Star Citizen is an upcoming space trading, exploration and combat simulator video game for PC. Star Citizen will consist of two main elements: a persistent world massively multiplayer online game mixing elements of 1st person space combat and interstellar trade (known as Star Citizen) and a branching single-player and drop-in co-operative multiplayer campaign (known as Squadron 42), together with customizable private server components.

Both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are set in a 30th-century Milky Way centered around the fictional UEE (United Empire of Earth), an analogue of the late Roman Empire. A central theme of the game is citizenship (or lack thereof) in the UEE, which must be earned through player actions (such as completing a period of military service). It is anticipated that Citizens will enjoy certain in game benefits, for example paying a reduced tax rate or having easier access to interspecies trade, but the exact details are yet to be determined.

A strong focus will be placed on player interaction, with player behavior influencing and being influenced by a dynamic economy system. Star Citizen is currently being developed by Chris Roberts Cloud Imperium Games, founded in 2011. Roberts' previous works include games such as Wing Commander, Privateer and Freelancer.

Although it would be cool to stroll around your connie once that option becomes available

(believe it wont be the first module).

No doubt! But I think they are nearly done with the Connie, so hopefully we will get to climb in very soon!

Also I updated first post with ship info, so you can direct click on the different ships and get all the info on each

Just upgraded my package from Colonel, to a Rear Admiral and two Digital Mercenarys. The Connie for me, and an Aurora for each of my nephews so we can all ride together, or they can drive their own ship. Now I have 60 bucks of instore credit for anything coming up.

I like the idea of being able to switch items between ships since they are all RSI.

they have trouble with animations so who knows if they manage to do it before thursday. i have now cutlas, 300i and freelancer + lot of skins. will melt the cutlass maybe pledge more to pledge for connie or maybe another 2 freelancers
dont know

there should be as of 28.8 a gamestar coupon code for 10usd so i might use it to buy aurora so i have something to start with. EDIT: a guy tried to use existing coupon and it did not work, so the codes are unique and you must have the newspaper with the dvd ...
i love connie but uglancer has strange character and can be managed by a single person. only fully equipped connie will be able to manage on its own with 3 npc on board

wont buy saitek x65 yet, possible k+m will suffice and then there is a rumor that they will release their own joystick with some vendor be it thrustmaster or saitek

also i dont know what to do if i should go for lti. i might ask go4life for help but i am really not set. i mean i might be melting ships a lot so i dont want to bother other people


PS: who needs a card, when you have a startek pod

card generator can be found here

Link to posters from GamesCom

If any of you need LTI, just PM me and we can solve it!
smile.gif
Rognin already got his Rear Admiral LTI from me, so ask him if you don't trust me hehe

Also, those posters where pretty nice Revro!

EDIT: Now Revro is also the proud owner of LTI.

Hehe sure man, just let me know
wink.gif


Also the ship comparison is already on the first page! Both under ships and under get to know the game

EDIT: The Retaliator caught my eye too, waiting to see how it will be!

Cheers guys

Thought it was about time we started a proper club for SC!

Also still drooling over this:

I want the hangar already

EDIT: SC is first in the new Cryengine trailer!

Nice, a proper club for SC. I can't think of any game more deserving of one
biggrin.gif


I pledged on kickstarter before 200k as well. Freelancer, WC3, Privateer, Strike Commander
Still got all the CDs in my closet (and some still on my hard drive)

I've only got a 300i thus far, waiting for the hangar module thurs to buy some more ships
biggrin.gif

I'm thinking a Cutlass and perhaps a Constellation.

That hangar unveiling at Gamescom made me laugh. I loved seeing the failed login attempts X-D whoooooaaaaaaa-aww!
 
#16 ·
Welcome DMills! You want a similar config like me then, I got a Constellation and a 325A, was thinking about buying the cutlass. Perhaps being a pirate on the side hehe

I also laughed good at all the failed logins, but it is like Revro said he had german characters in his password.

I'm really thinking of getting the freelancer pack (which means 2 crew) and one of the things Im wondering is if some of you guys running military ships wouldn't mind being escorts and we could make some real money early on and buy a squadron full of good ships. I'd also need another crewmate.

Any thoughts on this?
 
#23 ·
thats what i am asking myself too. if i have to hire escorts how much to pay them, will they break even, will i break even? in privateer you got to take 5t of cargo and got 4k for it, but 5t of cargo is ok even for a 300i or an aurora you dont a big trader ship like connie or starfahrer. also in privateer you never made that kind of money from moving the same materials yourself

I will escort for free, as long as I can break even on fuel.

The freelancer holds 20T... You can't get the next ship up (yet) and I am thinking of supporting with the freelancer (and alpha access so 140 dollars) Obviously our goal is the starfarer and then the idris. If we could arrange for guys to be running the ship 247 and we could all be trusted to have escorts and a pilot for our ship 247 we could make serious money. The real thing is how serious and dedicated is the group? This is the first game I can see myself really getting behind since EVE. So I can say I am fully dedicated but I need assurances from others of the same kind of thing.

Any thoughts or suggestions here guys?!
 
#26 ·
you can still get a starfahrer
smile.gif
an original or veteran backer can purchase it for cca 200usd with lti, but all noob pirates will try to kill you down, cause they will assume you a weak target, even tough they will be the ones begging later for a help with gas ...
