Longtime backer here: finally having some one doing the starter missions with all its details rather just talking about what to do will come handy to new citizens - well done. o7

Finally some cybertruck gameplay 😂 great video, Farrister! Always look forward to your vids!

CIG Really needs to prioritize fixing the box delivery missions. These missions are really one of the first impressions new prospective players see. But for the years I’ve been revisiting these missions they are more often than not bugged in some way or get screwed over with a server crash.

Box delivery contracts are a great way for a new player to get familiar with the basics of SC. Navigation, flight, environmental interaction, you name it. And if you bump into enemy NPCs or pirate/griefers, you can even learn the basics on trying to evade combat. Not to mention the crazy things you can witness at random landing zones.
And kudos on using the Nomad! It's a great ship that doesn't get half the attention it deserves.

While the payouts are meagre, you also have the option to loot onsite any white/grey/read boxes you find in the various buildings, and sell that loot. When your mission is done, and you have the credits you can fill your cargo hold with a commodity cargo and sell that at either a TDD at the main LZ's or Admins on stations, and make extra income.

Thanks for showing some love to the nomad. Absolutely love this ship and it's definitely in my top 5

The Nomad, also known as the Asp Pickup

[honey-fepj]

At outposts (unless I am repairing or refuelling) I don’t park on the pads. It means the pad is blocked so players who need repairs etc can’t. Park your nomad next to where you need to pickup/drop-off the package.

As a little tip: I would be careful doing the longer delivery-missions (like the 5 boxes one). These delivery-missions are regulary bugged. If you can not deliver the last one it is quite annoying :)

[schakTheNerd]

I still go back and do these every once in a while. Regular deliveries can be a pretty chill way to kill some time. Or, if I want something more exciting but don't feel like doing a bunker, retrieval ops can be a lot of fun.

[johnokean]

I’ve been playing since 2017 and I’ve always used delivery missions to either gear up during a new wipe or for a change of pace during the craziness.

The new 10 box delivery missions take a while but you get to see the distribution centers!

[reyork]

Nice vid! As a new player myself i think the in-game tutorial should have included a box mission delivery because as you say, it includes many of the basic skills to get started in this game!

9:20 I think a reasonable trade-off would be to have to give us the option to have shields on in nav mode, but at reduced strength (25-50%?) because additional power is being directed into the thrusters and quantum drive. Heck, if we can choose to manually spool & de-spool the quantum drive, that should allow us to get a bit more shields back in nav mode (maybe that's the 50%)? But I definitely don't get why countermeasures are disabled in nav mode.

After all, shields are essentially _required_ when you're landed at a POI. An NPC cutlass seems to inevitably show up if you're powered down, and you're vulnerable to any random whose preferred PVP experience is against an unoccupied starter ships.

Granted, I'm new and don't know how it was like before SCM and NAV modes.

No investment lost if there are server problems. A cost free mission with minimal risk. Also, the Nomad can carry a rented ROC for mining as a next step. Huge starter profits in ROC mining. I recommend using the tractor beam on the Nomad for loading and unloading the ROC, can also use any other tractor beam.

My god, he did it, he actually did it. This has to be the rarest mission in the verse.

I like to do delivery missions in my Constellation Taurus. it makes me smile to put one tiny little box on that massive cargo elevator.

[ItsDanaNow]

I've still not actually gotten started with Star Citizen since I just heard about it a couple months ago and decided to wait for the upcoming expansion to the cargo gameplay, since that's the sort of thing I'm most interested in, I tend to avoid combat in space sims. And I've got to say I really appreciate just a chill slowpaced video about these basic missions like this one, since I most prefer low stakes just flying around and seeing places like this.

The Redwind deliveries in hurston used to open up "Discrete Courier" missions i.e drugs... the "loot" is more varied and you get access to the drugs at the cargo terminal. used to be decent money running widow or slam to brio's

[dbx]

Box missions used to be my go-to after full wipes, a nice way to build up cash and put together some gear early on, but now the money just isn't there for the time you have to invest, and that's IF the mission doesn't bug out and the server doesn't crash. The delivery missions definitely need a little love from CIG, both where bugginess and payout are concerned. I know it is a low risk activity, and you can supplement the payout with looting crates (when THEY'RE not bugged) but, it's not cost effective from the perspective of the time spent.

The Nomad is such a beautiful little ship.
