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. This video goes over how to look up the ship weapons and parts you need to change out and how to do so.
