Star Citizen smashed crowd funding record - now @ $5.6M - 6hrs to go.
 

Reached $5.6M with 6hours to go!

Last chance to pledge and get lifetime insurance on your ship!!!

"$5.5 million! You’ve unlocked the Bengal carrier, added motion capture to Squadron 42 and earned the exclusive Record Breaker skin.

When we set out to crowd-fund Star Citizen we asked for two million dollars, the absolute minimum with which we thought we could build a solid game. And then we planned stretch goals so that we could include everything else we imagined. We expected three million, hoped for four million, dreamed of five million and so on. And the absolute top option, the impossible dream, was six million.

Six million was what it would take us to build the game we were imagining with all the bells and whistles we wanted included. Well, here we are with just over eight hours to go and that impossible goal where everything is unlocked is suddenly in sight. At six million you’ll launch the game with 100 systems, a full orchestral score and a free copy of the first Squadron 42 mission disk, Behind Enemy Lines.

It’s not as sexy as the carrier, for sure, but would certainly be pretty amazing if we met every one of our goals. So let’s push this campaign all the way to the last minute. We can make this march!"

This game looks awesome. I was a huge fan of the XWING and TIE FIGHTER games of the 90s growing up. Good to see people support a space sim on the pc.

I have no idea what the game is BUT if the costs for a game were worked out like that what were, and what should've been the costs allowed for CLOD - - Makes you wonder.:???:

I think they borrowed a bit from EVE Online with trying to have an open market and building the ships. It still looks promising.

I'm planning a game incorporationg all of the aircraft we know from IL2 1946 yet with modern graphics and with a state of the art game engine. The plan is for it to be engineered using technology that will eliminate the bugs we see in CoD.

I need 2 million this year followed by a further 3 million for the next 8 years.

Please give generously.
