I Played Star Citizen For The First Time, Star Citizen Gameplay 3.24

[@TheWasd1234]

My god not gonna lie im impressed how well you were able to handle the game with the borked tutorial. Also great job landing and finding ur way through the UI. You should connect with someone in the community to check out the bigger ships! Thats where the game starts being easier to handle.

[@StephLyonTV]

I like problem solving so I really wanted to embrace the challenge once the tutorial broke and the game is really good at giving pointers if you look at the signs, almost nothing is out there for no reason which is really nice and immersive, I’ve rented a few medium ships like the cutlass black and I find em really hard to fly still getting use to it, saving up for a bigger ship tho, still early into the figuring it out 🤔

Are not assigned to players and once you get out is like checking out. Right now only the Hangar in the planet where you did spawn for the first time is owned by you. You can place anything there and the premise is it will stay there. The other Hangars are random and public.

[@AcheliusDecimus]

You impressed me, dude. You're a true gamer. You logically figured out how to use the in-game diegetic experience to play. Well done!! You nailed why we love SC, it is truly immersive. Just remember you can interact with your ship ladder, everything on your ship with F, and also every item you hold. Holding down the left click will activate the use or put down the item too depending on the type of item. Otherwise looking at it and using F is the safe way.

[@Billy-bc8pk]

For a first timer, you did EXTREMELY well. A lot of people are not able to figure things out the way you did, and it takes them multiple tries just to do simple things like leave the atmosphere or land at another hangar. This was pretty impressive to watch, since I didn't finally figure out how to fly correctly out of the hangar without crashing until maybe two weeks after starting.

I guess it really makes the game unique. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and i'm glad you didn't get too frustrated or give up.

When you started comparing Area18 to Orison I bursted out laughing 😂 😂 The "I'm gonna crash!" reaction to exiting the Quantum was also hilarious (I have not seen it that way for a long time but that's the most rational reaction to seeing it the first time, when you think about it 😅) Keep up the good work and fun! Cheers!

Nailed a delivery mission, a bunker mission and a looting run in your first play through, nice one man!

[@DamonCzanik]

Welcome to the 'verse! Glad you got things figured out. You did SO WELL! Especially without the tutorial! This game has an insane difficulty curve. Some tips: 1. Mouse wheel up and down to control your aircraft speed, or if you're on foot, your character's walking speed. 2. ALT+C is cruise control. Leave that alone until you learn to fly. You were not pulled in. You set a top speed, set cruise control and pointed your ship at the space station. It happens even to me, lol. 3. Try requesting your ship while in your hangar instead at the terminal. It's kinda cool to see. 4. No player bases yet. It's coming by SC (not alpha) 1.0 though. 5. GOOD JOB setting your re-spawn point. First thing veterans do is fly to the closest orbital station, and set their spawn point for the station. It's just quicker than flying off planet. 6. Next week is IAE. You can fly every flyable ship that week. Each day is a new manufacturer and you can rent the ship for a day. Also makes for easy content. People want to see your reaction to these ships. 7. Look around and explore the landing sites. There's loot containers. You can get weapons, armor, undersuits, food, etc. 8. If you randomly kill people you can get a crime stat and go to prison. But you can loot their bodies. Your choice. 9. The bigger the rewards, the higher the risk. 10. The numbers you see on your HUD on a planet is your angle from the horizon. So, 90 is straight up. 0 is completely level. You want to have it at 0 when landing. Meaning you're parallel with the ground. 11. You need to visit New Babbage (on the planet Microtech), Grim Hex (pirate base around Crusader's moon Yela), and Loreville on the planet Hurston. Also check out a sunset on each planet. 12. Orison is a flying city on a gas giant. Star Citizen's cloud city. It's nice, but you need a good graphics card. ArcCorp is an entire city planet (like Coruscant from Star Wars). It's just more industrial. 13. The crap left on floors is from players. 14. Learn the button to request landing and take off. You can also contact landing services with the MFD 15. You can blend character's faces in the character creator. Try it! There's also a sculpt mode, where it automatically blends the different shapes of the faces. 16. You'll want a good CPU and 32 MB RAM. 17. So glad you understand the slow burn of this game. The immersion is the best. 18. If you want to get into a ship, just ask them. Ask in chat if somebody will let you tour their 890 Jump or Polaris. Trust me. 19. The package floated inside the station. Not sure why you'd drop off a package at an abandoned space station. But this one appears to not be a bug. At least from tge video. 20. Some of your issues is due to bad server performance. 4.0 (the next update, scheduled to release next month) should help with that.

[@bsquaredbundles]

Dude you figured so much stuff out by the end of the video I had to delete all the advice and tips I wrote up in comments for you while watching it.

Welcome to the verse, it’s in a rough patch right now but earlier this year it was some of the smoothest it’s ever been. Don’t get discouraged, lots of people are willing to help. All you need in the basic ship everything else can be earned in game. Welcome to the verse o7. Very impressed by what you were able to accomplish in your first play through considering the tutorial got screwed.

[@BalokLives]

Great job, and welcome! I am a backer from the beginning. I'm glad you are enjoying yourself. That first issue where you crashed into the station, was because you activated cruise control. That is there for people using certain peripherals like M&K, or HOSAS. In other words, if you don't have a throttle and you don't want to hold the throttle on. When you activate it, it will set the throttle to the agreed upon setting and it will stay on until you turn it off. It's basically a throttle toggle. You didn't turn it off, so you continued forward and hit the station. Turn it off again by using I think it's "C", or "ALT +C". The Aurora is one of the first ships to be built if not "The" first and it needs some work. It's one of a few ships that actually have stairs, and they barely work, because the ship is too short. So, I would just use the animation. To enter a ship hold "F" and choose "Enter Ship". Performance wise, the game needs memory and an SSD most. Currently you need at least 32GB of memory to play smoothly. You also need an SSD to load all the data as fast as possible. If you don't have either of those, I would seriously consider an upgrade to improve your experience.

[@StephLyonTV]

Ah yeah I did have it on I just thought i stopped going forward 🤣🤣 I didn’t know I could enter with F I thought it only opened the door 🤯🤔 I’ve got 64GB ram and running off a 2TB SSD, I realized some parts of the video look REALLY laggy but the lowest fps I had was 26, on my screen when I was playing it was actually the camera lagging and my game was fine but in editing after the recording encoded my camera was fine but the game looked like it was lagging, very weird 🤣🤣

[@BalokLives]

@@StephLyonTV I didn't see it either, but it's supposed to be there on every ship. Try looking around. I'll pull my Aurora LN out to see. There's also an option to set other commands like enter to default so you can just 'tap' "F". Other than that, it sounds like you're all good.

[@YouCountSheep]

Watching your first 30 minutes of the video I know where you cut it and I also know why. But then later when you said you played it for a day straight I also saw that you learned alot of things you didn't know. Here are a few tips that will prevent heartache maybe later in your journey: #1 I see that you have cruise control on alot. Make sure its OFF when you approach any landing or you might increase speed by accident and your ship will just ram into a wall without you pressing any buttons #2 When landing somewhere with gravity, moons, planet pad, always hit i to turn the engines off. This applies to flying in coupled mode. Reason being, if you don't and you bump your ship lets say with a box and your tractor beam you could hit it hard enough to lift off, and due to it being coupled it will simply stay in the air. Thats why you turn engines off in gravity. In space you want to keep them on for the same reason, but so that your ship stops drifting or spinning faster in case something hits you #3 When you eventually figure out how to log out in a ship, do NOT log out on a planet/moon as you can glitch through the surface when loading in, and thats a deathsentence unless you quickly log out with the menu. Same applies when randomly falling through the world, DON'T HESITATE, just esc and exit to menu. #4 Sometimes it can happen that something gets stuck in your hand. Simply draw a tool or gun, that usually fixes that. Same when your view gets stuck and you cannot turn and only strafe #5 When your arms have a tier 1 injury you will be severely limited from alot of actions, even holding a gun or tool and worst of all, properly fly your ship. So always have a med tool with you when doing fps stuff. If you have an injury you can hold F on the tool switch it to Auto and then auto again in its tiny UI in the bottom right, it will configure the drugs automatically and buff you, even with a T1 injury for about 5 minutes. You only need the medtool and for quick emergencies the medpens #6 There are red pens that are called deconpens or something, they look very similar to the medpens, be careful not to equip those, I think that happened to you in the bunker where you thought it didn't do anything, that was the wrong pen #6 There might be a patch soon which will fix the defenses of bunkers. The way you did them now is a bug, normally you cannot land this close. Those turrets will rip you to shreds if thats fixed. Unless you have a powerful ship and know what you are doing. And for that as a tip, the aurora is small, usually you can use the terrain as a cover so those turrets that don't work right now wont be able to shoot your ship. Not really a tip but general advice, SC is very CPU hungry, especially with recording running. DLSS helps and with an nvidia card you can probably record with the shadowplay encoder. But yeah. Very CPU hungry. And to the tutorial I can just say, there is more people out there who abandoned it than people who were able to complete it without bugs. Missions not updating is very common, and you will encounter more bugs along the way. I can just imagine what it must feel like starting out, it looks like you have fun. Don't let yourself be influenced by either negativity or infectious hype. SC is very polarizing, but it is alot healthier to keep a middle ground to keep your sanity if you get addicted

[@Qwarzz]

You should always be able to land near a bunker that is still in friendly hands as long as you have a contract there. So defend contracts should work like this, as long as you don't overstay after the contract is done. This doesn't mean all bunkers will be safe to approach, nine tails will shoot you down of course.

if you really like the game, the number 1 thing I would suggest you do is upgrade your starter ship to the Avenger Titan, it is by far the best and most versatile starter ship and will give you the most options to try as many game loops as you can with a starter ship. its a fast little ship, a good fighter once you upgrade the weapons, a large cargo area, a bed, all in one small package.

Welcome to SC, always fun watching someone experience it for the first time! You've probably already heard but the patches and servers have been a mess since citizencon, probably contributing to the bugs and performance issues you were experiencing. But the game also has some unusual hardware requirements to get the most performance in the game right now, and I feel like your performance could be smoother with that 4060. In graphics settings, do you use DirectX or Vulkan? Vulkan is much smoother for me (also on a 4000 series gpu). And I'm assuming you have it installed on an SSD? It's barely playable on a HDD. I would also recommend 64gb of memory if you're running 32gb or below. Game will gladly hog 40gb+. After that, if you want to go further with getting more frames, upgrading the Ryzen 5 5500 to a 5800X3D would probably be the next cheapest way. The 5800X3D fits in the same socket as the 5500 (AM4 socket), and Star Citizen looooves the added cache on the X3D chips

[@StephLyonTV]

Thank you 🔥 yeah it was pretty fun I can’t lie and I’m a picky gamer 🤣🤣 Everyone’s telling me the patch is botched but so far it’s like only “silly” bugs I’m running into and some stuff not working like they should half the time which is actually easy to overlook for now as I’m still in the WOW THIS IS GREAT stage 🤣🤣 Ok right I’m running directx 11 I believe, I put it into vulkan briefly and it looked a lil bit more bitty so I changed back 🤔 I’m playing it from my game disk which is a 2TB silicone power SSD and running 64GB ram vengeance, I was looking at the 5800 as an upgrade in the future anyways but the X3D may be the route if I start taking Star Citizen seriously and want to make more content, I just have to make sure I have the headroom on my PSU 🤔

[@weyderwarr]

​@@StephLyonTV It's all fun and silly bugs until the game detects you're having too much fun and decides to blow up your ship full of the cargo you spent all your money on 🤣 There's a lot of cool stuff in the game right now, but some really important tech and systems needed to tie it all together are on the roadmap for 4.0 and next year so its worth sticking around or coming back to check it out later in the future after you get past the "WOW THIS IS GREAT" stage haha And that's strange, Vulkan always worked much better for me. Vulkan lets the game use more cores and generally that means better performance, but I've heard it can result in higher VRAM usage on your GPU, so it could be that the 4060's 6gb is being pushed to its limits in some areas of the game. Will keep an eye out for part 2 in the series, and hope to see you around for the 4.0 launch!

just got the game myself too after seeing that Squadron42 video and watching some of my online friends play a bit in discord. granted I have wasted hours on delivery contracts bugging out but its been interesting and fun. but I got to do some bounties in the bigger ships with my friends starting out so it was more fun than the average person starting alone I suppose but I need to play alone to learn the game as well.

[@XanderxavierD]

right at the end that station, the window in front of you had no glass and was a point of entry to station ur parcel flew into the window and went inside station xd, still good job figuring stuff out sc can be harsh to new players, there are vehicle shops at some locs as well as the easier to encounter rental terminals where you can buy ships, though 4.0 coming soon so they be doing full progress wipe for all when it does so no point grindin for anything expensive atm, but before that last full wipe was 2 years ago, but been a few partials.

[@IIITangentIII]

I love that you started playing Star Citizen with an open mind after being a hater. I was exactly the same way. Probably worse. I was an elite dangerous player and kept talking bad about Star Citizen because it seemed like a scam and a joke. Eventually someone who I trusted that had played it told me there was really something there. There was an actual game and you could fly your ship and walk through your ship which you could still not do in elite dangerous. After The elite dangerous developers said they were no longer going to make ship interiors a thing I decided to give star citizen a chance. I was blown away by the level of immersion in the game. Yes the game is full of bugs. Yes it can be irritating at times. Yes there needs to be more content and progression, but that all being said there is so much to the game already. It is beautiful. It's insanely immersive. Even the bugs have given me so much more content than I could have ever expected. My friends and I have had an incredible time flying in each other's ships and using turrets like the millennium falcon. Bounty hunting, anti-terrorist combat, bunker missions, stealing AI ships or even abandoned players ships, cargo missions... Always finding ways to do things in the game and work around the bugs. I love the game. I take breaks because I feel like you should take breaks from it every now and then, but I always come back and I always believe in this game and the developers. They are making something special regardless of what haters say. I was a hater but I gave it a chance and I get it now. I'm glad you seemed to have a good time.

[@StephLyonTV]

Yeah the game is crazy immersive, the world is huge and the bugs are actually an added bit of difficulty which makes me take my time and be careful. I think I was worried that it was just going to be a mess of a game when I was younger and honestly till this day I’m still hearing it’s a scam but thinking of all the games I’ve purchased over the years the entry price and amount of content I’ve gotten in just under two weeks is more than a bunch of 60$ AAA games I’ve bought so how is it a SCAM ?

@@StephLyonTV as someone, whos been playing the game since 2014, i have some tips to help you with money and get on your feet! i suggest renting a cutty black, do some cargo hauling missions. buy a pyro multi tool from a station cargo bay with a tractor beam so you dont gotta move boxes physically! and cargo runs pay decent so have fun!

[@sketchtherapy1218]

This is Space Theft Auto you can steal anything but it wont remain in your hanger if you store it because it's not yours when you claim it its not registered you your name. I have over 30 ships but i only paid cash for one the rest i bought in game.

[@Prophitman8]

Pressing C will turn on and off "coupled" mode. When Coupled mode is on Left Alt + C will turn Cruise control on and off. It is why your ship kept moving when you stopped pressing the keyboard when you died at the space station. Good luck in the Verse!!! o7

[@uliseto]

Damn you got the hang of it pretty good and fast I'd say, btw renting ships for 3 days instead of 1 is cheaper, I'd recommend the Avenger Titan it's good for low and mid-level space combat and cargo running

[@StephLyonTV]

I think my brain was on for this playthrough 🤣🤣 Ooooh ok, I’ve used the titan 🤔 I’ll rent for 3 days instead I just have a problem, I can’t do things until I’ve made the amount I’m about to spend that day, so if it costs 100K I need to make 100K that day before I can spend so I keep saving for a bigger ship down the line 🥲

[@indie1138]

@@StephLyonTV Ask in chat to work crew, there's cargo, salvage and mining. you can learn the ropes and earn so good money that way. Another thing, if you have the time when you get injured or stuck set a beacon for help and someone might come help (it's about 50/50 if anyone is paying attention) or ask in chat. helping or getting help from another player is pretty cool...

[@TheMNWolf]

I had the audio on in the background while I was driving to the grocery store and I love how I could just tell that you had an aurora based on your description ROFL. That sign that you saw when you got in your seat that showed zero guns, that is referring to weapon group zero which fires all guns across all other weapon groups, and it is your default firing group. And let's be honest. You bought this game for 50 bucks, they gave you that ship for free 😜

[@GrimGatsby]

I'm sure you're getting plenty advice but I've been a backer since 2016 and I play pretty regularly so if you have any questions, lemme know. good video!

That bed in the ship you stole heals you and makes it so you spawn on the bed in that ship its a little medical ship. There also water and food in the cabinets sometimes med pens too.

[@StephLyonTV]

Wait so if I take it to a mission get an enemy body with a spare suit onto it and I set it as my spawn, if I die I come back outside in the ship again and can just use the spare suit to go back in?

[@JoshDoubleU]

not that it is necessary as you can earn all ships in game, but for 4.0 if you were looking to upgrade your pledge ship,. a cutlass black would bbe the perfect option to go to from a starter, they dont cost too much and is a sick ship for the price with room for cargo and ann actual interior.

[@Kinovski1]

last mission was ok. You just trow the box in space and you have mark on it and was in front of you. You just miss to take it. But good job. You need to find a group to play and see big ship. Aurora is the better option vs Mustang. Best starting ship is Avenger stalker.

[@Qwarzz]

I do hope they manage to fix the server lag at some point. Stuff not happening as it should does cause some confusion with new players :) Pretty nice you accidentally entered Aaron halo asteroid belt! There are no indications in game where it is. The performance hopefully gets better in the future as well. Currenly too many things are done in the main thread and unless you have very good single thread performance, everything else will be waiting for it.

[@evemaniac]

You can upgrade your starter ship and any other ship you brought in RL for a couple bucks as long as they are availiable at the point in time. The best starter ship is the avenger titan, it can fight it can cargo and its fast too. Dont waste your hard earned AUEC on a Mustang. And you should have 32gb of ram and allways run SC from a SSD-drive.

[@StephLyonTV]

Yeah I just refunded my aurora and tried the mustang then after a while just yesterday I refunded again and upgraded to the titan, should do for now till I can afford a cutlass black. I have 64GB ram and running from a silicone power 2TB SSD 🥲🥲

[@evemaniac]

@StephLyonTV wait for IAE, one of the special events when CIG does special sells , those come as 'IAE-starter packs' with a reduced price and 120month of insurance. This year they teased a new startership from Crussader one of my favorites because of their futuristic design and high-grade ship components. Brandnew ships usually come with LTI (lifetime insurance) on their initial release. You should watch citizen con day 1 and 2 ASAP...there they showed us the future of SC and SQ42

[@IssaSouriant]

​​@@StephLyonTV Its quite easy to make money to buy ships in game. Even if it may be hard at the beginning, you can check some tutorials on how to make money there's plenty on yt. You should consider that buying ships with real money is only a way to donate to the project but i'd be able to buy an avenger titan in game after playing something like 10 hours (if i'm unlucky). I'm saying that because its an incredible game, but its too easy being tempted to pledge ships because of the heavy marketing, while it's not even hard to have ships for free. There's plenty of guys in my org that don't even play the game but spend a ton of cash in it...
