Field Guide
How to mine, salvage, refuel, haul and find items in Star Citizen — and where to sell. Curated for the org; data shifts patch to patch, so verify prices and stock in-game.
Bounty Hunting
Track and eliminate marked hostiles through the Contract Manager's bounty listings — accept, locate, engage, and collect payout plus reputation with the issuing security org or the Bounty Hunters Guild.
logisticsCargo Hauling
Accept, load, and deliver cargo contracts via the freight-elevator loop — the core flow is unchanged in Alpha 4.9, with kiosk UX polish and Distribution Center tractor-beam access.
explorationExploration
Scan-and-discover loop across Stanton, Pyro, and Nyx — ping and scan for wrecks and resources, jump between systems, and work a dedicated explorer ship's sensor suite.
lookupFinding Items
How to track down where to buy, loot, or craft a specific item — the tool set (UEX, CStone, SC Trade Tools, Erkul.games) and lookup method are durable across patches; only the underlying data refreshes.
combatGround Combat
On-foot combat loop for bunker contracts, mercenary area-clear missions, and Pyro's contested zones — pick a loadout, engage, and extract, plus where to buy weapons and armor.
miningHand Mining And Collection Mining
Handheld multi-tool mining (Pyro RYT + OreBit) for cave/surface gem deposits and Wikelo Carinite farming — durable loop, unchanged into Alpha 4.9.
supportMedical Rescue
Field-stabilize and revive downed players, then deliver them to a medbed matching their injury tier — the Hemozal revive loop, medical beacons, and the dedicated Apollo/Cutlass Red rescue ships.
logisticsRefueling
Ship-to-ship refueling with a Starfarer/Starlite: receiver and tanker flows via mobiGlas Vehicle Maintenance Services — mechanics unchanged into Alpha 4.9.
miningRoc Mining
Greycat ROC surface gem mining — a lower-risk money loop for newer players with a vehicle-carrier ship. Core loop is durable and unchanged into Alpha 4.9.
salvageSalvaging
Hull scraping (RMC) and structural salvage (Construction Materials) with Vulture/Reclaimer, plus hand salvage on foot — core loop unchanged in Alpha 4.9, with filler-station UI and Adagio contract-progression polish.
miningShip Mining
Ship-laser mining loop for Prospector/MOLE/Golem: scan, fracture, extract, refine, and sell — updated for Alpha 4.9's mining laser power buff and long-range scanning workflow.
tradeTrading
Buy-low/sell-high commodity arbitrage across terminals — read live supply and demand via UEX or SC Trade Tools rather than a fixed route, and know legal versus illegal terminals.
wikeloWikelo Emporium
Wikelo Emporium: Banu barter-contract trading at three Stanton stations (Dasi/Selo/Kinga) — collect items, deposit at the specified station, and pick up the reward from that station's local inventory.
