So Star Citizen is coming along nicely. Still a little buggy, but there's plenty of time to fix that. I want to know if you can just park in the shadow of an asteroid, hop out, plant a bomb on someone's hull, then sneak back to your ship. That would be friggin' awesome. Also Star Citizen has the best concept art EVER.
There's limits on ship trading. You can only trade some ships once (the rest none at all). It eliminates people making trading a mini-profession out of trading ships. Since you can't have trusted players taking ships and money in escrow any more, the only option to trade is directly between buyer and seller, you will see people being more hesitant because of the inherent scamming risk.
Who currently has access to the game? Or are they just streaming early versions, with no alpha/beta access yet?
You can get in and out of a spaceship at the moment, I think. And trot around in a hangar. The dogfighting module was previewed on the Thursday night before PAX - was a fun event but there was two hours of live bug-fixing on stage. Definitely not ready for even Alpha testing.
I don't care I want to try. It'll be hilarious if anything. Did you not see that eject sequence? Everyone who bought a package with alpha access will have access to the DogFighting Module. Right now all the alpha slots are gone (DFM isn't the only alpha thingy) but you can get a $5.00 pass to get in anyway. http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Anticipated_Release_Schedule Making an account and asking questions in the community chat is a great way to get information.
Ah, nice. I know I backed for a decent amount.. $150 or $250 or some such. I should try and login to my account at some point, see what the situation is.
:O so jelly. I only got the basic $40 package but I'm one of the very first backers so I get all the goodies in all the stretch goals. I'm just going to enter every single competition in the forums and hope I come out with my own armada of Star Destroyers Idris Corvettes. Speaking of which they had to change the design for the single player so now it looks like this:
Woo! We hit 43 million! New ship coming soon: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13840-Letter-From-The-Chairman-43-Million
