Quoted:
If you contribute within the next week (the grace period), you get lifetime insurance on your purchased ship. So that ship, plus its default equipment, is always replaced free of charge regardless of how often you lose it (of course, go ramming people for kicks and you might wait an hour for a freebie, etc), while for normal players it will be like EvE where you either pay every X days for insurance or get nothing when you lose your ship. Make sure you pledge for something listed as having alpha/beta access because the full game will not be coming out for at least a year.
I may be interested in playing this. How do I get started? Is the alpha up or what? Walking in your hangar in August, dogfighting with other players in December 2013. Kharn |

This is ridiculous, I already have a 300i but I'm actually considering getting the 350r.
No wonder they've been able to raise over 10 million. Quoted:
Soo watching the livestream on RSI's website and guess what they have sitting in the corner of the room...a nice AR :) ETA Might be airsoft they have a ton of gear now on the table Saw this in the video about building the 300i: 
I think it's just a prop but cool nonetheless. |

I doubt they're live guns, CR has played with the shotgun during their weekly telecast and its a 14" barrel. They wouldn't 1) need an SBS for motion capture purposes, or 2) leave it lying around the office.

Of course in a few minutes those were bought up. It will be interesting to see what the differences are between the original 100 ("military" model) vs the new 250 ("peacekeeper" model), besides the Peacekeeper missing a Class 8 hardpoint, who knows what that is... Star Citizen won't be EvE where you need a Idlis to compete, it's a dogfighting game so I'd expect the biggest ship to see regularly on the battlefield would be the Connie, and even then it will be rare.

Well, it's not $200 for the ship, it's mostly funding for the game. I have little doubt that players will have loaded hangers soon into the game without some insane grind. The bonus you get from buying ships during the funding drive is the lifetime insurance. The goal is this is not a pay-to-win F2P game. |

I started out getting the rear admiral package for the connie. Got both the ID card and t-shirt already.
Added the origin 350R last week, and the Starfarer yesterday. Probably gonna get a Hornet soon just to have a dedicated blow-em-up ship. I would have wanted to get the corvette, except it's not just stripped down, they removed the big gun's mounting point. I'd like a landable ship with a hanger, maybe the frigate will have that since the destroyer is supposedly a space-only design |

That's just the first of the multi-crew ships. Every ship with a cabin or more will be navigable, and the carriers can take a while just to get from the bridge to the hangers. They are also looking at putting in customizable internal stuff. I want a DJ booth for my Constellation, since people keep saying it's a party ship

I know so far they have been fleshing out the interiors of the smaller ships, but big ships can be quite expansive in terms of corridors and what not, so it would not surprise me if they weren't all that fleshed out. It really feels like it's your ship and not just a game when you can walk around anywhere inside the interior though and as I said it was one of the features I liked the most about Mass Effect 2 and one that I hated about 3 (they made the interior smaller and blocked off some sections). |

We're gonna ambush people steal loads, board capital ships, hell we'll even help some people too. But there will be an active bounty system and we're gonna use it to full effect. Think of us as a mix of Kelly's Heroes and McHale's Navy in space. Just more bad ass We'll have two teamspeaks for comms. One Primary, one secondary. I got a third TEOTWAWKI happens and we need a third server b/c the first two are down. When I get around to it I'd love to do a website. So anyone who might be able to help with that or maybe some graphical work would be phenomenal. What I would like is people to list what ships they currently have and maybe get some people together on teamspeak to BS.

Digital scout had alpha/beta access for purchasers prior to a few weeks ago (like 4-5?), new purchasers do not get it.
Other tiers will start to lose access for new purchasers as alpha draws near and spots fill up, but if you bought it, and your account page states alpha/beta access under your package, you're golden. Kharn |
