Getting the game:

Buying and Installing

Star Citizen is a huge resource-hog in its current state and while potatoes might be able to run it, a few things are MANDATORY. The game must be installed on an SSD for your sanity. SC will take up around 120GB! Having more than 16GB of RAM will help quite a bit, and a 1070+ graphics card with a modern processor is definitely recommended. YMMV

Initial Setup and recommended settings

Now that you've pulled the trigger on a Star Citizen package, get yourself set up to play. Yes, you can set up the game and flight controls however you like, but that's why these are recommendations. Hit up the comments if you think you've got a better way. Setting these things in this way will get you ready for the How to Fly and Your First Mission field guides.

Choose a starting location:

New Babbage, planet Microtech

Corporate and modern, cold, beautifully stark. If Apple made a city.

Orison, planet Crusader

Utopian cherry-blossoms in the clouds of a gas giant

Lorville, planet Hurston

Dystopian, oppressive, dirty, industrial. We love it.

Area 18, planet ArcCorp

Cyberpunk AF on a planet made of megacities.
