    Steel, we jarheads are proud of being jarheads, no matter what connotations your kind put on us.

     

     

    Jeff... I meant it with all the love a Grunt could give. I respect all the branches of the armed services from all countries. I may poke fun but I still consider you my brother.

     

    BTW I have a cousin that is still in the Marines. He has been in service to his country for over 30years.

    No Action. Not sure what to change there re: Cobra/Apache. Would we rather a different setup? Seems we really aren't focused on gunships lately anyhow.

     

    I think what Jeff means is that if you are playing as the US Army the have Army helos. If you are playing as Jarhea, I mean Marines, then have have Marine Aircraft.

    From the RSI website...

     

    The battle is over and we - PC gamers, space sim fans, WingNuts, Lancers and the rest - have won. You've not only met every goal we set, you've exceeded them. Star Citizen will be released because of your dedication and your willingness to put your money where our mouths are. Our gratitude is immeasurable; we owe you our livelihoods and will not soon forget it.

     

    The question is: what happens next?

     

    Our intention has always been to make Roberts Space Industries YOUR site. It's not a public advertisement for the game; it's a private community for those who are making the game happen. We want your input on what we're doing and we want to share our plans with you; the occasional passer-by doesn't concern us. The plan was initially to immediately switch on a wall that would allow only you, our backers, to access features like the Comm-Link and the Spectrum Dispatches. Kickstarter has thrown something of a wrench in this plan: we can't change the site until the Kickstarter backers are integrated, which may take up to two weeks, otherwise we would be blocking thousands of backers from participating.

     

    Updates and features will continue, returning to a regular schedule in the next few days. The team needs a few days to collect ourselves and reform before jumping into the immense task ahead (after the last month, our husbands, wives, children and yes, pets, miss us!) We will also be launching new sections which have been in the works for some time: the Galactapedia will tell you more about the Star Citizen world, Engineering will introduce you to game mechanics that are being planned and Holovids will offer you video footage from the game as it takes shape.

     

    What about pledges? Good news: those of you who got in on the ground floor are covered. Your ships have lifetime insurance policies and for the next year you will have the ability to purchase further tiers or upgrade existing ones at the initial prices. That's not true of everyone else: if you want to back Star Citizen and participate in this amazing community, you still can. but it's going to cost you a little extra as of now, and you aren't going to have as many extras (no lifetime insurance, for example.)

     

    One issue which concerns us is what to do with the funding tracker. So we're going to throw the issue up to you: in two weeks, when the wall goes up, what do you want to see done with the tracker? Without the 'push' of the campaign it probably won't update very dramatically. but it's always possible it will go up enough to reach future stretch goals anyway. Should we keep it, remove it or put it somewhere else? We'll let the community decide.

     

    We also have previously outlined the 'behind the screens' subscription plans available now. They're designed for users who simply want to give us a little extra support during the development - you're getting the whole story, regardless - but we will have some extra fun for our monthly contributors.

     

    We can't thank you enough for everything you've done for this project. Please see the next update on 'The Pledge' for our promise to you. The next two years are going to be incredible for all involved and we're thoroughly happy that all of you are along for this exciting ride.

    Here's a link to the unofficial FAQ.

     

    This document is a compilation of replies from various developers in the Star Citizen team (Ben Lesnick, VG, Chris Roberts, RSI Facebook group), in response to our questions.

    This one blew me away.....

     

    Question:

     

    Please say we can pilot carriers like in the demo!!

     

    Answer:

     

    Chris Roberts:

     

    "So the game is set up so you can crew capital ships- even ones as big as the carrier that you saw in the demo - they all have a "captains" chair and can have various stations that you can sit down to do things - fire control, target selection etc. Turrets are also mannable. There will definitely be a use of this in Squadron 42 and well as the full persistent open world.

     

    We haven't made the decision on how big a capital ship a player or group of players can earn / control in the open world. But there will definitely be bigger ships you can buy / capture and fly with your friends. The Constellation will be good for 3-4 players and will have up to two manned turrets (not from the start, you'll have to upgrade to this) and a short range fighter in it's belly hangar. Think of it like the Millennium Falcon with a bonus light fighter.We'll have some bigger ships - maybe up to a destroyer... After that we'll see!"

     

    Simply amazing, this is the game I have been waiting since I was a child in love with space...

    A small flotilla of Destroyers crewed by the Legion Of Sparta.... Thats enough to make me
