Even in the alpha state of Star Citizen, I’ve found numerous things to do. From being a space pilot exploring space and battling pirates, to customizing my character and exploring the various space stations. It all started with choosing my primary residence.
But as I played more, I began questioning my initial choice. This led me to wondering if I could move my primary residence in Star Citizen. Fortunately, the answer is yes!

How To Choose Your Primary Residence in Star Citizen
You can select a few different options for your primary residence in Star Citizen. Any location that has a space port allows you to switch it to your primary residence. This includes planets and spaceports. That said, I recommend choosing your primary residence in a location where you explore the most and spend a majority of your time.
