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

They don't cost $1 million dollars, it's a stretch goal, as in "If this happens, we'll do this." It doesn't mean the entire amount is spent on the goal, don't think a single one has been massively expensive other than the motion capture studio and additional actors.
 
Depends on your citizen number bud, but assuming you're in the first 200,000 then i.e. citizen 1 - 200,000 then you can get into the multiplayer.

So grab the hangar module, now called "Arena Commander" and you get:

Hangar with your ship(s)
Single player free flight mode
Single player v NPC Scythes
Multiplayer V other players (if Citizen number <200,000)

It's pretty rough and ready alpha just now, but it does look fantastic. The arena itself is fairly small and if I'm honest I've enjoyed free flight the most, just to hear/see the ship and eject to see what it's like to float around.

Enormous download though, at least 12Gb.

Worth it? probably if you fancy checking up on progress yourself but if not hop on some youtube vids instead.

On first day of release of Squadron 42 (single player module leading to Public universe) you'll have exactly the same as other players, at the end of SQ42 you enter the PU (mulitplayer universe) where everyone has the ships they pledged for. However although they may have the ships you can get them in-game with in-game money at any point and from day 1 you have the same content open to you.

Edit: No DLC (as far as I've seen), real cash for in-game money is capped per account per month. Not sure how they'll handle it but microtransactions will be used to fund the PU and future development no doubt. I can't see it giving you an edge if done right.

Nice one Halfmad, appreciated.

I'm in the 43,000s so should get a wee chance to fly. Cool!

So some people have pledged (I guess bought?) some extra ships, and when it's released I'll have to play a bit to earn in game currency to be able to buy said ships?

Some have bought EVERY ship currently available, personally think they'll be bored.. but each to their own.

When you start you'll have your pledge ship and have to earn money to buy others, from what I remember pledging for ships will stop once the game is released so every ship from that point on has to be earned in-game.

To be fair no effort is required on his part, I swear if he offered bottled farts there are people who'd mortgage their house to buy them. I'm a big fan of the game, but I honestly can't understand why some of them are so keen to keep throwing money at the project on the scale they are.

Elite: Dangerous and Limit Theory are looking good too, I'm happy to sit and wait now for SC, plenty of other games to play in the meantime.

Throwing money at it won't speed up development now anyway.

Each to their own tbh, I'm time poor, cash rich although must admit my wallet has been closed for several months now and shows no sign of opening until 2016 onwards!
