OK, we are now looking at a release date for the dog fighting module on the 29th of May

The multiplayer will be rolled out in pieces afterwards to ensure the backends hold up. I think they will do it according to citizen ID. Thankfully mine is just below 50.000

For a while, this was running just fine on my system. Then one of their updates porked the FR really bad for me, nothing but stutters moving around in the hanger. Has this been fixed?

Has anybody created a SUBSIM org? The name is available 😀
I just can't create it as I already own a org, but I would join a SUBSIM org 😀

In any case SS has been a great of fun since the 2.1 patch.

Let me know your handle and I'll add you as a friend.

Starcitizen 2016 Gamescom Alpha 3.0 Demo.


My reaction

If that presentation is actually 100% game-play then I am seriously impressed, my jaw hit the floor.

Ya I'm becoming increasingly more optimistic they will pull it off. 2.5 is definitely super glitchy though

Ok................ to pledge (pre order) or not.

First up, if I buy into this, lets just say the single player thingy first.... We are looking at $54 no ship just the game right?????

I never seen a site so confusing!.............. From what I see the one ship starter packs are ship and MP Arena only ??????? Am I right so far ?

"Arena Commander" ????......... I think not. At least give the title some credibilty. It sounds sooooooo Roman, Quake at best !!

Lucky me if I pre-order (pledge) to game package 2, I get a ship and the single player stuff (if it ever gets rlsd?) am I reading this right?

Now if I go stupid, I am now talking $100+, I get insurance that last between x and xx. What the hell is that? I get damage repaired till insurance runs out? Then I have to buy more?

I been following this for two years but as time goes on, things seem to be getting more confused.

Looking at the full youtube "Alpha 3.0" presentation, and Chris Roberts brags about the "next alpha" "Citizen Com", some time the end 2016.

Still no BETA !!!!

Now don't get me wrong the guys,(seeming), dedication and love is admirable, but I really am starting to wonder. Apparently the FPS side (Star Marine, I think was the, title has been shelved), so how much longer???? This is worse than a Falcon (BMS) update wait time.

How much more money does this guy need? Forget the merchandise! Get the damn game at least to a beta stage, he keeps showing us all this mind blowing stuff. Why don't he release what is workable, and add his dreams as DLC!

Rant mode off

Sorry chaps but I really want this not to become vapourware that has sucked in soooooooooo many.

The FPS stuff isn't shelved. In fact, you can go online and shoot people right now in alpha 2.5

Would you rather seen it done properly or done rushed?

As for the game packages, press the 'More info' link and it tells you exactly what you get.

From what I've seen/read it has been shelved, what you have now is as far as it goes.

Without doubt we would all like to see it done properly, but how properly? If the whole thing doesn't get rlsd 'till all Chris Roberts aspirations are reaslised, then the whole game/sim, call it what you will, could be redundant before release. How many years since Star Citizen was announced ?

We are now looking late 2017, my guess, but no beta in the frame, and that is being overly optimistic, believe me Dowly I wish I was wrong, but just look at the timeline on this thing !

I have, and that is deeply disturbing, and confusing. Like I said previously
$54 for single player, no mention of a ship, go take a look.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/p...ndalone-Pledge

Put another way, why offer single player campaign, plus a ship, for $70 some dollars minimum. Am I making sense yet?

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/p...adron-42-Combo

Like I said, concentrate on the base game first, SP/MP whatever, forget the $2000 upwards packages and T/Shirts and crap. We seen how Devs/Pubs handle DLC, why is it such a strange concept to CR? No game..... then any DLC/Package, whatever isn't worth, well you know. Roberts has had way over $1,000,000 so far in pledges/pre orders and bugger all 'cept an alpha to show for it. Oh yeah publishing and 4 studios around the world, oh and expos. Whatever happened to getting your nose to the grindstone ?

I really, really want this to happen. However, the more money goes in, and the less comes out, the less likely it looks. Geezus Mark Hamill was never that good an actor anywho

The first one gives you Squadron 42, the second one gives you S42 and Star Citizen.

Indeed, Squad 42, no ship mentioned just the SP campaign.

Second does give mention to a ship however

You may also want to take a look at this;

Star Marine as a separate entity is canceled. The content has instead been wrapped into the main game. I'm also not sure if we are going to get alpha 2.6 or if they are just going to plunge into alpha 3.0 towards the end of the year.

Ok now to the other bit about ordering.
I really would not suggest just picking up Squadron 42. You are not getting Star Citizen if you do that, you will have no access to Star Citizen proper, only 42 which is a single player campaign kind of like the old Wing Commander games.

If you go here https://robertsspaceindustries.com/fly-now you can pick a ship, I would suggest picking the Mustang Alpha. They both cost 45$ but the Alpha is worth 5 dollars more than the Aurora MR. You can also add on Squadron 42 for an extra 15$. After you do that, I would strongly suggest upgrading to an Aurora LN for 5$ more bringing the total to 65$ USD. or about 20$ more than just the Squadron 42 package.

The Aurora LN is a very good ship. It's a capable fighter, and you can outfit it later to carry a large cargo pod which would be useful for trade. Best of all it has a bed (which is important to saving without going to a station).

Aurora LN

Also if you happen to want to upgrade further or buy a second ship you can do that, either from the standalone ships list https://robertsspaceindustries.com/p...?product_id=72 or the ship upgrades page https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ship-upgrades

Thanks mate that cleared up some questions, waiting till pay day to order. However I'm still confused about this whole insurance thingy. Can you shed any light?

Best regards.
