In this episode of “Living off the land in Star Citizen,” the player explores a skiff and its weapons, considering equipping some of the found items onto their ship. They encounter some technical difficulties with attaching weapons to the cargo grid and experience desynchronization issues due to server performance. Despite these challenges, they manage to collect a few weapons, including size three tormentors and a breakneck size four Gatling, along with some missiles. The player debates the usefulness of certain weapons like NDBs, opting to avoid them to prevent drawing unwanted attention from other players.
The player then sets out to explore asteroid mining bases around MicroTech, a location known for missions and potential combat encounters. These bases are often hotspots for piracy and contain various salvageable items and ships. Upon arriving, the player scans for wrecks and abandoned ships, hoping to find useful components or weapons. They note the presence of ships marked as “game rules,” indicating that these vessels have been claimed on insurance and are likely abandoned.
