The perfect time to build a new PC?Just got the 300i package...wish I had gotten in earlier...now its time to figure out when I should build a new PC
Sure there's some great hardware in 2015, but EVE Valkyrie is out in 2014. That's when I'm upgrading.
It got my vote.Happy to see option D winning so far in the poll.
Happy to see a lot of interested people! For now I have to clear the queue on people interested in packages. I'm full for now, but maybe by the end of the week I can start helping again. The more money SC gets maybe the more publishers get interested in reviving the genre. Welcome to the addiction :]

Can't wait to take my ship out into the verse.
I've been wondering this too. After trying a few times I figure it's just not possible in this current build. Would be cool to seal the ship and get a feel for the interior space.

I hope they go with a strutless design like this, or the full holo cockpit posted earlier, the struts really weren't practical design and just looked bad.

IT WORKED!!!
I see some gifs and still have been made, but I didn't see the thread posted anywhere: So I loaded the assets of the hangar into the Sandbox Editor...
Lots of images, some unfinished models of guns and things as well.

It was posted several pages back, always worth posting again.

Well this game has inspired me to buy a flightstick!
I went with a Cyborg FLY 5, as I have a budget, it seems to be decent enough.
I have used flightsticks in a few simulators before, but this was more than a decade ago, and they weren't 6dof space sims.
I also used to fly for real.
This game just seems to be everything I ever wanted in a space sim (if the goals come true.)
I just can't decide what package/ship to buy?!
Any advice for a rusty pilot who has a budget, who wants to explore, and still be competitive in a dogfight?
Edit: Stuff it, bought digital mercenary pack, dl'ing now!

See, this is already done before I even downloaded the SDK, lol. MOTIVATION LOST.
Ah, missed it, sorry
Posted so long ago it was worth posting again. I'm sure people missed it.

This game has my interest, but how does the pricing work. If you buy the Alpha do you get the full game when it comes out (such as Arma3) or how does it work? Alot of this stuff seems very pricey.
No, totally not. GTA V should be for 2014, while the full game only releases in 2015
Read the description of the packages. All the packages come with the full game (Squadron 42 and Star Citizen) on release. Just get the Mercenary package. It's the cheapest that includes alpha acces. Everything is earnable in-game.
Yeah, it's still a bit confusing on the store page. You need to buy a package which includes a copy of the game. You can check what each package comes with before dropping money on it.

Ah thanks fellas!
Do they all fly like helicopters?

Love the cutlass.
Some of these are really awesome.
They aren't shopped. Those were made with fiddling with the sandbox editor.
AAAAAHHH--oooohhhh. So, flying like a copter
Also 30 people pledged from the morning to now. Nice ed: 32!

He's a weary time traveler from the bleak near future, can't you tell? He tried to buy an alpha account, discovered they had run out, and came back in time to warn us.Sorry for the dumb question, but who are you, and who do you know this?

Ah, wow, okay. I bought the Digital Bounty Hunter package 2 days ago, and have Alpha access. Didn't know that was an issue before.
It's on the front page! How did you miss itSorry for the dumb question, but who are you, and who do you know this?

The last 10k slots went much faster then the 10k before them. I hope they announce what's going to happen with that soon. I still want to flip LTI, but there's no way I'm melting my primary package or my limited availability ships.

Did you vote on the latest poll? I believe I read something in the related letter regarding the poll that they were going to give us each an extra 5000 although my balance has yet to reflect that change.

Lol! Yeah I guess I was too exited about this project, that I totally skipped over that, but see it now, thanks for pointing it out!
I wonder if having no more alpha slots left (when it happens) will negatively affect the number of new pledges. I hope not!
I have an extra 5k too.

It will probably be fully pledged once it hits the alpha cap. And they said they could always use extra money to increase capacity if it is really needed.

I'm in the same boat! :-( will be building a whole new machine for this in mid to late 2014.

"In the spirit of community involvement and discussion and as a big thank you for reaching $17M I think the best thing to do is to give everyone a further 5,000 UEC and let you voice your opinion on some of the proposed solutions (and know that if you vote to reduce the Voyager Direct prices we will credit back the difference in UEC to people’s accounts for people that have already spent UEC)"
The "sign in to vote" thing is a bit buggy. I was already signed in but it prompted again anyway. I signed in there, and then it gave me the "vote" option. From the wording, people don't need to vote to get the credits though.

I'll see if I can get some nice screenshots of my 350R later. The discount hangar's all messed up so the backgrounds look silly in my screenshots. Similar effect to when your system's locked up and your windows leave trails when dragged around.
Also, wow at that funding bump. The hangar module's a much bigger deal than I expected.
