Caterpillar page is poor, really nothing substantial that's new. Javelin page amuses me no end, can't wait to blow one of those up as half the crew AFK at random lol Can envisage some epic fights on that 
Still don't want one though.. potentially huge running costs just to move it around, too much of a ball and chain at PU launch, we'll leave it and get one later IMO!

SO how would say I become a member of crew on that Javelin? do i have to be friends with some within the verse who owns one or can I just spawn on to one and assume a useful position on the crew?

I think the plan is to have job boards to fill crew roles in the PU. Alternatively you could join an org that have one...or just save up in the PU

That is a sickeningly good deal.
~£13 for access to almost the entire development and the entire game?!?
You'll only have to pay maybe up to $15 more for the remaining alpha modules (planetside, fps...).
Ridiculous - I bought it, and going to melt my 315p for more store credit towards the carrack.

I knew the first tranche would sell fast but...WOW.
That $20 package has to be one of the best value game deals ever, considering what it eventually gives you access to!

So I need a jump capable ship to explore? the free AMD mustang not good enough?
I got in on this, hopefully will get a chance to give it a go at the weekendhttps://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Aurora-MR-Anniversary-Starter

As far as I'm aware you'll be more limited without one BUT any ship can have one fitted in-game, with the Mustang Omega you have there's also likely going to be upgrades available for pledge later on, if it's like the Aurora we're talking $5-10 for it to come with a jump drive fitted.
yeah, and in-game internal upgrade will be fine. I think the midget fighter in the Constellations are about the only ships which cant fit a jump drive.
There should be quite a lot of internal system stuff you can modify once we have a PU populated with those items, even the ships are supposedly mid-low end systems for the most part, none of them are beyond significant improvement.

Carrack is up guys - I've got mine.
Had most of the store credit anyway - and that's me done till release most likely. Only two ships I'm mildly interested in now - the MISC Endeavour and the Aegis Bulldog.
Otherwise I'll just be starting the game with an aurora (the lovely $20 package today) and the carrack.

Scroll down and there's a little mini game where you name a ship and run through choices to try to find a new jump point, find it and you get a "Cartographer" forum title option Nice little touch!

I'm so confused with how this game is being developed.
Do you need to buy a ship, then get game access? Your then locked to that ship until you buy another?
If I buy the cheapest package, I then get beta access and will get the full game too? When it goes live will it still be charging for other ships? (in real money) Seems like pay to win if this is the case...
