In the video, Law the West provides a comprehensive guide for new players in Star Citizen, focusing on the starter Cargo Hauling mission. The mission involves collecting quartz at Port Alisar and delivering it to a location called Great Hat Station. Law emphasizes that this mission is designed to familiarize players with the cargo hauling mechanics, which have evolved over time. He walks viewers through the process step by step, addressing common points of confusion for newcomers.
To begin the mission, players need to access their mobile glass and select the available cargo hauling mission. Law explains how to locate and collect the cargo from the freight elevator in the hangar. He advises players to ensure they have a ship capable of carrying the required amount of cargo, which in this case is 11 SCU. While it’s possible to use a smaller ship and make multiple trips, having a larger cargo-capable ship can significantly streamline the process.
As Law demonstrates the mission, he shares practical tips, such as positioning the ship for easier loading and utilizing the remote turret for cargo handling. He notes that the initial missions are straightforward, primarily focusing on introducing players to the cargo hauling mechanics. Law also highlights the importance of keeping track of all cargo items, as missing even one can result in mission failure, although there are workarounds for such situations.
Once the cargo is collected, Law explains the journey to the delivery point, emphasizing the need to request landing permissions at the destination. He discusses various types of locations where players can deliver cargo, including space stations and outposts, and the unique challenges each presents. Law shares his preferences for missions that involve direct hangar-to-hangar deliveries due to their simplicity and reduced exposure to potential threats from other players.
In conclusion, Law summarizes the entire cargo hauling process, noting that the initial missions serve as a foundation for more complex tasks later on. He mentions the progression of difficulty in missions, from trainee to master levels, with increasing amounts of cargo and more intricate delivery requirements. The video aims to equip new players with the necessary knowledge and confidence to tackle cargo hauling missions effectively, making their experience in Star Citizen more enjoyable.
