Star Citizen - quick tips

[phil bottle 9,862]

I'll use this thread to provide some basic tips that aren't always apparent. 

 

In no particular order

 

1. Switching between 1st and 3rd persons = F4 key

2. Free look while in 3rd person = hold down Z key while you move with mouse

3. Before taking off and landing, check in with landing services via comms in MobiGlass = F1

4. Check fuel status after a while. Can refuel at plenty of places.

5. If space cops come at you, immediately stop and you'll avoid a massive fine.

6. Best early missions are deliveries as they are good earners and help you get your bearing in the universe

7. In the MobiGlass contract menu there are tabs for general and personal jobs. Personal deliveries tend to pay higher as they may be slightly illegal.

8. If you do any investigation or mercenary job, buy guns and medikits before you go.

9. In some ships you can sleep and log off in the ship, and wake up on the ship next time you log in. If you logged off in your ship on a planet you'll awake in the same place, if you logged off in a space station, you'll wake up there, if you logged off in your ship in space you'll wake up in a space but not necessarily where you logged off.

 

More to come as they come to me...

The biggest tip, certainly for myself and @Plumbers Crack is learn the controls. They're really simple once you get the hang of it:

 

A&D = strafe left & right.

Q&E = yaw (spin) left & right.

Space = vertically up (jump jets if you will).

Ctrl = Down (opposite of space).

W&S = faster & slower. 

 

Phil's tip no. 3 is a big one for me personally as I've probably spent over an hour just wondering how to get my ship out of a hangar. You need to ask them. Facepalm.jpg.

 

Hoping to get on tonight, now that @tronic44 has the game he can hop on too!
