Hey! When I was a kid, I lived on the back of a farm, I used to bring my dad’s hammer down to the dry creek bed with my friends and we’d break crystals out of the rocks. We eventually moved on to venturing deeper into the farmers property (after getting permission from the farmer) collecting sticks and bringing string to build bows and arrows to explore the creek bed as it snaked through the rural Australian countryside. We made a “secret base” out of a tree about a 30 minute walk deep into the property away from everything, where my friends and I would have solace from adults. We’d make swords, light little campfires, basically just like scouts but without supervision. We’d encounter wildlife, wild foxes, the farmers cows, spiders and snakes absolutely capable of killing us (emphasis on Australia). We’d gather resources from what was left behind by farmers of generations past. There were piles of old trash, car doors, old bottles, and made our own world. I’m 26 now, a Dad to a 5 year old girl, living in a capital city in Australia about 3 hours from where I grew up. I often crave the freedom and experience I enjoyed so uniquely as a kid, and I’ve been watching these videos before I go to sleep and it’s the closest thing I’ve been able to find to the same quiet, curiosity and wonder that I experienced as a kid, SO long story short, thank you for sharing this content on UA-cam. I don’t own a gaming rig, and I need to save some serious money for emergencies as a Dad now that living expenses are so high, but when I have enough to feel comfortable enough to support my daughter in any scenario, I will be saving to get a gaming pc to experience this gameplay style myself, to relive my childhood, though I will be honest, I want to wait for base building to 100% realise my nostalgia of childhood. Obviously my childhood didn’t include space ships but in my head, I may as well have been flying in one, as the experience of growing up like that was magic and sorely under appreciated until it was too far gone. Thanks again for sharing, these videos are important to me getting through these weeks of mundane repetitive work with the promise of experiencing this ultimate escapism one day in my future.
Love you’re off grid video. In my case I only play for fast money, makes some HRTs etc. But in you’re case, it’s a playstyle, that every SC Player should be played. Chilled and explorational.
One day I hope to be able to afford a PC that runs the game as well as in this video. Sadly, both my parents seem to be in good health, so I'll just have to suffer for now.
The overheating issue is from boosting at full power to thrust with stock cooling. But yeah C.O. ship are great gems hope to see them get a useful rework for MM
A no ship zero to hero starting with a ROC at Lorville might be a good start. New Babbage would be good too if there was a ship dealer. I suppose you could rent something at NBIS and fly to Lorville to buy a ship.
7:50 is the exact location I was thinking of in my previous comment. If the AI is working in 3.23, watching the Kopion run out of the woods to begin eating people is going to be both amazing and horrifying. Actually can't wait. I know, I know, the AI is rarely alive.
Nomad is cute, but it’s basically a “space pickup truck.” The second ship I bought fort “real money” was the Cutty Black, and I used it to run Agricium” back about 3.14 or 3.15 when CIG was doing a full wipe in every update, and I got tired of doing deliveries to earn every thing back after every update. Love your vids and your imagination!
The nomad overheats if you leave the q drive on while flying around. In some more difficult planets drop the sheilds so they don't overheat. It's odd cause im fairly sure it's one of the only ships with this kind of issue.
I love using the Nomad as a mini carrier for either the ROC or lately my STV. In both cases it turned out that those carryable loot crates you can find in settlements still fit onto the cargo grid alongside the car. Not enough for looting scu containers of course, but a nice trunk box As for the cooling problems: Never had that either. But i did swap out the power plant after apparently oberburdening it a few times
Haven't been ROC mining in ages. This Inert Materials thing caught me off guard. I wonder if that's how the mineral nodes will be from now on? Great choice on the Nomad. It's such and underrated ship. Loving the series!
Hey, Mac...another great off grid video! Personally my favorite ship for ROC mining is the Valkyrie 😁. Love the looks of the dropship and the space it offers to store a couple of vehicles. You can take the ROC for mining and some other vehicle for exploration on your expeditions. Yes, I know with the cost of over 4 million in game credits it is not the cheapest option there but I find it gives me everything I need in a ship and most of all it does not overheat 👍
@@Bell_the_Cat That would honestly be sick too, like if at some point we could tame or train them. it would really make that oracle helmet with the recon cape look even more baller to be flanked by the two hounds.
Really like my nomad But had both problems you described initially. Both went away after components upgrades. One other minor problem with it (but not unique to the nomad) I like to run mixed weapons, and setting gun a to left mouse button and gun b to right mouse button will only stay that way until you store the ship & just reverts back to all weapons being on left mouse button. Only two ships i have that don't have this minor problem is the cutlass black and aurora. And I'd assume its because the cutlass black is a mixed loadout stock & the aurora only having the two guns stock. Could be others as I'm far from having every in game ship, but as of now the two listed above is the only two that don't have that annoying factory reset option when the ship gets stored.
Love your style of gameplay, I've said this before and will all the time SMB. Waiting for the next patch also, hopefully most players will be out in Pyro "causing havoc and mayhem" then I will try to do what you're doing myself in Stanton somewhere :)
Getting ships and vehicles needs to be a grind. People buying all the end game ships are selling themselves out of most of the experience. Imagine being able to buy flying mounts in WoW classic before the game was released.
As someone who has purchased every ship I like... You are correct. I do find myself lacking in a reason to continually play for a length of time. Once all of them are upgraded, I feel a little bored.
@@festersmith8352 When there’s a last call. Melt them for a bunch of early game ships. This depends on how insurance gets changed but my thinking is having ships scattered around ready to be used is useful without cheating yourself out of the experience.
@@MrFelixify Ya I’m referring to when the game releases. As this video was implying. A sneak peek of what having a base is like. Right now, there’s not an experience really. Just a series of disjointed ones.
Just finished the zero to hero hardcore series you’ve got~ That was excellent!!! :D Think the no ship life could be how people get in free to play when the verse goes live?
Nomad's power plant overheats because it doesn't have enough heat dissipation for three shields. If I recall it has 70 while it needs 71. I wish CIG updated all starter ships already...
I think it would add a lot more if they focused on little creatures first. I dunno...maybe it's somehow more complicated. But it seems stuff that fills the niche of birds/squirrels/insects would have more simple behaviors and less necessity for programming interaction while adding the feel of a much more living and populated world. Basically just things that add sound to the environment and dart around from tree to tree/hole to hole/flutter from place to place etc etc. The big dramatic ones add way more gameplay but it seems like way more complicated behavior to program that's likely to add stress to the system, break things, and end up with dogs on chairs. After all that, the result will be that you have some random dogs roaming around...the worlds will still feel mostly lifeless and empty.
I love the Nomad. I quickly upgraded to it after starting. The only things that hurt it are the fuel consumption, overheating issues and the orange HUD. I hate the HUD. If they would offer something like it in a slightly larger version (with a larger living space), I would buy it. Whereas the Origin ships (400i and 600i) are nice with their various accoutrements, they're too fancy for my tastes. I don't want a space yacht, I want a house-boat. My Corsair is a bit too sparse, though. Something in between. Retaliator living module maybe? Also, you should go ahead and mine the rocks with higher quantity of inert material. You still get gems and it's more efficient to pick up a few extra while you're already there than fly around looking for higher yield specimens.
I think the standard keybind is left Alt + Z (or Y on a qwertz-layout), if not you find it under "vehicles - Seats and Operator Modes" in the advanced keybind options ... it is literally the third entry

Definitely check out "The Forest (2)" if you're looking for that building life as well :)
Awesome story.
I understand this to my core. I grew up much the same and there’s really nothing that can compare. When I go camping I get that sense of freedom again
Thanks! I really love these Off-Grid game vids.
Oof thanks for the SChat mate o7. Looking forward to off griding in 3.23
Legend has it that the forest has a wild SuperMac that wanders the woods.
There's a Cutlass Steel parked in my parking place. Get an SRV over here right away and have it removed.
My main way to get action is Roc mining, its great to see others mining out around the System!
Nice show Mac!
It shows that SC isn't just the combat simulation that floods the media about the verse.
Surprised to see a Steel at all in the verse.
Awesome cinematic video. Especially that shot down cutlass steel part
RPG based gameplay videos are always fun. You do a good job at them.
I have to say, I really like watching you fly Mac. You can tell you have put in the hours.
Love you’re off grid video. In my case I only play for fast money, makes some HRTs etc. But in you’re case, it’s a playstyle, that every SC Player should be played. Chilled and explorational.
I really like your game style. I just play like you. Not maximising profits, just playing and having fun. 😊
Love it mac. I really hope when they allow base building we get some sort of mobile base we can unpack and repack up ie tent etc.
One day I hope to be able to afford a PC that runs the game as well as in this video. Sadly, both my parents seem to be in good health, so I'll just have to suffer for now.
Maybe one day we don’t need to buy an expensive pc
Look into what is called a bare bones kit, lower cost means to get the pc you want as long as you are willing to get your hands dirty.
And oh boy do you need one
I have the opposite problem working 7 days a week and having a family. I have a 4090 machine and barely more than a minute of time to play.
Eh ..my wife's 700€ pc runs the game fine at stable 40fps

Looks really fun! I'll have to grab a ROC at Lorville and fly my cutty black around to do some mining.
Love ROC mining and the Nomad! The nomad will only suffer from the overheating and power loss if you upgrade anything. stock it should be good.

Thanks for your great Z2H series'. They've really been guiding my experiences and work sessions lately.
I cant figure out what the rear camera button is. 😅
And do you have other Off-Grid allies in the Verse?
It's unassigned by default, you need to go into the detailed control settings and look under 'cockpit' I think.
In some UA-cam videos, star citizen graphics really don’t look good - but in this one it looks so nice, taking off with the setting sun - lovely.
dofferent setting, different output. try search star citizen ultra
One thing I don’t like about the nomad is that it overheats a lot
Can you clear something up I haven’t played in a while. So you can find random unowned ships laying about and take em? Can you sell them?
Take them if you can break into them. Theres limits and gameplay to that.
Salvage them, yes.
Sell them, no. In the future, yes.
Moreland Hills? Never heard of that one, or Razor's Edge. How do you find these places?
Hey Mac, love these off grid vids. Would you mind sharing your in game tobii settings? Your movements seem way smoother than mine. Thanks
I love your videos and how you play the game. Very cool.
Nomad's power plant overheats because it doesn't have enough heat dissipation for three shields. If I recall it has 70 while it needs 71.
I wish CIG updated all starter ships already...
Thx for sharing that info. I'd just tried the Nomad this patch, got the overheating, and replaced the coolers to no effect.
@@robwoodring9437 Replace it for literally anything except SonicLite or PowerBolt. Should solve your issue
Would you mind telling what cpu/gpu your using to film this? Game looks great on your system.
It's just going to get better!
3.23 is going to be a game changer.
I can't wait to see animal life at planets. It's gonna be huge 😊
Hey how do you manage the engine power in ground vehicles? I always wanted to be able to scroll and define a throttle as with a ship
I wanted to love the nomad, but the fuel consumption wore me down.
How is he driving the ROC so slowly did they implement the analogue speed for it?
All of the vehicles have analog axes for throttle and direction. You have to map them. This is not new.
Good stuff!
can't wait for the creatures to show up
to see them stand in a cluster somewhere like the npc right🤫
