The features you\u2019ve enjoyed for the past month will continue \u2014 the Comm-Link, RSI Museum and Time Capsule \u2014 along with much more information about Star Citizen and chances to interact with its development team.

We currently stand at $455, 590 raised from 4,564 pledges which is pretty impressive considering the outage we\u2019ve had.

This is our chance to tell the world: PC gaming and space sims are BACK!\n\nChris Roberts\nCloud Imperium Games","de_DE":"Als ich sagte, dass ich die Schwierigkeiten der alten Schule beim Spielen verpasst habe, dachte ich wahrscheinlich nicht, dass ich den Versprechensprozess schwieriger machen w\u00fcrde, als gegen das h\u00e4rteste Bossmonster in Demon's Souls zu k\u00e4mpfen!\n\nNun, ich auch nicht!\n\nAm Mittwochmorgen machten wir uns auf den Weg, um zu beweisen, dass PC-Gaming und Space Sims nicht tot sind.... und bewiesen es, das haben wir!\n\nWir sind absolut niedergeschlagen von der Aufmerksamkeit und gedem\u00fctigt von Ihren Kommentaren. Wir hofften, dass alle von der gro\u00dfen Idee hinter Star Citizen und Squadron 42 begeistert sein w\u00fcrden - aber wir hatten keine Erwartungen an die Art von Lob und Interesse, die wir gestern erhalten haben.\n\nDer Nachteil all dieser Aufmerksamkeit war, dass die gro\u00dfe Anzahl von Menschen aus der ganzen Welt, die versuchten, etwas \u00fcber Star Citizen zu erfahren und ihr Versprechen zu geben, unsere benutzerdefinierte Seite zur Finanzierung von Menschenmassen st\u00fcrzten und auch die zentrale Community-Seite herunterbrachten.\n\nBis dahin waren wir auf dem besten Weg, die Rekorde bei der Finanzierung von Menschenmengen zu brechen. Jetzt, drei\u00dfig Stunden sp\u00e4ter, bringen wir gerade erst die Kernsite wieder online. Die richtige Seite zur Finanzierung von Menschenmengen ist leider immer noch nicht verf\u00fcgbar, aber wir haben eine Backup-Site, die zwar nicht die gesamte Bandbreite der von uns beabsichtigten Funktionen bietet, aber dennoch die Zusagen der Menschen einhalten kann. Mit dieser Seite m\u00fcssen wir die Daten manuell aktualisieren, da es keine M\u00f6glichkeit gibt, die Statistiken zur Massenfinanzierung einfach live zu sammeln, weshalb Sie keinen Z\u00e4hler auf der Backup-Seite gesehen haben. Wir arbeiten sehr hart daran, die Hauptfinanzierung f\u00fcr die Crowd so zu gestalten, dass sie mit dem Rest der Website gut harmoniert, so dass wir das nahtlose Erlebnis bieten k\u00f6nnen, das wir uns bei der Entscheidung f\u00fcr die Integration der Crowd-Finanzierung in die Haupt-Community-Site vorgestellt haben. Keine Sorge, niemand hat sein goldenes Ticket verloren, und wir werden daf\u00fcr sorgen, dass jeder, der eine Zusage auf der Backup-Site macht, mit seinem Community-Konto verbunden ist. Bitte haben Sie Geduld, w\u00e4hrend wir diesen Prozess organisieren.\n\nWir wollten nicht nur Geld sammeln, um ein Spiel zu bauen, sondern auch eine Community. Die Absicht war nie, die Foren zu schlie\u00dfen, die Golden Tickets zu deaktivieren oder den Informationsfluss nach dem Start zu stoppen; alles andere als. Wir hoffen, dass du mit uns mitspielst, wenn wir die Community wieder online bringen. Die Funktionen, die Sie im letzten Monat genossen haben - Comm-Link, RSI Museum und Time Capsule - werden fortgesetzt, ebenso wie viele weitere Informationen \u00fcber Star Citizen und die M\u00f6glichkeiten, mit seinem Entwicklungsteam zu interagieren. W\u00e4hrend wir in diesem Bestreben vorankommen, sind Sie unser gr\u00f6\u00dftes Kapital; eine Vorhut von engagierten Fans, die uns helfen werden, dieses Spiel zu entwickeln und zu vermarkten.\n\nWenn du einer der gl\u00fccklichen wenigen Krieger bist, die sich gestern an den Java-Trollen und WordPress-Goblins vorbeigeschlichen sind, um auf die Versprechenseite zuzugreifen, vielen Dank f\u00fcr dein Engagement.\n\nWenn nicht, versprechen wir, dass wir diese b\u00f6sen Eindringlinge zur\u00fcckgeschlagen haben und bitten Sie, sich zu verpflichten und das Wort zu verbreiten, um dieses neue Universum m\u00f6glich zu machen. Wir h\u00f6ren Ihnen im Forum zu, sind bestrebt, Sie t\u00e4glich auf dem Laufenden zu halten und werden in den n\u00e4chsten Tagen einige aufregende neue Funktionen einf\u00fchren, die hoffentlich unser erstes Snafu ausgleichen werden.\n\nWir haben die Gelegenheit verpasst, den Rekord des ersten Tages zu brechen, aber das Rennen ist noch nicht vorbei! Wir stehen derzeit bei 455.590 $, 590 $, die von 4.564 Zusagen abgezogen wurden, was angesichts des Ausfalls, den wir hatten, ziemlich beeindruckend ist. Scheint so, als ob jeder die RSI-Konstellation und die physischen Leckereien will!\n\nAber wir m\u00fcssen das hier hochkriegen. Space Sims \u00fcbertrumpft RPGs in den alten Tagen, lassen Sie uns ein wenig von dieser genre\u00fcbergreifenden freundlichen Rivalit\u00e4t zur\u00fcckbekommen!\n\nWenn Sie Ihr Versprechen noch nicht gemacht haben, tun Sie bitte, was ich hassen w\u00fcrde, damit die technischen Probleme unsere anf\u00e4ngliche Dynamik zunichte gemacht haben. Wir haben noch einen langen Weg vor uns, aber ich habe keinen Zweifel daran, dass wir mit Ihrer Unterst\u00fctzung dorthin gelangen werden. Das ist unsere Chance, es der Welt zu erz\u00e4hlen: PC-Spiele und Weltraumsimulationen sind ZUR\u00dcCK!\n\nChris Roberts\nCloud Imperium Spiele","zh_CN":"When I said I missed old school difficulty to gaming you probably didn\u2019t think that I would make the pledge process more difficult than fighting the toughest boss monster in Demon\u2019s Souls!\n\nWell neither did I!\n\nWednesday morning we set out to prove that PC gaming and Space Sims are not dead\u2026 and prove it, we did!\n\nWe\u2019re absolutely floored by the attention and humbled by your comments.
