 FAQ:
>the framerate sucks! I have [cutting edge GPU(s)] and I'm STILL getting [shitty FPS].
yeah. the problem is server side and will likely get worse before it gets better, which is hopefully within a patch or two. For now, try some of these http://www.redacted.tv/custom-user-cfg-guide-star-citizen-alpha-2-x/  other than that, all you can do is wait.

>what's the difference between REC and aUEC?
REC is "fake" money earned and spent in EA modes only; you can rent ships and upgrades for arena commander and star marine (not yet in SM, Coming Soon™!) with it, aUEC(alpha UEC) is "real" money for buying things in the persistent universe. REC spending can only be done on the RSI website.

>where can I buy a better ship/ship guns with my aUEC?
you can't yet. Coming Soon!™ in the mean time you can spend UEC (NOT aUEC, you won't get this back) on the website for ship armaments, or hang around the station pads and steal a ship that looks nice.
