Star Citizen - spiritual successor to freelancer and wing commander

Yo anyone down to show a noob the ropes
any help would be awesome
i know how to fly, mine, and shoot xD
 
Anybody got a code for they want to share (tried mister wobbles one above but didn't work) Thinking of finally giving this a proper go with the Cutter, alternatively if you maybe have an account of the same value I might go for that, otherwise I'm quite set on the Cutter to start with.

Along with said discord unless the discord is the main RSI discord.

The Cutter is an AWESOME little ship, can't go wrong with that as a starter. For discord, I can strongly suggest Join the Spaceport oRiSoN Discord Server! , even Mr wobbles is there and we all group up, chat and play daily.

Yeah, there’s a really good little community on the Orison Discord.

Have you already created an account? Referral codes must be entered on account creation. My referral code is STAR-F7W6-4ZJY
Alternatively there are lots of content creators or the referral code randomiser where you can get one.

The Cutter is a great little ship. I wouldn’t try dogfighting in it but utility wise I’d say it’s the best starter ship.
Remember that, for the next few days, you don’t have to spend any money to play. The discounted Cutter starter pack will be available until December 3rd if I remember correctly. I’d recommend against spending any money at least until you’ve played for a few hours, that should give you an idea about whether you’re willing to deal with the bugs and occasional broken features. If you do have the patience, you’ll find a unique and very special experience that isn’t really equalled anywhere else.

Great to hear and yeah realized account is already created xD

And going to hold off for now on the purchase, I've played it a number times but haven't really ever done missions or anything, just stared at eye candy for hours while flying around the ships during these free fly's, but I'm quite keen now to give it a go, the Cutter is much more attractive than the Aurora/avenger/c8x. Hence not biting the bullet before, didn't find it worth it at all as I want to be a miner/trader in the game, at least to start. So I'll play a bit more religiously this free fly and go through some different contexts to get a better idea otherwise I'm quite happy to sit in space and fuck around with the ships because it really is a XP like no other, and I'm on 1440p now and it kind of sealed the deal with the detail 😂

It's entirely possible to do handing mining misisons with the cutter! That's sort of your first step in the mining career progression, it's hand mining -> vehicle mining -> ship mining -> multi crew ship mining.
I'm certain some of the members of the Orison discord will be happy to take you on some mining trips. I think I still have a Prospector in my hangar which I'd be happy to lend you.
Trading is in kind of a weird place right now where the risk/reward balance doesn't make a lot of sense. It's entirely possible to do it and make some money with it, however.

Remember that there will be occassional wipes, we're expecting one with the next patch as the new entity graph is implemented in preparation for server meshing next year.

The Cutter is a good value as stated above, and you can also get Squadron 42 at a discount at the moment.

that is not bad value imo, but come join the Orison Discord, there are more experienced players than myself there and they should be more than willing to help/advise on any questions you might have, or you can tag along and try missions exec.

Is Squadron worth it though? I haven't checked in on that though and doesn't seem to be worth it yet and can grab it on another sale later on if it's not.

That is most likely the case yeah, we have very little info on SQ42 and if you don't care much for a single player experience then don't get it, but it should be on special again sometime in the future
 
Fellow Star Citizen here - getting back into it (Loadshedding permitting).

I am an Original Backer from Kickstarter days - if there's room on the Discord I'd be happy to join if that's alright.

It’s not my Discord server but the owner is generally very happy to have new joins. It’s quite active at the moment with IAE happening so now is a great time to join and say hi.

Alrighty - still sloggin away at work and De Ruyter said "NO" to gaming tonight, but I'llbe able to hop on and say howzit for a bit.
 
Been following SS for many years and have yet to pull the plug on getting into the game

Elite Dangerous still keeping me busy, but this game really has developed alot, and looks great,

Just the whole having to pay moneys for a ship is a bit iffy for me atm, i want to try before buying,

Is there no way to test out the other ships besides the starter ones?

The free fly week offers all/most ships the game has to fly. Each day they rotate the manufacturers and they do this a few times a year or once a year. like now is the free fly week. Highly recommended. The game is sex on the eyes.

So there might be a bit of a misconception there. There is no need to spend real money to acquire ships, you just need a starter pack like this one.
You can earn ships in game using in-game currency but they will be lost when there is a wipe.
The yearly IAE and Invictus events allow you to rent ships to try out. You can also get some of them in the in-game ship rental kiosks or the Arena Commander game mode.
IAE is happening now so you can play without having a starter pack.

Will look into this this weekend if loadshedding doesnt ruin it for me

Checked in on SQ42 and it seems like it's a good few years away so definitely won't be taking it now, which is a shame because I would honestly love a SP experience with the depth that this game holds (once moer [was going to correct moer but it fits better given ZA xD] developed)

So cutter it is for the time being, unless someone has an account they want to be rid of but other I'd rather get the Cutter given that's where my actual interest lies. :D

Haha, moer it is.

As stated above you still have time, you can fly all sorts of ships now in-game before you make the final plunge, but I do agree that the Cutter is a good deal, if you're into PvP ship battles then the Cutter will not.... cut it. :) . but for everything else it's great.
Looking forward to seeing you in the verse.

That ship of Donati last night, I was a bit lost in it lol.
 
It is complete, I am grinning hard😁
First flight, photoshoot and big smiles because this thing looks so damn good xD
One of my favourite designs outright across the board anyway, hence why I even considered buying into the game to begin with xD

That looks awesome. Hope they sell it in the game soon, been doing Distilled Spirits runs in Crusader saving up for when they release it in-game. :)
