******Official Star Citizen / Squadron 42 Thread******

Guys how do I get on the same server as my friend?

We've just got the game and very much just learning how to do things etc.



EDIT: Also I got 5000 credits in my start package and referred a friend for extra credits I believe? Just gone to buy a flight suit for 3000 and I have insufficient funds, I only have 2,750 (iirc). what the heck??? how do i make money ha

You don't get the additional credits until the game is released, just now we're using made-up currency (alpha-UEC) and you can make it doing missions, going to comms arrays and turning them on etc.

You'll start with a flight suit, just put it on at the hangar in your spawn room or at the cupboards near the airlock doors.

To get into the same instance as your mate one (or preferably both of you) need to add each other to your in-game friends list (press F11), easiest was is to do it in-game but you can do it on the RSI site too by going here and typing in your friends name:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/settings

click "my RSI" then on the left side of the popup you'll see "contacts" add him in there, get him to do it too. Both log out and one log in, then when the other goes to login to crusader you'll see the instance your friend is in and you can join in on them. You'll also be able to add each other to a group first using the in-game contacts list (F11) which is a more reliable way to enter an instance together.
 
Ah right thank you!

How or where do I start these missions?

We've both added each other to contact list and logged in and out numerous times, but it just constantly says that we're both offline on each others screens.

Also how do I make a group from the contacts screen? If I click his name I only get the option to "remove contact" and nothing else.


EDIT: Ignore the contact thing, he gave me the wrong name -.-

So, what's currently available?

I'm GENUINELY not after a fight, but compare it to E: D as to what there is to do and level of completion. E: D basically bores me after a pretty short time, looking for a little more but I don't think there's... that much completed here.

Not after what's being promised compared to E: D, I'm aware of that, not followed it well enough to know the state of the.... game at the moment.

You can do missions together and explore a few solar systems.

This has more scope and potential though.

If your expecting a feature rich game today then your probably going to be disappointed I would think. There's bits of stuff here and there to do, but its not really much of a game yet to be honest. Its fun if you like messing around and making your own fun though, otherwise, not so much.

You can like both, I do :)

Elite is still way more of a "game" per say. Solo in Star Citizen and you'll get bored quickly, there's only so many times you can do the same missions, most of which are copy/paste jobs.

You can however:

1. Arena commander - fight NPC, COOP or versus or even race.
2. Hangar - explore your ships
3. Arccorp - have a look around the shops and what a typical city area will look like later.
4. Crusader/Olisar - Take part in the mini-"public universe" which has some degree of persistence. Money you earn stays, your reputation also stays and there's now a pirate base (where you'll spawn if you reputation goes south).

IMHO though multiplayer is where it shines, take out a Constellation with a few randoms or friends or a Starfarer, Freelancer or Cutlass and the game takes on a whole new dimension. Those same missions now feel more involved, more fun. Heck even just messing around on some of the various space structures you can visit can be a laugh. I snuck into an avenger a few weeks and shot the pilot as he flew home, the same guy had been chasing me around a Starfarer half an hour earlier.

Unlike Elite you really need to make it into something, Elite you can fire up and get on with it. You need to put the initial effort into entertaining yourself in SC as it stands.

lik arma 3 :)
 
Ok, so the PU is coming along. That's the part I was most interested in.

Still doesn't sound like it's quite enough to keep me interested just yet (if you look back, I've asked the same previously. I give it a good half year between asks though :D )

I've a feeling I'll be in Grimhex, every time I spawn in the last couple of days I've been there, no idea why as I've tried to clear my name several times, never anything to clear!
