Very very cool.

Hope they pull this off.

Maaaan, dude that blows. I know what it feels like, I missed the Wasteland 2 K/S. Final tally ended up being just under $6.3 million. And since existing backers can still adjust their pledge levels, this ha now grown to over $6.3m. It's a great day to be a space sim fan, and a PC gamer.

Just passed $5.5 Million, and well on the way to 6! Just so we all know, at 5.5m we've unlocked: 70 explorable star systems! The Bengal Carrier (as seen in vids) as a playable ship A tablet app used to check on ingame news, commodity prices and inventory. The return of a famouse actor for Voice acting (Mark Hammil anybody) Alien Derilect base type Destroyer playable ship Kr Tak race Vanduul trading post Extended peripheral support 5 additional ship types! If you wanna see the full list: http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/?rid=6276 Oh, and check this (VERY VERY early) Space port footage: http://vimeo.com/m/53829036 [video=vimeo;53829036]

Just a heads up folks, it looks like Star Citizen will crack the $5.5 million in the next hour or so, long surpassing the $4.1 million previous record set by Project Eternity. At 5.5 million, the devs will make that carrier in the trailer a playable ship for the players to own.

lol/\

Possibly, but it's quite aged now. Have to played the Freespace FCP mods? They're frikken amazing. I played the Freespace 2 update (puuuurdy), the BSG Diaspoia (My favorite) and the WC: Saga (Playing now). All good games, but Star Citizen looks special. Havent you ever wanted to climb out your fighter and walk around you flight deck?

Exactly. If we crack the $4m mark, Mod tools will be unlocked. Now that's worth working towards!

The open universe is one element to the game, the other is the story driven mode, where you are a fighter pilot in the Nazy. Think wing commander! It's even rumoured to have alternate routes through the campaign based on your performance in missions. Wel... Because.... Space Sim. Wing Commander. Chris Roberts.

You all know about Star Citizen, and have been wondering if you should back it. I'm here to tell you to do so! Cummon, Lads, you know you wanna! http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/?rid=6276

This. Exactly this!!!

Um.... Nothing?

Apparently a vid and some screenshots are incoming. Barben mentioned this to Eurogamer.

Backed.

I missed the KS, but I'll be buying this game for full price when it comes out. Maybe even twice.

I played strike suit zero at euro gamer expo. It was pretty bland, IMHO. That said, I've backed it at the $15 mark. I've thrown $100 at nexus 2, I'm supper bleak this is going to tank. Will probably throw another $100 at star citizen, once they reveal more about the ships.

Interesting....

I think Xcom EU is still missing a serious note (IMO) by by not allowing us customisable base location, and no full camera control.

An Xcom FPS will only work if they make it like System Shock. An abducted (female for a change) protaganist, tries to escape the confides of an alien ship, all the while fighting Mutons and sectoids for her life, and Ethreals for her sanity......

OMG!!!! Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to throw money at my monitor!!!! Oh, to anyone who's unsure of just how awesome this will be, Nexus 1 is on GOG for like $3 at the moment. Cash in on a classic. I am gonna throw at least $100 at this.

*Sees cult following of a TBS game* * Sees money COD makes* *Decided to make an XCOM FPS (how can it fairl, right?)* *Watches Syndicate crash and burn* *Thinks better of it* I'm glad. If they were going to make it like Bioshock, and detached from the xcom name, awesome. but to quote Yatzee, "You wont endear yourself to me by raping my mum, and charging me $50 for the "pleasure"".

It's just frustrating and seems to me to be an obviouse improvement. I mean, why do away with being able to place your base wherever you want (More plaver egnagement), but lock us into a "2d" camera view for a 3d game. Whoever made that decision needs a firm talking to. Also. The contoles should be mouse centric, not Ketboard centric.

I dont think it would be dollars anyhow. I mean... $200 to build a baracks? Man, I'll have 2!

Yeah, when the hell is star command comming out. The Frikkin ios version is looooooong overdue!
