My favorite moments involve stumbling across some prior player's misadventures, trying to reconstruct what happened and tractor up any loot before the next guy with a meaner attitude and a bigger ship comes along.
When players are trying to murder me, hostile settlements and outposts trying to down me, the environment trying to snag and trap me, my ship attempting to sabotage me and the game itself trying to eject me, I mostly enjoy trying to stay alive! Your off-the-grid adventures are very enjoyable. o7
4:50 - Something I'd really like to see added to the game is a merchant mechanic where you can, say, rent a shop in a city or space station to sell items, or have a special crate with a trade terminal on it you can put items in you wish to sell, which you can then put in the cargo bay of your ship.
Problem with this mechanic is that everybody spams it like crazy in most mmo's. Maybe it's not a problem in SC, maps are so huge! There's been many times when I was like "I wish I had x gun", or healing or whatever.
Star Wars: Galaxies had a merchant system where you could create vending machines and salespersons. They could be placed in player housing (creating a store). Advertising was done on the forums and marketplace showing the shop location and what was being sold. Vending machines and salespersons could be loaded with everything from basic resources, arms, armor, houses, and spaceships. Prices were set at the machine or person for each item. I ran a shop called "Dirt Cheap Dirt" where I sold mining supplies and resources. I see setting up the Banu Merchantman and Kraken Privateer in a similar manner with the player-made outposts acting the same way.
@@Pappy_1775 Yes, I imagine something similar, though I never played Galaxies. In the end, people collect a lot of loot, and our only options are to sell it to a npc trader or inefficiently and insecurely sell them to other players. There is a desire to create markets between players but will the devs create a game loop for it? I really hope so, because it will give players a reason to collect loot, mine resources, build bases, operate farms, etc. In addition, it will also give players a reason to interact with other players outside of a PvPvE scenario.
I like cruising low and slow in my trusty corsair exploring by myself or with a buddy. Mostly just enjoying the atmosphere and treating it like a little Sunday drive. I like finding little clearings or geographic spots to chill and walk around, exploring everything a little closer up. This off the grid series is perfect.
I love roaming around and try to investigate those organic sights, not too long ago i came accross a destroyed C2 around Yela the pilot in a full white zeus suit was still floating inside the wreck along with a few scu's of some kind of cargo. then i like making theories: "ok C2 destroyed in a asteroid field around yela. so he mustve run from something otherwise he woulda been more careeful in the asteroid belt". the zeus suit maybe that was his everyday outfit OR: was he far enough away from his pursuers and tried to ditch the ship? no one knows since there was no black box to be found...
I enjoy salvage, ROC mining, and bunker missions. For someone with limited play time, I think your off the grid play is perfect. I feel like I can do that and build in some of my other game play, making the game more enjoyable. Keep bringing the videos. They are great.
By far what i most enjoy doing on star citizen, it's the immersive experience of flying through space with a hotas, starting a journey of exploration, checking everything, turning on the power, calling the landing services to open the gate, and leaving the station, by far my favorite part of the game it's the simulation aspect and the exploration, whish i had one of these SC sim desks
I like the variety of gameplay the game offers, changing occupation when I feel it. Lately I enjoyed clearing enemy bunkers (now that the elevator problem has been fixed) with my Nomad and Cyclone, landing at safe distance from the turrets, boarding my cyclone to get to the bunker, clearing it and picking some loot, putting it in the bucket of the cyclone and back to my ship enjoying the view. Interested also by ROC mining, caves exploration, salvage and always on the lookout for rescue missions to help other players. Thanks for your videos!
Lately my favorite thing to do is logistics. I have an M2 that has a bunch of spaced out 2 SEU boxes that kind of work like footlockers. Each one contains a full kit of gear, so you walk up to it in your skivvies and you have everything you need to equip for whatever mission you feel like running. Figuring out how to put that stuff together and sourcing all of the components is a really zen experience.
I LOVE moving boxes and other things. It's weird, but the notion of actually moving things around, to slowly fill your ship with loot, to place guns in the rack, to swap containers to the grid, to decorate your ship with junk you found along your journey, to hoard things in a station storage... Ah, so good! Somehow, SC made a 1-2 clock mechanic from other games into an time sink which I enjoy a lot.
I’ve been living off-grid a fair bit in the last few months. Mainly I love taking incredible screenshots and I plan to put them up as a slideshow on UA-cam. I also occasionally leave sought after gear or fluffy toys here and there for other players to find. Great video as always 🎉
After playing through a lot of the different game loops I have been most interested recently and checking out ships and exploring outposts. One of my favorite recent events was looking for the masks and just using that as an excuse to stop at all the different outposts and check the loot boxes
Hey Mac, what I enjoy doing in PU 3.21 and 22 right now is (after doing Salvages with friends, and some cargo hauling in C2) taking the Carrack every session, and treating it as my home. I've got the Vulture or Hornet Ghost for aUEC already, and still got 30M+ aUEC left, so I am just enjoying the Stanton system, visiting villages, space stations, sometimes logging off at the station, sometimes in a bed in Carrack. I do always repair and refuel her, never claim. There is the Pisces exploration on board, in matching red color, Mirai Fury next to her, URSA and ROC in a garage, and all the armor sets, weapons, ammo, and utilities I might need. This way I can take any mission including the sos beacons from NPCs, investigations, mercenaries on my ways, when I see some ROC rocks, I land and mine them, when the ROC is nearly full, I head to a nearest mining outpost and as I sell the ROC stones, I also buy some commodities into Carrack's cargo.... It probably should not be this easy to keep afloat financially in a finished game, especially flying such a big ship mostly alone (friends sometimes jump in, sometimes I answer some request on local chat), but it is an awesome chill after the work day. :) Huge fan of your off-grid and zero2hero series 🤘
What I like the most/my favorite thing to do in Star Citizen is interacting with strangers and then helping them out, starting missions setting up things to do, I've met many wonderfull people like that :-)
My favorite thing to do in SC is medical beacons. People get in trouble in quite varied circumstances. The usual place for a beacon of course is a bunker and those can be quite fun trying to not get in trouble yourself (as you may not really have a permission to go there in the first place). One of the stranger ones was saving someone from outside hangar doors at Port Tressler. Don't know why he was there and managed to knock himself out but needed some planning to make it so we could also get out of there.
I'm currently enjoying cargo hauling, and just exploring the new derelict outposts as I've been away for a while. Been great to come back and see so much progress beiing made.
I absolutely love meeting new people in the universe and helping them do missions of any verity. I think meeting people in Star citizen that want to make their own story and fun!
What I love to do most is setting up expeditionary groups. For example planning a trading convoy or doing a salvage scouting mission followed by reclaimers and vultures. It’s multicrew that I love and play this game for, it’s the element that keeps me so invested.
I love traveling to various planets, observing what is on them, enjoying a leisurely flight. Additionally, I like to find some weapons or equipment, but most of all, I enjoy flying in the atmosphere.
I just love playing star citizen with friends, exploring and manning turrets on bigger ships than I own! Thanks for this type of content, keep up the great work!
I was never really interested in watching these sorts of videos, but they've slowly been growing on me to where I look forward to watching them while I'm working on other things at the same time.
I actually don’t have SC but I’ve watched videos like yours for a few years, always wanting to play. I love watching people sneaking onto ships and just enjoying the game by cruising around. If I were to win, I’d be sure to join them. Love the vid, keep up the good work!
My favorite thing is doing box delivery(when they work) and investigation missions, they are great for starter loot and know different places around the system; also living off the grid in my Corsair doing some ROC mining.
I'm fairly new to Star Citizen and my favorite thing to do so far is just flying around the different planets and moons and experiencing the breathtaking beauty of the game. Going on hikes along the rivers on Microtech or exploring caves on Daymar.
Running bunkers, cargo, wreck diving and exploration are my usual things to do. I also collect rare armors and weapons. When I put together a full set of rare armor, I sell to other players who would want them. Sold a set of Xeno Threat armor recently for a good amount of aUEC, so it can be a lucrative side hustle. Great vid and love the off-grid life in SC, too. See ya in the 'verse!
I haven't bought a pledge account yet but I participate in the free fly events when they have them, but when I do get to play I like to do a lot of exploring around the Microtech and Hurston areas. The new settlements they added to the game are simply amazing, it's crazy the scale of this game and the amount of work they put into it. I guess one day I'll be touring and living off the terrain and exploring for new features on planets, great video as always interested to see if you will be able to sell anyone the stuff you found.
LOVE the view at the beginning! I enjoy combat, but I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the stuff you're showing, as well. The former I do with my son, we'll probably try the exploration stuff as well at some later point.
Great video Mac. Really like the off-grid stuff. I mainly like just hanging out with my org-mates doing missions. If I'm playing solo I like doing bounties, scavenging their cargo and stuff, then selling everything.
Love this type of content. This is all that I do and I love it! I load up and stay out for ages till I die/30k. Pack it up and run it again. The exploration and immersion are like a drug
By far my favorite thing to do in Star Citizen is go to Grim Hex exterior landing pads and look for ships that are open, fly them away from the area, and then scrap them. I think it's a pretty comical way to salvage spaceships and it brings the whole "Gone in 60 seconds" trope to Star Citizen in a way.
I like to do all the various gameplay loops from bounties to salvage. I love that there are plenty of options for things to do in Star Cit can't wait for more to be added!!! Love the videos keep it up
Great video! My favorite thing to do in SC is the Orison platform missions. It pays well and I get to shoot bad guy. Thanks for letting me enter for the 100i I still have my 325a original pledge.
Itd be cool if in the future, SC gave the option to start a new game on a remote planet. Maybe in a distant system, so you had to scavenge and mine your eventual way to your ship or social system. Like a hardcore mode perhaps.
Ive been salvaging, i just like going around salvaging and perhaps hitting the jackpot by finding big cargo from the mission like gold or quantanium or whatever ontop. always fun trying to fit to big boxes in the valture. And just running around looking getting familiar with the stations i requent. Makes it feel like a home or a rute and helps with immersion. Love the content by the way, zero to hero series is by far my favorit. But i usually get all the news via ur channel aswell, just to keep it tidy :P Keep up the good work
The most fun for me is when i play with my small group of people and we go pirate cargo runners and have epic FPS battles in their ship and space around it. Aswell as the epic battles before bording them since a lot of people actually seem to have escorts now wich i love, makes it harder for us but also so much more imersive and fun ^^
Really, I have always enjoyed just hanging with friends doing random stuff, finding fun things we didn't know about before, and trying gameloops we rarely play. Ngl tho, living off grid sounds like lots of fun.
SnoochyBoochy's favorite gameplay loop is spending the time to outfit each of my favorite ships with all my gear... and take them for casual flights around microTech's ecosystems. Each ship gets food and drink, several armor sets in theme to the ship, various weapons for the weapon racks, clothes for daily/occasional wear... All standardized. And then I just... Tour! Thank you for your hard work with these vids, Ryan, and thank you for the generous giveaways!
Ive been spending 6 years or so teaching new players how to get past the daunting start, that is star citizen, always showing them what ia possible with what they have. Seeing your videos on UA-cam has allowed me to provide examples of more organic gameplay. Thank you for all you do for the community.
I absolutely love diving into Star Citizen! For me, the most thrilling experiences come from engaging in player bounties and exploring planets, especially places like MicroTech. There's something about the intense combat encounters and the satisfaction of tracking down and dealing with targets that really gets my adrenaline pumping. On the flip side, exploring planets, especially the intricacies of MicroTech, is a visual feast. The detailed environments, hidden locations, and dynamic weather systems make each exploration feel like a unique adventure. It's awesome how Star Citizen caters to different preferences, and I can't wait to see how the game continues to evolve with each update, bringing even more excitement to my favorite activities.
the best thing in this game is communicate with others for me. The community is awesome, either for a novice players with all the help and instructions or even training routes experienced players gives, either for a stories and situations that it could make. So everytime im on a server with a quick o7 trying to find a crew or a one player to fly with doing the stuff they want. Last time i teamed up with a griefer actually, who shot me down almost completely, but i managed to land my ship, and ran from it before the boom. And the guy picked me up and took for a several salvage missions with him giggling long the way about the stuff that happened with us in this game. Man, awesome experience, wish i could do it mor often
The thing I love most about SC is exploring. There’s just something about discovering a cool location that’s totally new to you. This is partly why I’m so excited for the new distribution centers and pyro
I love this videos. Historically, I run basic missions: box missions, low to medium bounties, and just a lot of time being a loot goblin in outposts. Since watching your videos, I've started trying out living off the grid in a cutter on Hurston. It's been a lot of fun and nice to slow down the grind of missions and actually pay attention to my surroundings.
I found the most enjoyment I’ve had is bringing it back to the basics. Enjoying the process of exploring landing zones and outposts. Sitting down to eat that hotdog, go clothes shopping at Microtech, jump in my most modest ship and do a delivery mission. Step out of my ship at an outpost and just take a minute to look at the sky and the horizon. Listen to the mining drills pumping into the ground. Dance solo at the Nightclub in MT after having a few beers. That’s a pretty good space life if you ask me.
My "loop" as it were... has been assisting others getting started. Teaching them how to become efficient at what they do and work smarter, not harder. I focus on legal aspects of the game as well as occasionally doing extreme zero to hero to keep myself sharp and up to date on the most current meta, mostly for the loops of commodities trading and mining. Every community has its share of asshats but Star Citizen has far and above the best community in gaming. Not a day goes by where I am not stunned by the generosity of this community. Commodities trading is my main loop as it is incredibly relaxing and lucrative. It allows me to assist others in building their own empires and as a side result having many friends to assist when I have large endeavors that require group effort. Always enjoy your Zero to Hero organic videos. Best of luck with them.
I’m quite new in the game i just bought my first starter pack after saving money for it, but so far i love exploring the planets so much just fly around to some container missions or trade to earn some extra to refuel my ship to continue enjoying exploring! 😊
My favorite thing to do right now is what my friends call "storage wars" where you take a small cargo ship and you buy the salvage contracts just to pry open the cargo bay. Sometimes you win big! sometimes you... don! lol
My favorite thing is feeling resourceful and minimal in game. My favorite ship right now is the Cutter Scout with a Mule in the back with a 1scu crate in the back and going to hostile bunkers, driving in, and looting to my heart's content.
Great video I love the camerawork you put in!! For me the most enjoyable gameplay either solo or teamed up is going to the new evict missions with 1 gun some ammo and tools (Pyro/Medgun). To seeing how far I can get just suriving off the hostiles and local loot if it's a good run I come back with tonnes of guns ammo and new armor sets to play around with.
I might want to do something like this with a 400i bought in-game. I despise the thing's combat potential, but it has the single best living space in the game, i.m.o.
Hey Mac, I enjoy just being in the verse. I putz around a lot - sometimes I accomplish things but other times I just enjoy reading chat and seeing what others are doing. Otherwise I enjoy Mining and hauling my refined Ore, bunker missions and box delivery when i'm feeling really low-key!
While I have a variety of ships, I enjoy being immersed in the system with a small ship like a Cutter Rambler or Aurora MR. Typically, that means doing deliveries or just flying around, finding a good spot and camping. That's actually the reason why I clicked this video, the off-the-grid living. The 'verse is so beautiful!
Usually my favorite gameplay is running cargo, though recently I've found more pleasure in simply exploring moons and planets in my Mustang with no goal or profit in mind. That's been mostly thanks to seeing you play.
What I enjoy most about playing Star citizen is the community and doing big events in the community like damar rally or even org vs org stuff just playing a game that big of a landscape of Star citizen is amazing and keeps me coming back.
I bought a package January 2023 and have barely even logged on to play. I watched videos from time to time to see how the game is progressing and then I found your channel and you started "living off the grid" and thought, ...this is how I would love to play the game. Its chill and relaxing and with a chance of danger as well. Don't get me wrong, the intense pvp and such sounds great but the "chill" way of playing seems up my alley. Love the series.
I love this series you do for living off grid. It's inspired me to do the very same thing. Star Citizen is what we make it and doing a nomad type zero to hero is such a blast. It's breathed more life into the alpha for me.
As someone that lives offgrid in remote Alaska for several months a year I really enjoy how famalier this feels . Really a big fan of self sustaining options without getting to involved with the rest of the verse . Great video :)
I pretty much like to do all of the things SC offers. However, when I see bugs, it actually gets me somewhat excited to see if there are workarounds and that give me a purposeful puzzle. SC seems to be pretty forgiving in this respect. The person that knows the workaround is the hero. The ship just sitting there, I think, is indicative of a ship that hasn't been claimed yet and was ina smallcrash since there are boxes around it. Those boxes could have been the storage from the ship converted into boxes that typically happens when a ship crashes or a soft death. The doors may have been opened by other players shooting them open.
I like to mine on foot or in land vehicle. Also just flying around to random locations to explore. I really like these off-grid videos, it's nice and relaxing way to play.
A friend and I are running a two person zero to hero based off your videos. We're in a Reliant Kore hitting settlements on Hurston trying to make a living.
Currently I've been enjoying doing the small little missions. Such as delivering boxes and searching caves for lost people. I had been doing bunkers and bounties so long that it's nice to slow down and enjoy the small slow missions in order to just sit back and enjoy the experience/scenery.
Such a cool way to play! I have watched so many different UA-camrs gameplay videos, and I like them just fine, but often it starts to feel same-y, if that makes sense. This is the type of exploration I have always imagined myself doing when I get the game. Keep it up!
A lot of the different gameplay can feel same-y. But this a lot of different gameplay to break it up. Most play with a plan and seek that plan. But if you go in with no plan and take flight, something usually comes up that is unusual. Curiosity never dies. I spent 4 hours last night bombing practice and low and slow flight exploration.
@@festersmith8352 That sounds absolutely right up my alley! Hopefully I win this giveaway, but if not do you think it's worth it buying into the game at this time?
@@Waybreaker You're asking my opinion, which can differ from yours when you experience it. From a basic gamer stand point, I payed $110 for a starter pack over a decade ago and have had thousands of hours of fun in SC. And I still enjoy it. Way worth it. For $45 you have the opportunity for the same thing. But your personal character is the determining factor of whether or not its worth to you. If you lack patience, perseverance, or common sense, you will be pushed to your limit. Its titled as an aloha and you should expect the things that you might expect as such. SC is currently looking at some good big changes coming soon, we have desired for some time. And with those is even more shortly after, we hope. The plan is, that you will never have to spend anymore to continue to play the ever expanding verse that is to be far more than what we have now. But I do expect the price to increase in time. Its an opportunity to live in the most detailed space life you can hope for in your life time. Those the project is far from complete at this time. But you are free to play it as you wish. Much like Mac has done for many years. If you do not like it, I believe you can refund within the first 30 days. Learning it now while its still incomplete, and growing with the expanse of it is a good idea. Be a lot easier to grasp now than in the future. Even now has the complexity has turned some away. Lack of perseverance, or common sense. I'd like to know what you decide. And be happy to be personal one on one guide for your first few steps in the verse. Guides really do help make the learning more tolerable. Just don't recommend you do it in a group.
Feel free to ask more, if you seek specific information. YT is not the best at notifications though. Can private chat in Discord if that works better for you.
Helldivers 2 is huge among gamers right now, and many love it. But I look at it, and it just looks stressful to me. So it doesn't seem worth it to me. Thats my opinion though. SC is very relaxing, with the occasional excitement you may want in an adventure.
Every few days me and my friend jump on our ships, choose a moon or planet to land on and spend the rest of the evening chatting about life while looking at sunset/sunrise. We found it the nicest way to have a chat since we live far away from each other.
My favorite thing to do in Star Citizen is do go around in my dragonfly and explore planets while watching Netflix. Love seeing how beautiful this game is.
What I like to do most in Star Citizen is get together with my group of friends and do bunker missions, or some hunting, sometimes just exploring and seeing the beauty of the game.
I'm still pretty fresh to it all, coming up to 1 month in the 'verse. But so far I'm really enjoying salvaging, being a space scrapper and bringing with it exploration and the thrill of not knowing what else you might find or where you might go. I'm doing it all by hand at the moment, so mixing it up with bunker missions to bring in some extra funds, with the aim that one day soon I'll get that Vulture.
This kind of gameplay let us know how big Star Citizen already is. I was for a month having an SRV as my home, somedays just hanging aroud. It was just amazing.
I run ERT's with my guys. We usually look the wrecks and then salvage. We can generally make a few mill each per mission. Decent group play for us. Really enjoy your videos. Good mix of information and game play. I constantly check the sub list to see if you have another video even though I ha ent gotten a notification yet lol. Keep up the good work!!
Currently my favorite thing to do is more or less the same off grid living scenarios you've done in your videos. Although in my case the emphasis is exploration, visiting settlements and points of interest. I love scouting locations purely for the scenery as well. The more remote the better.
I mostly live around Micro-Tech, doing bunkers, the occasional bounty, and lots of exploring. I love coming across random player ships, and lost cargo. If you happen to come across my Cutlass Black believe me you will have found a loot jackpot, by-the-way those lockers on the flight deck are shared storage, I use mine for a change of clothes, ammo and stuff for myself. Normally I keep a 2SCU in the cargo area for loot, which I am always happy to share, it isn't unusual to come across some random player that needs a multi-tool or backpack.
Honestly I just like flying around in the ships. The ships are the real characters in the game, IMO, and just being in them, tooling around, enjoying the ship spaces, is heaven to me.
I've only been playing for a few months. I get the most enjoyment out of mining at the moment. I usually solo mole, but I do a fair amount of ROC mining. I appreciate your solo game play videos. Keep up the great work!!
The 100i is a great little ship! With the bed, some cargo space for boxes, and unlimited hydrogen fuel, it's great for the type of gameplay you've been doing.
In my case, I like doing delivery missions, but what I enjoy the most right now is just zooming around Stanton, finding places I haven't visited yet, going to city to city, planet to planet, just visiting the verse at the end of the day ! By gaming standards it's not doing a lot but Star Citizen allow that and it's SO good ^^
What I like doing in SC is savaging. Taking my Vulture into space and doing an honest days work. The pay back is really great also. When I'm looking to relax, flying around exploring Microtec is really enjoyable. Its such a beautiful planet. I cant wait for them to flesh out more of it.

Sounds like you’re playing a broken game.
Something that stopped most of my game crashes was increasing the virtual memory size on my HHD to 64000.
Upgrade
@@stevejamieson1613 you'd likely get rid of a majority of crashes if you put the game on a proper ssd...
@@Vandetta333we all play a broken and unfinished game
some people for a solid decade now like me
I love meeting people and doing runs together, whether it be doing reclaimer runs or exploring their ships. Ive played about 50 hours
Welcome to the verse!
I love meeting randoms in bunkers and helping them out. Go off on an adventure together, and wave goodbye somewhere down the road. Good times.
4:50 - Something I'd really like to see added to the game is a merchant mechanic where you can, say, rent a shop in a city or space station to sell items, or have a special crate with a trade terminal on it you can put items in you wish to sell, which you can then put in the cargo bay of your ship.

That'll give players an opportunity to break the economy
@@EsKimoS0 Elaborate on how an in-game mechanism to more efficiently and securely trade items for aUEC would break the economy.
Star Wars: Galaxies had a merchant system where you could create vending machines and salespersons. They could be placed in player housing (creating a store). Advertising was done on the forums and marketplace showing the shop location and what was being sold. Vending machines and salespersons could be loaded with everything from basic resources, arms, armor, houses, and spaceships. Prices were set at the machine or person for each item. I ran a shop called "Dirt Cheap Dirt" where I sold mining supplies and resources. I see setting up the Banu Merchantman and Kraken Privateer in a similar manner with the player-made outposts acting the same way.
@@Pappy_1775 Yes, I imagine something similar, though I never played Galaxies.
In the end, people collect a lot of loot, and our only options are to sell it to a npc trader or inefficiently and insecurely sell them to other players.
There is a desire to create markets between players but will the devs create a game loop for it?
I really hope so, because it will give players a reason to collect loot, mine resources, build bases, operate farms, etc. In addition, it will also give players a reason to interact with other players outside of a PvPvE scenario.
I like cruising low and slow in my trusty corsair exploring by myself or with a buddy. Mostly just enjoying the atmosphere and treating it like a little Sunday drive.

Awesome!!!! This is exactly how we all should be playing this game!
I enjoy salvage, ROC mining, and bunker missions. For someone with limited play time, I think your off the grid play is perfect. I feel like I can do that and build in some of my other game play, making the game more enjoyable. Keep bringing the videos. They are great.
By far what i most enjoy doing on star citizen, it's the immersive experience of flying through space with a hotas, starting a journey of exploration, checking everything, turning on the power, calling the landing services to open the gate, and leaving the station, by far my favorite part of the game it's the simulation aspect and the exploration, whish i had one of these SC sim desks
I like the variety of gameplay the game offers, changing occupation when I feel it. Lately I enjoyed clearing enemy bunkers (now that the elevator problem has been fixed) with my Nomad and Cyclone, landing at safe distance from the turrets, boarding my cyclone to get to the bunker, clearing it and picking some loot, putting it in the bucket of the cyclone and back to my ship enjoying the view. Interested also by ROC mining, caves exploration, salvage and always on the lookout for rescue missions to help other players. Thanks for your videos!
Lately my favorite thing to do is logistics. I have an M2 that has a bunch of spaced out 2 SEU boxes that kind of work like footlockers. Each one contains a full kit of gear, so you walk up to it in your skivvies and you have everything you need to equip for whatever mission you feel like running. Figuring out how to put that stuff together and sourcing all of the components is a really zen experience.
I LOVE moving boxes and other things. It's weird, but the notion of actually moving things around, to slowly fill your ship with loot, to place guns in the rack, to swap containers to the grid, to decorate your ship with junk you found along your journey, to hoard things in a station storage... Ah, so good! Somehow, SC made a 1-2 clock mechanic from other games into an time sink which I enjoy a lot.
I’ve been living off-grid a fair bit in the last few months. Mainly I love taking incredible screenshots and I plan to put them up as a slideshow on UA-cam. I also occasionally leave sought after gear or fluffy toys here and there for other players to find. Great video as always 🎉
I like the quiet times - mining or salvaging with friends and just enjoying the views of the environment I'm in - this game is so often so pretty!
After playing through a lot of the different game loops I have been most interested recently and checking out ships and exploring outposts. One of my favorite recent events was looking for the masks and just using that as an excuse to stop at all the different outposts and check the loot boxes
Going it alone and setting goals and missions for myself. The people you meet and the situations you get yourself in are incredible.
Hey Mac, what I enjoy doing in PU 3.21 and 22 right now is (after doing Salvages with friends, and some cargo hauling in C2) taking the Carrack every session, and treating it as my home.
I've got the Vulture or Hornet Ghost for aUEC already, and still got 30M+ aUEC left, so I am just enjoying the Stanton system, visiting villages, space stations, sometimes logging off at the station, sometimes in a bed in Carrack. I do always repair and refuel her, never claim. There is the Pisces exploration on board, in matching red color, Mirai Fury next to her, URSA and ROC in a garage, and all the armor sets, weapons, ammo, and utilities I might need. This way I can take any mission including the sos beacons from NPCs, investigations, mercenaries on my ways, when I see some ROC rocks, I land and mine them, when the ROC is nearly full, I head to a nearest mining outpost and as I sell the ROC stones, I also buy some commodities into Carrack's cargo....
It probably should not be this easy to keep afloat financially in a finished game, especially flying such a big ship mostly alone (friends sometimes jump in, sometimes I answer some request on local chat), but it is an awesome chill after the work day. :)
Huge fan of your off-grid and zero2hero series 🤘
What I like the most/my favorite thing to do in Star Citizen is interacting with strangers and then helping them out, starting missions setting up things to do, I've met many wonderfull people like that :-)
My favorite thing to do in SC is medical beacons. People get in trouble in quite varied circumstances. The usual place for a beacon of course is a bunker and those can be quite fun trying to not get in trouble yourself (as you may not really have a permission to go there in the first place).
One of the stranger ones was saving someone from outside hangar doors at Port Tressler. Don't know why he was there and managed to knock himself out but needed some planning to make it so we could also get out of there.
I'm currently enjoying cargo hauling, and just exploring the new derelict outposts as I've been away for a while. Been great to come back and see so much progress beiing made.
I absolutely love meeting new people in the universe and helping them do missions of any verity. I think meeting people in Star citizen that want to make their own story and fun!
What I love to do most is setting up expeditionary groups. For example planning a trading convoy or doing a salvage scouting mission followed by reclaimers and vultures. It’s multicrew that I love and play this game for, it’s the element that keeps me so invested.
I like to do delivery missions, mainly because I get to loot things I can use later and practice flying and navigating. Thanks for the great videos!
I love traveling to various planets, observing what is on them, enjoying a leisurely flight. Additionally, I like to find some weapons or equipment, but most of all, I enjoy flying in the atmosphere.
I just love playing star citizen with friends, exploring and manning turrets on bigger ships than I own! Thanks for this type of content, keep up the great work!
I was never really interested in watching these sorts of videos, but they've slowly been growing on me to where I look forward to watching them while I'm working on other things at the same time.
I enjoy going around delivering boxes in my cutter. Looking forward to the Distribution centers so I can get a bit more in depth
I actually don’t have SC but I’ve watched videos like yours for a few years, always wanting to play. I love watching people sneaking onto ships and just enjoying the game by cruising around. If I were to win, I’d be sure to join them. Love the vid, keep up the good work!
I've enjoyed salvaging ships in these kind of areas. Sometimes they're found in a hard to reach spots which I find adds to the challenge.
My favorite thing is doing box delivery(when they work) and investigation missions, they are great for starter loot and know different places around the system; also living off the grid in my Corsair doing some ROC mining.
Exploring is pretty fun lately. Love fast flying at low altitude through canyons as well.
I'm fairly new to Star Citizen and my favorite thing to do so far is just flying around the different planets and moons and experiencing the breathtaking beauty of the game. Going on hikes along the rivers on Microtech or exploring caves on Daymar.
Running bunkers, cargo, wreck diving and exploration are my usual things to do. I also collect rare armors and weapons. When I put together a full set of rare armor, I sell to other players who would want them. Sold a set of Xeno Threat armor recently for a good amount of aUEC, so it can be a lucrative side hustle. Great vid and love the off-grid life in SC, too. See ya in the 'verse!
I haven't bought a pledge account yet but I participate in the free fly events when they have them, but when I do get to play I like to do a lot of exploring around the Microtech and Hurston areas. The new settlements they added to the game are simply amazing, it's crazy the scale of this game and the amount of work they put into it. I guess one day I'll be touring and living off the terrain and exploring for new features on planets, great video as always interested to see if you will be able to sell anyone the stuff you found.
Off grid life looks so fun! So cool you could share these videos. I enjoy delivering and exploring with hand mining.
LOVE the view at the beginning!
I enjoy combat, but I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the stuff you're showing, as well. The former I do with my son, we'll probably try the exploration stuff as well at some later point.
Great video Mac. Really like the off-grid stuff. I mainly like just hanging out with my org-mates doing missions. If I'm playing solo I like doing bounties, scavenging their cargo and stuff, then selling everything.
Love this type of content. This is all that I do and I love it! I load up and stay out for ages till I die/30k. Pack it up and run it again. The exploration and immersion are like a drug
By far my favorite thing to do in Star Citizen is go to Grim Hex exterior landing pads and look for ships that are open, fly them away from the area, and then scrap them. I think it's a pretty comical way to salvage spaceships and it brings the whole "Gone in 60 seconds" trope to Star Citizen in a way.
I really like your playstyle. I am learning so manynew things and constantly find new ways to appreciate this game. Thanks!
I like to do all the various gameplay loops from bounties to salvage. I love that there are plenty of options for things to do in Star Cit can't wait for more to be added!!! Love the videos keep it up
Great video! My favorite thing to do in SC is the Orison platform missions. It pays well and I get to shoot bad guy. Thanks for letting me enter for the 100i
I still have my 325a original pledge.
Itd be cool if in the future, SC gave the option to start a new game on a remote planet. Maybe in a distant system, so you had to scavenge and mine your eventual way to your ship or social system. Like a hardcore mode perhaps.
Ive been salvaging, i just like going around salvaging and perhaps hitting the jackpot by finding big cargo from the mission like gold or quantanium or whatever ontop.
always fun trying to fit to big boxes in the valture. And just running around looking getting familiar with the stations i requent. Makes it feel like a home or a rute and helps with immersion.
Love the content by the way, zero to hero series is by far my favorit. But i usually get all the news via ur channel aswell, just to keep it tidy :P
Keep up the good work
Love your videos! I love flying around in the corsair an taking in the views or cargo hauling with the hull c when its working
The most fun for me is when i play with my small group of people and we go pirate cargo runners and have epic FPS battles in their ship and space around it. Aswell as the epic battles before bording them since a lot of people actually seem to have escorts now wich i love, makes it harder for us but also so much more imersive and fun ^^
I love your content and especially off grid plays. I like to do more off grid too and maybe mine in the caves more often. The Origin 100i looks cool!
Really, I have always enjoyed just hanging with friends doing random stuff, finding fun things we didn't know about before, and trying gameloops we rarely play. Ngl tho, living off grid sounds like lots of fun.
SnoochyBoochy's favorite gameplay loop is spending the time to outfit each of my favorite ships with all my gear... and take them for casual flights around microTech's ecosystems. Each ship gets food and drink, several armor sets in theme to the ship, various weapons for the weapon racks, clothes for daily/occasional wear... All standardized. And then I just... Tour!
Thank you for your hard work with these vids, Ryan, and thank you for the generous giveaways!
Ive been spending 6 years or so teaching new players how to get past the daunting start, that is star citizen, always showing them what ia possible with what they have. Seeing your videos on UA-cam has allowed me to provide examples of more organic gameplay. Thank you for all you do for the community.
I absolutely love diving into Star Citizen! For me, the most thrilling experiences come from engaging in player bounties and exploring planets, especially places like MicroTech. There's something about the intense combat encounters and the satisfaction of tracking down and dealing with targets that really gets my adrenaline pumping. On the flip side, exploring planets, especially the intricacies of MicroTech, is a visual feast. The detailed environments, hidden locations, and dynamic weather systems make each exploration feel like a unique adventure. It's awesome how Star Citizen caters to different preferences, and I can't wait to see how the game continues to evolve with each update, bringing even more excitement to my favorite activities.
the best thing in this game is communicate with others for me. The community is awesome, either for a novice players with all the help and instructions or even training routes experienced players gives, either for a stories and situations that it could make. So everytime im on a server with a quick o7 trying to find a crew or a one player to fly with doing the stuff they want. Last time i teamed up with a griefer actually, who shot me down almost completely, but i managed to land my ship, and ran from it before the boom. And the guy picked me up and took for a several salvage missions with him giggling long the way about the stuff that happened with us in this game. Man, awesome experience, wish i could do it mor often
The thing I love most about SC is exploring. There’s just something about discovering a cool location that’s totally new to you. This is partly why I’m so excited for the new distribution centers and pyro
I love this videos. Historically, I run basic missions: box missions, low to medium bounties, and just a lot of time being a loot goblin in outposts. Since watching your videos, I've started trying out living off the grid in a cutter on Hurston. It's been a lot of fun and nice to slow down the grind of missions and actually pay attention to my surroundings.
I love getting more friends into the game and helping them out and having fun.
I found the most enjoyment I’ve had is bringing it back to the basics. Enjoying the process of exploring landing zones and outposts. Sitting down to eat that hotdog, go clothes shopping at Microtech, jump in my most modest ship and do a delivery mission. Step out of my ship at an outpost and just take a minute to look at the sky and the horizon. Listen to the mining drills pumping into the ground. Dance solo at the Nightclub in MT after having a few beers. That’s a pretty good space life if you ask me.
I like a bit of light salvage...tour the spots and see what has been left lying around:)
My "loop" as it were... has been assisting others getting started. Teaching them how to become efficient at what they do and work smarter, not harder.
I focus on legal aspects of the game as well as occasionally doing extreme zero to hero to keep myself sharp and up to date on the most current meta, mostly for the loops of commodities trading and mining.
Every community has its share of asshats but Star Citizen has far and above the best community in gaming.
Not a day goes by where I am not stunned by the generosity of this community.
Commodities trading is my main loop as it is incredibly relaxing and lucrative. It allows me to assist others in building their own empires and as a side result having many friends to assist when I have large endeavors that require group effort.
Always enjoy your Zero to Hero organic videos. Best of luck with them.
I’m quite new in the game i just bought my first starter pack after saving money for it, but so far i love exploring the planets so much just fly around to some container missions or trade to earn some extra to refuel my ship to continue enjoying exploring! 😊
My favorite thing to do right now is what my friends call "storage wars" where you take a small cargo ship and you buy the salvage contracts just to pry open the cargo bay. Sometimes you win big! sometimes you... don! lol
My favorite thing is feeling resourceful and minimal in game. My favorite ship right now is the Cutter Scout with a Mule in the back with a 1scu crate in the back and going to hostile bunkers, driving in, and looting to my heart's content.
Great video I love the camerawork you put in!!
For me the most enjoyable gameplay either solo or teamed up is going to the new evict missions with 1 gun some ammo and tools (Pyro/Medgun). To seeing how far I can get just suriving off the hostiles and local loot if it's a good run I come back with tonnes of guns ammo and new armor sets to play around with.
I might want to do something like this with a 400i bought in-game.
I despise the thing's combat potential, but it has the single best living space in the game, i.m.o.
Hey Mac, I enjoy just being in the verse. I putz around a lot - sometimes I accomplish things but other times I just enjoy reading chat and seeing what others are doing. Otherwise I enjoy Mining and hauling my refined Ore, bunker missions and box delivery when i'm feeling really low-key!
While I have a variety of ships, I enjoy being immersed in the system with a small ship like a Cutter Rambler or Aurora MR. Typically, that means doing deliveries or just flying around, finding a good spot and camping. That's actually the reason why I clicked this video, the off-the-grid living. The 'verse is so beautiful!
Usually my favorite gameplay is running cargo, though recently I've found more pleasure in simply exploring moons and planets in my Mustang with no goal or profit in mind. That's been mostly thanks to seeing you play.
I always liked running box missions & then jumped to salvage gameplay as I found that a calm and relaxing gameplay situation.
What I enjoy most about playing Star citizen is the community and doing big events in the community like damar rally or even org vs org stuff just playing a game that big of a landscape of Star citizen is amazing and keeps me coming back.
I bought a package January 2023 and have barely even logged on to play. I watched videos from time to time to see how the game is progressing and then I found your channel and you started "living off the grid" and thought, ...this is how I would love to play the game. Its chill and relaxing and with a chance of danger as well. Don't get me wrong, the intense pvp and such sounds great but the "chill" way of playing seems up my alley. Love the series.
I just love exploring and finding hidden areas to chill and hangout with people. Messing about and enjoying the game with friends.
I love this series you do for living off grid. It's inspired me to do the very same thing. Star Citizen is what we make it and doing a nomad type zero to hero is such a blast. It's breathed more life into the alpha for me.
As someone that lives offgrid in remote Alaska for several months a year I really enjoy how famalier this feels . Really a big fan of self sustaining options without getting to involved with the rest of the verse . Great video :)
i absolutely love "camping" out every time i log out instead of just disconecting, i go on a planet find a cool spot and stay the night
I pretty much like to do all of the things SC offers. However, when I see bugs, it actually gets me somewhat excited to see if there are workarounds and that give me a purposeful puzzle. SC seems to be pretty forgiving in this respect. The person that knows the workaround is the hero. The ship just sitting there, I think, is indicative of a ship that hasn't been claimed yet and was ina smallcrash since there are boxes around it. Those boxes could have been the storage from the ship converted into boxes that typically happens when a ship crashes or a soft death. The doors may have been opened by other players shooting them open.
I like to mine on foot or in land vehicle. Also just flying around to random locations to explore. I really like these off-grid videos, it's nice and relaxing way to play.
Exploring and salvage are what I enjoy in the verse
A friend and I are running a two person zero to hero based off your videos. We're in a Reliant Kore hitting settlements on Hurston trying to make a living.
Currently I've been enjoying doing the small little missions. Such as delivering boxes and searching caves for lost people. I had been doing bunkers and bounties so long that it's nice to slow down and enjoy the small slow missions in order to just sit back and enjoy the experience/scenery.
10:30 - Right-Click on the object you want and click carry. Will allow you to carry it in a box back to your ship
Such a cool way to play! I have watched so many different UA-camrs gameplay videos, and I like them just fine, but often it starts to feel same-y, if that makes sense. This is the type of exploration I have always imagined myself doing when I get the game. Keep it up!
A lot of the different gameplay can feel same-y. But this a lot of different gameplay to break it up.
Most play with a plan and seek that plan. But if you go in with no plan and take flight, something usually comes up that is unusual. Curiosity never dies.
I spent 4 hours last night bombing practice and low and slow flight exploration.
@@festersmith8352 That sounds absolutely right up my alley! Hopefully I win this giveaway, but if not do you think it's worth it buying into the game at this time?
@@Waybreaker You're asking my opinion, which can differ from yours when you experience it.
From a basic gamer stand point, I payed $110 for a starter pack over a decade ago and have had thousands of hours of fun in SC. And I still enjoy it. Way worth it.
For $45 you have the opportunity for the same thing. But your personal character is the determining factor of whether or not its worth to you.
If you lack patience, perseverance, or common sense, you will be pushed to your limit. Its titled as an aloha and you should expect the things that you might expect as such.
SC is currently looking at some good big changes coming soon, we have desired for some time. And with those is even more shortly after, we hope.
The plan is, that you will never have to spend anymore to continue to play the ever expanding verse that is to be far more than what we have now. But I do expect the price to increase in time.
Its an opportunity to live in the most detailed space life you can hope for in your life time. Those the project is far from complete at this time. But you are free to play it as you wish. Much like Mac has done for many years.
If you do not like it, I believe you can refund within the first 30 days.
Learning it now while its still incomplete, and growing with the expanse of it is a good idea. Be a lot easier to grasp now than in the future. Even now has the complexity has turned some away. Lack of perseverance, or common sense.
I'd like to know what you decide.
And be happy to be personal one on one guide for your first few steps in the verse. Guides really do help make the learning more tolerable. Just don't recommend you do it in a group.
Feel free to ask more, if you seek specific information. YT is not the best at notifications though.
Can private chat in Discord if that works better for you.
Helldivers 2 is huge among gamers right now, and many love it. But I look at it, and it just looks stressful to me. So it doesn't seem worth it to me. Thats my opinion though.
SC is very relaxing, with the occasional excitement you may want in an adventure.
Every few days me and my friend jump on our ships, choose a moon or planet to land on and spend the rest of the evening chatting about life while looking at sunset/sunrise. We found it the nicest way to have a chat since we live far away from each other.
I love just landing on planets, exploring and walking along interesting areas and gazing at the sky above.
My favorite thing to do in Star Citizen is do go around in my dragonfly and explore planets while watching Netflix. Love seeing how beautiful this game is.
What I like to do most in Star Citizen is get together with my group of friends and do bunker missions, or some hunting, sometimes just exploring and seeing the beauty of the game.
Honestly I love the whole prepping for adventure before heading out into the verse, getting all my things organized.
Just started this year, very overwhelming game but worth the exploration and meeting random ppl. Keep at it with these videos.
My favorite gameplay loop is medical. It keeps me on my toes because rarely does someone send out a medical beacon while they're in a safe location.
I'm still pretty fresh to it all, coming up to 1 month in the 'verse. But so far I'm really enjoying salvaging, being a space scrapper and bringing with it exploration and the thrill of not knowing what else you might find or where you might go. I'm doing it all by hand at the moment, so mixing it up with bunker missions to bring in some extra funds, with the aim that one day soon I'll get that Vulture.
This kind of gameplay let us know how big Star Citizen already is. I was for a month having an SRV as my home, somedays just hanging aroud. It was just amazing.
I run ERT's with my guys. We usually look the wrecks and then salvage. We can generally make a few mill each per mission. Decent group play for us. Really enjoy your videos. Good mix of information and game play. I constantly check the sub list to see if you have another video even though I ha ent gotten a notification yet lol. Keep up the good work!!
Currently my favorite thing to do is more or less the same off grid living scenarios you've done in your videos. Although in my case the emphasis is exploration, visiting settlements and points of interest. I love scouting locations purely for the scenery as well. The more remote the better.
I mostly live around Micro-Tech, doing bunkers, the occasional bounty, and lots of exploring. I love coming across random player ships, and lost cargo. If you happen to come across my Cutlass Black believe me you will have found a loot jackpot, by-the-way those lockers on the flight deck are shared storage, I use mine for a change of clothes, ammo and stuff for myself. Normally I keep a 2SCU in the cargo area for loot, which I am always happy to share, it isn't unusual to come across some random player that needs a multi-tool or backpack.
Honestly I just like flying around in the ships. The ships are the real characters in the game, IMO, and just being in them, tooling around, enjoying the ship spaces, is heaven to me.
I've only been playing for a few months. I get the most enjoyment out of mining at the moment. I usually solo mole, but I do a fair amount of ROC mining. I appreciate your solo game play videos. Keep up the great work!!
The 100i is a great little ship! With the bed, some cargo space for boxes, and unlimited hydrogen fuel, it's great for the type of gameplay you've been doing.
I sometimes like to look out a space-station window watching ship/hangers and listening to ambient music.
In my case, I like doing delivery missions, but what I enjoy the most right now is just zooming around Stanton, finding places I haven't visited yet, going to city to city, planet to planet, just visiting the verse at the end of the day ! By gaming standards it's not doing a lot but Star Citizen allow that and it's SO good ^^
What I like doing in SC is savaging. Taking my Vulture into space and doing an honest days work. The pay back is really great also. When I'm looking to relax, flying around exploring Microtec is really enjoyable. Its such a beautiful planet. I cant wait for them to flesh out more of it.
Pretty much enjoy all game loops but sometimes just flying around doing deliveries and taking in all the sights. Great stuff.
