Welcome back, citizens! For those of you in the USA we hope you had a relaxing holiday weekend and that you were able to take advantage of the grace period for pledges.
That is now over. Anyone that joins going forward will have to pay slightly more for the base packages and won’t have lifetime insurance. The limited-time add-ons such as the Retaliator Bomber have been taken down.
Existing backers will still be able to upgrade to any of the original packages at the original prices for the next 12 months. As an added bonus for all backers that purchased a ship before November 26th any additional ships you purchase for your account during the next twelve months will have lifetime insurance.
We’re looking forward to sharing more about the game and the team in the coming months. For now, we are going to address several issues of immediate importance to Star Citizens.We will be sharing development updates as they happen, and will also give all our backers a “Weekly” report
We hope to have the new forum software integrated with the old forum content by next week, so you can be using a much more friendly and powerful forum system,
We also plan to bring a live webcast for our subscribers on a weekly basis, making this available to the rest of the community afterwards via our YouTube channel. Wingman, the Lamp and Sandi will all feature, as well as questions from the community about the game and interviews with various team members. We will start this webcast once we moved into our new office space in Austin next month.
Finally once all the Kickstarter Star Citizens are integrated, which will take a couple of weeks as we await final data from Kickstarter, we can bring up a “backer wall” and switch on things like Galactapedia, Engineering and the Holo-Viewer.
A lot to do, but it will be fun and we’re glad to have you all on the journey!
