Mo' Money, Mo' Systems (November 16, 2012)

[Dundradal]

Donations have been pouring into Star Citizen through the main RSI page and Kickstarter. The total yesterday passed $3.6 and later climbed to $3.7 million, unlocking additional systems and asteroid bases. Over the last 12 hours, activity has continued to be very high. The pledge total broke $3.9 million earlier today and is rapidly approaching $4 million.

Hitting the $3.8 million stretch goal unlocked another star system, Tal, and a bonus ship, the Aegis Retaliator heavy bomber. Familiarize yourself with the Retaliator over at RSI.

The Retaliator is the United Earth Empire?s premiere, if aging, jump-capable heavy bomber. Massive formations of these spacecraft running long-range strike missions is not an uncommon site around the fringes of the empire. With a distinctive elongated silhouette that is dotted with turrets and carrying a massive bomb load, the Retaliator is an effective symbol of Imperial might.

The Geggdon System was unveiled earlier today when the pledge total crossed $3.9 million. Along with the system update, RSI is asking fans which design they prefer for the Freelancer ship. Be sure to look the designs over and cast your vote!

​

The two options for the Freelancer​

Supporters over at Kickstarter just met another stretch goal and fans can now read up on the Origin M50. It's an interceptor/racer model that is sure to turn heads. RSI is also promising a special gift to the person who pushes the pledge total over $4 million.

Now it?s time for the march to $4 million? and we?re offering a great prize to the person who crosses the line for us: Mr. or Mrs. $4 Million will get signed Constellation concept art, a free upgrade to the next pledge tier and the FIRST ORIGIN M50 Interceptor off the assembly line in the finished game!

It just broke 4.1 million a few minutes ago. I give it a 50/50 chance of making it to 4.5 million before the remaining 56 hours have ended.

I say we make it to 4.5 by the end of the day!

I have the Hornet (Wingnut) but I like both designs Because I'm a Military Fan *g* I like Version 2. but for a Freelancer the first Option is better So I vote nr. 1. Perhaps we see Option 2 as another ship (heavy bomber?)

Wish I had the cash to get the Constellation package, but I'll just have to earn it in-game. ^_~

Lovely design! Since I can't afford to buy it, I had to make one myself!
