Yes, and I doubt they can all be beset with delays and the struggle to live up to the promise. I can think of at least one or two on that list that are bang on course and coming along very nicely.

Enemy StarFighter, Flagship...
Never even heard of those. Thanks for the heads up. Will enjoy checking them out.

*not again. sry for the double post, and no way for me to delete.

I find this thread funny. And te response of people, actually acting in a mature manner, makes me proud of this community. A simillar thread in...

I have to agree. But in spite of drawing their ire a few times, I concede feeling the hawk like gaze of the frontier forum moderators also plays it part. They must share the credit.

I hope Elite Dangerous steals Star Citizens death of a spaceman feature in retaliation.

;)

What's this all about?

So there's some suggestion knocking around that SC have pinched some idea from ED?? No idea what this is about but I sincerely hope this is true. They are in desperate need of some good ideas. Perhaps they can start with realistic timeframes.

By the way that article was as painful a read as the first time I read it. If your intention was to punish me you have succeeded!

You asked what "death of a spaceman" was..... :S

Thanks. I didn't know about either Flagship or Enemy Starfighter, and both look interesting! ;)
 
I'm really looking forward to seeing what is released at SC.

It's not my favourite ice cream, but it'll be interesting to try it at least.

Mods will probably shoot me up for this, but I wonder how many different helmet flipping animations there will be when I step into my tubby Freelancer, and get to shoot disco light lazerbeems at erm, probably fish :)
 
He's on about the 5 bucks "pass" to allow you to participate in the alpha dogfighting if you don't already have an account which gives you alpha access - those slots have "ran out" but they are squeezing more cash out of us to allow you to participate in it.

I fully expect the "Hey it's alpha" comment/argument to be touted a lot.

And to the mods: In my opinion, you should totally lock this thread permanently, because it seems to be infested with trolling.
 
As said before the alpha slots packages have a limit around 180k from what i remember. The extra 5 dollars is for infrastructure and extra revenue. Which is pretty awesome compared to Elite's 150 dollar package that you need to get to play the earlier alpha releases.

Ah, I see...thanks.

Not really, because here you get to play Alpha only (essentially, you're an alpha-tester for them) for $5, in Elite you get the whole game + Alpha.
 
Elite: Dangerous is £100 (c.$160?) for Game, expansion pass and Premium Beta.

Post 180k alpha slot runout :

Star Citizen release package = 30 dollars.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/store/315-aurora-mr

Star Citizen Beta package = 40 dollars.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/store/316-aurora-mr

Star Citizen Beta + Arena Commander Alpha package = 45 dollars.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/store/316-aurora-mr + https://robertsspaceindustries.com/store/403-arena-commander-pass

Before the alpha slots ran out once you had an alpha game package you could take part of all alphas. Now each module up to the BETA will cost 5 dollars. 3 Modules are expected so that should be around 15 dollars on top of BETA if you want to play all. Resulting in 55 dollars.

And how do the 'Test Pilot' Passes fit in?

No idea they are not out yet? But they are apparently 24 hour test flight periods given to subscribers for free. It's meant to provide people a test drive before making huge investments in to new ships as they are not cheap. All that stuff is optional though.

If people want it they can get it. There seems to be demand for it from what i saw.
