In this comprehensive new player guide to Star Citizen, Morphologists introduces the Stanton system, the starting point for most players. He emphasizes that while the universe can be unforgiving, by following this guide, beginners can navigate their first few hours effectively, gaining an understanding of the basics and starting to build their in-game wealth. The guide assumes a basic understanding of PC gaming but offers tips and tricks to ease the learning curve, encouraging players to equip themselves properly before venturing into the universe.
Choosing a starter ship is a crucial first step, and Morphologists recommends using a referral code to gain extra in-game currency. He discusses various starter packages, highlighting the Drake Cutter, the Intrepid from Crusader, and the Aegis Avenger Titan as viable options. He favors the Avenger Titan for its cargo capacity and combat capabilities, emphasizing that ship price does not always correlate with power or effectiveness. Players are encouraged to select a ship that suits their playstyle, as personal skill can often outmatch the advantages of more expensive ships.
Once players launch the game, they’re prompted to create a character and select a starting location. Morphologists suggests New Babbage due to its amenities and safety compared to other cities in the Stanton system. After character creation, he guides players through the MobiGlass interface, explaining its various functions, including health status, contracts, and inventory management. He also emphasizes the importance of survival mechanics, such as eating and drinking, to maintain character health.
As players progress, they learn about the in-game tutorial, which, while incomplete, offers valuable information. Morphologists encourages players to explore their surroundings, purchase essential items, and familiarize themselves with the game’s inventory system. He highlights the importance of setting a respawn location at a medical facility and discusses the various shops and services available at space stations, including armor and weaponry options. This preparation is essential for tackling missions and surviving encounters in the game.
Finally, the guide touches on missions, emphasizing that players should start with delivery or hauling missions to learn the ropes without the stress of combat. Morphologists explains the importance of reputation and how it affects gameplay, especially in the more dangerous Pyro system. He provides tips for navigating jump points and refueling, while also warning about the risks involved in exploring Pyro. By the end of the video, players are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to begin their journey in Star Citizen, with Morphologists encouraging community involvement for support and camaraderie.
