You can find the specifications below.\n\nPirate Ships\nIn other big news, we\u2019ve added a special tier and add-on to appeal to players who\u2019d like to start the game as a pirate! You can now add a Drake Cutlass fighter to your existing pledge or you can pick up a new copy of Star Citizen that includes the Cutlass. The package includes a tractor beam and a docking collar so you can start raiding commerce right off the bat! And if you live outside the law, you must look awesome: we also have two $5 pirate skin options, which you can preview right here on the Cutlass! You can pick them up here on RSI or by adding the appropriate funds to your Kickstarter pledge. This package is available only through the end of the pledge drive, so if you\u2019d like a Cutlass with free lifetime insurance, pick it up now!\n\n\n\nSubscriptions\nOver the past month we\u2019ve had a lot of requests from users who simply want to support the game. Some can\u2019t afford to spend $250 on a higher pledge tier right now but would like to help out every month for a small amount. Then there are those that have already backed for a good amount but believe so strongly in the project that they want help make sure we can deliver as much content and functionality as possible by adding a monthly contribution. We\u2019re honored and humbled by this. We welcome the support as every extra dollar allows us to flesh out the world with more ships, locations and features. If just 10% of the community helps out in this manner, we would be able to afford 6 additional team members. This would mean more artists to build ships and systems, game designers to flesh out missions and an additional person or two to service the community more effectively.\n\nBut we needed to sit back and figure out how to do this in a way that doesn\u2019t violate our core principals. To that end, we want to make clear that there will NEVER be a subscription needed to play Star Citizen. Once you have backed you should not have to spend extra money to play the game. Similarly, Star Citizen will never be \u2018pay to win,\u2019 so we are not going to offer a subscription plan that gives some users special equipment or additional money or any kind of edge in combat. We feel strongly that everything that affects gameplay can be earned in game via your actions.\n\nThe only thing left is telling our story: letting you follow the development of the game. But here\u2019s the thing: we\u2019re already doing that. It was part of the promise we made when you pledged for your copy of Star Citizen in the first place and, again, we aren\u2019t going to change any of our plans because it might mean more money. If you\u2019ve paid for the game, everything at the site is yours for the next two years: the Comm-Link, the Spectrum Dispatches, the RSI Museum, the forums and the live chat\u2026 as is everything we haven\u2019t rolled out yet, but will: engineering updates about the game mechanics, \u201cholovids\u201d of the gameplay as it takes shape, access to the Alpha and Beta and much more.\n\nInstead, we\u2019ve created an extra set of rewards and ways to follow our development for interested subscribers, divided into two levels: Centurion ($10\/month) and Imperator ($20\/month.) These are things that we\u2019re confident we wouldn\u2019t have done without the extra money and the time it allows us. Here\u2019s the rundown:\n\nCenturion: The ability to participate in the live monthly team \u201cshow and tell.\u201d We will answer twenty questions from subscribers (selected via voting system.)

As such, we\u2019re asking interested subscribers to purchase the Centurion or Imperator pledge from our main page. This will bill you for the first month. Once the crowd funding phase has ended we will then spend the time needed to properly implement a recurring charge through all our supported payment methods, which we will have up and running in time for your second month\u2019s subscription payment. We are eternally grateful for all the amazing support you\u2019ve given us so far and we don\u2019t expect any more from any of you.

Die Spezifikationen finden Sie unten.\n\nPiratenschiffe\nIn weiteren gro\u00dfen Neuigkeiten haben wir eine spezielle Stufe und ein Add-on hinzugef\u00fcgt, um Spieler anzusprechen, die das Spiel als Pirat starten m\u00f6chten! Du kannst nun einen Drake Cutlass K\u00e4mpfer zu deinem bestehenden Versprechen hinzuf\u00fcgen oder eine neue Kopie von Star Citizen abholen, die den Cutlass beinhaltet. Das Paket beinhaltet einen Traktorstrahl und einen Andockring, so dass Sie sofort mit dem Raubzug beginnen k\u00f6nnen! Und wenn du au\u00dferhalb des Gesetzes lebst, musst du fantastisch aussehen: Wir haben auch zwei $5 Piraten-Skin-Optionen, die du hier auf dem Entermesser ansehen kannst! Sie k\u00f6nnen sie hier auf RSI abholen oder indem Sie die entsprechenden Mittel zu Ihrem Kickstarter-Versprechen hinzuf\u00fcgen. Dieses Paket ist nur bis zum Ende der Pfandfahrt erh\u00e4ltlich, wenn Sie also ein Entermesser mit kostenloser Lebensversicherung w\u00fcnschen, holen Sie es jetzt ab!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbonnements\n\nIn den letzten Monaten hatten wir viele Anfragen von Benutzern, die das Spiel einfach unterst\u00fctzen wollen. Einige k\u00f6nnen es sich nicht leisten, $250 f\u00fcr eine h\u00f6here Versprechensstufe auszugeben, m\u00f6chten aber jeden Monat f\u00fcr einen kleinen Betrag aushelfen. Dann gibt es diejenigen, die bereits f\u00fcr einen guten Betrag unterst\u00fctzt haben, aber so stark an das Projekt glauben, dass sie helfen wollen, sicherzustellen, dass wir durch einen monatlichen Beitrag so viele Inhalte und Funktionen wie m\u00f6glich liefern k\u00f6nnen. Wir f\u00fchlen uns geehrt und gedem\u00fctigt. Wir begr\u00fc\u00dfen die Unterst\u00fctzung, da jeder zus\u00e4tzliche Dollar es uns erm\u00f6glicht, die Welt mit mehr Schiffen, Orten und Funktionen zu f\u00fcllen. Wenn nur 10% der Community auf diese Weise aushelfen, k\u00f6nnen wir uns 6 zus\u00e4tzliche Teammitglieder leisten. Das w\u00fcrde bedeuten, dass mehr K\u00fcnstler Schiffe und Systeme bauen, Spieleautoren Missionen ausarbeiten und ein oder zwei zus\u00e4tzliche Personen, um der Gemeinschaft effektiver zu dienen.\n\nAber wir mussten uns zur\u00fccklehnen und herausfinden, wie wir dies auf eine Weise tun k\u00f6nnen, die nicht gegen unsere Kernprinzipien verst\u00f6\u00dft. Zu diesem Zweck m\u00f6chten wir klarstellen, dass es NIEMALS ein Abonnement geben wird, um Star Citizen zu spielen. Sobald Sie gesichert haben, sollten Sie kein zus\u00e4tzliches Geld ausgeben m\u00fcssen, um das Spiel zu spielen. Ebenso wird Star Citizen nie \"Pay to win\" sein, also werden wir keinen Abonnementplan anbieten, der einigen Nutzern spezielle Ausr\u00fcstung oder zus\u00e4tzliches Geld oder irgendeinen Vorteil im Kampf verschafft. Wir sind der festen \u00dcberzeugung, dass alles, was das Gameplay beeinflusst, im Spiel durch Ihre Aktionen verdient werden kann.\n\nDas Einzige, was noch bleibt, ist unsere Geschichte zu erz\u00e4hlen: Sie k\u00f6nnen die Entwicklung des Spiels verfolgen. Aber die Sache ist die: Wir machen das bereits. Es war Teil des Versprechens, das wir gegeben haben, als Sie sich f\u00fcr Ihre Kopie von Star Citizen verpflichtet haben, und auch hier werden wir keinen unserer Pl\u00e4ne \u00e4ndern, weil es mehr Geld bedeuten k\u00f6nnte. Wenn Sie f\u00fcr das Spiel bezahlt haben, geh\u00f6rt alles auf der Website Ihnen f\u00fcr die n\u00e4chsten zwei Jahre: der Comm-Link, die Spectrum Dispatchches, das RSI-Museum, die Foren und der Live-Chat... wie alles, was wir noch nicht ausgerollt haben, aber werden: technische Updates \u00fcber die Spielmechanik, \"Holovids\" des sich entwickelnden Gameplays, Zugang zu Alpha und Beta und vieles mehr.\n\nStattdessen haben wir eine Reihe von zus\u00e4tzlichen Belohnungen und M\u00f6glichkeiten geschaffen, unsere Entwicklung f\u00fcr interessierte Abonnenten zu verfolgen, die in zwei Ebenen unterteilt sind: Centurion ($10\/Monat) und Imperator ($20\/Monat) Das sind Dinge, von denen wir \u00fcberzeugt sind, dass wir sie nicht ohne das zus\u00e4tzliche Geld und die Zeit, die sie uns geben, gemacht h\u00e4tten. Hier ist der \u00dcberblick:\n\nZenturio:\n\n\nDie M\u00f6glichkeit, am monatlichen Live-Team \"Show and Tell\" teilzunehmen.

Jump Point, das monatliche digitale Magazin von Star Citizen. Ein 4-6-seitiger monatlicher Newsletter, der Updates aus dem Team und neue im Universum erscheinende Star Citizen Fiction aus dem Autorenteam enth\u00e4lt.

Ein exklusiver Katalog von Star Citizen Abonnentenartikeln. Dein Name im Spiel. Wir k\u00f6nnen Ihnen nicht sagen, wo Sie es finden, aber wenn Sie es f\u00fcr mindestens 12 Monate abonnieren, wird Ihr Name irgendwo in der Star Citizen-Welt zu finden sein! Centurion Aufkleber f\u00fcr Ihr Schiff\n\nImperator:\nAlles, was oben aufgelistet ist, plus.... Besuchen Sie Cloud Imperium und sehen Sie, wie das Spiel gemacht wird! Abonnenten auf Imperator-Ebene d\u00fcrfen einmal j\u00e4hrlich (im Voraus geplant) die Star Citizen Entwicklungsb\u00fcros in Austin oder Los Angeles besuchen. Drei W\u00fcnsche - Chris Roberts wird pers\u00f6nlich auf drei Ihrer Fragen pro Jahr antworten. Ihr Name an der Ehrenmauer im Cloud Imperium HQ, wenn Sie sich f\u00fcr mindestens 12 Monate anmelden.

Daher bitten wir interessierte Abonnenten, das Centurion- oder Imperator-Pfandrecht von unserer Hauptseite aus zu erwerben. Dies wird Ihnen f\u00fcr den ersten Monat in Rechnung gestellt. Sobald die Phase der Massenfinanzierung beendet ist, werden wir die Zeit aufwenden, die ben\u00f6tigt wird, um eine wiederkehrende Geb\u00fchr \u00fcber alle unsere unterst\u00fctzten Zahlungsmethoden ordnungsgem\u00e4\u00df einzuf\u00fchren, die wir rechtzeitig f\u00fcr die Zahlung Ihres Abonnements f\u00fcr den zweiten Monat einrichten und ausf\u00fchren k\u00f6nnen. Wir sind ewig dankbar f\u00fcr all die tolle Unterst\u00fctzung, die ihr uns bisher gegeben habt, und wir erwarten nichts mehr von euch.
