Gameplay Mechanics

The Mechanics of Star Citizen define the capabilities of the game and the players within. Defined in many of the Comm-Links, they serve as the primary gameplay of both Star Citizen and Squadron 42; though some mechanics may not be present in both games.

Character
Character mechanics are the mechanics supporting the development, activities, and eventual death of each player character in Star Citizen.

Ship Mechanics
Ship mechanics are the systems and controls that allow players to build, utilize, and work with the various Ships in Star Citizen.

Careers
Careers are the jobs and systems that allow players to earn UEC and other currencies in Star Citizen; whether acting as a contracted miner under Shubin Interstellar or liberating haulers of their cargo in open space.

Note: There are far more ways to earn money than are listed here when including unofficial transactions between players. As such, these are the "official" careers that are supported by ship designs, Comm-links, and documentation
