How to Use a Tractor Beam for Cargo in Star Citizen

Equip a tractor beam, target a physical cargo container, then use the beam’s on-screen prompts to lift and guide it into your ship’s open cargo bay. Set the container down on a compatible cargo grid and wait for it to settle or snap into place. If it will not attach, reposition it on a clear section of grid or use a ship with a usable cargo hold.

Star Citizen How to Refuel a Ship: Fuel Checks

To refuel a ship in Star Citizen, use a station or landing-service location that offers Refuel, then start the service and wait for the fuel readout to rise. If you are stranded away from a service point, use a compatible ship-to-ship refueling interaction when another player can assist. Confirm the updated fuel level before departing.

Star Citizen How to Scan Ships and Identify Contacts

In Star Citizen, use the scan action assigned in your current keybindings, point it toward a nearby ship, and select the correct contact through the HUD or tactical display. Confirm that the contact readout updates before treating the ship as identified. Exact controls and displayed fields can change, so do not rely on older guide keybinds.
