Didn´t we already say that we´ll make a crpg star citizen clan?

Not sure if it's been said before, but after trawling the forums, it seems you can quite 'easily' get all the ships ingame. Including the special, limited edition ones.

The only exceptions are the vanduul fighter and the idris-M (mil spec), which you can get ingame, but I don't think you can get insurance for.

Something to keep in mind if you were thinking of buying them.

Will there be bullshit weapons like hitscan snipe lasers or lock-based missiles ?

Not sure about the ship weapons, but they did talk about an Xbow on a wingmans episode

[zagibu]

The crossbow is probably only for the crossbow firing range. Yeah, they are implementing everything, besides flying space ships.

Star Citizen reaches another stretch goal at $29 Million!

Greetings Citizens,

You’ve picked up a lot of bombers… and used them to blow another stretch goal out of the water! This time I want to offer a special thank you on behalf of the Foundry 42 team. The latest stretch goal unlocked additional funding for the Squadron 42 single–player experience. In honor of that, we’ve put together a special Inside CIG behind-the-scenes video introducing the team making the game!

Enhanced Mission Design for Squadron 42 – The team at Foundry 42 has big plans for Squadron 42, and we’re going to provide extra funding to make it a true spiritual successor to Wing Commander! Squadron 42 can go above and beyond anything you’ve seen before. From opening with an epic battle instead of a training patrol to missions that seamlessly combine boarding and space combat, we aim to put you right into the action! Additional funding will let the team realize this, with enhanced mission design and more resources and animations to enhance fidelity.
Last time we asked you to vote on a role for the next ship we build, and the resounding answer was that Citizens want to have a mining ship. We’re happy to oblige, but I’ll go ahead and warn you that mining in Star Citizen is going to be a lot more immersive than what you’ve seen before; you won’t be clicking on an asteroid until you’ve collected metal!

RSI Orion – Roberts Space Industries’ goal has always been to make the stars available to individual Citizens. Now, with the RSI Orion mining platform, RSI is letting individuals take over a process formerly controlled by megacorporations. The Orion’s features include high-grade turret-mounted tractor beam arrays, durable exterior-accessible ‘saddlebags’ for mineral storage and a cabin designed by the team that brought you the Aurora and Constellation!
Now it’s time for you to pick the $32 million stretch goal ship. We’ve removed the winner and the lowest-performing option from the last poll. What will it be now? A massive cargo hauler, a speedy information runner, a dedicated salvage ship? The choice is in your hands!

Remember that each stretch goal represents a broad array of improvements to Star Citizen: more staff, better equipment, more variety in the finished universe. The ships you choose are just a sample of what each million dollars lets us add to the game!

I´m slowly getting the feeling that he can´t get enough. Could be dangerous.

[Leesin]

Only $3 million more dollars for one more ship? 

[Kafein]

And to remember that the Edge failed its goal of $32M with a pityful $13M

[Leshma]

Only $3 million more dollars for one more ship? 

He's out of beefy stretch goals for quite some time. He is just listing stuff he would implement anyway, stretch goal or not. No one is forcing players to pledge because funding has been met at 22-23 million USD. But these promotions usually raise the bar by couple millions.

Yeah that wasn't my point, my point was it is funny "Give us another 3 million dollars and we'll add another ship lolololol"

[Butan]

Like Leshma said its more like an open poll for what you want to have next than give us 3m$ for a ship. Of course it is also an incentive to put more money in if you can have what you want too, but thats a big part of why crowdfunding works: you put your money where your mouth is.

[Leesin]

Yeah but my point was simply that it can be seen from the funny side, i.e "Give us 3 million dollars and we'll make one more ship", sometimes I forget why I even post on this forum  .

[Butan]

Dont worry I'm just playing the devil's advocate but I laugh behind the screen too

Well, Star Citizen community is special. You can look at it from the bright side, funny side or side that's now prevalent, scary side where everyone who disagrees with a bit brainwashed mass pumping money into the game is an idiot.

But to tell you frankly, I'm not the one paying thousands of dollars for something that can be achieved during playtime. Extra money will just make the game better and I should be grateful to people giving money to Chris for digital ships, because they raise the value of my own investment.
