Alpha 3.17: Fueling Fortunes - Things To Do

Things to Do in Star Citizen
Alpha 3.17
Ever wanted to live in a universe that grants the freedom of exploration, the thrill of combat, and the unique challenge of building a life in space? Star Citizen puts ultimate control directly in your hands, whether you're making your way as a cargo hauler, exploring the vastness of space, or scraping out a living outside the law, it's up to you to define your story.
You've got your starter ship, you've chosen a primary residence, and you're ready to start your adventures in the 'verse, but where should you start? There's a lot to see and do in the Stanton system. Read on for a quick guide for a few of the options available to you take to the skies for the first time.

Visit a Hospital
Before you venture too far out into the 'verse, be sure to visit a hospital or clinic. If you meet an untimely demise while out adventuring, you'll respawn at your designated imprint location, which is your primary residence city by default. You can set this to any hospital or clinic by visiting them and selecting "Transfer Imprint" at a Regeneration terminal.

Hospitals and clinics are also a great place to stock up on medical supplies, medical multi-tool attachments, or even dedicated healing tools. Check out our Hospitals and Healing Guide for more information on how these tools work, as well as additional guides through the entire medical gameplay system.

Summoning power cellQuantum soupBowStart Your CareerParcel DeliveryOne of the best ways to start earning credits quickly is parcel delivery missions. These missions start off with a simple point-A-to-point-B delivery of a standard parcel box, but as you earn a reputation with various delivery brokers, missions will increase in difficulty (and payout) with more complex journeys, timed deliveries, and hazardous cargo.

This is also a great way to get acquainted with Stanton as these missions require traveling to every corner of the Stanton system. Open your Contracts Manager in your mobiGlas (F1); you'll find these missions under the delivery category.

MiningLooking to get your hands dirty with some good, honest work? Mining is another great way to earn credits in the 'verse. Grab yourself a multi-tool with an OreBit mining attachment at a cargo center, refinery deck, or a few various other shops around Stanton to get started.

The best place to find quality ore is to start in a cave. Caves are usually the subject of Investigation missions, so take a look at your Contracts Manager to see if one is available. Once you find some ore (example pictured), left-click to engage the mining laser on your multi-tool. Keep the energy level displayed on the left side of the UI in the green zone to crack the ore open. Be careful though, if the energy level stays in the red zone too long... well, let's just say things can get explosive.

Bounty HuntingCombat more your style? Bounty hunting is another viable career choice in the Stanton system. To get started, go to your Contracts Manager and accept the Tracker Training Permit Certification mission. This will cost 500 credits to start, but you'll be making money in no time. You'll then receive an NPC target to destroy in the Stanton system, which will be marked on your Starmap.

Once complete, you'll gain access to additional contracts as well as certification missions with the various security companies of Stanton. As you do more and more missions, you'll gain a reputation with both these companies as well as the Bounty Hunters Guild. This will give you access to riskier contracts that payout much higher, as well as additional credit bonuses. You can track your bounty hunting reputation in the Delphi app on your mobiGlas.

What to Do NextCommodity TradingUpgrade your ship to something with a bit more cargo and parcel delivery seems too small for your larger hold? Commodity trading is an extremely lucrative way to earn profit while trucking your way across the system.

Head to a commodity kiosk to load up your ship with cargo of various types. The more valuable the cargo, the higher the buy-in, but the bigger the margins if you deliver to the right place. These kiosks can be found in cargo centers, admin offices, and even mining outposts on planets and moons. Keep an eye on your journal for updated pricing information as you travel around the system.

RefuelingPerhaps providing a service is more up your alley? The Refueling profession, new to Alpha 3.17, makes use of the MISC Starfarer line of ships to deliver fuel to those in need.

Once you have your Starfarer, you can buy fuel both for yourself as well as to load your fuel pods at any port. This will allow you to refuel other players mid-flight, whether out of the goodness of your heart or for a healthy profit margin. Check out the full Ship to Ship Refueling Guide for more details.

MissionsThere's a myriad of other missions available in your Contracts Manager that take you to the farthest reaches and the deepest corners of the 'verse.

Assist microTech security to save the day as a yacht in orbit is boarded by pirates. Investigate a tragic accident on a local cargo station to potentially prove a man's innocence. Search the depths of a cave system for a missing person. These along with many more are scattered throughout the system waiting for you to discover.

ExplorationWhile you're embarking on missions and traveling around the system, keep an eye out for loot! Aside from looting the bounties or pirates you come across during your adventures, loot can be found in boxes and crates scattered throughout the locations you come across.

Most bunkers, caves, derelict ships, and a few security stations have loot to be found. The deeper you explore, the rarer the loot you'll find. If you find something you don't have a use for, don't worry, take it to a shop to sell!

A Life of CrimeLooking to live dangerously? Following the letter of the law isn't the only way to play. Take a gander at the contracts available in the Personal tab of your Contracts Manager to try your hand at a life of crime.

These missions are high risk, high reward, and you run the risk of gaining a crime stat. Repeated success at performing these missions will earn the trust of the various illegal brokers in the system, giving you access to even more lucrative opportunities. Be careful, as the security forces of the megacorps of Stanton don't take lightly to being crossed. Keep your jobs quick and clean to avoid a trip to Klescher Rehabilitation Center.

Dinge, die man in Star Citizen tun kann
Alpha 3.17
Wolltest du schon immer in einem Universum leben, das dir die Freiheit der Erkundung, den Nervenkitzel des Kampfes und die einzigartige Herausforderung bietet, ein Leben im Weltraum aufzubauen? Star Citizen legt die ultimative Kontrolle direkt in deine Hände. Ob du dich als Frachtspediteur durchschlägst, die Weiten des Weltraums erkundest oder dich außerhalb des Gesetzes durchschlägst - es liegt an dir, deine Geschichte zu bestimmen.
Du hast dein Startschiff, hast dir einen Wohnsitz ausgesucht und bist bereit, deine Abenteuer im Universum zu beginnen, aber wo sollst du anfangen? Im Stanton-System gibt es eine Menge zu sehen und zu tun. Im Folgenden findest du einen kurzen Leitfaden für einige der Möglichkeiten, die dir zur Verfügung stehen, wenn du dich zum ersten Mal in die Lüfte schwingst.

Start deiner Karriere
Paketzustellung
Bergbau
Kopfgeldjagd
Paketzustellung
Eine der besten Möglichkeiten, um schnell Credits zu verdienen, sind Paketzustellmissionen. Diese Missionen beginnen mit einer einfachen Zustellung eines Standard-Paketes von Punkt A nach Punkt B, aber je mehr du dir einen Ruf bei verschiedenen Zustellbrokern erwirbst, desto schwieriger werden die Missionen (und desto mehr Geld bekommst du) mit komplexeren Fahrten, zeitlich begrenzten Zustellungen und gefährlicher Fracht.

Das ist auch eine gute Möglichkeit, um Stanton kennenzulernen, denn für diese Missionen musst du in jeden Winkel des Stanton-Systems reisen. Öffne den Vertragsmanager in deinem mobiGlas (F1); du findest diese Missionen in der Kategorie "Lieferungen".

Bergbau
Willst du dir die Hände mit guter, ehrlicher Arbeit schmutzig machen? Bergbau ist eine weitere großartige Möglichkeit, um im Verse Credits zu verdienen. Besorge dir ein Multitool mit einem OreBit-Bergbauaufsatz in einem Frachtzentrum, auf einem Raffinerie-Deck oder in einem der vielen anderen Läden in Stanton, um loszulegen.

Der beste Ort, um hochwertiges Erz zu finden, ist eine Höhle. Höhlen sind normalerweise Gegenstand von Erkundungsmissionen, also sieh in deinem Vertragsmanager nach, ob eine verfügbar ist. Sobald du etwas Erz gefunden hast (siehe Beispiel), klicke mit der linken Maustaste, um den Minenlaser deines Multiwerkzeugs zu aktivieren. Halte die Energieanzeige auf der linken Seite der Benutzeroberfläche im grünen Bereich, um das Erz aufzubrechen. Sei aber vorsichtig, wenn der Energielevel zu lange im roten Bereich bleibt... nun, sagen wir mal, es kann explosiv werden.

Wenn du wissen willst, wie du mit einem Bergbauschiff wie dem Prospector oder der MOLE vorankommst, sieh dir den Guide von Community-Mitglied xl0p zum Thema Schiffsbergbau an.

Kopfgeldjagd
Kämpfen ist mehr dein Stil? Die Kopfgeldjagd ist eine weitere gute Möglichkeit, im Stanton-System Karriere zu machen. Um damit anzufangen, gehst du zu deinem Vertragsmanager und nimmst die Mission "Tracker Training Permit Certification" an. Das kostet dich 500 Credits, aber du wirst in kürzester Zeit Geld verdienen. Du erhältst dann ein NSC-Ziel im Stanton-System, das du zerstören musst und das auf deiner Sternenkarte markiert wird.

Sobald du es erledigt hast, erhältst du Zugang zu weiteren Aufträgen und Zertifizierungsmissionen bei den verschiedenen Sicherheitsunternehmen von Stanton. Je mehr Aufträge du erledigst, desto mehr Ansehen erlangst du sowohl bei diesen Unternehmen als auch bei der Gilde der Kopfgeldjäger. Dadurch erhältst du Zugang zu risikoreicheren Aufträgen, die viel mehr Geld einbringen, und zu zusätzlichen Kreditboni. Du kannst deinen Ruf als Kopfgeldjäger in der Delphi-App auf deinem mobiGlas verfolgen.

Einige Tipps zum Flugkampf in Star Citizen, die dir helfen, die Kopfgelder zu kassieren, findest du in CaptainBerks' Kampfführer für Anfänger.

Was du als nächstes tun kannst
Handel mit Rohstoffen
Tanken
Missionen
Erkundung
Ein Leben voller Verbrechen
Rohstoffhandel
Du hast dein Schiff aufgerüstet, um etwas mehr Ladung zu transportieren, und die Paketzustellung erscheint dir zu klein für deinen großen Laderaum? Der Rohstoffhandel ist eine äußerst lukrative Möglichkeit, Profit zu machen, während du dich per LKW durch das System bewegst.

Gehe zu einem Rohstoffkiosk, um dein Schiff mit verschiedenen Arten von Fracht zu beladen. Je wertvoller die Ladung ist, desto höher ist der Einkauf, aber desto größer ist auch die Gewinnspanne, wenn du an den richtigen Ort lieferst. Diese Kioske findest du in Frachtzentren, Verwaltungsbüros und sogar in Bergbau-Außenposten auf Planeten und Monden. Behalte dein Tagebuch im Auge, um aktuelle Preisinformationen zu erhalten, während du durch das System reist.

Tanken
Vielleicht ist eine Dienstleistung mehr nach deinem Geschmack? Der Beruf des Tankwarts, der neu in Alpha 3.17 ist, nutzt die Schiffe der MISC Starfarer-Reihe, um Treibstoff an Bedürftige zu liefern.

Sobald du deinen Starfarer hast, kannst du Treibstoff für dich selbst kaufen und deine Tankkapseln an jedem Hafen aufladen. So kannst du andere Spieler während des Fluges auftanken, sei es aus reiner Herzensgüte oder um eine gute Gewinnspanne zu erzielen. Weitere Informationen findest du im Leitfaden für das Tanken von Schiff zu Schiff.

Missionen
In deinem Vertragsmanager stehen dir unzählige weitere Missionen zur Verfügung, die dich in die entlegensten und tiefsten Winkel des Universums führen.

Hilf dem MicroTech-Sicherheitsdienst, den Tag zu retten, als eine Yacht im Orbit von Piraten geentert wird. Untersuche einen tragischen Unfall auf einer lokalen Frachtstation, um möglicherweise die Unschuld eines Mannes zu beweisen. Suche in den Tiefen eines Höhlensystems nach einer vermissten Person. Diese und viele weitere Aufgaben sind im ganzen System verstreut und warten darauf, von dir entdeckt zu werden.

Erkundung
Während du dich auf Missionen begibst und durch das System reist, solltest du Ausschau nach Beute halten! Du kannst nicht nur Kopfgelder oder Piraten plündern, die du auf deinen Abenteuern triffst, sondern auch Kisten und Verschläge, die du an den Orten findest, an denen du auftauchst.

In den meisten Bunkern, Höhlen, verlassenen Schiffen und einigen Sicherheitsstationen gibt es Beute zu finden. Je tiefer du gehst, desto seltener ist die Beute, die du findest. Wenn du etwas findest, für das du keine Verwendung hast, kannst du es in einem Laden verkaufen!

Ein Leben voller Verbrechen
Willst du gefährlich leben? Es ist nicht die einzige Art zu spielen, wenn du dich an das Gesetz hältst. Wirf einen Blick auf die Verträge, die du auf der Registerkarte "Persönlich" deines Vertragsmanagers findest, und versuche dich an einem kriminellen Leben.

Diese Missionen sind risikoreich und lohnenswert, und du läufst Gefahr, einen Verbrechensstatus zu erhalten. Wenn du diese Missionen wiederholt erfolgreich durchführst, werden dir die verschiedenen illegalen Makler im System vertrauen und du erhältst Zugang zu noch lukrativeren Möglichkeiten. Sei vorsichtig, denn die Sicherheitskräfte der Megakonzerne von Stanton nehmen es nicht leicht, wenn man sie hintergeht. Erledige deine Aufträge schnell und sauber, damit du nicht ins Klescher Rehabilitationszentrum kommst.
