Purpose of the guide
The site is for new players who first want to understand what Star Citizen is, what hardware it needs, how registration and Game Packages work, and what to keep in mind when getting started. All content is available in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish.
The aim is not to cover every specialist question in exhaustive detail. What matters more is a clear introduction without artificial pressure to buy, exaggerated promises or unnecessary jargon.
Sources and updates
Star Citizen changes frequently. Time-sensitive topics such as referral rules, system requirements, events, Free Fly periods, Game Packages and official promotions are therefore checked against official RSI sources wherever possible.
Official information can change. Before registering, buying or joining an event, always check the latest information on the RSI website as well.
If you spot a factual error or an outdated link, please report it in the guide's GitHub issue tracker so it can be corrected.
Independence and transparency
sc-start.com is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with Cloud Imperium Games, Roberts Space Industries or any related company. Star Citizen, Roberts Space Industries and Cloud Imperium Games belong to their respective rights holders.
Using the referral code on this site does not require a purchase. New players receive the same standard official starting bonus offered by any other valid referral code. If the account later meets RSI's official requirements for a qualified referral, the operator of this guide may receive a referral point or an official reward. This does not cost the new player anything extra.
