This is a new style of guide I have created that is longform and is meant to act as a college lecture of sorts to tell you every detail you need when starting out in Star Citizen as a new or returning player in 2026. This is as if you hired a tutor to stand over and instruct you as you play. There are tons of timestamps below so you can skip what you know or also to skip over some of the further details I explore in this class as I delve into what makes this game so special so you can have a better understanding of why the game can be special, but also to explain why development has taken so long and why this is not your typical MMO.
