This is fantastic news :)

Yeah I definitely thought it was pretty bullshit that they could make like 42mil from a kickstarter/crowdfund campaign and not even support linux. They should be doing a mac too they have far far more money than they deserve considering they havent even proven that star citizen is going to live up to any of its expectations.

When is star citizen coming? 2030? I think this is a scam, computers cant support such heavy and detailed scenes.
Also the non-existing ship buying for real money made me vomit

Same here, and I'm also skeptical. So far they've made pretty decent progress though. I'm waiting to see exactly how it all turns out before I buy it, same with Elite: Dangerous.

Wait this game still isnt out yet?
Apr 21, 2014 Rallen Bosessen link
Not even close.
The whole idea of this game makes me frightened. By its idea, you create a new life in virtual reality and spend real time for not real life. I woud rather go out to city with friends and be a REAL LIFE CITIZEN, rather than sit in front of a box for one thenth of my life.

I wonder if my Mother would be proud of me if I became a captain of a space-travel cappable space fighters carrier that is inside half a meter computer box.

Probably more proud of you than she'd be for you failing at spelling while bitching about other people playing video games that haven't even been released yet. Why don't you go outside, find some sweaty guys, and make mama proud by playing with their misshapen balls in public? Maybe if you're good enough, you could even get sponsored and become a professional ball-fondler, and have all your sessions broadcast on TV.

WTF seriously?

Yeah! Ball-fondling is a serious world industry and a major part of its various cultures. I don't really understand it much myself, but the common folk lap it up. It's a huge boost to the alcohol industry as well. Something about watching guys running around holding their balls just makes people want to get drunk, I guess. Indeed, some people get too carried away with it. Many schools actually cut back on funding to things like art and science in order to ensure they have plenty of funds to train kids in the proper fondling of balls. Though to be fair, they do at least try to ensure the kids have sufficient protection.

Ball-fondling is such a big deal that it has even spawned a derivative and simultaneous activity where a bunch of sweaty women climb all over each other, thrusting and shaking their bushy equipment, and generally try to entice the observers and fondlers both into higher and more enthusiastic levels of activity. It can be extremely provocative and dangerous; quite the spectacle. Many people come just to see it. And then occasionally there is a scandal when one of the men takes a break from balls to fondle breasts instead, but fumbles it due to his lack of experience. Breasts, while orblike at times, do follow different mechanics than balls, so the techniques don't always carry over without significant amounts of adaptation.

But anyway, the amount of money and prestige involved in men fighting over each others' balls in a muddy field can be pretty staggering even before factoring the additional funding they receive if they let themselves be sucked into the advertisement industry. Next thing you know they're showing up during the commercials of random shows in nothing but their sponsor's underwear, playing with whatever balls happen to be handy!

No amount of poorly written complaints in the forum of a niche game about some hypothetical players of an unreleased and unrelated game will ever generate the amount of motherly pride you could achieve by slipping up behind your rival and deftly nudging a lumpy ball out from his legs with your own nimble foot, gently patting it back and forth across the grass as you frolic across the field before ultimately stuffing it into a net and smiling in conquest even as he winces at the pain of his defeat.

Okay.

I was a junior champion breast-fondler in high school. I tried ball-fondling once but you are correct, the mechanics do not apply so I stuck to the breast-fondling since then and it's served me well. I even got to the nationals but had to pull out due to muscle strain at the last minute.

Was a pity, I was a real hope for the title but I guess we can't all be champion fondlers now can we?

They mentioned "sometime in 2015" for a release. We've all seen that before, but I'm hoping.

You have to read Pizzasgood's post pretty carefully to get what he is saying, and understand his sense of humor. The latter is not an easy task, grant you.

I agree with Rallen Bosessen to a degree (the "real life citizen" comment kind of made my day), but I understand Pizzasgood's elaborately made point.

the dog fight segment will be released in Dec 2014, IF you paid $5 for a alpha/beta ticket and bought a ship and hanger then you can fly in it and test it (So "they" say)

other than not much more than vaporware it does look really good. I think they only got all the kickstarter money because they had Chris Roberts doing it
