So much of navigating Star Citizen is knowing the workarounds and fixes for all the little 'issues' you encounter. Videos like this are very helpful.

Save your self a lot of time landing by keybinding a button to request permission to land or take off. I use F3 and it is soooo helpful instead of fumbling to call for permission.

My biggest tip for new Star Citizens is that this game is a Marathon, not a sprint. Development is 10 years and counting, so don't expect to have all those exciting new features right away. Enjoy the game as it is now, and try to pace yourself.

One of the best things about this game is the community that is here to help you get started. I hope to be playing this for many years. Would love to see Squadron 42 come out some day as well.

Been playing for 8 years and I still learned something new from this video!

A keybind I use a lot is shift+U to turn off all ship system and get out at same time

[darkmatter]

Whoa I didn't know you could set favorites and rebindings in the inner thought menu! Thanks!

[mgonzalez]

Been playing for about 8 months but learned a few things with this video!

One way to retain your equipment if you happen to become incapped or sucked out into space by the "elevator of death" is relog. You will respawn in the apartment with your gear. If you happen to be incapped, when you die, you respawn at the hospital and your gear is in local inventory.

FYI, you don’t have to check yourself in at clinics at space stations. There are “insurance” kiosk that allow you to transfer your respawn data to the new clinic, without having to check in and/or lay down.

This was by far the most useful tips for beginners like myself. Thank You.

[jamesc]

Just watched your cities of Star Citizen video from a while back and it was incredible. Thanks heaps! Any chance on an updated version of that even if it is just for Loreville when it gets it makeover next year?

In addition to ping for height info, 3rd person viewing when flying at low altitudes is typically A LOT brighter.

I have been doing allot of research on this simulation/game in the past.(which is where I found your station) I found out allot on my own, and you revised that in this, GJ... In truth, I didn't know the last 2 points you mentioned, and I will make a note of it, once I get this and start running, I just wish the keyboard options where NOT so vast. Almost want to dig my older pilot simulator joy stick and throttle control out of my tech box. I'm hoping it would prove very useful in the future... Please remember, be safe boss, please

[evlkenevl]

Liked and subscribed. All your vids are great examples of how it's done. The work you put into them really shows.

[kaiberuss]

nowadays when elevators dont load in i just step in, either i live or die, its a fun 50/50 gamble

[michealnelson]

Got Game. Used your code. The alien datacomp is infecting my deskcomp as we speak. See you in the verse!

[weijingburr]

Here'e another tip, you're gonna need rock solid and FAST internet, not just for game stability, but also to download the 100GB!! game file.

[CosmicD]

The one landing zone that I just can't get to remember the spaceport is Orison, it's such a vague lattice of interconnected shapes that I just get lost until I am either able to spot a hangar door or when I accidentally am close enough to see a landing marker after spamming the request 10 times :P

[TrentSzopinski]

Awesome video, thank you very much. Idk if it's already been made, but i'd love a video/forum of all the very useful keybinds such as; Auto-landing, Tethered Flight, Docking, etc...
