What is a Golden Ticket?

Users who registered for the site before the game was announced on October 10, 2012 have a Golden Ticket on their account which indicates they were the very earliest members of the community. The Golden Ticket was an invite to the launch event on October 10th. It also entitles the holder to a special decal on their ship if they subsequently backed Star Citizen by pledging for one of the spaceship tiers as well an un-announced small in-game item. A Golden Ticket holder has no additional privileges or game status outside of being able to say there were some of the earliest members of the community.

Haha, I figured Wolfie's post was a troll post at first. Hadn't heard of that Golden Ticket thing :cry:

I hope we're not looking at April for 3.18. The way I read the post talking about the 3.19 Invictus stuff, was that the "3.19" patch will be before Invictus, but instead of being on a 3.19 build, will be 3.19 content on the 3.18 codebase - implying that we should also have a full 3.18 release before then. Some other mates are implying this is the case too. Hope so anyway...
 
oh i see......

In all honesty probably not for years yet, there are a couple more Jesus techs to get through before its in a state they would call released.

Persistent Entity Streaming, that's the 3.18 build currently in testing, for i think about 8 months now, its not going well, the patch its self is very nice, one of the best most stable patches i have seen but once the server, or "Shard" now ages or gets stressed the whole thing falls apart, frankly i'm worried about it, they have been ###### about with it for so long now you can see a series of type of problems repeat in different patches, it feels like they are moving things around to try and fix what doesn't seem to be working.
They first said they are aiming for July, then September, then November, then December, then January and now there saying they need another 3 months....

If and when they ever get that working the next thing is Static Server Meshing. at that point they can add more star systems and flesh it out enough to call it a released game.

Yes it does kinda read like that too. Hard to know exactly what mean. Just their lack of actual detail in the post after 5 weeks of people expecting to find out roughly the plans going forward and they have spent maybe 5 weeks planning till May then and have lots to still work out on what actually may happen with stuff that was going in for 3.19 that can't possibly be coded back to 3.18 code base. So already 3.19 is basically going to be October. The 3.19 we are getting is 3.18.1 slim version. Meaning realistically 4.0 mid to end 2024.
 
not a troll, just lost track of when we were supposed to be able to use them for Alpha testing.sounds from the above that that's gone now and we get a bumper sticker for the ship instead. yay.

I don't believe it was ever part of testing in any way beyond what everyone else has option to? That text is back from the kick starter page in December 2012.

This actually worth playing now? I think I pre-ordered it in 2015 before release and uninstalled it after about 10 minutes XD

Its a very different game to what it was in 2015, but only you can answer your own question, you need to try it.

This is a heavily edited and somewhat performative version of gameplay, but not a fake or anything like that, watch it, its a good video in its own right.

Well, looks about 50 x better than it did, will get it installed tonight!
 
@ph123uk for the love of Chris Roberts God, do yourself a big favour and save yourself a lot of frustration by watching a new player guide on YT before you jump in.
'Common sense' and perhaps ego may tell that you that it's just a game, you're a big boy and you can easily figure **** out for yourself. However, this is Star Citizen and it really doesn't like noobs.

I shall do just that then, although just for claritys sake, I still refuse to read the instructions when putting furniture together.
