    If they can afford to waste that much cash on trivial things i doubt they will care much if it tanks.

    The game looks great and the mention of private servers sounds like the route me and my brother will take.

    Have yet to back it thought, waiting for more information.

    I can't believe people put so much faith into something that is all talk and some pretty images and videos. This whole thing reeks of pay to win and elitism by folks who have way too much money to spend. It wouldn't surprise me if the game is going to be a disaster, a flop, that can't live up to all the expectations at all. Only those few gullible people who bought stuff before the game got out will probably keep playing for a while to justify their investments.

    Again, the fact that you can host your own server if you want and that there will be community run servers as well pretty much nullifies that.

    Hey there, hater-kun. Your own posts contradicts with itself. You said "I can't believe people put so much faith into something that is all talk and some pretty images and videos", yet you yourself made this observation "This whole thing reeks of pay to win and elitism by folks who have way too much money to spend. It wouldn't surprise me if the game is going to be a disaster, a flop, that can't live up to all the expectations at all." Entirely from the same talk and pretty images. Cute.

    Where did he contradict himself, exactly?

    Chris have tried with this before, Freelancer was supposed to offer many of what is promised in Star Citizen. He ran out of funds and the results were far from what was promised. Altough they have a good engine now and better software is available but I am a believe it when I see it kind of person.

    I am concerned that we'll get into another "bitten off more than he can chew" situation. It happens and that's life, etc, etc... But when you have folks spending hundreds, or thousands, on a product that's not even in Beta yet? Well, this could get ugly really fast.

    Exactly, they want to put so much amazing stuff into the game but what they want and what they can actually pull off is very different. I mean, you're supposed to be able to hire NPC's to crew your large ship or other players, you will be able to interact with other players on your ship, your ship will be able to be boarded and you will have to fight off the boarders or they will steal it/you can self destruct it. Bars for interaction/hubs on planets, a fully functional economy and space combat system. That's just so much stuff...
    Not to mention even if they pull it off, there's so much hype behind it, people have unrealistic expectations of the game, that if aren't met, will cause them to throw a hissy fit.

    So is there a beta or anything so far, or is it still far from that place?

    They haven't even reached alpha testing yet, apparently.

    Filing it back into the 'check again in 6 months' category :P

    Thanks for the videos though. I assume they are CGI and not in-engine?

    I'll specifically refer to 'Only those few gullible people who bought stuff'. Few? You do know how much they've raised don't you? The amount of people who have pledged would be huge.

    I'm not sure how people think it's P2W, the ships out now for pledges will just be a ship no longer available in game when it's released. There'll obviously be other similar ships available to purchase in game and some will no doubt be quite expensive (in game currency). Plus the game doesn't work like all ships need to be balanced. Each ship has a niche, it's good at a particular thing. Plus with modifications you can turn a certain ship into maybe be even more specialised. There's too many variables. It's not all just gonna be pew pew pew, half the time if I encounter someone whilst I'm out exploring I'm just going to run the hell away, and I'll customise my ship to be able to do that. Others will be pirates and deck their ships out for combat, some will be haulers, and so on. Ships don't need to be balanced.

    The ones we have now for pledges will just be a unique model that will no longer be available at launch, thus paying for the uniqueness and the obvious head start. But there'll be no doubt, equivalent ships available in game.

    No idea about those videos, but this is definitely in engine.



    Also, they are supposed to be releasing the Hangar Module next month. If you own a ship on your account from pledging etc., you're supposed to be able to walk around on it. We'll see how that goes.

    Wow, that is from last year? How are they not in alpha yet, at least?

    Because the game will be massive, that's how. :P But yea, planned release is sometime in 2015.
    Also they are going to be releasing the game module by module. First that hangar module which is supposed to come out next month.
    Then sometime later a "dogfighting module" in which I guess you will be able to fight against other players or at least AI.
    Then a "Squadron 42" which is a story campaign, no idea if you can play it in co-op or if it's single player only, but it will be part of the whole game, as a sort of tutorial and a way to get some extra stuff before jumping in to the whole game. After that is when they are supposed to release Star Citizen itself.

    Well I believe they are in alpha, but alpha testing will include backers, and that is a ways off.

    All the ships backers are getting are going to be available to purchase in-game. With the level of detail they're going for on each ship it takes months to build just one, so they're already working hard to get as many in as possible.

    Backers will just be getting a bit of a head start in their chosen area, personally I'm getting a Freelancer because I want to explore and trade, but I'll probably be at a disadvantage going against some smaller ships in a straight up fight.

    All the videos are rendered in-engine so far. So the ship there is the exact model you'll get in-game.

    Didn't I read they are using the Crysis engine?
