Me want carrier. ›››

Yup. And a possibility to fly it with your friends with everyone taking care of different systems of the ship and starting off your deck with their ships. Imagine being in and winning a huge space battle involving tens of spaceships in such a thing!

[Costin Moroianu]

Their site is down now...that's good right?

EDIT: They are apparently at very close to 5 million now.

MAKE THE CARRIER HAPPEN!

[HomemComH]

Their website is unable to handle the load. It's hilarious.

[Costin Moroianu]

5,4 million with 10 hours left.

WE HAVE THE CARRIER!!

[Sirnaq]

[Costin Moroianu]

He does actually. He wants around 12 million or so from investors for the game.

[Chromie92]

This looks amazing going from concept art to 3D.

[slimgrin]

Goddamn, I didn't expect them to get 5 Million.

[Costin Moroianu]

5,7 million atm

[Chromie92]

So, who's going to be my captain? *Looks at Costin*

[Costin Moroianu]

Sure. I am very much looking forward to piloting my carrier. I wonder though will we have any tactical command over the fighters?

[Costin Moroianu]

5.8 almost!

[Pangaea]

5.9 with 2.5 hours to go. Looks likely they'll make it.

[Daywalker30]

I hope the fighters are going to be piloted by other players that dock at your carrier.

This should interest you.

"Will there be "boarding parties"? I loved that element in Battlefront IIAlso, can you tell us more about the use of spacestations?The 10K donator package spoke about "private clubs". Can you elaborate on what clubs will be?Finally, will there be vacant spaceships or stations that you can salvage from? Imagine if squatter communities eventually formed inside a stripped, dormant spacestation />/>" Redditor

"Yes - you will be able to board, both in the single player Squadron 42 and also in the MP SC.

A private club is your own piece of real estate inside the SC Universe that you can set how enters - think of it like your own exclusive club that you can invite your friends to in order to hang out, plot or chat. If you're not on the list you don't get past the door!

There will definitely be some abandoned places -" - Chris Roberts

EDIT: Raised over $6 million! Now Chris will be able to get the extra $20 million. 2014-2015 will be great years for PC gaming.

Good thing we're getting a game and not a movie out of this.

Machinima's interview with Chris Roberts:

[gryphonosiris]

So far, Star Citizen, Tex Murphy Project Fedora, and the Leisure Suit Larry Redux have me excited about crowd funded games.

Star Citizen is blowing the rest of them out of the water, however.
