[@SpaceTomato]

Clarification: Real money urchased ships are NEVER reset, only ships purchased in-game during the alpha. The messaging may have been confusing in the video. Sorry!

[@ChicoAzevedo]

So i have to pay ONCE. And after the game launches? I have to buy again?

[@OMNICHROMATICA]

Why is it so choppy?

[@Shindignick]

@@ChicoAzevedo Once you buy a package, it's there...forever...through patches...through release, and most importantly - always after you blow it up.

[@JustJanitor]

What about weapons. I've heard there are weapons and stuff you buy with real money that are lost on death?

[@wolfstorm5394]

Hey am I the only one having this issue where when I put on the helmet my HUD icons are not properly within frame? For example about half of the tutorial stuff to the right corner is off screen, I tried adjust field of view but no luck

[@mrsmith397]

Small correction. When you talk about buying ships with real money, you then immediately talk about wipes resetting things and the player needing to rebuy ships. It's very important that new players know that ships bought with real money are NEVER wiped. It's only ships bought with in game currency that are wiped.

[@JitanEDM]

This needs to be pinned

[@Monkeybearr]

I was confused by this, thank you for clarifying.

[@dapro2524]

Well that's just horrible ...

[@SpaceTomato]

I'll make sure to clarify that, I must have missed it in review. Thanks

[@akrington1]

Does your currency get wiped or can I just repurchase the ships. I've just started my first day today and enjoying my time. I could see myself buying ships in future but will be using ingame currency until I am fully committed to the game.

[@chrisbensonpdx]

Great to get a new updated beginner's guide. One correction- the radial menu (PIT) now requires f+left&right mouse buttons by default, not just f+right mouse like in the past.

[@SpaceTomato]

Yes I meant to update that part of the script but missed it, also meant to put text on the screen but might have missed that too !

[@RoroYaKnow]

I noticed that last night, thinking they did away with the wheel.

[@LuckyForr]

This is a fantastic compilation from so many aspects of the game! That was a lot of ground to cover and I think you did a wonderful job, that looked like a ton of work!

[@SpaceTomato]

Thank you! I hope it helps!

[@diegopc1357]

Ever since Citizencon so many people have been on the servers that it’s caused them to be spotty at best. We need 3.22 and 3.23 asap!

[@dallasscandling6329]

But the servers are capped at 100 and they’re always full with or without citizencon???? Does citizencon raise the server cap in your book???

[@diegopc1357]

@@dallasscandling6329 what? That’s you assuming everyone plays when you play. I work afternoon shifts so I tend to play at 2 am and I can assure you the servers weren’t full to the brim every time. Sometimes it was like 40 - 50 at most. Now it’s full 100 percent of the time. People consistently leaving water bottles and crap laying around. Think about what that does to a server?

[@MrIcomsic]

Thank you for this video! I started to get into star citizen back in the summer and only played a few days here and there. I going to get back into it soon but forgot so much stuff about the game. This is perfect! Love watching the pods on Space Tomato 2!

Great video, I recommend people rebind the interaction mode (default F) to one of the thumb buttons if your mouse has it, it’s a lot more efficient imo

[@etholus1000]

Good idea, I’ll do that tonight. Btw is it normal for the game to freeze allot in your first 10 minutes? It smooths out but every new launch is a lag fest

Well done for a modern guide of how to get into the Alpha game which is in development ongoing. I’m an original founder of the game since 2011. But I don’t keep up with development nor actually playing the Alpha. I station messed around a few years ago, but I’ve forgotten all that. So even I need a guide to know what the Key binds are and all that.

Nice tutorial here! I wish we had something like this years and years ago. I didn't realize you get a Pisces by doing the in game tutorial though. That's a really nice add they did.

[@SpaceTomato]

Yeah the tutorial is a great addition, though still a bit broken!

[@historyman9436]

Sadly you dont own the pisces, just get to fly it to beljini. Wouldve been good to have the pisces for the box delivery missions, aurora and delivery missions are a PAIN

[@SpaceTomato]

It is a fantastic community.

[@KamiCorp2953]

Perfect for new people!

[@Just_A_Spork]

As a new player, the thing I noticed about star citizen is that the community is pretty awesome. There’s not much toxic arguments online as far as I know, and I got stranded on a planet earlier today and needed someone to help me bring my stuff home. Multiple people offered and the person that helped me didn’t ask for payment or anything like that.

[@SpaceTomato]

The community can be amazing! There are always some less friendly folks but SC is a good crowd.

[@willwilco]

I watched your videos in the past when I was playing Star Citizen and enjoyed them then as well. I am just coming back after a couple years and was trying the tutorial, but could not figure out how to leave the starting station in the tutorial. I saw no opening and it does not tell you to contact departure like I remember from the game before. I will try your beginners guide here to see if that will help. Thank you for your content.

Just be mindful that there is a really annoying bug in lorville where your character will walk slowly as if they are encountering strong wind, making walking around obnoxious, which can be frustrating since you will die a lot at the start and be respawning back at Lorville.

Its great and even if some people think its bad to lose the ships that you buy in game after the alfa but i think it makes the game a lil harder and it will still be fun I just wish that in the future that they add the abillity to be a mechanic i know its sounds weird but i would enjoy it

[@CptCarbon]

17:37 you bring a box with your tractor beam and loot stuff inside the box. Where is this box coming from? Like a external inventory box? That's nice I need this!

I call it "A/STC" (Air/Space Traffic Control), for accuracy. ;-) A "Spacer" expression; "Aim for the stars, for safeties sake". this is best remembered, when approaching a space station or another ship. ;-) I've found and accidently bought items, but have been unable to sell them (maybe GrimHex?). ;-D

[@Spidder81]

Nice introduction video. Man I am seriously amped to see what the next 12 months bring after watching all the CitCon, even if they only get 50% of what they showed at CitCon i will be over the moon. The only issue is as much as I love SC myself (been playing since 2014) Its hard to recommend the game in its current state with the amount of game breaking bugs and 30Ks, we need those updates man and sooner rather than later (I know its "Alpha" but still....they really need to treat it like a live game for the PU). Especially more so to keep new players. I am still seeing new players in the ingame chat getting very frustrated with SC in its current state and its breaking issues, which makes me sad as I want new players to play and have a good time. After watching the CitCon I am finding hard to play it myself in its curreent state now, knowing the updates that are coming.

[@MyAmazingUsername]

Thanks for these words. I've decided to wait a year before trying SC. That should be a good time for all the new tech.

[@Spidder81]

​@@MyAmazingUsername unless you are willing to put up with the issues, testing, feedback etc I would probably wait another 6-12 months. Although as of typing the game is actually running better lately, there is still a plethora of bugs and issues that can be off putting to new players

[@MyAmazingUsername]

@@Spidder81 Yeah I actually ran the game for 2 hours today. The immersion was mindblowing. Traveling from my apartment to the spaceport via train, stopping at a shop to get cookies and water, going to the hangar my ship was at, learning about warp drive and flight. Experiencing the (pretty great) flight controls. Then crashing into the space station and having to redo the tutorial. Ugh. Then I walked on top of a tomato bottle someone had dropped on the floor of the train and it made me glitch and spin around. I tried to pick it up and struggled with the inventory system and the tedious way of picking up items with the non-responsive GUI (F and then hover over pick up, which doesn't always activate). I then took a mercenary mission and flew to a planet and promptly got blown up by the air defense. Meanwhile, someone wrote in chat that their 1.7 million cargo exploded due to a glitch in hangar. In conclusion, the game is janky and glitchy but somewhat playable. The vision is grand. I look forward to seeing it when it's more complete.

[@redspectrenine9632]

Good tutorial but I have some critiques. - Navigating to ship starter packs (or game packages) on the Roberts Space Industries website is super confusing to newcomers (terrible UX on that website), showing how people can navigate there from the homepage can be helpful. - Backpack size is determined by armor type, when you suggested backpacks that info was missing. When I first played this mechanic confused me, it would be good to clarify that. - You suggest the Aurora but the first ship you jump into is a Pisces. The pilot HUD when first entering a ship can be overwhelming and showing pilot view of the ship you recommended would be ideal. (EDIT: From SpaceTomato's comment below, the tutorial in Area 18 you are given a given a different ship from what you purchase, maybe point to which ship that is in the website pledge store in the beginning)

[@SpaceTomato]

Thanks for the feedback! I suggest the Aurora, but also suggest the tutorial. You cannot access your Aurora until after the tutorial so this might confuse players.

I can confirm that box delivery missions are very dangerous- On my first mission, my drake cutter crashed due to laser fire from the ground and I froze to death after not finding the package...

[@alexnder8401]

you'd better go with Cutter starter pack. It costs the same as Aurora but better due to current discount.

[@DomBogey94]

What do you mean if there is server wipe expect to get all these ships again? Is that only the ones you earn in game with current currency system? So if I use real world money to buy caterpillar for example, if they wipe servers I lose that ship? Or that is safe since I used real world money to purchase is vs in game?

[@AMDACER1]

Real money ships won't get wiped, anything you buy with game currency is gone after a wipe. Also, even if you have a real money ship, if it is not insured or you don't renew the policy, can be lost for good if it gets destroyed.

Potentially odd question: I currently play FPS with half of a keyboard (essentially the left half of a keyboard without an F row). Are there a ton of keys needed for this game, or do you think I should be able to comfortably remap everything into my limited space? I am definitely interested in checking this out. Starfield was like an appetizer, this seems like it could be the entrée and dessert.

[@wertacus]

You may want more keyboard unless you really love remapping keys. There's a lot of keybinds but you could probably get all the ones you need on what you have. You may also need to ask how to do something in game and get advice that doesn't help given your key changes.

[@AdamHillikerLikesRobots]

@@wertacus this is helpful, thank you!! I'll dig out a full size :)

If you use a HOTAS or HOSAS setup, you can get away with a limited keyboard. Otherwise I'd at least want a TKL, I personally use a full size keyboard.

I have been contemplating Star Citizen, I love space sim games, I am playing Elite Dangerous at the moment, sure it has its flaws like any other game but feel it has more to do and systems you can put your name on 400 billion systems to travel too. Star Citizen looks like they want to focus on enviroment, it looks amazing, I know they focus on more but I feel with Elite, sure it basic but I don't mind basic, SC having to reset after a update.... no thanks. I might in the future, but Elite, I am happy with it, they may add more features like SC but I am happy to wait.

Don't lie bro, everyone needs a carrack day one. Just kidding love the channel.(I have a polaris, a Galaxy and a zeus mr).

[@graphite7473]

I thought it was weird to call leaving your landing gear down 'derp', given that when flying in atmosphere keeping the gear down and flying decoupled activates a hidden flight mode that automatically cancels just the pull of gravity on your ship. Essentially coupled along the vertical axis, decoupled along the horizontal axis, relative to the ground. Literally the most useful flight mode in atmosphere. Doing this keeps your forward vector chevron rock steady, and you only have to manage drag from the atmosphere with periodic bursts of forward thrust.

[@graphite7473]

Certain large ships like the Reclaimer or Carrack need VTOL on as well to fully cancel gravity on high gravity worlds.

[@12wolf68]

One thing that I think is essential people should be informed of in beginning tutorials is key binds and best settings ( for most). Especially what may be best thing to bind or change ( throttle inversion..cough)! What is the difference between abs vs rel? Seriously…what is the difference? Also, where trine those things.

[@ernestm8884]

I'm new to this so you said if there is a WIPE and update do you have to buy the ships again?? Do they just give you the funds back ot are the ships just gone poof?? thanks

[@Kingdomkey123678]

If there is a wipe you are back at square 1. No I game money, no ships, no equipment. You only keep what you paid real money for between wipes This happens because of the fact it’s an alpha, backend tech is changing all the time and exploits for infinite money are periodically discovered and patched out of the game Once the game is no longer in Alpha this will stop happening, you don’t really play SC for progression for now. Though ti be fair wipes are fairly infrequent we have gone a couple years between them before

[@MikePhilbin1966]

All elevators should be WONKA-VATOR i.e. made of glass... so that JJ Abrams glorious elevator travel through ship/world is possible. But that would have to have been designed in at the very early stage, not wedged in way too late like all the changes to ships that'll be needed when Engineering comes in. Or when Chris Roberts finally decides that Planets are Not Awesome Enough at 10% scale. Which he probably will at some point.

I tried the mercenary security mission.... but its hard af... Like how do I do it ? Yes, I did go with a pistol, but still... how.... also, how do I see who is enemy or ally ?.... I will do some deliveries till I have like 70k and then buy some more gear and do it again with better gear... i guess...

The bunker advice from a friend of mine is get a silenced gun and a loud pistol. Sit at the entrance, fire the pistol once into the floor, so you can't accidently shoot a guard. Then hide behind the boxes and wait for the enemy to come investigate the sound. Light them up with the silenced rifle until you stop getting people to come to you. Usually happens around 5ish left. Then you slowly sneak around killing the bad guys. If the server fps is low enough I'll do them with a knife for the instant silent kills. As to enemy or ally usually the IFF will turn on all guards will have a little upside down pyramid over them, but if you're worried about it move to microtech. All microtech guards wear only white, so it's easy to spot the difference, at least until a boss nine tails rolls out.

I just bought the game over the weekend and I can only be in 1 area. I think it’s Area 18 or something. I don’t have the option to choose any other starting location.

Maybe because you're doing tutorial?

[@jadewagner8506]

@@latjolajban81 that is correct. But I have finished it.

@@jadewagner8506 Ok. Well you only choose your home location once after a wipe. Once it's set you can't really change it. So next time there's a wipe or a big update don't choose tutorial and you can pick whichever starting point you want. It's no big deal really since you can just move your stuff to wherever you want anyway and set your spawn point there.
