Where's my ship?From May 22nd until June 3rd, you can try Star Citizen for free, but you might be wondering where to find your ship when you first log in. If this is you, fear not. You’ve come to the right place.

There’s a lot to take in, but don’t worry. There’s no right or wrong way to play Star Citizen. The entire point is immersing yourself in the game world. Stanton is vast, and it’s easy to get lost simply traversing the spaceport. Slow down, relax, enjoy yourself. Get acclimated to your surroundings and the controls.

When you’re ready to take to the skies and see what else is out there, you’ll want to find your ship. You can follow our detailed Getting Started guide to help you do just that, and reach the stars.

I'm in my ship! Now what?Star Citizen currently takes place in the Stanton system, a corporate controlled commerce hub filled with near-limitless opportunity. There are four planets and twelve moons in this system, each with its own points of interest. From massive cities to small outposts, busy space stations to creepy cave excursions, blizzard-kissed mountains to sprawling tundra, there’s plenty to see no matter your ultimate destination. Spool up your quantum drive and explore wherever and however you want.

How do I make money and where do I spend it?Now that you’re out there, presumably exploring the ‘verse, it’s time to earn some credits. One way to do this is to run a mission. Open your mobiGlas (F1), navigate to your mission manager, and accept any available mission in one of many categories, from exciting high-stakes parcel delivery to earning your stripes as a bounty hunter.. Consult our Missions and Contracts guide for more details.

These missions pay out credits that can be used to purchase a wide variety of items from shops found at most space stations and landing zones. Weapons, armor, clothing, ship parts and components, even ships and vehicles are available for in-game purchase with your hard-earned credits.

Still Need Help?Guide SystemThe best way to learn the tricks of the trade is from the citizens who have already mastered them. The Guide System gives you an easy way to find knowledgeable members of the community to help you get started, or hone your skills in a particular role or profession.

Welcome HubNo matter your style of play, the Welcome Hub is a one-stop-shop when it comes to getting started. Alongside the Guide System, there are a wealth of tutorials and how-to's to kickstart your personal journey into the Stanton system. Looking for a deeper dive on something specific? Our in-depth Knowledge Base has all the detail you could ask for on anything from controls to in-game reputation.

Having trouble logging in?Checking to see if servers are undergoing maintenance or getting an error when trying to log in? These things can happen, especially during massive events. The Status Page gives you an overview of the persistent universe, matchmaking, and platform status along with a report of any outages.

Wo ist mein Schiff?Vom 22. Mai bis zum 3. Juni kannst du Star Citizen kostenlos ausprobieren, aber du fragst dich vielleicht, wo du dein Schiff findest, wenn du dich zum ersten Mal einloggst. Wenn du das bist, keine Angst. Du bist hier genau richtig.



Es gibt eine Menge zu verarbeiten, aber keine Sorge. Es gibt keinen richtigen oder falschen Weg, Star Citizen zu spielen. Es geht nur darum, in die Spielwelt einzutauchen. Stanton ist riesig und es ist leicht, sich beim Durchqueren des Raumhafens zu verirren. Verlangsame, entspanne dich, genieße es. Gewöhne dich an deine Umgebung und die Steuerung.



Wenn du bereit bist, dich in die Lüfte zu schwingen und zu sehen, was es da draußen noch gibt, wirst du dein Schiff finden wollen. Unser detaillierter Getting Started Guide hilft dir dabei, die Sterne zu erreichen.

Ich bin in meinem Schiff! Star Citizen findet derzeit im Stanton-System statt, einem von Unternehmen kontrollierten Handelszentrum mit nahezu unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten. Es gibt vier Planeten und zwölf Monde in diesem System, jeder mit seinen eigenen interessanten Punkten. Von riesigen Städten bis hin zu kleinen Außenposten, von geschäftigen Raumstationen bis hin zu gruseligen Höhlenexkursionen, von Schneestürmen geküssten Bergen bis hin zu ausgedehnter Tundra - es gibt viel zu sehen, egal wohin du letztendlich reist. Spule dein Quantenlaufwerk auf und erkunde, wo und wie du willst.

Wie verdiene ich Geld und wo kann ich es ausgeben?Jetzt, wo du da draußen bist und vermutlich das Universum erkundest, ist es an der Zeit, ein paar Credits zu verdienen. Eine Möglichkeit, dies zu tun, ist, eine Mission zu starten. Öffne dein mobiGlas (F1), navigiere zu deinem Missionsmanager und nimm eine beliebige Mission in einer der vielen Kategorien an, von aufregenden Paketlieferungen mit hohem Einsatz bis hin zu Kopfgeldjägern, die sich ihre Streifen verdienen. Lies unser Handbuch zu Missionen und Verträgen für weitere Details.



Diese Missionen zahlen Credits aus, die du zum Kauf einer Vielzahl von Gegenständen in den Shops der meisten Raumstationen und Landezonen verwenden kannst. Waffen, Rüstungen, Kleidung, Schiffsteile und -komponenten, sogar Schiffe und Fahrzeuge können mit deinen hart verdienten Credits im Spiel gekauft werden.
