  Welcome to Episode 1 of my Star Citizen Academy! If you&apos;re a new or returning player my goal is to put together a series of videos to help people get up to speed as Star Citizen is one of the most complex games out there. I&apos;m releasing these as individual video episodes and when things change I&apos;ll replace it with an up to date one. That works better than a 3 hour tutorial that&apos;s quickly out of date. If you&apos;re looking for an overview on Star Citizen please see this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJIT61vxv78">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJIT61vxv78</a>

  I swear! If they ever do a Cutlass v2, it needs to replace the manned turret with a copilot controlled one, add a real bathroom, and do an actual componets pass!

  Can confirm, take the mustang, run bounties, rent hull A, then watch the game take off.

  Note about the Intrepid: it&apos;s not too hard to fit 11 single-scu boxes by stacking them in the corridor. This means it&apos;s perfectly adequate for the current 222k Interstellar cargo hauls. These will have you pick up boxes from 3 locations in Stanton and take them to interesting places in Pyro, which have plenty of loot lying around, and when you get there you can often do a very easy package delivery mission for an extra 60k. This is very good value for your time.

  I started hauling on my original starter Aurora MR. Once I realised that you could rent ships, and found out about the cutlass black, I spent the next three days of game time hauling between Microtech and Port Tressler and was able to purchase the Cutlass Black with the profits. For 50k per day, which is the cost of one completed contract, it was a game changer. Now I just have to decide what&apos;s next!

  I pledged to the c1 spirit when it came out. Haven&apos;t regretted it yet

  This game desperately needs an in-game ship radio where one can listening to entertaining stuff while salvaging or hauling.

  The Avenger Titan always was the goat of starters. There’s more competition these days but I still love how fast and manoeuvrable it is.

  I&apos;ve managed to fit 5 scu into the mustang by putting &nbsp;3 box then the double wide as for the cutter you can actually fit about 15 worth of boxes in if you let them fit off grid in the rear. I also buy like 8 quarter storage boxes to keep in the living spaces for things I find. It holds an argo mining mech if you are feeling up to filling tons of containers

  No Aurora in Star Citizen is like no beer at the tailgate party: it&apos;s just not the same.

  Honestly, I think the Intrepid and the avenger titan really appeals to me the most, I am torn between the two.
