About

Mobimatch

Mobimatch is the fastest way to find teammates for Star Citizen. Post a beacon, answer an SOS, and meet your crew in a Discord voice channel created automatically. No chat digging, no waiting. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your account in one tap: Google, Apple or email address. 2. Post a beacon for what you need: - Activity (blue): build a team to mine, explore or haul cargo. - Transport (green): you need a lift or a resupply. - Combat (amber): urgent escort or defense. - Medical (red): you are down and need a revive. 3. Other players join or respond, and a private Discord voice channel is created automatically for your crew. You link your Discord account once, when you post or join your first beacon. That is what creates the voice channel. WHY MOBIMATCH - Fast: a crew in seconds. - Clear: beacons are sorted by urgency and color coded. - Free: no purchase, no real money. - Voice built in: the Discord channel is created and cleaned up automatically. Mobimatch is built on the Streamer Forge community. The app is not affiliated with Cloud Imperium Games (Star Citizen) or Discord.
