. Other players can call their fleet up and lend you a ship to try out, or even pilot or ride with you. Imagine a Star Trek crew! They can range from small one-person starters (the claustrophobic feel) to giant capital ships that can hold dozens of players, tons of cargo, and armed to the teeth in multiple stations. There's even a giant space yacht complete with a swimming pool, spa rooms, mutiple guest quarters, and a restaurant/bar. In fact, if I ever see you in game, I'd be happy to lend you a ship or two of different types to test-fly or crew with me. Also, you don't always have to auto-land (ALT-N). If you're adventurous, just line up your ship and gently strafe downward (CTRL) til you touch down. For safety, always shut off your engines, but you can leave the Power on. But like in real life, always close the doors behind you so no one can steal your ship Sometimes the easiest way to equip items from a box is to simply double-click it or drag it onto your character's body (helmet --> drag it onto your head; arm armor --> drag onto your arms). Some armors won't equip (like a heavy helmet) if you're wearing a light rather than heavy core. Also, in cases of a missing helmet, sometimes the fastest fix is to just fly to an R&R station, go to the Galleria level, and buy a cheap light helmet. Also, max out on med pens (which can be equipped on your leg armor (double click each one to add to the leg slots). To heal without med pens, visit any medical bay/facility and check into a surgery room. They'll fix you up in the bed. Most planets won't let you quantum travel until you leave the atomsphere, which is normally at least 10,000m up. On the cloud planet Crusader it's 90,000m (but you're already up in the sky). On moons it's much lower, about 2,000m up I think. Some mission areas won't let you quantum travel directly there if they're not major POIs, so you have to QT as close as possible then fly on thruster power the rest of the way. It the case of obstructed waypoints, just use the OM markers to fly around til you have a straight route.
Thank you! That is a lot of great tips! I'll try and remember them all... and awesome, keep an eye out for me - would love to see some friendly folk out there 🥰
I am a recent player too. There's always a way to by pass the bugs, you only have to met them once, to know how to avoid them. But yeah, i love that game. and so much potential and improvements coming too.
I do wish I was around when you started streaming. I would've been able to help with the little things, like using mouse wheel to increase movement speed when walking and your ship's maximum speed
Aww me too! I learned about that eventually l... man what a steep curve on this one! I can't wait for more 🥰
To walk faster, use your scroll wheel, jumping around will only get you injured, and in this game, it's the last thing you want. A point to remember, there are no cut screens in this game, every building, every rock, every object is modeled in, and everything runs in real time .
The next patch coming has major upgrades to it, finally get some of the promised things
Thanks! I learned that about the cut scenes...I jokingly said the metro loop is like a load screen, knowing better though! That is really amazing that it's all one seamless world! They said even the elevators actually move you to another location that is already there!
Yeah they need to do a better job of flashing on the screen how to change your walk speed via the mouse wheel. People are ingrained from other games that there is only W (forward) and Shift (sprint) for speeds in games.
@@emilysgame you get to see that if you have friends in a party, you can watch them move
@@emilysgame I can confirm this. If you glitch in a way where the elevator doesn't move over, you can see the inside of the station. In all elevator areas, are markers where they should be to remind the devs. If you are in a party, you can watch them obey Willy Wonka physics.
I love this game and sometimes hate it. When it works it is simply amazing. This is as far as i will ever be able to fly a starship, to experience maneuvering in an asteroid field. Mind you there will come a point-for most-when you realize, to really engage you are gonna have to splash the cash. It is all well and fine to get going in the Aurora but its limitations will be obvious sooner than you think. And than the pledge store will welcome you with an open arm and some amazing prices:)
Right?! I found this out about the pledge store....I bought two ships last night, and recorded the video for today using the Titan 😉 I really like this game...despite the issues. Just knowing what it is striving to be, and that its on its way there is enough for me to thoroughly enjoy and dig into it!
It takes time to learn but its worth it when you do get it.
Glad you had people in the live chat helping you, there's a lot going on over the last decade of this game's progress.
Agreed! I am grateful so many were able to help point me in the right direction! I really enjoyed this...
For a 1st Timer you Did GREAT! Next time try asking someone in chat to loan you a big ship so you can try it out, people are more then happy to give you a loaner it cost them nothing and they get it back for free if you crash it or log off.
Thanks! And interesting... I may check that out. I love trying new games, and this one, although a but intense, has been fun! I so badly wanted to try and record some this evening but I had to get my other games recorded.... maybe tomorrow night though! It was so good I just can't wait for more!
Even i playing star citizen and i love it since i did buy a game package in spring 2014. I am a older lady ( 64 ) that gets 18 agean between the ears playing Star Citizen hihihihihihi.
I love this! Game on girl - Maybe I'll see you out there 🥰
@@emilysgame My ingame name is Envoy_Victoria
you scroll up on the mouse wheel to move faster whilst walking
Welcome to the real verse Emily, forget everything you know about space from Starfield - SC is a very different animal. Take your time this is far closer to a Sim then Starfield and the physics and flight model reflect that. It has a great community and there's plenty of help around don't be afraid to use it, we all do. Oh and the pirates in this game are real and nasty, fly safe.
Thanks! I honestly don't know anything about space from Starfield...theres simply nothing to know! Flying is very basic in Starfield space, and docking/landing is done automagically. I love the fact you can do this totally by hand! This is much better in my opinion...
The biggest takeaway from this is: put the text dead center so people can read it. As a veteran backer and player of the game for many years I can vaguely remember my own first few days in the game so this was very informative to see how a new player interacts with the game.
It's nice to see someone new play and see they enjoy it. Keeps me in check that I'm not jaded. You got out and about way faster than I did when I started, lol!
Nice to see so many positive comments below too!
Thank you! I love this game - its been quite an adventure, soooo looking forward to getting into the 3.24.2 PU this evening in a livestream with friends....Hadn't had a chance since it dropped last night. Glad you are not jaded too! 🥰
Aaaahhhhh, I see you've found Star Citizen! If someone offers to be a guide, it can really reduce your learning curve. Just like Starfield, there's not a lot of info on basic play. I have close to 900 hours in Starfield, but waaaaayyyy more than that in Star Citizen! Where Starfield is a spacified rpg, Star Citizen is more of a gamified simulator. BTW, there are NO loading screens in this game (other than when you wake up).
Yes I did! I actually bought this way back when it was only a dream! It was a while before it was playable from that point, but then when it was, I never tried it! I was glad I found my account info in my old email from way back when so I could finally get going on this.
Welcome to the Verse Star Citizen Emily!! Hope You will enjoy it, regardless of bugs, the likes of pirates, pad rammers etc. Again, fortunately there are allot of great people out in the Verse that will help U out and even come to your rescue, or just have a gg experience!!! See U perhaps out there Citizen Emily!!! Have Fun! and good noob vid, enjoyed it! ;-)
Thank you! And oh yes, I am enjoying it...I think about it all day long...and I'm already eyeballing new ships! Can't wait to do more!
If you ever want a guide, let me know. I have more ships than sense at this point, I'd be happy to show you around
Thank you! I'm certainly open for that!
Ditto as for me..I have few ships that are gathering dust.. thou everything changes in a month or so, so whatever u learn might be the right way
Ugh, I have more pledged ships than is reasonable so I too clearly have more ships than sense. 🤦♀ I actually had to compile a list the other day.
...it didn't seem like so many when I pledged them.
Like others I have way more ships than I need but I wouldn't give up any of them. I might need it. 😎 Welcome to the verse.
The customizing in Patch 3.23 will be much better I can say...good luck and very welcome in the verse ;-)
I'm looking forward to that, and I'm so happy to be here finally! This game has been on my list for ( what has it been....??!! )10 years now. Thank you!! 🥰
@@emilysgameThis will be what the customizer will look like in the next update: ruclips.net/video/F1CEaBIPsVo/видео.htmlsi=4ZKT8NAZlGb1xR6K
I would be happy to show you around the verse sometime. Give you a bit of a jump start on heading around the absolutely gorgeous universe that is SC
Love seeing new people join the game! I’ve been playing for years. If you ever need someone to guide you through things, let me know!
Yes I'd LOVE that! I love that so many people are willing to help with this....Thank you! I wasn't sure if this was a game I'd want to keep playing or not, but I'm sure now that I'm gonna keep it going!
This guy said it all
SC is all about knowledge and player skill. Getting good takes time. You'll get there!
Then its time this party gets started! I'm hoping to play tonight but we have this awful storm heading in...Probly a good chance I won't get to hop in there tonight 😢
@@emilysgame Let me know if you wanna man a turret on my Corsair sometime! Woman the turret rather ;)
Barring any actual bugs, I believe the reason the multi-tool healing attachment wouldn't work might be because you need a med canister on the second attachment point for it to work, otherwise it has no drugs to heal with.
Best option is to carry a pile of medpens in your gear somewhere, even if not equipped on the external slots. You can fit a lot in a backpack, or even your normal armor storage.
feels good to see a starfielder is flying the way to the planets down with his own hands🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for posting this. I've been playing it for a few years, so it's interesting to have a new player's perspective. I thought you did great for your first time in the game. I think it would be great for CIG to see videos liek this as well, since It lets you see where some of the pain points are in the game for new players.
You're starting right around the hype time of 3.23 and the character creation features will be released along with a slow and steady roll of updates and much needed QoL changes to the game.
Welcome to the verse, where there is no loading screens. ;)
1:06:00 always keep your power on, turn your engines off so your ship doesn't fly away by accident. (the power is so your shields stay on and people have a harder time destroying it.)
1:08:12; that isn't a storage area, its a bed you can log out on if you have to.
to place boxes, you have to hold in F and aim at the box until you can see the "place" command on the box & then press that, then you have an option to place anything anywhere on the ground even on shelves.
Again welcome to the verse & enjoy your stay.
How is it your first time playing but have all those unique items in inventory that were rewarded by CIG to players while back?
I backed the game YEARS ago....So whatever they 'gave' to account owners, I got all that, including a 3 million credit at some point.
There are no loading screens in SC. You are actually in physicalized elevators and trains (and ships) that move.
Love watching folks play SC for the 1st time. Welcome to the Verse!! 😉
Thanks! So glad to be here!
One more super handy little trick, grab a couple of the same empty bottles of Cruze and stack them in your inventory. When you are thirsty, put one in your hand and magic - it will be a 100% full, just keep restacking and as long as you have at least two empty bottles of the same drink, it will always be full when you need a drink and Cruze helps with hunger too as a bonus
Interesting! Think that will get fixed in the/a patch?
Welcome to the verse 07
Thanks! Looking forward to more 🥰
Great to see your first experience in SC as you experienced it. I hope someone from CIG sees this and takes notes. Things like delivering your ship and THEN retrieving it are definitely not clear to a newcomer, and figuring out how to request clearance to take off is super unclear in the tutorial. The part of the UI they are trying to tell you to click on should definitely FLASH or get an arrow beside it during the tutorial. A couple of suggestions:
1. When you land your ship, turn off the engines with I instead of powering down. When you power down, the shields also power down and will need to charge up when you get back in the ship. It also leaves the ship more vulnerable if someone decides to shoot it while you're out of it. For some reason this also works when you store the ship in stations, so just leave it powered up and the shields will be full when you get in next time.
2. Someone already said this but it's worth repeating, the DEFAULT walk speed is really slow but you can adjust it with mouse wheel. My advice is to not adjust it too high, but to leave walk as kind of a brisk walk speed and use sprint for running. You will just miss a ton of beautiful design and artwork if you run past everything.
3. All AI is currently "broken" so interacting with NPCs is usually very frustrating. This is because each NPC's AI is considered a "low priority thread" on the server. When you play the game you attach to a "Shard" server. Right now, each shard on the "Live" environment has only one server running everything in it's universe by itself. Over the next few months starting with 3.23 we are seeing multiple servers sharing the load for each shard. You will hear about "Replication Server" and "GDC" servers, but there may also be "AI" servers or some mix of them as CIG figures out the right balance. The whole thing is called "server meshing" but the bottom line is at the end of this we should have AI NPCs and creatures that behave like we all expect.
As overwhelming as it all seems, there's so much fun to be had, especially with other players, but if you want to solo, definitely try renting a Prospector and checking out mining, or buy a Vulture in-game at Lorville and check out Salvage. Both are a lot of fun. I would not advise trying either without watching a recent RUclips video first though.
Welcome to the 'Verse! o7 (saluting)
Thank you so much for the tips! I felt like I missed obvious clues somewhere, but so many have said the game so far is not great for teaching how/what to do! I really appreciate all the tips I've gotten from everyone, and I'm so happy to be here!
@@emilysgamelook at the right side of your screen, they added useful tips and keybinds based on what are you doing there lately, which is very helpful. I agree that the UX is confusing for new players and their hints are too subtle. Also they changed a lot of keybinds and the keybinds menu is cluttered and sadly has no search
I've been playing the game on and off for 3 years. Its got a lot of nuance you want to plan for in its current state. First and foremost, SAVE YOUR KEY BINDS AND PUT THEM IN A DIFFERENT FOLDER. Every update it completely erases all key binds. And that's HUNDREDS of binds between the On Foot, In Vehicle, Flight, HUD, and the various control methods (mouse keyboard, and HOTAS)
Was I the only one shouting ‘Mouse scroll wheel’ when Emily was struggling with walking speed? Lol
I'm sure you were not!
Respect for surviving the tutorial in one piece! :) - Welcome in the 'verse. o7
OMG I love your user thumbnail! One of my favorite robots of all time 🥰 And also - Thank yoU! I tried 😋 I'm looking forward to spending much time in the verse!
Awesome content!
Thanks for the video!
Overall, would you say you like the game?
Your welcome! I LOVED it! Sure I had some frustrations but I figured as much with such a complicated game...I'm uploading a video now of me attempting a box mission, that went just wrong! I nearly deleted it but figured, well...learning experience...what am I doing wrong here? I don't think I did anything wrong, I think it was just glitching on me.
Either way I love it and will continue to play!
Congrats on playing the game. I was laughing when you were going to the space station. I was over here like > kill the speed lol. You did great. I started about a year or two ago and there was no tutorial so this is good. Not the best but it gets you the basics. Hope you continue to play. I love it out side of some issues here and there but like they said, when it works, game over. Oh and great job on you first flight not dying lol. I died lol a few times lol. You can do arena command to fly and practice so you don't have to keep going to the hospital. Once you get flying down you will probably really love it.
Your first flight was way better than mine.
Welcome to the 'Verse. Don't be afraid to ask questions, the community is very helpful.
i hope the 3.23 patch comes out soon so you'll be even more amazed at how much the game can change and improve from patch to patch :)
Welcome to the Verse! You did a lot better than most on your first outing... my brother crashed 3 times before ever leaving the hangar. 🤣 I'm glad you had a lot of fun. SC can be daunting but once you get into it, it can quickly become your go to game.
I've not seen anyone mention it, but if you ask in global chat a lot of people will take you on as crew. A lot of people will happily let you join in on a salvage op on their Reclaimer or work a turret on their cargo ship and most will pay you too! Let them know you're new and want to be shown the ropes. next thing you know you're a beltalowda working a reclamation ship out of Seraphim for some creds just hoping to make it back to G-Lock at A-18 for some cold beers.
I would take this time before 3.23 to learn the ropes and not worry to much about making creds. There hasn't been an announcement but speculation is that there will be a full wipe of the database which we haven't had in over a year. If that happens, that will be a good time to start to focus on making creds and crewing up.
Have fun and safe flying! o7
Trams are not a loading screen; there are zero loading screens once in-game (well, caveat in a moment...); you can fly in a ship next to the train and wave to people on the train and they can wave back. It is all physicalized. The only "loading screen" in-game is when respawning after death, or currently for the transition in the Jump Point (when that test for Pyro is active) - but that will also be physicalized gameplay eventually, via server meshing, and you'll have to navigate the Jump Point tunnel manually. And then you have loading screen on log on, obviously. Finally, right now, "server recovery" on server meshing, when active, is also a bit of a "loading screen" - you are still in game and can do some stuff, but you aren't connected or able to really interact until the server fully recovers (a few minutes, as things last were for said test at least.)
And I realize others had chimed in, just wanted to add a bit more detail on the issue.
Thank you! I learned it was not - I sorta thought it was an interactive loading screen until I realized you can see each other inside/outside of the tram! Thats seriously cool!!!
I'd be happy to play with you one day and give you a few pointers. It was both painful, comical, and cathartic to watch you struggle the same way I did when I first started! All the little tricks and tips to work around the bugs could fill a book.
😝Oh my I was all over the place! It was fun though - I loved it and can't wait to jump back in ( hoping to this evening - will record and edit this time instead of stream...I feel like those long waits are brutal between points when you QT somewhere! )
@@emilysgame you can upgrade your drive to be faster with the trade-off that your range drops. Larger ships hold more fuel to offset that trade off.
Novikov and Pembroke helmets are matched to their undersuits(armor) as they are for extreme temps.
Mouse wheel up and down will change how fast you walk/run, pretty sure it sets throttle limit up or down in the ships too. Haven't been on in about 2 years. Not the games fault home stuff.
Thank you! I learned this at some point thanks to other viewers as well - super good to know and honestly, I LIKE that you can adjust walking speed! Nothing drives me up a wall like following someone somewhere and you are too fast or too slow to keep up!
Welcome to the Verse!! The next patch of this game will be awesome.
Also there is no "burn up" in Star Citizen; every ship is shielded against heat. If you do hit the edge of atmosphere through normal flight rhere will be atmospheric flames but are not harmful. AlT-C is throttle lock; C is toggling Coupled mode (frankly I don't know why they used those keys-- just causes more new pilot deaths than anything). Entry and exit of hangars in stations is done by using the COMM panel and tapping the button next to the spaceport Name. Just be sure to adjust your speed (mousewheel) down so you don't crash in. SQ42 (Squadron 42) is the single player campaign that was the original Kickstarter. That's where the majority of the dev funds were spent, to complete the game. Now that's it's feature-complete and in polishing, they're able to move over large teams back to the MMO side to build and refine it. AT T01:32:00 when you were stuck, you accidentally hit the 'V' key to toggle scanning mode. AT T01:38:20 I think you were stuck on the edge of a building after nearly crashing andt that's why you couldn't move. Sometimes if you F4 you can look around to check what's going on. Oh, it seems your throttle was all the way to 0. Scroll-wheel adjusts your "max throttle" and when you accelerate thats the upper limit. If you go into the red bar, that's when you're exceeding the maneuvering thruster capacity (to smoothly control your ship). I would be happy to walk you through a bunch, but I would try to do so like a tour guide, so it feels less like a class and more like an immersive journey. Until then, have fun, please be patient regarding bugs and UI ambiguity. It will improve soon!
I got hooked on star citizen Christmas this year and it hooked me hard even with all the glitches its still better than anything else playable now and with all that is coming it is going to be insane
Its buggy but way better than starfield, when the next patch drops then youll be blown. Welcome to the verse!
Anymore, what isn't buggy 😝 ! But that's ok with me - I've grown use to it in the 20+ years I've worked in IT.... I still love Starfield though, doubtful that will change for me. But that's fine too! This is a better space sim, that is a better RPG, and much like Skyrim, I hope/intend to play it for several years...hopefully like Star Citizen now too!
The last time I played was back several months ago. I heard about the new patch 3.23 coming out soon and it is going to be so much better. So I will check it out once it released. Also, it is so awesome watching a noob playing Star Citizen for the first time hehe. Just like me, had no clue when I first start. When I did my first delivery mission, I crashed my ship, over and over lol. Anyway, keep learning and you will get better.
You did really well for your first time. Many many people blowup trying to get out of the hanger.
Thank you! I just tried playthrough myself and it went pretty wrong! But - still fun.
@@emilysgame There is a lot to learn. I have played the game for the last 3 years. Once you get over that learning curve you really get to see the potential of the game.
Stick with it and I think you will have a great experience. The community is helpful for the most part. You can just ask a question in globule chat and people will help.
@@emilysgame hehe you might have already noticed this but when a new youtuber tries Star Citizen and the community finds out. You will have LOTs of people ready to help you enjoy the game they love.
Welcome to the Verse Emily.
Glad to have another spacefarer.
Thank you!
Next patch, which is coming in late april or may, will have a lot of quality of life updates. There's a complete rework of the UI and star map. Everyone in the community is recommending new players to hold off from trying the game until then. Apparently a free fly event(where the game becomes free to play for a week) might come with the patch too.
Thanks! I found this out last night - I might have waited had I realized it but that's OK - I'll get the basic idea out of the way now and then hopefully less struggles when the new patch is release!
@@emilysgame
Keep in mind free fly event tends to be more buggy and laggy than usual because there's a lot more people playing.
Personally, I bind the Call ATC function to F3 button, as that is vacant. Super easy then to ask permissions for takeoff, landings. Although you can always click the button in the cockpit, or do it via MobiGlass chat function. Spaceport/-station is always at the top of the friend list in chat
For new player, the speed adjustment should be in tutorial as the first point. Maybe they change it later. You can just change your movement speed with the mouse wheel. Works on foot and for vehicles. I like the concept. Gives you more control over your running speed and now I missing it in other games. ;)
Don't know how I missed your comment! Sorry for my late reply... but yes I love that concept! It makes so much sense! It wasn't noticeable in the tutorial, my wife also got the game and went through the tutorial and didn't see it either...so if it's still in there, they've made it very difficult to notice!
The really should have created an inventory tutorial. Had I not been with someone to start it would have been much harder. She is definitely struggling with this. A guide teaching you how you don't carry everything with you all the time and is "stored" on each planet would greatly help the new players. Hopefully the next release will have something like that. I didn't watch this live but I was still wanting to jump in chat so bad to try to help.
Agreed! I'm actually intending to create tutorials before beginners as I getbitbdown better, including inventory!
@@emilysgame that is awesome. The inventory control IS IN the Mobiglass Journal. It is the one named Tutorial Shopping and Inventory. You actually HAVE to READ IT. I had help learning it by being on a discord and ingame together. I was streaming my game to his server and he showed me where to point and click to understand it. That was over a year ago. When relaunching the game and starting over with the tutorial then reading it THEN it made sense.
I have the best times in Starcitizen, if you are creative there is unlimited things to do, explore is one of my favorites... can't wait until next patch is gonna be HUGE.
Any quest at at your hand wrist with F1 . You can start them directly there. There are currently nearly no NPC givinh you a quest/mission directly
Twitch at Area 18, the Assassin dude at Grim and the Hurston manager will give you missions. I heard a bartender will give you some as well but that was back in 3.17 or earlier and I don’t know if he still does
i play this game quite often i thin k i even have a few videos up there is nothing like this game out there and i stand by it.the game will be one of the biggest games ever when fully out.
SC is a sandbox so theres no over-arching storyline like in starfield. You can't activate cruise control if you are accelerating. Global chat is usually really helpful when new players have questions. But, expect bugs, its an alpha, and there are a lot of changes coming very soon. Welcome to the game and have fun!
Welcome to the verse and the best community anywhere!
Thank you, and you are not kidding! I've not had this much response on a single video before...and I've never had so much help offered from so many before! I love this community and looking forward to being a part of it! Thank you 🥰
Welcome to the Verse! Understandable there's a very steep learning curve with little hand holding. The tutorial is bound to change constantly as the UI will be revamped. It's because the development is still very fluid and mechanics are being changed constantly as they try to get to an actual 1.0. Next month almost EVERY aspect of the game will be overhauled in a major way with patch Alpha 3.23 so please stay tuned and have patience. A large portion of the developers from the single player campaign have been moved over to the MMO side to integrate all the interactive elements and technology. Btw you can adjust your walk speed in first-person by using the scroll wheel. Running is hold-down Shift but it uses stamina. Also don't be shy about using chat. Players are generally helpful. Also PVP isn't something you have to engage in. It's completely possible to do 100% exploration and PVE stuff solo, with friends, or with random people you meet (and trust). Server meshing should be coming later this year which will fill the Verse with at least 400+ players per local shard area
One of the sticking points for me was the lack of hand holding and having to look around Pay Attention and realize the signs are there for sign reasons and maps are good just like going to a new mall got to look at the map.
@@Wbroach24 and maps are changing in a big way later this month. A completely ground-up redo of the star map UI and the inclusion of an interactive FPS holographic map is coming, with searchable and taggable waypoints.
You should keep the power on your ship so shields stay on, only turn off the engines.
btw, to every new player: you can always ask player in game for help. Yes, there are some bad people around, like it is in every MMO game. But most people are very helpful. Myself I play medic role in game and in my Org (Org is something like a player guild in this game). We rescue people, healing them, and even can give some starter things, if you lost everything. Just ask in Chat. But please not just "Can someone give me money?". Do multicrew on board a Reclaimer and you earn millions credits in a short time. Just ask for work on Reclaimer. ;)
Thanks! I was fortunate for backing the game many years ago! I got somehow a credit deposit of 3 mill....gave me a great start. I purchased a reclaimer this weekend...although I was on 2 priior to purchase and both exploded as we were done packing it...faulty boxes? And then we took mine out and it did the same JUST as we started salvaging a C2 😭 No worries though. I got a vulture as well, so I'm gonna try a solo run with that and record it for other 'new' folks to see what they are in for!
@@emilysgame vulture is a nice salvage starter. People make up to 200k credits per run. :)
Welcome aboard
you should run through the key binds to see what going on the main keys when walking,
of course W, A, S, D for walking Q and E for leaning (with a weapon) G to equip a grenade (if equipped) mouse scroll wheel to increase/decrease walking speed. 1, 2, 4, to equip weapons/tools 0 to use unarmed combat, scroll wheel click to perform one move take down.
I tell ALL "noobs" do the delivery missions at least 10 of them, loot all the buildings (put everything in local innovatory then when you get on your ship put them in the ships innovatory) this will get you used to landing taking off and traversing the systems. from there do what ever you want try everything even if you don't think its your cup of tea. save up for a Drake Vulture to print money. then you do what you want to.
Thank you! I have figured out a good bit of the key bindings, but I did not actually realize the ship had its own inventory too! Not sure why I wouldn't have...makes total sense!
Print money?! Hmmm 🤔
@@emilysgamealso X while in the ship is space break, but it wont work unti you use boost L SHIFT key, you can bind it with an option in settings (I think General) and put all the Pilot views to 0 to not have that annoying (too me) camera movement.
There is a rare bug in Star Citizen where the apartment door will not open, closing and re-opening the game fixes it.
Subbed and welcome to the verse! o7
Welcome to the Verse!
Been with SC since 2013 and the coming new build (in a month or so) will change everything for the better.
middle mouse wheel advances speed to walk or stroll. Welcome to the game too.
That helmet has to have the rest of the novikov armor to epuip it it wont just go on a flight suit unfortunately
Thanks! I see that now. I must have missed the info on that as I progressed? Seems like a lot of things in here are either hard to catch or not there for you to know?
@emilysgame yeah there wasn't a tutorial when I started playing in like 2019 or so or that's when I started looking into it. It was definitely a fun learning experience I actually started mouse and keyboard didn't like it and didn't play again until I had a throttle and stick, which eventually evolved into dual sticks and pedals lol I like flying a lot haha.
Welcome to the verse, if you ever need a lift or even a bottle of water just shout. Star Citizen players are some of the best community I've known.
Always love seeing new people get into this game. Not gonna lie it would have been netter to wait for 3.23 to come out in the next month or 2 though.
*better
I'm hearing/seeing that now! But thats OK, I'm 'hooked' and will get the basics at least figured out now. I'm gonna dig into this for some time to come!
@emilygames 2:34:30 the destroyed Freelancer had a green box in the cargo that very well could have been Gasping Weevil Eggs worth about $225,000 at a salvage yard.
@emilysgame
😮🤔😥 dang...... Well...I guess next time?
39:11 What new players SHOULD do is go into global chat and ask an experienced Player to jump on with them and run the first few hours with them. Guaranteed you will find a player more than willing to assist.
I've got dozens of people now in my discord that have been helping me. It's been great!
Welcome to the Community Emily.
Thank you! So happy to have found it 🥰
First of all, welcome to rhe verse... second to fix the walking speed use the scroll on your mouse.. it allows you to control the speed. 😊
Thank you for this! I actually really like that option!! So many games - the walking is either too fast or too slow when following an NPC or something..
@@emilysgame also we are about to have 3.23 drop later this month, it is going to upgrade alot of the us including new looting systems, mini maps, new solar map, interactive system for objects, two creatures are also coming in. If you look though Star citizen live, Inside Star citizen or even Citizen con footage, they are showing the new system and its damn beautiful.
Walking is as slow or fast as you want, it is not like Bethesda where it's walk or run. The mouse wheel controls the variable movement speed of both on foot and in spaceships.
Star Citizen is like growing pain, but the end result will be rewarding
I hope you fund this out but you have different armour classes. Light, medium, and heavy are the classes you can't equipt a heavy armour helmet when you have light armour equiped.
Welcome to Star Citizen
You can adjust the walking speed by using your mouse wheel.
Great tip! Not sure if I missed it or the game didn't tell me this?
welcome to the verse!! There is nothing quite like this game, bugs and all.
if you would like i can show you the game if you want to know more about it, its a very niche game that takes many hours to do anything useful but its my favorite.i would be happy to join you on a stream and show you some of the game loops, ie: salvaging, bounties, bunkers, mining, and many other things,
Absolutely! Join when ever you are able to!
That Novikov helmet needs special armor to equip.
You could post a beacon for medical assistance then tell the player to bring you a helmet or fly to a shop where you can buy a new one. Also that green crate has Weevil Eggs worth a lot of credits.
next patch should include minimap + i belive there should be navigation (not sure if thats in patch too). That should help begginers big time not getting lost, heck i even get lost sometimes in places i dont know well and i have 1k+ hours
As a "veteran" of SC, it was funny & irritating to watch but a good remembering of why I rage quitted the game in 3.12 and came back for good since 3.13.
Even with a tutorial SC doesn't take you by the hand and uses mechanics that are rare or not important in other game. Well done citizen!
Welcome to Star Citizen game!
Thank you! Excited to be here 🥰
