You seriously went the full 1,000 yards with this tutorial! Now I have an awesome video to send my buddies to so they can get up to speed with the game and save me some hair! Thanks a ton and hats off for such a fantastic tutorial!

[@CaptainBerks]

Thank you! Comments like this make it worth it, just trying to make them game as fun for others as it is for me!

[@volgergrafie]

@@CaptainBerks how i can open the shop? where i can search items

[@drksideofthewal]

40 minutes, and it barely scratches the surface. SC is deeper than people realize.

[@JBeamGT3]

As a pilot IRL the flight model alone has a lot of depth as well that's largely overlooked. It's insane how the ships maneuver inside and outside of the atmospheres.

[@latjolajban81]

@@JBeamGT3 lol. It's not realistic at all.

[@B.D.E.]

It's a hell of a lot more broken and unfinished than it is deep.

[@drksideofthewal]

@@B.D.E. "Unfinished," means you're probably comparing the game to what was promised, rather than looking at how SC actually compares to existing games. 90% of games are shooters with precisely one kind of gameplay: shooting. No mining, no salvage, no medical, no law system, no vehicles. And certainly no flying between planets without loading screens. SC is already deep.

[@latjolajban81]

@@drksideofthewal That's not deep. Most of the "professions" is simply pointing a beam at it. SC is millions of miles wide, but only an inch deep.

[@Twidgyt]

Great use of the progress bar to cover the disclaimer. Your guides are so good

[@Smarty7752]

That's really clever

[@ionkon]

Thanks Berks. These guides are not only useful for those who start play SC for the first time, but for players who return to SC after a long time.

[@lacedpxrp]

I spent half a hour trying to land at the space station, I was so frustrated till I noticed the number 4 inside painted upside down :]

[@Edricofifrit]

Thanks for this! The only reason I haven't spent more time on this game is due to all the little things I just never felt like spending forever looking up. You've pretty much addressed everything in one video, thank you on behalf of everyone else who jumped right into the game without commenting! You're doing God's work my friend.

[@zeropercentprogress]

One thing to add to this. When you're landing at a bunker make sure to switch to SCM before you land so that your ship has shields while it's unattended while you're doing bunkers.

[@sicecko]

Does the ai attack your unattended ship? Or is this so other PC's don't mess with your ship?

[@beforcial]

@@sicecko Both

[@zeropercentprogress]

@@DynaPirate Just saying don't land in NAV(quantum travel) mode, instead switch master modes back to SCM (guns) so that you're not leaving your ship out in the open with no shields.

[@BurnettGaming]

Single best guide to this game I've ever seen. Every time I come back I feel like I need a new refresher. This one takes the cake.

[@gabzsy4924]

This is such a great video man!

[@theBlacknight013]

Excellent guide! Thank you for the highly detailed, yet easy to follow approach you took.

[@GrimReaper_Ossi]

Nice recap, especially the new key binds for 3.23. Thx Berks!

[@Hulk7110]

Really needed this Berk, brilliant guide!

[@Tarmaccafe]

Haven’t played in a year, so much of this helped me get right back in the groove. Great stuff as always

[@infinitewisdom9619]

Amazing guide, thanks for your hard work!

[@Baeoniq]

Fantastic walkthrough. I've been playing since 2015, and fooled around the latest EPTU, but still I got a ton of tips here. Cheers mate o7

[@Pleykable]

I always recommand your guide to anyone. concise on every subject. And god what a voice.

[@slowshadow2669]

Wow. This is a great starter guide. Very in depth to begin with. Also nice graphics on screen telling you exactly what to do. Great job man.

[@ViniciusConsorte]

Best all-in-one guide ive seen so far, awesome work Berks. 👍

[@pumpakatten]

One of the best guides I have seen for SC. Very helpful indeed. Thank you.

[@MaLcH10R]

Another great video, super helpful.

[@GAExperience]

Really the ultimate guide. Clear! Thanks

[@Sarsour_]

Awesome guide, thank you!!

[@willisselman5769]

Best tutorial I’ve seen for SC feel like a lot to learn but now I fell confident great video!

[@redhawke-6960]

For the algorithm!!!! I know you have been taking a long time on this one congratulations.

[@Captain_Max]

Excellent Guide Captain Berks! So much information to absorb! I need to watch it a few more times and take actual notes! Great presentation 😁👍

[@TonyMoller]

That guide have been a lifesaver for me today Berks, thx!

[@cyborghunter5933]

Berks, this is truly topnotch work. I've been playing the game since 2022 but still found it very useful in prep for the big 3.23 patch. Thanks for putting it together for us. o7

[@CincoMuertez]

You a real one, G. I've been waiting for a video like this for new patch

[@GRGHQ]

Another great SC Guide!! Thanks for making this available to us! -Sentinel

[@Wh1terider]

Great job storytelling Burks, both clear, concise and relevant.

[@tomrogersommerstad4479]

Amazing tutorial! Trying it for the first time this friday. The game looks so good

[@mechwarrior52]

That video was extremely professional! 👍🏾

[@balrogz5093]

Excellent initial tutorial. One of the best I have seen.

[@JB-fy3hj]

Thank you so much, this is the quality content I was looking for as a new player!

[@shizniticus]

Great tutorial Berks. I hope this gets you some more exposure, you deserve it.

[@ericjr16blazer]

Great video asset! I shared it with my friends who might try the game soon.

[@ChefboyRD253]

Great video. Thanks!

[@MseeBMe]

This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

[@R0mster]

Great quick guide! 👏

[@Crumphorn]

Incredibly comprehensive and useful.

[@tazzg4ming140]

You explain everything so clear and easy to follow really enjoyed the content and now I can play star citizen properly and have fun. Thanks!

[@ozkrz4676]

I stopped playing SC for 5months or even more. This video is a very big help to refresh my memory especially with 3.23 with so many new things and noticed some changed input keys. Updating my game right now and so excited to play SC again. Also your voice is 👌. So much effort in 1 video for new players and returning ones.

[@Whiteleon13]

very thankful for this video bro, very good job

[@amirbarjakli3383]

Amazing guide ty!!

[@sYd6point7]

great guide, veterans coming back and newbros alike will appreciate this! great job!

[@citizen_cheeseman]

Lookin forward to this one, cheers mate.

[@TheD3Exile]

best 3.23 new player tutorial, great job!

[@digs_2742]

Im a veteran coming back to the game and there was actually a lot I learned from your video that I wasn’t familiar with. Thank you!

[@mobius6772]

Great video very helpful.

[@themando-smith]

So as an additional info: handmining with the multitool, by pressing „B“ u can change to the collection mode. No manual labor of pressing F or inventory collection. Works just like on the vehicles. Use mouseclick 1 when in collection mode and point the beam at the minerals.

[@mostlygizzards]

Great vid, Berks!

[@darincassell7591]

Damn, well put together!

[@pegasusted2504]

Well done. Thanks.

[@RaikaNishikino]

I love being a space trucker really just relaxs me

[@idn]

Very well done, Berks!

[@mukicare1977]

Great video!

[@Distinctive1]

Great vid you earned yourself a subscriber

[@nickst11]

The quality of this video is superb. Well done sir.

[@thomzin6149]

Fantastic video - this is now the standard to fresh into verse players. bravo.

[@kp2947]

Blown away. Shared vid with friends. Subbed.

[@doncockroft550]

Great video.

[@ACDC-1FAN]

Just got my first PC and I can’t wait to finally try this game out during free fly!

[@agrahazl]

Nicely Done

[@dagiftlajimmy666]

Thank u for that beginners guide it helped me so much ! 👍🏻

[@videogamedude88]

Got a combo deal when I bought my smoothie and 50 capacity freedom spitter together 😎

[@user-uf8lp6ug8z]

i've been a player for years on and off now. but with all the new stuff that has been added this video is really helpful to get back into the game!

[@nethiuz9165]

Never seen your channel, but this is golden and sent to a mate who just bought it.

[@TheOtherSlideYT]

Very well constructed video! I rely on these to catch me back up to speed 😆

[@jausat141]

Great Guide!

[@EricBinek]

That was the best introduction to the game in general. Your video should be the default for any new player. Thanks a lot!

[@osky3301]

Always love this guy tutorials

[@allenyoung3483]

I was waiting for this!

[@IrisCorven]

Just a heads up - you can disable the slowdown when deploying landing gear by going into "Options -> Keybindings > Advanced Keybinds > Flight - Movement", and making a keybind for "Automatic Precision Mode (Toggle)". Tapping that key will disable the speed limit with landing gear on.

[@kevins9406]

Just started the game, this video was amazing and maybe one of the best new player tutorials ive ever seen. This video has no fat and pacing is perfect.

[@RIPzoraun]

One of the best beginner guides out there. Great work dude!👍🏻

[@justincase115]

I haven't played SC in a couple years, this video saved me.

[@kangaroo-jr2up]

i just started playing on free to play, will try using this guide to get started

[@viperswhip]

Thank you.

[@TheDarkLawTV]

This is the only guide I promote!

[@xxyxxyyyx]

Wow! I just started sc 2 days ago and only suffered this video was amazing for me

[@shannonm3841]

wow so much new stuff, cant wait to jump in again

[@rathanndgk]

Such a great guide even as a long time player I learned a few things.

[@MrsEitvis]

nice informal video GJ

[@obsi1]

So respect to all of you who play SZ permanently. I've been following SZ for the last six months and have just bought 3.23. It's absolutely crazy how much is still broken here. Out of 10 missions I can complete maybe 2 without it having serious bugs. I hope SC focuses on polishing the game instead of continuing to introduce new features.

[@Unselfless]

Not quite how game development works unfortunately. You create the bones of the game, and then you polish

[@skoomd4447]

SC won't be polished till they have everything they want in the base game. If they optimized every patch would take 10x longer and slow progress of the game even more than it is

[@olsnapper840]

What a fantastic guide! Very clear, easy to understand, which is super appreciated for a brand new player like me! So, with this patch, you get to keep the ships you previously earned/purchased in game, i.e. its just a money wipe?

[@Sitarow]

Good work on the tutorial.

[@magnitudematrix2653]

In six months, star citizen will blow your space boots off with server meshing. Huge technology discovery. Let's goooo!

[@CaptainBerks]

Thank you so much, this video definitely got a lot of extra love.

[@Samwise_Dibly]

thanks, Berks!

[@DuckSidious]

I like the stealthy placement of the progress bar. It nicely hides the “this is a test environment….” Smart.

[@ERoble360]

what a great job! CIG should get you on board to help the new player team!

[@woollett99]

Wow I’ve got ALOT to learn 😂 playing for the first next week when my pc upgrades arrive!

[@Corey_T]

Excellent guide and I'm sure this will help save a lot of grief for the new players coming in.

[@cashe7536]

The video is here! POG

[@OldManInRecliner]

Good work on the video @CaptainBerks

[@WarpedSpace]

You'll always be Captain Berks to me !

[@Jamie-666]

Superb +10

[@Sylar0n]

A good one mate, just in time for the Free Fly next week.
