+bryan connor %90 of people believed star wars would fail and its now one of the best selling if not the best selling franchises of all time so yeah i think star citizen will do the same
+bryan connor Funny, you thought of Star Wars, but for me, I thought of the new Star Trek movies. Almost like they were looking at the new reboots, and taking art direction from them. I don't mean that as a criticism, but as a positive thing. It's a picture of the future that a lot of people would like to be able to experience, including me. ;0)
Holy shit, I really hope these few videos just out really show people how this game is coming on and how CIG really are working hard at work to get this game as good as it can be!
+Henry Everitt People don't realize how much time and money it has taken just to modify / make new software just to make this game. Progress has been incredibly fast in the past year.
***** then takes my point more accurate about how we should not expect it soon because game development takes much longer but normally they announce it closer to release so we think its been quicker while in star citizen we see its development from start to finish
***** yeah and with more funding but most people think that when the game is announced about a year before release means they had a year to make it are idiots it takes time and money
+Chandler Rerie (MinecraftianPrime122) With a concept already, which takes another careful 2-3 years of back and forth before a game goes full throttle in production.....so...better say 6-8 years for a new IP similar to GTA.....which leeds to the conclusion, that this game needs even more time.....and they are fast...pretty fast!! You cannot stress that enough towards casual gamers, who understand nothing about game development. It is a good pace, other than some battlefield idiots are stating. :) They should simply leave and play their 120 dollar games....instead of paying 30 dollars for a 25$ ship + a standalone single player game with cinematics like wingcommander + a MMO sandbox game with lots of deep going professions and mechanics. So, I cannot help them 5 bucks for 2 AAA games isnt that much when seeing battlefield and battlefront with well over 100 bucks to play for just some dozen hours of unbalanced, half assed fun! :) Continue to feed EA. They only go to work everyday to laugh together about all the idiots buying their half assed products! :) I laugh with them
+Not Me I dont follow exact details of game, but if I remember correctly, Super Cruise is 1KM/s, Quantum is 1/4 of Speed of Light, then surely there is another drive/warp (jump?) system that'll be faster but requires more strict ruleset. Game definitely will not make it so that you sit for real days/hours just traveling to god knows where when actual persistent universe comes around. It wont be just 5 seconds, but not too long either.
+REC Filming | Cinematic Machinima Community | And then the engine suddenly stops working, the lights starts to flash on and off, then you find out you and your crew is not alone and you now have to survive and fight for your life on your Javelin with an unknown alien onboard, killing your crew off.
+Wolfbane_41 I enjoy Machinima. Always wished there was more for EVE Online but it's a bit tricky since they have to use a different engine for character activity. With SC the fidelity will be significantly higher and have everything you need to make space movies. I can't wait!!
STLWBK indeed it is :) but i rather play other games instead of thinking of what i _could_ be playing hehe. but i do think it will be truly amazing when it finally arrives
+PirateReviewer 2.0 is calling, its not vaporware any more, also actual game development has only been what, 2-3 years so far, go look at the dev cycles of any AAA game, they usually take 5-10 years total devtime. CIG is ahead of the curve and anyone who denies it is only lying to themselves cause they are jelly or ignorant.
TrueDesireHD "...but i do think it will be truly amazing when it finally arrives" indeed =) I too am playing other stuff at the moment. While I can ;-)
***** Hopefully when there's a big battle of capital ships, you won't have to process anything but the outside unless you board it. Otherwise the lag would be insane from having lots of levels fly around eachother
A beautiful looking ship so far. I aint to crazy about the off center bridge but thats just my OCD. I think i know what ship to work for when the game comes out if I decide to start a mercenary/shipping escort company.
Its odd but the layout of the ship, both interior and exterior look similar to those Republic cruisers from star wars. especially the mess hall and sleeping quarters on the habitation deck.
+Sir Aroun My question is why would you want to have bigger. I think my idris and jav is large enough. I will just see how big the other destroyers or battleships are. But so far i think these are large enough
If you crush this ship into something how will they make it so it doesn't lag like crazy. For example in ksp if you make a huge ass rocket when it crashes the game can practically freeze.
+Bill Nye the issue with KSP is that there are a number of small moving parts all with there own physics simulations they have to react to each other and there surroundings when force is applied. This is one model that is broken up in to parts that will always know how it's neighbor part is supposed to react to the forces applied. These kind of short cuts will allow them to have a believable ration with out sacrificing performance.
OH YES. And you know what? I finally have a computer to play it. GIMME THAT. You know I have the idea of a mercenary group who can be hired from Trading groups to escort their ships through the galaxie.
Please be available for purchase again............Please be available for purchase again.....Please be available for purchase again. This would be best birthday present to self.
It looks huge and awesome, but why so many empty cavities? Why didn't you fill everything with some sorts of pointless computer rooms or storages. Even without purpose they would add immersion similar to real life carriers (which utilise 100% hull space). It also would have been better for on-ship assault combat - muc more interesting to storm than just perimeter hallways
***** Not necessarily. There could be unfinished parts of the ship they didn't show, or some areas may not have functionality. Also, who's to say the ship can fly yet? You don't fly it, the computer just moves it around on a track during SQ42
Oh....can we use capital ships from a faction when we aren't really part of it? I guess the ingame rules will be set by the Community to make it real so I guess if Pilots or "Captains" have the permission they can use Military ships and weapons. That would be amazing. There are so many Community factions out there.
So glad I didnt put money into this game don't get me wrong I want this game to happen but with the amount of stuff that's in this game and the detail I think they are gonna push back the release date again probably won't come out until 2017 or 2018 which I'm fine with as long works well when it comes out.
I know it's a fairly small "capital" ship, and I've never been in a navy, but there aren't any officers quarters? The captain and department heads sleep in the bunkroom with the rest of the crew? Even submarines today have the tiniest bit of privacy for the senior-most officers. And don't most modern ships double-purpose the mess spaces for briefings? Not that it doesn't look amazing, I'm just thinking about it from the military-utilitarian perspective.
+Chasmodius CO and Captain have their own private quarters. theres a lot more to the ship they haven't showed. Brig , Armory, repair and supply ship hangar, modular rooms, medi bay,torpedo and missile rooms, rec area etc.
that's why SC is taking long. In addition to this they need tech to make this both clean and quick. and even though it's not optimized yet, I can run it at a continuous 50 ffps on my laptop. granted it's a gaming laptop but its not of this gen either.
ive got a i7 3900 6x (not sure about the real number) gtx 750 ti and i can run this game on low and medium graphics. I dont think that this is a monster pc
I believe your game will became famous in the game's univers like is star wars for the movie's univers.

I cry tears of joy. My computer cries tears of impending agony.
Love the music !
is it just me or did engineering look like the first area of Luke and Darth Vader's fight scene on bespin
Lightsabers confirmed!
this music... this feels so right!
Fractured is very excited to have one of these in our fleet. Can't wait!
Golden visuals and audio, I feel satisfied!
I really hope that it's not just big, but that you really have to work in the different sections (e.g. engineering room) to keep the ship running.
New way to win a war, fly a Javelin into people's screen, and their GPU explode, Boom-you win
+allen chen Thankfully they're implementing occlusion culling ;)
Don't expect quantom computers to become gaming machines anytime soon. Like, they may never become viable in gaming
Is no one going to comment on the friggin' AMAZING MUSIC?!
Holy SHIP!
I know the big sell is the persistent universe, but I am definitely excited for Squadron 42!
Im interested how we'll be able to use the briefing room, will we be able to craft battle-plans and upload them so they can be projected in game?
+wildboar222 I hope so , should be a simple mechanic to do like the old swat games had

Genial! Gran trabajo CIG, espectacular

J'ai la bonne impression que CIG passe à la vitesse supérieure :D
Thx Chris ROBERTS (and crew/team) for this real dreams :D
screw it... I'm joining an org and multi crewing in one of these.
PLS SC COME LATE AS POSSIBLE SO I CAN FINISH MY MASTERS DEGREE!!!!!!!!
+Pepe Lee me too ...
+Pepe Lee Im a freshman, rip my bachelor's degree
+Pepe Lee Literally my life. Im always rooting for big patches to come out at the beginning of my breaks...
I am at the perfect point in life that sc arriving will mess up high school and university, I won't even get a degree
I'm glad I literally have the best custom pc you build todate
bloody hell that things big, if i end up getting one i think ill need a map for it too xD
Excellent! But i prefer the bridge in the middle, not the side...
So is there going to be an Captains/Officers private quarters?
4 years later ,, we need a new update :)
Storage? Kitchen? Escape pods?
Its odd but the layout of the ship, both interior and exterior look similar to those Republic cruisers from star wars. especially the mess hall and sleeping quarters on the habitation deck.
What's the music? Cause that shit's golden.
THIS GAME LOOKS SO FUCKING EPIC.
game of the century
that thing is gigantic. id never be able to crew that. good org ship though.
+Bamcorp Gaming It is the largest player ownable/buyable ship in the game (PU) (well you can get bigger but then we get in event level stuff)
Sir Aroun yep
+Sir Aroun My question is why would you want to have bigger. I think my idris and jav is large enough. I will just see how big the other destroyers or battleships are. But so far i think these are large enough
Can't wait until operation pitch fork, would love to work on someone's big ship during the event
+Milo Keogh you can work on my jav or idris :D
+Milo Keogh correction i have 2 javs and 3 idri. but thats between a friend and myself
This is my dream ship
love the ship, hate the asymmetry.

Those bunks are fucking huge.
We need an update !
OH YES. And you know what? I finally have a computer to play it. GIMME THAT.
You know I have the idea of a mercenary group who can be hired from Trading groups to escort their ships through the galaxie.
Any idea on the price of this one? It blew my balls off.. so incredible.
+PoLaRIV $2500
Too bad, because a pair of balls is exactly what this ship costs.
Pvt. Duckling looks like I'm selling my nut sack
o shit O SHIT this is going to be epic.
This is the old Javelin model
Please be available for purchase again............Please be available for purchase again.....Please be available for purchase again. This would be best birthday present to self.
If this is available in game and is the same as the sale price of $2,500 it would cost about (UEC) $2m.
three times as much uec, so 7,500,000
It looks huge and awesome, but why so many empty cavities? Why didn't you fill everything with some sorts of pointless computer rooms or storages.

:( how far is the reclaimer in comparison to this??
your house vs the burge arab
Why was the Javelin selling at 2,500 a piece?
+Dragon Templar4 Fund raising for development?
YEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!
If they just started to work heavily on this, does this mean the Idris is essentially finished?
***** Not necessarily. There could be unfinished parts of the ship they didn't show, or some areas may not have functionality. Also, who's to say the ship can fly yet? You don't fly it, the computer just moves it around on a track during SQ42
+Alex Yen i think it's mostly finished, and only needs a few tweaks. probably all the big work is done.
+Alex Yen Both these ships have to be finished for squad 42. glad i have both lol
Awesome
Oh....can we use capital ships from a faction when we aren't really part of it? I guess the ingame rules will be set by the Community to make it real so I guess if Pilots or "Captains" have the permission they can use Military ships and weapons.
That would be amazing. There are so many Community factions out there.
How many player is required to use that ship?
+François «Dick Grayson» Bay minium players said to be 23 people!
François Bay 12 to 14
I will by this amazing ships IG but i think it will be very expansive
So glad I didnt put money into this game don't get me wrong I want this game to happen but with the amount of stuff that's in this game and the detail I think they are gonna push back the release date again probably won't come out until 2017 or 2018 which I'm fine with as long works well when it comes out.
There is no release date for the game. 2017 is a very likely release date though, as then the game will have been in development for 5 years.
***** Squadron 42 was confirmed by CIG for summer 2016. The PU has yet to have a release date. But it will likely be done in late-2016 to early-2017.
Well, time to scrape together what I can to get a good PC

+Grant Green Cool. We'll just have to wait for the full tour or the game release to see all those, then.
Chasmodius yip the idris pretty much has the same on it and we still havent seen all of that yet
also remember that idris and jav are modular jav more so than the idris . so you can change a lot on the ship
At a base bargain price of 1.2 Million US Dollars this can be yours!
If this game comes out on Xbox I just want be a crew member on a ship like this
+Elliot H PC exclusive
Django Lowe I can dream...:'(
You can, it's not impossible. It will most likely be the next version of hardware if it happens at all.
Can't even dream about it. Unless you want to dream at 10fps ultra low graphics 144p
Mind Faq true. that and the control system would be insane
No ejection seats, no buy :P
sweet
The FPS drop at the end scares me a little, but this is hair raising.
Shan can you buy this ship
its yours if you would rather buy a virtual starship over a real life car.
so when?
+KSB Turtle soon ™
WOW
rofl if you Flying solo with a dozen of BOTS as crew xD
+Cougar Rawr try 35 NPCs.... they are considering making this require a minimum number of players, but they're still on the fence
conan's theme?
+RemembertThe20thMain star citizen theme
i think someone used inspiration from conan
ETA 2020?
"But where is the game!?"
OMG !
I got tingly...
yeeaaaaa..... why dont you come back when you're actually finished
touche
Pls backers buy these things so the rest can play the final game without paying hundreds of dollars.
You only need to pay $45 to get the entire game and everything it has to offer.
probably gonna cost $1,000
expensive as hell check there site
blayke deshane ya $2500
some room look like a copy of the idris
Nnnnnnnnooooommmmmmgggggggggg..............
50-60% of the people that bought SC won't be able to play this game. You will need a monster PC to even run this game.

and i can run this game on low and medium graphics. I dont think that this is a monster pc
also, watch the ship pipeline vid. they explain some pretty cool optimization techniques there.
+Lorenzo b
780 + i5 4670k, good pc but not monster and run the game perfectly.
ram issues aside, because apparently 8gb are barely enough -_-
+Giorgos Chatziioannou (LezantasGR34T) Most people still play with 6-7 year old rigs, the only people with monster PC's are just the minority.
hey guys...thoose who wants this baby ..have to cash out 2500 USD! :) enjoy :)
I know i wont !!!
brb emptying bank account
I want to destroy it >:D
1 Bad lol
OMG OMG OMG OMG Shut up and take my money

no computer system let alone servers can run this! this game is a fraud!
