To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

As you know, November 26, 2013 marks the end of Lifetime Insurance (“LTIâ€) availability for Original and Veteran backers. We made lower-cost LTI packages available as a reward for the group of backers who made Star Citizen possible in the initial campaign, which culminated with the close of a grace period on November 26, 2012.
To celebrate our first year in operation, over the next week leading up to the 26th we will be offering each of the “limited edition†ships and packages once again for a limited time, so that anyone who would like to pick one up can do so. To give everyone a shot to catch the ship they’re interested in, we are going to announce the schedule in advance today. Ships and packages will be available for 24 hours (midnight to midnight PST.)
As a special thank you to everyone that has got us this far, including our growing contingent of New backers, Limited ships will include LTI for everyone! However they will only be available at the original prices for early backers (Original and Veteran) to keep in the spirit of our original promise to make sure that the earliest backers would have a benefit over later backers.
The Super Hornet is not being offered now, as it was available very recently.
- Monday, November 18 – ORIGIN M50
- Tuesday, November 19 – ORIGIN 350R & Lightspeed Package
- Wednesday, November 20 – Drake Caterpillar
- Thursday, November 21 – RSI Aurora LX
- Friday, November 22 – Anvil Gladiator & Aegis Retaliator (running through the weekend)
- Monday, November 25 – MISC Starfarer
On November 26th, we will start the second year off with a bang! Chris Roberts and the Star Citizen team will host a four-hour livestream starting at 11 AM PST which will feature the latest news and information, plus a chance to get your questions answered! We will also unveil the first details on the next assortment of ships, as we did at the first livestream! Like the original group, these ships will be offered for sale on special occasions… including some which will be purchasable for the first time on the 26th! There will also be a limited number of LTI Idris-P corvettes available for sale to all users, offered in four allotments throughout the day to allow Citizens around the world a chance at purchasing these rare ships.
Please be reminded that all these sales are to fund the development of the game and make the universe bigger and richer. We don’t care about making profits for public shareholders. We just care about making the Best Damn Space Sim Ever and you generous support has already allowed us to go way beyond what we thought would be possible upon initial release!
Looks like the total will be going up again :biggrin:
Oh man... having to decide which LTI to get is a stressful decision. I recently upgraded my original early backer pledge and was having a brutal time deciding between the Freelancer and Hornet. Ultimately I went with the hornet, possibly against my better judgement. Not sure I will put any more money in though. I'll be overhauling my machine primarily for this, so in some sense it'll be a $2k game for me (obviously it'll get used for lots of other things though).
It's definitely a wierd thing to have to decide what ship to get a year+ before the game comes out.
I'm definitely not going to be able to handle it if SC is a disappointment. Chris Roberts always saying exactly the right thing even after more than a year keeps up my faith...
The ships I'm most interested in is the Idris and the Banu merchantman that was unlocked in the $27 million stretch goal. I'm really looking forward to more info about the merchantman, especially since it's for sale on the 26th ...
