My starter package tips for you
With the Mustang Alpha, you have everything you need to get started. You can play delivery missions and the Mustang is a good fighter for bounty missions. However, the Mustang doesn’t have a bed, so you can’t respawn on planets/moons or anywhere else in the universe.
If you want to invest a little more money, opt for the game package with the Avenger Titan or the CO. NOMAD. The Avenger is a light space fighter and freighter that can defend itself. The Nomad is a pickup that you can use to transport a ROC, for example, to prospect on planets and moons.
Remember that you can buy many other ships in the game WITHOUT spending extra money.

General
Nobody knows where the journey with Star Citizen will go. Will Star Citizen fail or will it become the biggest MMO in the world? For this reason, you should register your account and get your player name. Also because CIG is working on naming ships. And if your player name is already taken, it’s even more annoying.
Star Citizen is in an open development phase. You’ll experience ups and downs that will drive you to the edge of madness, but you’ll also have a lot of fun with friends or alone. Thus, you must be aware that the game won’t run optimally. It will be jerky, you’ll experience crashes to desktops and server crashes.
Some of the known bugs include:
- Elevators don’t respond or kill you
- Trains run out of sync, wobble or kill you.
- Rubber band effect: you are always drawn back to bed.
- Poor server performance in various locations
- Quantum jump reacts late or does not work
- Crash to Desktop
- 30,000 server errors: you get thrown back to the main menu
- Invisible game character
- NPCs stand on chairs, on benches, walk on one spot
- Asteroids cannot be scanned and mined (mining)
- Gems in caves slide into walls
If you don’t want to invest any money, you can play Star Citizen for free every time for a free fly. These events take place several times a year. When a Free Fly event takes place, you can find out here on this page.
The world of Star Citizen is huge and the game already has many technical challenges. The developers have created a guide that will take you by the hand. The guide is in English.
System requirements
Star Citizen is not well optimized at this point. You can get a good indication from the telemetry data that CIG provides. The RAM is important. You should have at least 32 GB installed, since Star Citizen reserves around 20 GB.
- Windows 8 (64bit), Windows 10 – Anniversary Update, Windows 11 (64bit)
- DirectX 11.1 Graphics Card with 3 GB RAM (6 GB recommended)
- Quad Core CPU with AVX instructions (Intel’s Sandy Bridge processor and AMD’s Bulldozer processor or newer)
- 16 GB RAM (32 GB recommended)
- SSD strongly recommended
- About 90 GB of free hard disk space
Tip
Money is always important in an MMO. In Star Citizen, you earn money quickly at the beginning with mining and delivery missions.
For mining on foot, you will need the Pyro RYT Multi-Tool, the Ore Bit Mining Attachment and a MacFlex “Rucksack” Core.
With this, you can earn your first aUEC quite easily. Go to the caves and mine the ores. Afterwards you sell them. You can buy this equipment with your starting money. Do not buy weapons or special armor. The equipment for mining by hand is your priority! Your first target should be the Greycat ROC.
The ROC is a ground vehicle with which you can mine. The vehicle can spawn at outposts, has a mining head to mine small gems on planets and moon surfaces and a tractor beam that sucks the gems into the vehicle inventory. You can work up a lot of money pretty quickly with this vehicle.
Interesting to know
The Star Citizen community is huge and there are many important links that are very technical but will help you with many situations. Here are a few links for you.
Star Citizen is currently still in development. From time to time, a wipe will occur that will reset your account to zero. This means that all of your progress will be reset. This affects money, reputation, ships, vehicles, and equipment purchased in-game. The wipe will NOT affect your real money items such as ships.
Your entry fee is currently 20.000 aUEC. If you created your account with my referral code, you will receive 5.000 UEC from CIG. So you have 25.000 aUEC available in the game as starting money.
In Star Citizen there are a few important days that are celebrated. For these events, certain events take place in the game, there are special ship offers and often there are also some gifts for you. In particular, the Luminalia calendar in December holds some free in-game items for you. The most important days are:
- Red Festival (January or February)
- Stella Fortuna (15. March)
- Invictus Launch Week (May – June)
- Alien Week (June)
- Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (Nov – Dec)
- Luminalia (22. December)
UEC = United Earth Credits. This is the game currency in Star Citizen. Currently the game is in development. Therefore the current game currency is called aUEC. This currency will be replaced to UEC when Star Citizen is released.
As in many games, you can also buy the game currency UEC in the store on the RSI website. 5,000 UEC costs a little over 5 Dollars/Euros.
Yes there is an official forum called Spectrum. Here you will find chats in different languages as well as numerous threads for problems, bugs, tips, frustration and official patch notes to inform the community on the development of Star Citizen.
As a new player, you will quickly become familiar with the term PTU. The PTU is a test environment where upcoming patches and updates are tested in waves before going LIVE.
When a new patch enters the PTU, it is first accessed by so-called evocati* (EPTU) who test the build under NDA. Once the worst bugs are fixed, the individual waves are released and all other players get access.
- Wave 1 are subscribers and consierge players.
- Wave 2 are active players who play Star Citizen regularly.
- Wave 3 are all other players
* Evocati are a group of players who post a whole lot of helpful bug reports in the issue council and participate helpfully in the community.
Cloud Imperium Games protects players with Easy Anti-Cheat software, which counteracts hacking and cheating in multiplayer PC games through hybrid anti-cheat mechanisms.
There will always be glitches, the exploitation of which will naturally lead to a permanent ban. However, it won’t be that easy to cheat in Star Citizen, since the entire infrastructure is streamed server-side. Everything will later be stored in cloud databases and constantly synchronized.
