Star Citizen | Beginner's Guide To Starting Locations

[@tylernewman6529]

Having started playing 2 weeks ago I had no idea how much different all the planets are. Thank you for another informative video.

[@justincf7127]

Welcome!

[@SpaceTomato]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed :)

[@capt.insano5636]

Truly, your content is just proof to how talented and passionate you are. Always a joy seeing your videos! I hope to bump into you in the verse one day! Thank you for all your hard work, it is noticed and very much appreciated!

[@SpaceTomato]

Thank you! This game aims to offer everything I've wanted from gaming. I'm happy to be able to create videos about it :)

[@avadonis_rahnubis2014]

I am a citizen of New Babbage, I like the convenience that exists there, for now this is where I shall call home. Thank you for your hard work and see you in the Verse.

[@Xondar11223344]

Crusader also has, by far, the best music in the game. I let my brother play my copy of the game and he flew into Crusader's atmosphere, and as soon as Orison was visible the choral part kicked in, and my brother was impressed: "that music is not a coincidence." Yep, they timed it just right. So good.

[@stewartmacy4859]

I have been playing only a year and your perspective is exactly why i enjoy Star Citizen. The game is rich in art, gaming loops, lore, and flight. Tomato shows us these elements and adds his basic to the unique mix - adventure, hope and instruction. The universe is vast and dangerous. Tomato helps to make sense of it all and shows us it’s beauty. Thank you Tomato.

[@Acadea]

Found that one of the best way to sometimes experience SC's planets is to do something diffrent. In my case flying around randomly and then dropping in an Ursa and see where i end up with no need to for a way back. Only forward, to Go Explore!

[@kaantax8666]

i always do the exact same thing lmao my URSA in my MSR has done more than a few thousand KMs

[@Acadea]

@@kaantax8666 managed to accidentally drop it into a cave once....didn't get out of that one xD

[@SpaceTomato]

Just exploring is good fun! Doing box missions is a great way to make it productive!

[@eugeneleroux2513]

I think Arcorp can fix the lack of bunker missions buy using some of the buildings with landing pads as bunker type mission.

[@__soap__]

Port olisar wil always be my favourite

[@AcheliusDecimus]

I can only play in Hurston and enjoy myself based on RP and Lore. Thanks for another great video.

[@Ixarus6713]

Probably gonna call Microtech home to begin with and do some exploration and courier missions, then go to Crusader for mining operations. Might go to Arctech if anything there interests me, honestly I'll have to check out the hubs in game before I can truly make my decision but I am in love with the aesthetic of New Babbage and Orison!

[@sw417]

Ha! my char was in your video or its twin. Excellent video too on scale , distance and travel. This is what, as far as travel is concerened, sets SC apart from ED and it makes a tremendous difference.

[@Voodo0Cat]

It's easy to see a lot of work goes into these vids. And as a newish player, this was the video I needed.

[@SpaceTomato]

Thanks for noticing, I'm glad it helped!

[@TairnKA]

ArcCorp, Crusader and Microtech are located at what seems to be the farthest edges of the Stanton system, but ArcCorp and Microtech look to be the best locations for provisioning a character and ship, with I believe ArcCorp being the better of the two. For the new player the main advantage Hurston has is its central (more or less) location within the Stanton system, but as indicated by S.T., it has its limitations. I chose Crusader/Orison for no good reason than it's location (per Arc Map) to the Pyro jump gate and view, but like Hurston it has limitations.

[@SpaceTomato]

My favorite is definitely Crusader, but it has it's issues, agreed.

[@TairnKA]

Oh, yes, it certainly does.

[@Xondar11223344]

My personal favourite starting zone is ArcCorp for the simple reason that it lets me get my cyberpunk on. I think it has great potential as a huge cyberpunk playground if they develop it right.

[@keisariskorpioni]

New Babbage, microTech is my home. It has the best facilities for ground vehicles, accessible conveniently from the spaceport and the Commons. Hurston also has ground terminals, but just not as convenient to use as in New Babbage, thinking loading vehicles to ships.

[@45Thunderbird]

Would be sweet if QT at somepoint could have an option to be freely piloted instead of exclusively a point to point function.

[@uncannyvalley2350]

They're actively working on this, it's one of the main reasons we don't have orbiting planets yet as they need people to be able to travel to where the planet will be, rather than where it is

[@benhale6773]

The early shot was daymar, great video. I made microtech my home when I started a month ago and have no regrets, except my laptop can't handle the city lol.

[@Cramblit]

The only thing I do wish they'd do, is pull moons in sometimes. It's fine if they're way out there sometimes, but just look at our own moon. It's exponentially closer to Earth than any moon in Star Citizen. Not every moon has to be massive either. CIG could save time and development by making some Moons smaller by half the size as well. Not every moon needs to be exactly the same size. Would be awesome to find some moons far far closer to the home planet, get some really nice spacescape shots going as well as planets and moons that orbit each other in close proximity. I'm sure, or at least hope we'll get this stuff later.

[@ryanmichaelhaley]

I recognized it, Daymar with Crusader in the background. Great video!

[@wiebevdmeij]

Production quality is getting better and better!

[@Arthillis]

I love how well put together your videos are with the video editing and sounds and how the images/videos you use generally fit what your talking about.

[@SpaceTomato]

Thanks!

[@MadBeausuff]

I LOVE Microtech..... Made it my default base as soon as it was added to the options.

[@Stakar0gord]

I enjoyed the video - actually learned things about the planet scale / ship speed that has bothered me... good to have answers :)

[@SpaceTomato]

Happy to help where I can! I'm sure CIG has plenty to say on the topics that i know nothing about, though.

[@evacuatedspace69]

Just wanted to say something. You should challenge Avenger One to battle soemeone with a Prospector, Mole and two different cargo ships against someone else in a fully decked out fighter to see if all his talk and skills can help him win the fight. That'll stop his excuses for defending pirates and grieves and it would be great gameplay.

[@vorpalrobot]

He's done dogfighting in industrial ships many times

[@SpaceTomato]

Lol if you saw how I fly you'd know I shouldn't be challenging anybody!

[@evacuatedspace69]

@@SpaceTomato Actually meant him in a Trading and a Mining ship trying to defend against anybody in a good fighter as a challenge so he can see the reality of what is suggesting i.e defending your Trading or Mining ship against an experienced fighting ship. He might change his tune!

[@JosephK42]

Quality video. My personal choice of late has been Area 18. Good selection of shops there and in orbit, as well as the L1. Keep up the top notch work, and thanks for your talent.

[@SpaceTomato]

Area 18 is a great place to settle in once you know what's going on! Appreciate it :)

[@crispy9175]

I picked Lorville as my starting location before seeing this. Glad i picked a good spot.

[@PikuYost]

After playing for a while, is great to get good background

[@SpaceTomato]

Glad to help!

[@hectorheathcote9495]

I recommend Area 18 as your new home in SC. Of course, I am biased as 18 is my home. You have a Casaba's, Cubby Blast, Dumper's Depot and a starship shop. Most everything you need is here. The starter missions aren't too bad, either.

[@jao6203]

This is a great overview of the Stanton system and explanation of scale.

[@digitalfabric]

This was fantastic. You should create a playlist for overviews of systems and planets and maybe even locations. As new places come out it would be a fantastic reference.

[@SpaceTomato]

That's how I originally started the channel! Would love to get back to it.

[@enrik2184]

Amazing videos, just subscribed. I hope I will start playing star citizen in the near future with a good hotas setup.

[@Erad_Prime]

damn what a video! You put a lot of work in this one!

[@SpaceTomato]

Thanks mate. I know you know!

[@loststarman]

Great system description break-down of the Stanton system

[@sparsh_srivastava.1]

Thanks for info!

[@dennisgoedbloed1287]

Great video. Thanks! Honestly, I think you ought to point out the level of detail CIG puts into ... well.. everything. The E:D community just got another blow from their devs, where their no. 1 issue (texture tiling on planets) has just has been answered NO. I think a lot of possible new citizens are susceptible to the level of attention CIG puts into every single thing... Could use some pronunciation from your side I think ;)

[@SpaceTomato]

That was a problem with SC planets for awhile, I think it took 4 different versions before the planets really reached a more believable level, still a problem at times though! That being said, the detail of this game is something to highlight. I'll get to work on something like that.

[@Zethez]

Great guide for new and returning players. 5 stars.

[@chaadlosan]

Flawless as usual.

[@BOOMBABY2020]

very informative

[@donaldduck7628]

Great round of catsup.

[@mattiber2558]

Do I remember ST that you also fly a Nomad, if you do, please fly and give your voice on how it flies. I was playing a Box delivery and had troubles from leaving the hangar to approaching the pick up site, my ship develops multi engine malfunctions and plummets to the surface : (

[@elliottmedia575]

It’s been cool to see how you developing the Chanel from conception. I Enjoy how you take us on a journey. Thank you 😀

[@kiwd-dynamic]

"Just around the corner" don't really deliver the proper 1+ year expectation for Pyro... but nonetheless, great video on the subject and the additional material on it is something really cool other content creators should at least consider.

[@steveredstone1711]

Arccorp is really good for doing Bunker Missions.

[@SpaceTomato]

It is, ironically. It's just a bummer you need to go to the moons.

[@Cramblit]

@@SpaceTomato Would love bunker missions put into the depths of the Arc Corp city. It honestly could be done relatively easy in even a hack job sort of fashion and still believable. Just copy paste the current bunkers at random spots around Arc Corp. Put a landing pad like we already have, and keep the same elevator in a room through a door at the landing pad.. bam.. You got yourself bunkers in the depths of Arc Corp city.

[@Shawnsrumi]

Really awesome video. Keep up the good work

[@Mgl1206]

Welcome back Tomato!

Amazing work put into this man!

[@tazehiest2790]

hey i believe the link in your description for your infographics is broken. The I being capital after the / in "Infographics" should be lower case to "infographics". That fixed it for me. Love the content :)

A nother great video! do still need to say it! also great video for people to come back and maby get people hypte on the game!

[@SpaceTomato]

Thanks Anno :)

[@blazez4fun]

Would be amazing to be able to build colonies and farming too. Trading goods and produce you farm.

[@jordanheath53]

So if things are scaled instead of 1:1 does that mean increased travel time should be taken into account when writing SC fiction? Or is the implication more that ships in any fiction would be way faster than those in the game and travel times would be the same?

[@SpaceTomato]

To be honest, I don't know. But they've actually had a fiction writing guide for a while that might talk about that.

[@jordanheath53]

@@SpaceTomato Ah bummer, I'll check Spectrum or see if "fiction writing guide" is the phrase my Google Fu was missing. Thanks for the help, dude! You kick ass!! :D

[@sketto1283]

You do this well!

[@Swagata0007]

where is the server location for star citizen ? are there singapore server ? is the game playable in high ping ie 200-250 ?

[@inrevenant]

Isn't the planetary scale in Star Citizen 1/6th of IRL? I recall CR mentioning that ratio at some point... And it makes sense, with the Hurston, ArcCorp, and microTech all having a radius around ~1000km, which would make their radius 1/6th of Earth's

[@Mgtow_Monk]

I think they are bigger than 1000kms radius and Crusader is much bigger than that.

[@bsquaredbundles]

I always thought new Babbage was the easiest lz to navigate and lorville was the worst.

[@doughylittleboi1572]

Going from (Tomato Gaming) to (Tomato Fortnight Gaming) to (Space Tomato Gaming) its a weird world we live in.

[@BulletsNBrass]

Sorry, can't help it. I cracked up at your opening line and had to comment. I mean, we did get it, but the time stamp YT is showing me is "2 years ago" for the video. Anyway, back to watching, I am pretty sure with New Babbage bugged for me I'm doing area 18, but I'm gathering more intel before finalizing that choice.

[@lucasetche]

But the Optimization is something else got a 5800x and a 6900xt and cant play at stable 60 fps on 3440x1440

[@eugeneleroux2513]

Herston for me

[@malachiashley528]

Area18... those shops are too good.

[@SpaceTomato]

That is a great spot for shopping.

[@morinc75]

you forgot mission givers for more unique missions. Hurston has 2, arccorp has 1, microtec and crusader have nothing. also arccorp has the 2nd best gun shop in the game IMO

[@SpaceTomato]

I did point out that ArcCorp has great shops. I've learned through introducing people to the game out is not a good idea to point them to mission givers initially as they aren't as reliable as regular activities.

[@morinc75]

@@SpaceTomato true, also only twitch's missions are more varied. Clovus's simply don't work and Constantine just sends you on bunker missions anyway

[@theempireofthepeople]

wait, but the idea is to make the planets as big as the lore says, right??

[@SpaceTomato]

No they will always remain at this snake from what we know. The in-lore sizes would make the game very large.

It's been like 6 months, since Jaxx flew off in that direction at the end of the ship expo

[@McLoven-vm1ck]

@@anno-fw7xn Aye, Announcing Pyro as the next star system or stating that it's in active development is not the same thing as saying it's "around the corner". I have no issue at all with peeps expressing honest criticism of the process or the developer but I really prefer to see any hyperbole, exaggeration or misinformation left out of it. I believe one should expect around the corner in game development time tables to be months away at minimum anyway. (CIG is also using a quarterly patch schedule)

WHY 1080p?!?! WHERE'D THE 4k GO?!?! 😭😭😭 Is it cuz you're away from home?
