SolCommand, I will await your docking ring with glee. That's if you can get it attached to the ship, because I think I will be claiming your bounty and when back in doc I will be stenciling another pirate ship to the hull of my ship for another pirate that didn't get away.....

Hey, thanks for that True. By the looks of things I am all set for the hi-end spec. I am still keen on setting up an SSC group within the game

[Pinback]

Looks like I am in the high end as well :gaming: but will that be the low end when the game is released. :unsure:

[vamperium]

I'm specifically waiting to build a new rig in 2 years around this game, I was going to build a new one this year, but once this got announced I decided just to upgrade; I will be aiming for high end of course

The sound quality is so bad... I cannot listen to it, even though I get paid for it (@work).Here is another one, Braben & Roberts

Got an email from RSI, said the star citizen card will not be ready for Christmas they did send a link for the vid & pic showing the ship you will have if you bought the Freelancer pack.

[DiabloTigerSix]

Now, they really need to buy some of these at RSI:Those Wallmart products they've been using are embarrassingly bad.

One thing Pinback, that render is not final at this point, but it is pretty close to what it might look like.

One thing Pinback, that render is not final at this point, but it is pretty close to what it might look like. Just read the news on RSI To say we were blown away by the response to Friday’s MISC Freelancer update would be an understatement. We’re so excited that fans are already passionate about their ships and our work and your comments absolutely do impact the development process.We would like to clear up a few misconceptions and provide a little more information on the subscription program. The video posted on Friday was an abbreviated version of a longer edit for subscribers that we haven’t shared yet as we won’t have a good solution for segmenting content until everyone from Kickstarter is integrated. Once that data is in we will have three areas of access -

Hello everyone! So as an earlier post made by a first time poster mentioned, I too have been lurking in these forums like a festering wound on my private bits for quite some time. I wanted to counter a point made by an earlier poster saying that by creating such stunning visuals for SC, it may cause the game to stray from delivering in a lot of other areas promised. So I ask any folk this..."In a space sim, what types of landscapes are you privy to?" Generally, the most constant visuals are that of the deep, dark void of space. This reduces SO MUCH of the workload for the devs. This also gives them the freedom to bump upthe graphical fidelity of the stars of the game, the super sweet ships. They end up pumping so many polys into each model that its easy to forget that you are playing a game and not watching a recently released CG film. I used to think that graphics didn't mean a so much, but with the advancement of things like physics (particle), the many different improvements in lighting techniques, etc ., could mention so many things that can directly add to your game play experience but I think I've made my point. And as for being nervous not getting too excited for this promised show of excellence from the king of space sims, I understand completely, as I'm sure most members hear would understand that view, even if it wasn't their own. But, for me, like most others, I have very high expectations for SC and all I need do is look at his track record, the man is capable of making the most immersible games and quite a few are still loads of joy to play. To top off the belief that this title will stomp on, in and all over the competition is the amount of funds Mr. Roberts raised with the help of us daydreamers Then we have the $10 million some of us have heard about where he had an investor that would throw down that 8 figure chunk of support once the community forked over $2 million, so this leaves Mr. Roberts' Space Industries not just the most successful crowd funding game to date, but it gives them almost $20 million to create the world we've wanted to experience since we first jumped into that fighters cockpit and launched from the maw of the Tigers Claw...and that amount is more than plenty to make an amazing AAA title. I know that some devs spend much more money than that, but it certainly does not guarantee you a great game. Roberts has the passion, vision the following and the dedication to deliver a unique experience. Remember, he is making a game that he has always wanted to play, in a genre that is dear to his heart: To get started a new title like SC all because you have a genuine love for it, and not because you got hired on as a head dev, is really the only fact I need to be aware of to be comfortable kicking down $250 total and have complete faith in Mr. Roberts. ...soooo, yeah...sorry about the my long rant, it wasn't an attack on anyone, I'm a little drunk and just got too eager to drop my .2

Welcome to the forum Porkuelinn It's amazing just how much Star Citizen pulled in and not just the amount of money but also the numbers of backer around 100,000.It proves there a market for this type of game and is one in the eye for the big developers and publishers.
