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.

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

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!

[@dug1086]

Same here lol and love his trade route videos as a fellow space trucker

[@TheKPDX]

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.

You were not an idiot, just unknowledgeable.

[@sephiridan5279]

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.

You don't have to worry about this scam.

[@RecklessFables]

If you played Cyberpunk 2077 at launch just picture that, but for years.

[@Xaxxus]

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.

[@Sterkub]

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!

[@TheJeffBob]

Love the honesty about how sometimes you won’t find any loot but keep trying.

[@NovaGrim77]

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

[@15ewolsey]

Oh my gosh, bed logging to get loot is such an awesome plan. Every time I go to one of these i don't ever seem to find anything. Thanks so much!

[@thefirearmfanatic4978]

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.

[@Ph4n_t0m]

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 :)

[@banichi2269]

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. 👍

[@shadowwolf12398]

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

[@Xaxxus]

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.

[@jAkEyDrUmMeR1]

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.

[@StirgeTropia]

Nice work, I love that you make this video over and over because the game is constantly being updated.

[@kaleidopsy3806]

didnt think about server hopping between regions, thanks!

[@martyscott2788]

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!

[@markbooth3066]

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.

[@Key_Smasher]

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.

[@cubixman9676]

Thanks for the guide, will definitely help if I get the game!

[@Xadhoom]

Brand new player here. This is the first really helpful starter vid I've found. Excellent work, man. Thank you.

[@shekotsheka]

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

[@connersafford-y3e]

This needs some updating, the local inventory doesn’t exist anymore

[@hog660]

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

[@henryvaneyk3769]

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.

[@HawkesGaming]

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.

[@Whatsurlimit]

If they have the MR, the bed is a hole in the wall behind the pilot seat

[@Faded_Jester]

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

[@hawkzulu5671]

Drake Cutter is my fave starter ship.

[@TheGoodHeroHunter]

Took a week to get to this point as I was figuring the game out but great video and it helped a ton

[@MyAmazingUsername]

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.

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)

[@3Skulls]

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!

[@crazycar4015]

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.

Hawkes Gaming, your getting started in Star Citizen videos have been an incredible guide for me.

[@NovaGrim77]

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

[@renkou85]

[@MrPersonatus]

You are correct if your method still works because you can only log in again if you are in a designated landing zone and the local stash pocket is no longer there; many missions/deliveries fail due to bugs!

[@Bombastic0013]

What is working well also is the Illegal Monitors Detected missions giving 20k. They are pretty fast to do and work well. You can have bugs or it's hard to find the last ones so sometimes you miss them. But overall, they are great to do. (don't forget call to arms too as there are pirates often too) The trick is to scan a lot and only concentrate on the monitors and ignore enemy ships as you can before the countdown ends.

[@JoeMckeownMedia]

After starting yesterday, losing all my starter money after dying 10x after buying guns and armor, I'm very glad to have found this 😂👍🤦🏻

[@IniresMirrors]

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!

[@coyote-1312]

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.

[@Trexor_]

this is so much different than what i have done on my first day. my friend told me to get some a weapon, med gun, and gave me a space suit.

[@jello_cudgel9213]

Good advice. As for wasting starter money, I’d argue a P4-AR and a few clips is a worthy investment. You can easily make that back selling loot from one successful bunker mission. If you loot everything into the local inventory at lunar/planetary sites, all of it will be in your starting inventory after a wipe. Also Pembroke helmets can be sold for 6K aUec which is awesome.

[@MrThoughts101]

Loved the candid style and honesty about getting lucky.

[@Upchucka]

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.

[@voiddistortion7937]

[@rycarr]

You can hold Shift as you click items to immediately move it to the other inventory window.

[@martin2998]

Never thought to start the game like this. I always buy my starting stuff. Thank you for the vids man

[@FrozenKnight21]

Great early game tutorial for version 3.22.1. Probably should note to avoid geting pirated, I recomend avoiding any white triangles. If they appear in directly ahead, in your quantum jump direction, then make a detour. Also if you do get pirated, I recomend doing a region hop immediately afterwards. As pirates tend to hit the same areas a few times, and your likely to get hit multiple times in a row if you keep trying the same thing in the same place.

[@CaptWinky]

I think the cutter is my favorite starter at this point. It may like the firepower and shields of some of the others but I love being able to carry a small vehicle or all the crap that I clear out of a bunker.

[@Cmoth040]

I have been backing SC since 2012, don't just run through an area and assume nothing has spawned or it has been looted. Very often, there is a delay in loot containers spawning into the various habs at a landing zone. I've developed these habit of conducting whatever legit business I have, loading cargo, e.t.c and then checking for crates. It can take up to two or three minutes. Loot also respawns between long cargo runs, so rechecking every visit, even on the same server can result in more loot.

[@DaKineGuy]

Thank you so much for putting this together, very very helpful. I have one thing to add though. In the hand mining section you mention avoiding all the minerals except hadanite. While following along I ran into a mineral you didn't mention, janalite. So I picked it up and it turned out to be worth much much more than hadanite. 10 units netted me 176.7k aUEC. So as an addendum, when hand mining folks should pick up hadanite and janalite. If you do find some janalite you need to sell it at one of the main cities, seraphim, or Grim Hex though.

[@n00bster68]

You can transfer the gems from the ROC to your Cutty. The ROC has an access hatch on the back. :)
