******Official Star Citizen / Squadron 42 Thread******

funny, I've Just read that(well some) It's a loooooong read.

But yes, It seems it has Uther. Though I think that will be the last we hear from Cig on the matter tbh.
 
I haven't really been following the development of this although it does look and sound amazing..

One thing though, you can spend a fair amount of money to get decent ships correct? is this deemed as pay to win? or does the type of ships you can pay for or "fund" for actually that relevant?

Generally curious, this does look really good although it would be a shame if a pay to win system is around.

Cheers
 
The ship sales are just to support development Astley, once the PU is live you will have to get everything in game with in game credits / UEC

There will still be an option to buy limited amounts of UEC though

Yes, if you pledged for that ship, it's yours. Alternatively you can get most of the ships in game when it's released, altough how easy it is to obtain them isn't known.

As for pay to win, they have said it's not, but then again what company would admit their game is pay to win? You're definitely going to have advantages by pumping for money into development, but then again this isn't really a game you "win", there's not going to be a scoreboard at the end of 20mins of play. You can do what you want in this game.

Yeah you get them in the Persistent Universe when it's done and you get access to them in Arena Commander as they become ready.

Buying them isn't the only option to get access in Arena Commander as you can earn REC to rent ships and other equipment.

There is really no need to buy additional ships unless you want to support the game really. Hope that makes a bit more sense
 
Awesome, thanks for the responses clearing that up :) 2017 is the expected release date correct? that is a long time for them to cary on working on this! sounds like it is going to be a good one.

Cheers again
 
It will be released in segments over time, we are set for some new content hopefully at the end of this month for example. The completion date was the end of 2016 but they haven't talked about this in a long time and they've had many setbacks, 2017 sounds more realistic. They have also stated that the development won't really end, it will be on ongoing project that they will continue to develop after the conventional release date.

Thankyou for your opinion based on decades of game development and project management no doubt.

I read the whole CR email and you can tell hes ****ed now but I would imagine this will be the last input from Chris on the subject.

As a backer (not a fan boy) I'm getting quite tired of all the falsehoods and rumours. Someone find me Derek Smarts address so I can send him a tonne bag of road salt.

I'd be quite surprised to hear this game will be feature complete before late 2017.

From my friend who recently started work at Foundry 42 he said when he got into the office and saw what they were doing and how they were working and how so much is under wraps that we haven't heard or seen yet he was surprised but actually really stoked for it.

He's loving it and thinks its the best place hes worked yet, Given he's worked at Rockstar (which he said was so toxic), Facepunch (way to laid back) and a few others
