Careers

There are many ways to get your hands on those coveted aUEC in the universe. The careers in Star Citizen are very different from each other, and each one has its own demands on ships, equipment and play style.

Some activities run through the mission system. You accept contracts, complete them and improve your reputation step by step. As your reputation grows, new, better-paid and more challenging missions become available.

Other careers work completely independently of the mission system. Often all it takes is climbing into your ship and getting to work yourself, for example by searching for resources or trading goods.

What makes Star Citizen special: You don’t have to commit to one career. You can try out whatever you enjoy most at any time and switch between different activities. Some players specialize heavily and build a career in one area, while others stay flexible and pursue several careers at once.
