I feel it's important to mention in the OP that Constellations have a small snub-fighter they can launch, which makes it great for people with roomates or partners that they live and play with. ...and also is a unique and ridiculous mary-sue ability. And furthermore if anything is comparable to the Millennium Falcon, it's the Caterpillar. I'm being hyperbolic, but if you're actually super into Star Wars or the Millennium Falcon: an asymmetrical highly modifiable cargo ship with a less than stellar reputation, you're literally describing a Caterpillar in SC lore.

Unrelated I love our sprites and a big kudos to the Goon that made them!

I thought the Constellation was supposedly the Millenium Falcon equivalent? Caterpiller has been billed as a more aggressive ship for boarding actions.

EDIT: Ah nevermind I see the point you're making.

  • Some Posters





  • Targeting Visual



  • Attitude/Distance



  • Mobiglass Menu



  • Very early FPS loadout

There's a lot of information that is moving, it appears difficult to read the information while the target lock is moving around. Hopefully they would move it to a static dossier.

If you're looking to be a "backer" of Star Citizen, I cannot stress this enough:


If you're unsure about which ship to get: Get the Aurora Package.

If you don't like the idea of dropping more than $35 on vaporware spaceships: Get the Aurora Package.

If you don't have a lot of money to burn: Get the Aurora Package.

If you are not a massive space-dogfight-trading nerd: Get the Aurora Package.

Every single ship in the game is purchase-able with in-game money.

There is significant risk this game is going to have terrible multiplayer and/or be a terrible MMO. Do not buy a ship thinking you're getting in on the ground floor of the next big MMO. Do not buy a ship thinking you'll be able to make a profit reselling it later.

Spend the money you normally would when you pre-order a massively hyped video game. NO MORE.

I got an Aurora package, is it worth spending any of the ingame money that came with it on weapons? I don't really see much point since we don't really know how good they'll be. Probably just gonna save to buy a ship with ingame money when it comes out.

Don't spend any of your free in-game money. The weapons for sale are going to be obsolete very quickly when the game comes out, and are not insured, so when you get blown to bits, your weapons do too (Ships have insurance, and are replaced when destroyed).

Further, we don't know how much play-time that money represents. 1 hours play? 2 hours? 100 hours? Who knows. It will probably end up being a trivial amount.

Save that money for later, when they give us a reason to spend it.

I don't think it's very fair to the backers of this game to say in the title that Star Citizen is not real. People who argue it's not delayed but instead will never come out are just trolls and probably jealous of my new Constellation, a bargain considering how many pubby tears will flow from it.

I should clarify that it's not real in that it's a fake space game but you're right, it's also not real in that it's a thing you can't play, only argue about and throw money at.

There is no reason to get anything besides the Aurora package. If you decide you want something more expensive later you can trade in your aurora package towards a different one.
The Aurora is available in multiple packs, one which doesn't include the alpha/beta so make sure to get the one you want.

edit: This is the cheapest game package with the alpha and beta access, $40.
Apparently I spent $30 on this game back in April and bought a "Digital Scout - LTI" package, which includes an RSI Aurora MR. It doesn't say it includes Alpha or Beta access. Is the only way I can get that to spend another $40 (not happening), or is there some sort of separate alpha/beta package that I'm missing in the store?

The only thing I spent my UEC on was fish, and that's because... well yay fish. You should definitely save your money and not get any of the weapons. We have no idea how much better they'll be than the baseline stuff. The only real upgrade I would consider is dropping another $5 for the Aurora LN package, because then you get two extra gun mounts.

Digital Scout - LTI should have included Alpha/Beta access. Go to your hangar and click on the arrow next to your package, it should show what it comes with. If it doesn't show alpha/beta access then you can probably contact CIG via customer service and ask them if it would be possible to upgrade your package to one that includes alpha/beta without losing LTI. They're incredibly accommodating and since you already have an LTI package it shouldn't be hard for them to fix it for you. You won't have to pay $40 to get access to the alpha.

That should have alpha/beta access. Go to your RSI Hanger and then click the triangle to the right of the Digital - Scout package, it should list details of everything included.
