The video provides a detailed walkthrough of the Mobiglas interface in Star Citizen, explaining its various tabs such as character status, communication, contracts, navigation, reputation, and ship management, highlighting their functions and key features. It emphasizes the Mobiglas as an essential in-game tool for managing missions, navigation, communication, and vehicle maintenance, crucial for effective gameplay and progression.
The video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the Mobiglas interface in Star Citizen, which functions as the player’s in-game smartphone. Opening it with the F1 key reveals the home screen, where players can see an overview of their character status, current missions, notifications, law jurisdiction, in-game currency, and ship information such as ammo and fuel levels. Environmental conditions like gravity, breathable atmosphere, pressure, temperature, radiation, and a health overview are also displayed. While there is a dedicated health tab with more detailed information, the narrator admits it is seldom used.
Communication in the game is managed via the coms tab, accessible with F11, where players can engage in voice chat, form parties, and manage their friends list and channel notifications. The global chat feature lists all players on the server but has limitations such as incomplete scrolling. Players can adjust their voice-over-IP (VoIP) settings here, with the default push-to-talk key set to the numpad plus key.
The contracts tab is the hub for nearly all missions, including open-world tasks, with future recommendations promised. Navigation is facilitated through the maps tab, which opens with F2 and offers both local and planetary maps. The local map helps inside stations and ships, while the planetary map is more frequently used for broader navigation. Players can pan, pivot, zoom, and search for points of interest, setting routes that provide details on fuel, time, jumps, and distance, although the route must be activated from the pilot seat.
Additional tabs include the journal for lore, mission details, law information, and crime records, although the assets tab is currently non-functional. The reputation tab shows alignment with various organizations, which is crucial since many missions are reputation-locked, unlocking higher-paying and more challenging tasks as players improve their standings. The wall tab allows players to send money to others for a small fee.
Finally, the landing tab is essential for repairing and refueling ships at stations, landing zones, or outposts, where players select the desired services and wait for completion. The vehicles tab, to be discussed in more detail later, manages ship parts and upgrades, requiring both the ship and parts to be at the same location for modifications. If a vehicle is not present, players must move or reclaim it. The walkthrough concludes by emphasizing the importance of the Mobiglas as a central tool for managing many aspects of gameplay in Star Citizen.
