When I saw his video presentation, it had barely started before I had pledged for the game. :p

(I joined on September 11th 2012 BEFORE the game was unveiled. I saw an article about the site being discovered on Kotaku of all places!)

I think that may in fact be what will happen for some of the non-winners in time. I don't mind the "reality" aspect of it, tbh. It's not like they can realistically add more than one or two player ships in the game with everything they have going on on that front already. There has to be some sort of elimination process and I think they've done a very good job at it so far. It looks like it'll come down to the judges' and fan's personal / subjective preferences, which I guess is as much as you can hope for. It means that pretty much all the teams have done an outstanding job. And, well, there's always TNGS Season 2 ... :)

a bit late on this, but some project are being dropped and some aren't as good as planned. First I wanted all ship in the game, but do we need 8 gun ships ? If they end up choosing a winner but offering the second and third place a chance to get in too at some point, i'd be happy because so far, the finals design aren't all the same old Hind with space engines. So if we end up with 3 really different looking gun ships, I'd be happy to have the choices to what I want to buy and fly.

Well, you'll have to wait for the MP part of it but you'll be able to play the SP portion (horde mode vs. AI) by the looks of it:

"...our plan is to have Vanduul Swarm (single player against AI) available to everyone from the start, and then give people access to the multiplayer servers in increasing numbers as long as the system holds up."

Going to? They've been all over this from the beginning. :p It's a complete non-issue, obviously. In that they're going to make the appropriate adjustments to the 3rd person camera, if it turns out to be a huge advantage in dogfighting. But hey, whiners gonna whine.

BTW, Four horsemen deserved to move forward yesterday in TNGS. Without even considering looks and original design (with which I had no problem), their texturing, modelling, and just everything was stellar. They are so far ahead of the other teams, that when they gain access to CryEngine 3.6, their work will even look better.

I hope you guys are throwing in your save votes for them :p

Maybe the 2nd batch of access?

EDIT:

So everyone gets single player by the end of the month, but the multiplayer launches in waves.

Interesting.

I expect people will make memory reading utilities to read the 3D positions of everything around you, show alerts when you're in danger, reveal cloaked ships unless the server doesn't send you the ship's position until you see it, etc. They're going to have a whole lot more to blow up about.

If I only have the basic starter ship, the Aurora I think it is, does that mean its crap for dogfight and I have to pay more for decent fighting ship and weapons??

Well, it won't be made for dogfighting, but nobody forces you to buy a 'better' ship. Just wait for the persisent universe to be released and play your way into a Hornet if you like to fight.

Actually your citizen number is still accurate. I also registered on 10/10, never had any issues with registration and I'm 65xxx.

They just posted their tweaked design based on judge critique.

I know I am. I don't necessarily disagree with what was said on TNGS, but too slick for a gunship or not, it's just a brilliant piece of work. It simply has to be in SC in one role or another. :p Go Horsemen!

There's already utilities that do that for Star Citizen. It's called the RADAR and HUD.

Exactly, the craftsmanship is astonishing. Also the fact that they got it in engine, textured, shaded, etc...

Cannot wait to see it with PBS.

Threw my vote in for the horsemen. To be entirely truthful, this is a matter of peer pressure since I haven't really been following the TNGS process. Still, the ship looks neat. Good enough for me.

Anyway: Enlisted Oct 20, 2012, Uee Citizen Record #46529.

s'OK, I can wait. Need to keep my hype under control. *looks balefully at $625 backer confirmation* *eye twitch*

Yep, you're #900.
Looks like you're on of the first GAFers who will be able to try out the MP part of the DFM.
