Star Citizen

[Wice]

So, with the upcoming release of the Hangar app, I was surprised to see that there was no Star Citizen topic on the KSP forums.

Has anyone here backed Star Citizen yet?

(If not, you really should: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/ )

What is Star Citizen?

Star Citizen is an upcoming space trading and combat simulator video game for Microsoft Windows. Star Citizen will consist of two main elements: a persistent world massively multiplayer online game mixing elements of 1st person space combat and interstellar trade (known as Star Citizen) and a branching single-player and drop-in co-operative multiplayer campaign (known as Squadron 42).

Both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are set in a 30th-century Milky Way centered around the fictional UEE (United Empire of Earth), an analogue of the late Roman Empire. A central theme of the game is citizenship (or lack thereof) in the UEE, which must be earned through player actions (such as completing a period of military service).

I have not backed it, but I will! The game won't have the features that I would value in this game for about a year, so I figured that I would support then. Extremely pumped for this game!

The sooner you back it, the more exclusive bonuses you get...

It actually sounds interresting but they already start with things that really are annoying:

- Exclusive star system for pre-launch backers.

This also is a bad sign for the future since it means that they probably will make more parts in the game like this accessable to only a few players willing to pay. Which is awful and destroys games. Its just like those map-packs for COD which are way overpriced and the kids that buy them can hardly play them because there are only so few people playing there.

I dislike this new gaming industry where people actually have different games. It is not that bad when its only pointless items - but this is awful.

Also to be honest Star Citizen looks like a moneygrab now. Just compare the Budget increases with what they will add to the game ...

Well, the exclusive system is the only backer-exlusive perk right now. And there are over a 100 systems in the game, so one exclusive system doesn't really ruin the experience.
