Star Conflict in 2022 [Basic intro for beginners]

This video was meant as an intro to Star Conflict from my own subjective viewpoint, it contains, what I believe, every single thing that you really need to know in order to play the game at a decent beginner level.
Although many seasoned players will probably disagree with me on a few points, it is what it is and I will highlight any comment that might aid the notion of understanding the game a bit better.
For the new players out there and those that might be interested in this relic of a game, I hope this serves as some kind of a skeleton for you to flesh out whilst playing.
FAQ:
The free roam is not like EVE.
The sectors/maps are not like Elite dangerous, it's a sphere with things in it.
There is actually up and down in this game, don't be disoriented.
There is no character/avatar building menu.
The game is still alive.
No, it won't die soon™.
The playerbase was always small.
You can buy anything but the knowledge of how to play better.
Buying things wont make you a better player.
As long as you participate in a event, you can get the latest content for free.
You can have everything for free if you want to grind it.
DLC's cant be had for free, only $$$.
Although DLC's are expensive, you ain't missing out on anything.
~10 years existence = ~10 years of content = a lot of stuff to grind for.
If you are a completionist, run away, don't look back. I'm not joking. Or am I?
It's not a simulator.
There is no VR support nor gamepad support.

Just starting playing again forgot how peaceful yet intense this game is

[@ORCA1911]

It's alright i guess

[@RennieAsh]

It's very peaceful now I guess, only a few players remaining !

[@lucasjones5397]

I just got instant Battlestar Galactica online vibez. Thank you brother will definitely be checking this out.

[@ORCA1911]

Have fun, it will be a bit of a different experience than BG tho.

[@kunamuta3571]

i seriously don't understand why these kind of videos are not promoted by the official channel/webpage. as if they don't want people to learn anything from the game and quit playing. thnx for the info brother

[@ORCA1911]

I was low key the sole english PR guy, i was fired, so there might be your answer lol

[@Gloverfield]

This game deserves better...

[@ORCA1911]

Oh well...

[@BeastTheNinja]

wow just found this game on steam so i had to check here and i found yours and it made me wanna try it out, as it kind of have what i like from World of tanks/warships

[@ORCA1911]

Hey, im glad you like :)

[@PapyMcBites]

This is very well explained 👌

[@ORCA1911]

Aww thanks papychulo :D

[@sentinelprime415]

thanks guide

[@starithm]

Wish I played this game earlier. This game is awesome.

[@ORCA1911]

Yeah, it was good.

[@LaMusiqueetlabeat]

I love the background ant detail at 9:38. Looks epic. It makes me want to explore the world of Star Conflict. But is it worth compared to something like Elite:Dangerous? I think it's the third time I'm hovering SC on Steam and watching a video on it, but haven't installed it yet.

[@ORCA1911]

Its a free game, it cant hurt to try it.

[@goku546686]

Not much open world like... mainly missions n pvp stuff so not really like star conflict I think there is a slight open world aspect but it's meh for tht but fun for what it is

[@HGanhao]

if you hadn't done this vid I would never know that there actually exists tutorials on star conflict xD I've played back in 2014, just started playing again a week ago or so, good to know there are still players around, btw is your corp recruiting? xD it would be really cool some help , good vid , see you around in space dude.

[@ORCA1911]

Sometimes i feel quilty for not doing more tutorials but the game is just so damn complex for a simple shooter its really hard to cover all bases properly, im working on a few more worthwhile tutorials, hopefully they turn out okay. As for the corp, sure, hit up the ceo and that should be good enough, also drop by my discord if you need any more help, link is in the desc.

[@blazin2840]

been a while since i seen you in game, glad your still around. you still in aowar?

[@ORCA1911]

I've been playing all this time it's just that I was busy a lot so my active time was cut a bit but Im still in aowar tho :D

[@benbowland]

I haven't played this game in probably 4 years or so, but I used to play it constantly. My username was "apistocatfish", and I was in NASA if that corp is even around anymore... I loved this game so much but other things got in the way and they kept making stupid changes and the playerbase got smaller and smaller. The movement mechanics were what made it so special for me--they made the skillcap enormously high. The only other PvP game I've ever liked as much as SC is World of Tanks which I still play occasionally. I think my last ship loadout was Loki, Stingray, Sawtooth, Gargoyle. Sometimes I'd switch out for Thar'ga when I felt extra dirty. I think the weapons I ran on those 4 were Phaser/Ions, Thar'kth/Singularity, Ions/Gravibeamer, and Boson/Positron. Phaser Loki and Thar'kth Stingray were a fucking nasty combo. I did so well with those. Sometimes I want to redownload the game and destroy some PvP matches again but I hate having to deal with all the bad changes that accumulate..... The memories are nostalgic though.

[@goantasebastian2584]

I have a big question. I'm an old plater returning to the game. Back then and still owe I have no idea what passive modules to use on my ships. Especially on Blood Tormentor. It's a guard ship but mine still dies fast af. I really got no ideea if I should build it for more shield capacity or more resistance.

[@ORCA1911]

It is very situational and guards in general are in a bad place balance wise since destroyers took over their role of tankers.

[@JohnSmith-ho4su]

Do you think they will bring back vr support? Back in 2014 Ive played on my dk2 and the experiance was incredible.

[@ORCA1911]

Probably not, playing the game for so long i dont think i've heard of anyone playing in vr nor enjoying it or playing it for a long time other than just for the heck of it. It must be very disorienting to play like that.

[@friendlyfire3412]

Wow! Is this game is still alive? -KnightForEyes here. I was thinking this game is just died... Not getting too much newbies. Mostly fighting agaisnt pretty cancer ships. Fun fact that was the reason I just gaved up playing this game. Seed chips etc... Just ruined whole idea of the game. Fighting etc was just perma grinding and payin up those chips to get better. Im thinking that this game doesnt got long sadly. And gaijin at some point close those servers too... The money... Anyway I hope this game gets the attention it deserves... So at least after its death... Maybe community will make a community project...

[@ORCA1911]

Idk really, i got occupied with other things in life, things ingame arent stellar but i have thousands of hours in it so nothing is awe inspiring to me at this point due to that so i might be biased with my point of view.

[@CapStar362]

Hey Orca, its CapStar362 - obviously lol Long time man, looking to jump back into SC.......AoWAR still open?

I honestly have no idea, havent logged in for quite some time now, nice to see ya anyway tho :D

[@specopsbarton]

It is very sad how much developers of this game just destroyed it by adding seed chips and insignia. Even after I had few years break from playing this game and returning it back now, I see that it is still unplayable. Before seed chips and insignia for example playing pve was worth it, you had to think how to play and equip your ship. Now thanks to insignia and seed chips even with small recon ship someone can just destroy everything, leaving other players far behind with no fun for playing at all.

[@ORCA1911]

It was merely a infusion of fun that ended up with yet another kind of cancer growth, they just cant predict the complications of their updates.

SOMETHING stolen from EVE?

[@ORCA1911]

wat?

[@umsatz-magnetug1986]

This has nothing comparable to EVE except that both have space ships. Its a 6 DOF shooter, EVE is an Excel simulator
