To get around the landing beacon not showing up: Don't request to land until you are next to a hangar. If you hit it too early, fly back outside the armistice zone and come back and try again. If you can't find Area 18's spaceport, fly to the Area 18 Quantum mark then fly to heading 260.

You were one of the people that convinced me to play in the first place. Seeing you back is AWESOME!

You can set your throttle in options so you don't need a farward/back key.. Controles, inversions settings, Flight, Flight movement, Throttle farward/backward (yes)

Interesting to hear about all of the bugs and problems... I know they still abound, but I have been fortunate and have had very few issues this patch, with only the occasional unmarked hangar or broken repair services as regulars. At the very least, I hope crash recovery starts working for you... I've had several party members run into issues over the weeks and it's been so wonderful having them spawn right back with me.

Welcome back, and thanks for sharing!

The game certainly improves over time, I just remember how depressing it was a year ago when we were all waiting for 3.18 after basically a year of 3.17.x without any significant changes. Hope that in 2024 progress will accelerate even more with new devs coming from sq42

Excited to have you back!

Nice review and welcome back to the verse! The game is changing a lot lately now that S42 is feature complete and developers are moving over to the PU. These are exciting times for Star Citizen players! So much more to come in the next couple of years!

Hello and welcome back (to Star Citizen) Oearth! I have to say, I was really pleased to see you back in-game over the last few weeks and despite the fantastic work you've done with Space Engineers stuff, I am very excited to see you doing some Star Citizen content again. I also can relate to much of you "returning to Star Citizen" experience. As I've often said, I've played ever patch since launch, but the amount of time I spent in game has varied a lot and to be honest, since 3.17, I've popped into SC, but I've spent most of my time playing Conan Exiles and Starfield, but with 3.21, I very much had a bit of a "New Player" feel to the game because, like you, I've reverted to older loops to see how things were playing after such a long layoff. And, finally, YES... It's the draw of Star Citizen that is what seems to define the game for me, and I look forward to seeing where your new adventures in the 'Verse bring you and looking forward to seeing more videos from your play. Cheers! Canuck2099 :)

Awesome video and nice review Not all just positives, respect. I also stepped away and came back I’ve been having a blast. Excited to see new developments pop up here and there. So much potential, also so much wait time lol. Cheers

It's certainly evolved. I have had some epic times recently, although I do take breaks myself from the development. The fanaticism and hours some spend on this game is crazy. I am managing the time I spend in the development project but love it some are addicted. It can still be frustrating at times but rewarding and taking part in the journey and this emence product has been a great journey even though I've supported this with way too much cash and like the recommendation one can buy ships in game.

Thank You & Welcome Back!!

I was the same, haven't played in years and got back into it a few weeks ago. I originally purchased the Connie and absolutely love flying it again. Thanks for the video.

Wipes have become much less devastating. For the last few wipes, I've kept my credits and most of my in-game purchased ships. For the best chance at keeping ships, you want to make sure they are always stored in good shape, not damaged or destroyed. You might have to re-customize your ship components/weapons, but that's a lot better than having to re-acquire the whole ship lol.

Glad to see you are enjoying the game again! I hope you continue to make more Star Citizen videos.

Welcome back Earth - good content.

Glad to see you back and having fun in the game again. I have a feeling you might really like the C1 as a ROC transport ship. Upgraded my Cutty for this and has not let me down yet. Can't wait to see what you do next. o7

This is exactly what i love the most about this game. Just go in a direction and go Mining ot Trading or any sort of peaceful gameplay. Maybe ocasionally having to fight but not all the time.

Welcome back. Missed you

Did you play the PTU or the live version of the game? 3.22 patch is currently is in open PTU right now

Welcome back

Welcome back Oearth, see you in the verse o7. Just came back myself. Its been fun and excited to see what the next year or two brings for SC.

One of the greats has returned now all we need is Gaming with Jim to return

Welcome back to the 'verse. Perhaps you'll continue your adventures with Mobi at some point. I enjoyed that format.

A good time to come back. By the time you feel all caught up, we'll have Pyro to explore

testing out Pyro was fun too

Wow you haven’t played for 2 years? It seems like i was waiting for your next video just a few months ago. How time flies.

Your fleet sounds very similar to mine probably the same idea. I have an avenger tighten a freelancer Max prospector and the

On a train bound for nowhere, I came across a Gambler....You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em...." 😊 YES, The Prospector! Glad to see the old guy back!! Loved the Han Solo reference! "Hey kid...Never tell me the odds...Laugh it up, fuzzball."

The funny thing is, over almost 100 hours i've sunk into the game. I've only lost my cargo twice due to a 30k bug. I've also had the opposite happen where I've gotten double the resources ( 2 1/2 times) due to a 30k bug as well.

Welcome back. Inventory has changed a lot. You might want to relearn it

I stopped playing when the star map ticked me off for the last time 3 years ago. Lately I've been poking my head back but still not jumping in until they replace that crap map.

Welcome back to the 'Verse.

SC is going to be both a forever game and an every game at the same time in 3 years time. Server Meshing needs to come out next year, 2025 will be used to add more star systems and, when the novelty of a new world slows in 26 we will then switch to maximizing space sage on already build worlds and different gameplay loops to justify them. It should be smooth sailing after server meshing till then.

Looking forward to another system circa 2030 👍🏿

I mean this in the best way but do you do corporate training videos when not doing this content?

Tbh the "greifer" situation is non-existent a simple qt away and a few flares and you would easily survive. The game also supports criminal gameplay, skill issue if you cant get away, ive never died once to a "griefer" in my sc career.

3:30 Your food was in the inventory of your old gear, and you probably tried to put on some new gear making you tske off your old one... 4:12 Where you flying in third person? You might not have heard it when they told you to pull over if you where in third person.

spent 2hrs salvaging ships...then spent 4hrs trying to find a place to sell. I really can't wait till live market tracking to be a thing.

U make your own movie while playing this game. You as the hero vs everyone and everything else in the verse

Yeah, this is a ton of us. This game you put away for years once you're sick of the bugs, and then pick it up again once the hype hits you, again.

Welcome back for your next ship I would recommend the SRV it has limited content; but some of them are high value (250K).

yes 3.18 was very bad lol I stopped playing for a bit then I have found my liking for salvage relaxing and if you get a bigger ship to salvage the cargo that may be inside gives you a new challenge as you cant fit it all in the Vulture LOL so I pick up cargo ship first empty what I like and then go to work salvaging the ship even if it takes 4 trips to empty the Vulture small cargo grid. I too go targeted going into land at Lorville I was full but where I was I just managed to launch chaff before I entered the none shooting zone and just manged to stop the missiles hitting me. like you I dont mind Pirate gameplay but if they have blow me up all my cargo would have spread over Lorville where they would not have been able to get to it. so this leads to greifing is still in the game for sure just no at much as it was in the older days of pad ramming.

A "mining" ship returning to station, seems like a prime target to loot the "ore". Dislike people calling fair play "griefing". Although the npc cops should have poped him for engaging that close to a station, unless they haven't fixed that yet...?

Yes. Don't worry it will still suck for upcoming years too

want to play again together?

that is so odd I've never had any issues. :P -inhales copium-

Your not using vtol in that cutty and making your life harder in atmo. Just press K

Welcome back...If you returned to the game during IAE, freefly, jumptown, or siege of orison, it would explain most of these bugs and glitches. The game is so much better than two years ago, I just think you had some bad luck and returned to the game when the servers are at their laggiest.

bunker missions are impossible to finish

This is the video that ''scam citizen'' spamming users need

star citizen got a good citizencon this year and all the haters are coming back for some extra views and likes now lmao.

First, I am better.

Nice overview of returned back players. But, WHY THE HELL THE TITLE MENTIONED 3.22??? For this, I give you my thumb down.

Welcome back
