This is definitely one way to make money as a solo player, but the best way I've found to make money is to simply ask to join a reclaimer crew in chat. I just made 7 million for literally 1 hours work in a 2 man crew.
I started Star Citizen over a year ago as a complete idiot. Fortunately, I found your videos, and even though I've learned the ropes of the game since then, I still watch every one of these beginner videos as well, because you never know when you'll see/hear some tasty extra info. Thanks for your effort in making these helpful videos!
I used to watch your guides to bringing home the space cheddar for ED, and you're still a great source of info now in SC too! Thanks for all the time you put into making these! Very much appreciate how you show the downsides that can happen as well as the successful runs so folks have a realistic understanding of what to expect.
Save for a PC. The hardware is more expensive, but the games are cheaper. And backwards compatible. If you don’t know how to build a PC yourself, NZXT sells PCs for a fairly decent price. They also sell kits you can build yourself with instructions if you want to save a few hundred bucks. Once you go PC you won’t ever go back. I have consoles and a PC. The consoles collect dust except for when I want to play an exclusive.
I play with a bunch of old vets who don't know you can vacuu-suck with the multi tool. Gonna blow their minds when I tell em. Great video man. I wish I had seen it when I started! If you are starting out, this video is pure concentrated knowledge. You may wanna watch it a couple times!
A lot of people make star citizen videos. No one makes them as detailed and helpful as you. I appreciate your time you took to make this because it helped me greatly for someone that took a long break from the game. You're a legend thank you for the help, this game is very intimidating when you're lost.
I like how you show the ups and downs of how a place can already have been looted. Bedlogging is something I still haven't developed the habit of doing (hold-over from when it was busted). Good guide though and I will definitely give it a shot! Thank you :)

I would also add this. If the new player is going to ROC mine, I would mention that the Cutty Black has a tractor beam. More than likely a new player will overcook a roc and explode. Don’t park the ship so close to take damage. And when the Roc gets disabled, the ship tractor beam can put the disabled Roc back in the ship, or have a Maxlift to move it. So he can transfer Roc inventory into the ship
Just bought my son a holiday Avenger Titan game pack and he is just getting started. Made sure to forward this video to him. Pretty much the same method I used to get started so You just saved me some explaining. 👍
Pro tip, you can press shift click to move an item from the right loot panel to the left and vice versa. So you don’t have to drag them over one at a time. Double click on the item will equip it.
One of my favourite things to do is loot absolutely everything, another good spot is by taking the shuttle at the top of the Crusader showroom at Orison. It takes you to what I assume is the Siege of Orison location, plenty of weapons, armour and supplies for multiple people.
It's great to see that the Vulture now works better for solo play. When I was being shown how to do this, it pretty much required someone in the hold, ejecting boxes and stacking them, to avoid having to run down to the hold and back the cockpit every few minutes.
This is awesome. After two years of struggling to get this game down I find the starter how to videos always offer the best info to keep me moving. Tks
For the first time since buying the game 5 years ago I managed to takeoff, do a goofy 3,000cr mission and make it back to the starport. No crashes or major glitches...it was fun and nice to see the game is becoming a little more playable. I'm going to hit this guide to help me out. Thx Commander!
I just got my son also into this game, but could not afford anything more than the basic Aurora $45 Starter Pack. So hopefully tonight I will chaperone him around so he can see all the loot worthy settlements. Unfortunately his Aurora do not have a bed so I will just let him bed log on my Connie.
Great guide. Two corrections: 1. Pirates camp at all good loot locations. They WILL blow up your ship over and over again. They WILL shoot you if you are both indoors. So go there without any important equipment. Just a space helmet and a 1U cargo box and a multitool tractor beam! 2. Bed logging is extremely dumb. First of all, the game has a very common glitch (25% of the time), where instead of sleeping, your character stands up on the bed and gets stuck in the ceiling and cannot get out. Endlessly bouncing on the bed glitch. HUD becomes unusable. The only solution is alt-F4, which makes you lose the ship and all cargo and progress. And secondly, bed logging itself can break and lose all your progress by not saving your ship. Don't do it. Your risk of losing everything every time you bed log is over 50%. Everything else you said is good.
You can speed up your looting if you hold left shift and click on the item you want to move over from the chest to the local inventory. This saves you the hassle of moving your mouse back and forth across the screen. Also, with the level 2 rep in Red Wind deliveries, you can unlock the illicit deliveries which take you on a tour of all the hidden drug labs around Crusader. Since these destinations don't have quantum travel markers, you are less likely to run into other players and still highly likely to find guns and ammo to loot.
I just started playing Star Citizen this month, my friends been playing for almost two months, and your vids have helped us a lot. Thanks for making these tips and tricks
I've been playing since 3.14, but mostly focusing on dogfighting. I've done a little FPS mining and a lot of exploring, so this video showed me quite a few new things!
I got the starter pack like almost 10 years ago now, before the game was really all that playable. I was only able to start playing for real recently after my most recent pc upgrade and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Thanks for the videos!!
This guide really helped me get a good start back into SC. This is the third time I've tried to play over the many years and with your guide I actually felt like I made progress for the first time and now I'm really having a blast. Thanks a lot!
ironically one of the best salvage guides. while I was just doing the regular 3 am youtube video session (ironically in the manner that it isn't a salvage guide)
Came across your vids when I came back to 3.17 after a long hiatus and needed some starting info.... Now I just watch your videos for the entertainment... you, sir, are funny and informative! Keep 'm comin' please. :)
I bought a starter pack back in 2013 and haven't ever played; I've been waiting for at least beta 😅. Anyway, I've decided I don't want to wait anymore and will be jumping in this weekend. Found this video and really enjoy your delivery, so have a sub. While I don't really know half of what you're talking about, this video is being saved to come back to after I've mucked about in my 300i and want to seriously start earning. So yeah, thanks very much for this content!
i bought the $50 dollar aurora bundle years ago and havent played the game yet. Recently I got a 3060ti so im deff getting on this tonight. Keep up the great work
Thank you for the guide man. Simple, well said, entertaining, and short. I bought a MISC Hull A in 2022 hoping they would soon finish the cargo system and make it fully viable but that never really happened and it stayed profitable for only the players with the big boy cargo haulers. Came back to the game and have been struggling to break past the 300k mark in credits with smuggling but with this guide I think I'm gonna be rolling in credits soon, enough to join in the current scrapper meta with a Vulture.
I have been play for about a year never made much money just messing around with friends, but now we are trying to get more into the game so this guide is great help thank you!!!
I remember your videos from my ED days and you're the first person i thought of to check for SC content! Quality content as usual mate, deserve more subs!
One thing I would adjust to this, instead of dropping the empty bottle. I would store it in the local inventory. Not only does it keep your ship clean, but it is one less persistent entity that will crash the server
I'm hoping to purchase start citizen sometime in the future. Just need to wait till the computer gets back from the shop. Cool vids man. Super helpful.
one note is that SCD-1 isn't the safest place in the verse. It's a gold buy point and daymar tends to get a lot of pirates from activity at brios. If you pop over to Yela you should be able to sell at AC-Mining 157 which has an AZ and is much quieter.
Thanks again! Seriously, I've been away since 3.18 and started the game after watching your guide and started my snowball from there and now sitting on 70 Mil UEC after 2 weeks lol (all live streamed)
The recent update has helped so much with the general feel of the game. I have been playing alot with friends that where leery at first but so far its been rather fun,
Well i just started yesterday and i dont know how to buy guns anf gear so a got nothing so the first part of this vid was a big help. Thank you. Also awsome vid.
Really enjoying your content. Still learn something new or something obvious. I should have figured out myself! Ty for your time! W content creator for sure!
I've been wanting to pick the game back up so thanks for the guide! Would also be nice to give the cutter package to my friend so he can join in on the fun. Keep up the great work!
I actually already knew all this stuff as I have been playing for a while. I think this vid is great! It really shows progression and how things sometimes dont work out as planned. All these other creators make it seem like you should be getting 10mil every time you take ur ship out.
I did it..... After not playing any space game after the launch of Odyssey, I've finally bit the bullet and jumped into star citizen.. after not being able to land again I look on RUclips for a guide.... Well if it isn't all my old friends from elite 😊
Another great video. Been followng you since Finding your Elite Dangerous & NMS guides. Always the best place to find out how to make that space cheddar quickly! Great work!
I probably have thousands of uec worth of goods in random planetside locations as I keep forgetting to move everything into my ship inventory before leaving. Doh

A friendly reminder to remember to always move your looted stuff from your local inventory to the vehicle inventory _before_ takeoff 🙂

Same here lol and love his trade route videos as a fellow space trucker
Thanks for the instructions. Bought some starter package but haven’t moved past the space station
I started playing as a total idiot too. Still play as an idiot actually. Thought I'd wisen up using some smart advice.
He is a legend

Rose's are red violets are blue im a console player so I'll cry myself to bed
Bro..that's tuff... Try to join the master race!1! You are always welcome! O7 ;-)
Hopefully he doesn’t with the Cutter
You don't have to worry about this scam.
If you played Cyberpunk 2077 at launch just picture that, but for years.
Save for a PC. The hardware is more expensive, but the games are cheaper. And backwards compatible.
If you don’t know how to build a PC yourself, NZXT sells PCs for a fairly decent price. They also sell kits you can build yourself with instructions if you want to save a few hundred bucks.
Once you go PC you won’t ever go back. I have consoles and a PC. The consoles collect dust except for when I want to play an exclusive.
I play with a bunch of old vets who don't know you can vacuu-suck with the multi tool. Gonna blow their minds when I tell em.
Great video man. I wish I had seen it when I started!
If you are starting out, this video is pure concentrated knowledge. You may wanna watch it a couple times!
Love the honesty about how sometimes you won’t find any loot but keep trying.

Just bought my son a holiday Avenger Titan game pack and he is just getting started. Made sure to forward this video to him. Pretty much the same method I used to get started so You just saved me some explaining. 👍
Ayeee I started with the titan (aka the penguin) then later moved to the gladius cause I enjoyed combat. But it’s a very versatile and cool ship

didnt think about server hopping between regions, thanks!
I’m so glad that there are folks like you out there making guides like this, it makes life a lot easier for people like me
Took a week to get to this point as I was figuring the game out but great video and it helped a ton
It's great to see that the Vulture now works better for solo play. When I was being shown how to do this, it pretty much required someone in the hold, ejecting boxes and stacking them, to avoid having to run down to the hold and back the cockpit every few minutes.

Thanks for the guide, will definitely help if I get the game!
Brand new player here. This is the first really helpful starter vid I've found. Excellent work, man. Thank you.
Just curious... How many fps do you get and what are your specs on your PC because I just did some upgrades and I can't get 30fps
I just got my son also into this game, but could not afford anything more than the basic Aurora $45 Starter Pack. So hopefully tonight I will chaperone him around so he can see all the loot worthy settlements. Unfortunately his Aurora do not have a bed so I will just let him bed log on my Connie.
If he bed logs in your ship make sure you fully log in before he tries to connect. It will cause a problem if he logs in first.
If they have the MR, the bed is a hole in the wall behind the pilot seat
First run today and loads of MONEY!!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the guide bro, hope I have a chance of winning.
You can drop out of quatamn drive by holding b for a sec and releasing instead of turning the ship off
Drake Cutter is my fave starter ship.
I found that clearing the shader folder cures that little radar blip glitch you get when you move the mouse over the centre of the HUD
This needs some updating, the local inventory doesn’t exist anymore
Your vid has pushed me over the edge.
After watching and waiting for years now me thinks is time.... Great vid
