Operator Mode: SCM / NAV
Docking involves a unique Pilot HUD available on select Sub-Capital & Capital ships manufactured with Docking Collars. This often acts as the primary (Default) space station landing option when requesting permission from ATC (Air Traffic Control).
When Active, the pilot’s HUD will appear as shown in the image above, indicating Distance, Pitch, Yaw, and Roll, along with various circles. The Pilot will need to navigate the ship’s position until all circles are properly aligned, indicated by turning green. Positioning for proper alignment can vary based on the ship’s layout and docking collar placement.
When properly aligned, Automatic Docking is recommended.
Operator Mode: NAV (Navigation)
Quantum Travel is possible for all vehicles equipped with a Quantum Drive. These come in a variety of Sizes (1-4), and utilize Quantum Fuel to travel significant distances within a Solar System or Planetary System.
The HUD consists of 5 components:
This mode allows the Pilot or Turret operator to zoom and target specific components & sections of a vehicle.
Operator Mode: SCM / NAV SCN (Scanning)
This interface works with MFD Scanning. Performing this task will share the information to all Vehicle Stations.
Operator Mode: SCM MSL
When Target Lock is within Missile/Torpedo Range (Range Finder), Missile lock will begin with broken Circle Display. When Circle is complete, armed Missiles/Torpedoes are ready to deploy.

To pilot a ship within The Galactic Order, there are a number of different requirements that must be met, depending on the ship or situation. To maintain structure and ensure stability, the Galactic Order has 3 different Pilot Licenses available, each with different limitations and benefits.
Level 0: Provisional Pilot (Overview)
- Temporary license.
- Provisional Pilots may operate ships/vehicles for Patrols.
- Limited from anything critical for a mission, transportation of high value target, 2 or more Commanders, a member of High Leadership (Rank 4+) or Cargo exceeding 500,000 aUEC in value.
- Automatically given to:
Level 1: Approved Pilot (Overview)
- Official license.
- Approved Pilots may operate ships/vehicles for Patrols and Events.
- Subject to periodical review.
Approved Pilot license can be obtained once endorsed by any of the following potential Pilot Instructors:
Endorsement must be submitted (in writing) to the Provisional Pilot’s superior 1st Officer or Captain, for final approval.
- This step is necessary to ensure competency and trust for the Pilot’s knowledge, experience, and skills.
- AKA, proof Pilot good!
When an approved Pilot is promoted or demoted into a role that is not typically approved for flying, their Approved license will go from Active to Conditional, allowing them to fly during Patrols & Events only when no other pilots are available.
Level 2: Certified Pilot (Overview)
- Official license.

- CC Pilot Progenitor
- CC Pilot Engineer Commander
- Member of CC Pilot Leadership Division
Endorsement must be submitted (in writing) to the Provisional Pilot’s superior 1st Officer or Captain, for final approval.
- This step is necessary to ensure competency and trust for the Pilot’s knowledge, experience, and skills.
- AKA, proof Pilot good!
- Polaris
- Idris-P Frigate
- Idris-K Frigate
- Idris-M Frigate
- Javelin Destroyer

- Kraken Privateer
When a CC Pilot is promoted or demoted into a role that is not typically approved for flying, this licensee will go from Active to Conditional, allowing them to fly during Patrols & Events only when no other pilots are available.
Disclaimer: Priority Transport parameters include anything critical for a mission, transportation of high value target, 2 or more Commanders, a member of High Leadership (Rank 4+) or Cargo exceeding 500,000 aUEC in value.

These weapons penetrate between 20% to 60% of shields, dealing damage directly to a vehicle's hull. These do not use energy, generate minimal to zero heat or signature when firing and travel greater distances than energy weapons without loss of efficacy. Rapid-firing types are also ideal for point defense against missiles and torpedoes. However, ballistic projectiles are generally slower than energy projectiles and have limited ammunition.
-
Ballistic Repeaters
These weapons first Temporarily deplete shields before damaging a ship’s Hull. They use energy, generate heat & signature when powered on, significant heat & signature while firing, and travel lesser distances than ballistic projectiles. However, they have potentially infinite reserves of ammo (drawing from vehicle power to recharge), making them ideal for prolonged combat engagements. This also helps to reduce supplies & weapon maintenance.
-
Laser Repeaters
These weapons are a variant of Energy Weapons, inflicting strong electrical discharges rather than thermal damage. They deal no damage to a ship’s hull, but inflict significant damage to shields. When shields are depleted, shots to a ship’s hull will degrade power systems and component performance. These disable ships without destroying them, making for an ideal choice with Law Enforcement, Bounty Hunting and Pirating. With exception to damage use, Distortion Weapons share the same properties as Energy Weapons.
-
Distortion Repeaters
TGO Tip: Against Fighters and ships smaller than Sub-Capital, Repeaters are recommended Size: 1-4.
TGO Tip: Against Ground Turrets, Sub-Capital & Capital ships, Cannons are recommended Size: 5+.
Missiles & Torpedoes are self-propelled, guided projectiles with a variety of different characteristics, the 2 Primary of which are Guidance Systems & Payloads.
TGO Tip: Evasive maneuvers are highly recommended against all Guidance Systems, in addition to any preventative measures already listed.
TGO Tip: Missiles are fast, but deal less damage than Torpedoes, and range Sizes: 1-4.
TGO Tip: Torpedoes are slow, but deal more damage than Missiles, and range Sizes: 5-10.
TGO Tip: Bombs have larger Areas of Effect, but require Gravity, and range up to Sizes: 5 & 10.
TGO Tip: All Missile Guidance Systems can be avoided through experienced piloting and evasive maneuvers.
Star Citizen has 3 Turret Types: Manned, Remote and PDC.
Note: Currently, all ship Turrets are set, based on the ship's development design, and cannot be switched out between Remote, Manned and Automated.
TGO Tip: Missile Launchers may be attached to some turrets.
The Galactic Order holds 2 classifications for Turret Operation: Primary & Secondary.
This section will be updated upon the release of 4.0
