Star Citizen’s Fleet System Gets Video’d, Detail-ified

I've backed this and Elite Dangerous too. Star Citizen is there already, hope Elite can do the same.

I seem to be stuck in a cycle of logging in, ogling the for an hour and then almost buying it. Sprung for the advanced starter's package already and it's rather a lot of money to spend on something I can't play yet...

Then again, the lifetime insurance deals end the 6th... And so the cycle continues.

I've been bitten by the space bug (bought Endless Space & SpaceDrive,
thinking of installing X3 again), so it does look very tempting.

But, because it is such an ambitious game, I'm just going to wait for release
and see if they deliver what they are promising. Wouldnt be the first game to
cut tons of promised features prior to release.

Certainly looks ambitious. I enjoyed both WingCo and Freelancer a lot so if anyone can pull something like this off it will be Roberts.

Yeah, feeling fairly confident on it as well. Based on essentially nothing, so I may well be taken in by the marketing... I'd drop more on it to support it (and satisfy my desire for fancy space ships) if there was something to show, beyond the videos.

Didn't take me long to drop a fair bit of cash on MWO, but I'd already been playing that for months when the Founder packages went up. At least you get an idea of what you're buying then.

They should get a hangar module out for backers soonish. You can just wander around and in the ship, interact with it a bit, but at least it's getting some content into the hands of the players.

I er... completely caved. Upgraded to the package with the 315p and added the Aurora LX. Still not as much as I dropped on WMO but still a fair bit for something so far off from playable.

Been really enjoying the lore articles and short stories. Constant trickle of new information, pretty impressed with how they are building up its universe.
