Playing with friends and others you meet online is one of the best ways to enjoy and get introduced to the game. Within the 'verse, there are special "simulators" that allow citizens to practice their skills without fear of losing their hard-earned equipment. These can be accessed from the menu after launching the game.
To play these game modules, you will need a Game Package that includes Star Citizen on your RSI Account.
For Star Citizen Alpha, Arena Commander is accessed through the main menu and consists of single player and multiplayer game modes for open flying, first-person based combat, dog-fighting, and ship racing.
This also includes a few select game modes that can be enjoyed offline for when a player wishes to practice their various flight and engagement skills in private. There are even special perks for completing certain modes!
