It’s unbelievable: 星際公民 fans have helped us reach the $15 million mark without any special promotion! Ten years ago, big publishers decided space games weren’t profitable… and you are proving them very, very wrong!
The $15 million unlock adds another flyable ship class to the game, the oft-discussed escort carrier. Every backer will also get a free digital 42-page Upgrade Handbook manual with their game which goes through the process of customizing and overclocking ship systems! We’re excited about putting this one together, since it goes right to the heart of what’s going to make Star Citizen unique.
The previously-announced $16 million stretch goals are:
- Arena mode: Arena mode is a simulation within the game, although it is not the simulator itself. Players will have access to an actual training simulator in their hangars, which will be used for the dogfight alpha. The Arena is something bigger. It is a galaxy-wide event, where players come to specific locations, pay their entry fees, and jump into space battles to prove who is the best dogfighter of all. Think of it as a combination of a sports tournament and modern-day gaming contests. Each winner will receive credits for the victory, and the best of the best will meet in higher and higher rounds until a grand champion is crowned.
- A laser pistol for every pledger before this point. Keep your ship safe from boarders with a pistol by your side.
With today’s achievement, we’re happy to unlock the $17 million rewards:
$17 million
- Ship upgrade package for every pledger containing an engine modifier.
- Additional flyable ship class: battlecruiser
Thank you all for your continued support. Tell your friends, Star Citizen is coming!
