You\u2019ve caught glimpses of the base model ORIGIN 300i over the past few months and now we\u2019re pleased to unveil the entire line. We believe this ship represents some of our best work to date and that you\u2019re going to want one parked in your hangar! From the well-equipped 315p explorer to the powerful 325a dogfighter to the speedy limited edition 350r racer, there\u2019s a 300 Series ship for everyone.\n\nIn addition to the glossy ship brochure, we\u2019re extremely pleased to present to you the very first promotional ship commercial \u2014rendered entirely in-engine \u2014aimed at showing you just what you\u2019re putting in your hangar!\n\nWe\u2019re debuting the base 300i commercial today and then over the course of next week we will have alternate commercials for each of the variants, similar to how present day car manufacturers treat the launch of a new model.\n\nVIEW THE BROCHURE\n\n300 SERIES SALE WEEK\nUnlike the Aurora, this time we\u2019ve decided to make all the 300 variants shown in the brochure available for sale all at once! For backers who picked up a 300i before this promotion (or as part of one of the Bounty Hunter packages) you can upgrade to the 315p or 325a now with a cost-effective dealership package.\n\nDigital Bounty Hunter Package ($65)\nThe Digital Bounty Hunter package includes Star Citizen and Squadron 42 plus an ORIGIN 300i spacecraft and 2,000 credits to start with. Package includes exclusive access to the Alpha and Beta, a digital game soundtrack, map of the universe and 42-page manual. For new backers, this is your last chance to purchase a Bounty Hunter package with LTI!\n\nPathfinder Package ($75)\nDo you know you want to be an explorer in Star Citizen? Then pick up the Pathfinder package, which includes everything from the Digital Bounty Hunter but replaces the base ORIGIN 300i model with a capable ORIGIN 315p explorer. See what\u2019s out there!\n\nArbiter Package ($80)\nAre you ready for action? Pick up the Arbiter package, which includes everything from the Digital Bounty Hunter but replaces the base ORIGIN 300i model with a capable ORIGIN 325a fighter. Make them think twice before tangling with you!\n\nLightspeed Package ($120)\nDo you have a need for speed? Pick up the Lightspeed package, which includes everything from the Digital Bounty Hunter but replaces the base ORIGIN 300i model with a limited edition ORIGIN 350r racer. This package also includes an exclusive racing suit to match the fighter!\n\nORIGIN 300i Add-On Ship ($55)\nThe base model ORIGIN 300i combines style and grace with intense combat ability. 300i are flown by the hottest bounty hunters in the galaxy\u2026 who aren\u2019t afraid to show a little style! Take your game further by adding a 300i to your hangar.\n\nORIGIN 315p Add-On Ship ($65)\nThe 315p is ORIGIN\u2019s \u201cexploration\u201d ship, featuring long-range engines and a pre-installed tractor beam! Explore strange new worlds in the comfort of a brand-new ORIGIN 315p.\n\nORIGIN 315p Upgrade ($10)\nWant the improved engines and tractor beam but already own a 300i? Upgrade an existing 300i to a 315p at cost!\n\nORIGIN 325a Add-On Ship ($70)\nThe ORIGIN 325a is the militarized model, featuring pre-installed missile launchers and a centerline Mass Driver Cannon. The 325a packs a powerful punch and should scare off even the deadliest Vanduul raiders!\n\nORIGIN 325a Upgrade ($15)\nWant to battle it out with an extra Mass Driver and missile mounts but already own a 300i? Upgrade an existing 300i to a 325a at cost!\n\nORIGIN 350r Add-On Ship ($100)\nLimited time offer! ORIGIN produces the 350r variant for the best racers in the galaxy\u2026 and now you can own one yourself. The 350r features an upgraded fuselage with twin-mount thrusters to give pilots the ultimate advantage on the racetrack and off.\n\nI think you can see why we\u2019re so excited about the 300 Series. The brochure and commercial show exactly why Cloud Imperium puts so much effort into each ship. Months of work to produce a single vehicle may seem extreme, but the results speak for themselves: unparalleled detail that will get you into this game like nothing before.\n\nAs always, we are doing these promotions as way to bring new people into the community \u2013 the Aurora promotion managed to bring in three times the amount of people to the game that were previously joining and almost 70% of the dollars raised came from new backers which was great! If you are an existing backer please pledge because you want to support the game\u2019s development and our quest to make this the first fully community funded AAA game and not because additional ships are necessary for the experience. You will be able to acquire all of these craft and upgrades in the finished game using in-game credits.\n\nFor people on the fence about jumping in and backing Star Citizen, this promotion and next week\u2019s \u201cgrace\u201d period (more below) will be your last chance to get Life Time Insurance (LTI) with your ship! Those who want to jump right in to Star Citizen\u2019s roles will enjoy the 300i, which allows them to go farther, faster (and since it\u2019s an ORIGIN design, you\u2019ll do it in style!).\n\nI would also like to provide some details about next week\u2019s livestream and website launch. As you know, we will be switching to the entirely new Roberts Space Industries website on June 28th and are kicking off the long-overdue change with a celebratory livestream. The stream will be broadcast from both Cloud Imperium offices, in Los Angeles and Austin. Like the first livestream, there will be a \u201cmain\u201d camera showing both conference rooms interacting plus other cameras located around the office.\n\nThe existing Roberts Space Industries website will go down at noon CST on Thursday, June 27th. A 24-hour downtime is necessary for porting over our existing database and making sure it slots into the new site correctly. The site will be replaced by a static site with information during that time, but you will not be able to log into your account or access the forums. At 11 AM CST on Friday, June 28th we will begin a live broadcast of Wingman\u2019s Hangar that will culminate in the launch of the new site. After that, you\u2019ll be able to explore the new page, choose or change your handle and assign your existing credits.\n\nThe new site will launch in several phases. Friday will be the base update that replaces the WordPress system currently used for RSI. You will have a genuine e-commerce platform that will allow you to modify your pledges and make many changes to your account that were previously impossible. All data from the current site will be ported over and you will be able to access any Comm-Links and Spectrum Dispatches with a much improved navigation system that includes the ability to actually search for tags! The live chat and forums will also be rebuilt, with existing posts ported to the new forums. There may be a temporary loss of some forum features (like private groups,) but these will be replaced with new game-derived grouping features in the near future. In the coming months, long-awaited additional features like the Galactapedia and the Holo-Viewer will also come online.\n\nTo avoid the confusion that came with the previous livestream and promotions, there will be a one-week grace period for all pledges. You will have until Saturday, July 6th to pick up packages with the old prices and features, including LTI through the new site, as well as limited ships and other things offered during the 300i and Livestream promotions. This is necessary to allow Kickstarter backers to attribute their pledge credits and to avoid some of the customer service confusion we have experienced in the past.\n\nThe whole team is very excited about the livestream. If you saw the initial stream in November, we\u2019re aiming to have the same level of fun plus plenty more reveals. We have a lot of Star Citizen content to show off and a lot to talk about\u2026 and we\u2019re eager to involve the many amazing fans we\u2019ve gained in the past six months! So please, be sure to join us at this time next week. It\u2019s going to be one hell of a show!\n\nI sincerely hope you enjoy the 300i materials released today. Even if you choose not to add a 300 Series spacecraft to your hangar you should enjoy the new materials and have a good idea of just how detailed Star Citizen is going to be! I look forward to interacting with fans everywhere on the livestream\u2014see you there!","de_DE":"GR\u00dc\u00dfT DIE B\u00dcRGER,\nDas gesamte Team von Cloud Imperium Games ist stolz darauf, heute die ORIGIN Jumpworks 300 Serie von Raumfahrzeugen vorzustellen. Sie haben in den letzten Monaten Einblicke in das Basismodell ORIGIN 300i erhalten und wir freuen uns, Ihnen nun die gesamte Linie vorstellen zu k\u00f6nnen. Wir glauben, dass dieses Schiff einige unserer bisher besten Arbeiten darstellt und dass Sie eines in Ihrem Hangar parken m\u00f6chten! Vom gut ausgestatteten 315p Explorer \u00fcber den leistungsstarken 325a Dogfighter bis hin zum schnellen 350r Racer in limitierter Auflage gibt es f\u00fcr jeden ein Schiff der 300er Serie.\n\nZus\u00e4tzlich zur gl\u00e4nzenden Schiffsbrosch\u00fcre freuen wir uns sehr, Ihnen den allerersten Werbeschiffswerbespot vorzustellen, der Ihnen zeigen soll, was Sie in Ihren Hangar stecken!\n\nWir deb\u00fctieren heute die Basis 300i kommerziell und dann im Laufe der n\u00e4chsten Woche werden wir alternative Werbespots f\u00fcr jede der Varianten haben, \u00e4hnlich wie die heutigen Automobilhersteller die Einf\u00fchrung eines neuen Modells behandeln.\n\nDIE BROSCH\u00dcRE ANSEHEN\n\n300ER SERIE VERKAUFSWOCHE\nIm Gegensatz zur Aurora haben wir uns diesmal entschieden, alle 300 in der Brosch\u00fcre gezeigten Varianten auf einmal zum Verkauf anzubieten! F\u00fcr Geldgeber, die vor dieser Aktion (oder als Teil eines der Bounty Hunter-Pakete) einen 300i gekauft haben, k\u00f6nnen Sie jetzt mit einem kosteng\u00fcnstigen H\u00e4ndlerpaket auf den 315p oder 325a upgraden.\n\nDigitales Kopfgeldj\u00e4ger-Paket ($65)\nDas Digital Bounty Hunter Paket beinhaltet Star Citizen und Squadron 42 sowie ein ORIGIN 300i Raumschiff und 2.000 Credits. Das Paket beinhaltet den exklusiven Zugang zum Alpha und Beta, einen digitalen Spielsoundtrack, eine Karte des Universums und ein 42-seitiges Handbuch. F\u00fcr neue Geldgeber ist dies Ihre letzte Chance, ein Bounty Hunter-Paket mit LTI zu kaufen! Pfadfinder-Paket ($75)\nWei\u00dft du, dass du ein Entdecker in Star Citizen sein willst? Dann holen Sie sich das Pathfinder-Paket, das alles vom Digital Bounty Hunter enth\u00e4lt, aber das Basismodell ORIGIN 300i durch einen leistungsf\u00e4higen ORIGIN 315p Explorer ersetzt. Sieh nach, was da drau\u00dfen los ist! Schiedsrichter-Paket ($80)\nBist du bereit f\u00fcr den Einsatz? Holen Sie sich das Arbiter-Paket, das alles vom Digital Bounty Hunter enth\u00e4lt, aber das Basismodell ORIGIN 300i durch ein leistungsf\u00e4higes ORIGIN 325a J\u00e4ger ersetzt. Lassen Sie sie zweimal nachdenken, bevor Sie sich mit Ihnen verstricken! Lichtgeschwindigkeitspaket ($120)\nHast du ein Bed\u00fcrfnis nach Geschwindigkeit? Holen Sie sich das Lightspeed-Paket, das alles vom Digital Bounty Hunter enth\u00e4lt, aber das Basismodell ORIGIN 300i durch einen limitierten ORIGIN 350r Renner ersetzt. Dieses Paket beinhaltet auch einen exklusiven Rennanzug passend zum K\u00e4mpfer! ORIGIN 300i Add-On Ship ($55)\nDas Basismodell ORIGIN 300i kombiniert Stil und Anmut mit intensiver Kampfkraft. 300i werden von den hei\u00dfesten Kopfgeldj\u00e4gern der Galaxie geflogen.... die keine Angst haben, ein wenig Stil zu zeigen! Bringen Sie Ihr Spiel weiter, indem Sie einen 300i zu Ihrem Hangar hinzuf\u00fcgen. URSPRUNG 315p Add-On Ship ($65)\nDie 315p ist das \"Explorationsschiff\" von ORIGIN mit Langstreckenmotoren und einem vorinstallierten Traktorstrahl! Erkunden Sie seltsame neue Welten mit dem Komfort eines brandneuen ORIGIN 315p. ORIGIN 315p Upgrade ($10)\nM\u00f6chten Sie die verbesserten Motoren und den Traktorstrahl, aber bereits einen 300i besitzen? Erweitern Sie einen vorhandenen 300i auf einen 315p zum Selbstkostenpreis! ORIGIN 325a Add-On Ship ($70)\nDer ORIGIN 325a ist das militarisierte Modell mit vorinstallierten Raketenstartern und einer Mittellinien-Massenfahrerkanone. Der 325a hat einen kr\u00e4ftigen Schlag und sollte selbst die t\u00f6dlichsten Vanduul-R\u00e4uber abschrecken! ORIGIN 325a Upgrade ($15)\nM\u00f6chten Sie es mit einem zus\u00e4tzlichen Mass Driver und Raketenhalterungen ausfechten, aber bereits einen 300i besitzen? Erweitern Sie einen vorhandenen 300i auf einen 325a zum Selbstkostenpreis! URSPRUNG 350r Add-On Ship ($100)\nZeitlich begrenztes Angebot! ORIGIN produziert die 350r-Variante f\u00fcr die besten Rennfahrer der Galaxie.... und jetzt k\u00f6nnen Sie selbst eine besitzen. Der 350r verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber einen verbesserten Rumpf mit zwei montierten Triebwerken, um den Piloten den ultimativen Vorteil auf der Rennstrecke und im Gel\u00e4nde zu bieten. Ich denke, Sie k\u00f6nnen sehen, warum wir uns so sehr f\u00fcr die 300er Serie begeistern. Die Brosch\u00fcre und der Werbespot zeigen genau, warum Cloud Imperium so viel Aufwand in jedes Schiff steckt. Monate Arbeit, um ein einzelnes Fahrzeug zu produzieren, m\u00f6gen extrem erscheinen, aber die Ergebnisse sprechen f\u00fcr sich: unvergleichliche Details, die Sie wie nichts zuvor in dieses Spiel bringen werden.\n\nWie immer machen wir diese Werbeaktionen, um neue Leute in die Community zu bringen - die Aurora-Promotion hat es geschafft, die dreifache Anzahl von Leuten in das Spiel zu bringen, die zuvor teilgenommen haben, und fast 70% der gesammelten Dollar kamen von neuen Geldgebern, was gro\u00dfartig war! Wenn Sie ein bestehender Geldgeber sind, versprechen Sie bitte, weil Sie die Entwicklung des Spiels und unser Bestreben, dies zum ersten vollst\u00e4ndig von der Gemeinschaft finanzierten AAA-Spiel zu machen, unterst\u00fctzen wollen und nicht, weil zus\u00e4tzliche Schiffe f\u00fcr die Erfahrung notwendig sind. Du wirst in der Lage sein, alle diese Fertigkeiten und Upgrades im fertigen Spiel mit Hilfe von Ingame-Credits zu erwerben.\n\nF\u00fcr Menschen, die sich nicht sicher sind, ob sie Star Citizen unterst\u00fctzen wollen, ist diese Bef\u00f6rderung und die \"Gnadenfrist\" n\u00e4chste Woche (mehr unten) Ihre letzte Chance, eine Lebensversicherung (LTI) mit Ihrem Schiff abzuschlie\u00dfen! Diejenigen, die direkt in die Rollen von Star Citizen einsteigen wollen, werden den 300i genie\u00dfen, der es ihnen erm\u00f6glicht, schneller und weiter zu gehen (und da es sich um ein ORIGIN-Design handelt, werden Sie es mit Stil tun!).\n\nIch m\u00f6chte auch einige Details \u00fcber den Livestream und den Start der Website n\u00e4chste Woche mitteilen. Wie Sie wissen, werden wir am 28. Juni auf die v\u00f6llig neue Website von Roberts Space Industries wechseln und den l\u00e4ngst \u00fcberf\u00e4lligen Wechsel mit einem feierlichen Livestream einleiten. Der Stream wird von den beiden Cloud Imperium B\u00fcros in Los Angeles und Austin \u00fcbertragen. Wie beim ersten Livestream wird es eine \"Hauptkamera\" geben, die beide Konferenzr\u00e4ume im Zusammenspiel zeigt und weitere Kameras im B\u00fcro.\n\nDie bestehende Roberts Space Industries Website wird am Donnerstag, den 27. Juni, um 12 Uhr CST heruntergefahren. Eine 24-Stunden-Ausfallzeit ist notwendig, um unsere bestehende Datenbank zu portieren und sicherzustellen, dass sie sich korrekt in den neuen Standort einf\u00fcgt. Die Seite wird durch eine statische Seite mit Informationen w\u00e4hrend dieser Zeit ersetzt, aber Sie k\u00f6nnen sich nicht in Ihr Konto einloggen oder auf die Foren zugreifen. Am Freitag, den 28. Juni, um 11 Uhr CST beginnen wir mit der Live-\u00dcbertragung des Hangars von Wingman, der mit dem Start der neuen Anlage seinen H\u00f6hepunkt erreichen wird. Danach kannst du die neue Seite erkunden, dein Handle ausw\u00e4hlen oder \u00e4ndern und deine vorhandenen Credits zuweisen.\n\nDer neue Standort wird in mehreren Phasen gestartet. Freitag wird das Basis-Update sein, das das WordPress-System ersetzt, das derzeit f\u00fcr RSI verwendet wird. Sie werden eine echte E-Commerce-Plattform haben, die es Ihnen erm\u00f6glicht, Ihre Zusagen zu \u00e4ndern und viele \u00c4nderungen an Ihrem Konto vorzunehmen, die bisher unm\u00f6glich waren. Alle Daten der aktuellen Seite werden \u00fcbertragen und Sie k\u00f6nnen auf alle Comm-Links und Spectrum Dispatches mit einem stark verbesserten Navigationssystem zugreifen, das die M\u00f6glichkeit bietet, tats\u00e4chlich nach Tags zu suchen! Der Live-Chat und die Foren werden ebenfalls neu aufgebaut, wobei bestehende Beitr\u00e4ge in die neuen Foren portiert werden. Es kann einen vor\u00fcbergehenden Verlust einiger Forumsfunktionen geben (wie z.B. private Gruppen), aber diese werden in naher Zukunft durch neue, aus dem Spiel abgeleitete Gruppierungsfunktionen ersetzt. In den kommenden Monaten werden auch die lang erwarteten Zusatzfunktionen wie Galactapedia und Holo-Viewer online gehen.\n\nUm die Verwirrung zu vermeiden, die mit dem vorherigen Livestream und den Werbeaktionen verbunden war, wird es eine einw\u00f6chige Nachfrist f\u00fcr alle Zusagen geben. Sie haben bis Samstag, den 6. Juli Zeit, um Pakete mit den alten Preisen und Funktionen abzuholen, einschlie\u00dflich LTI \u00fcber die neue Website, sowie begrenzte Schiffe und andere Dinge, die w\u00e4hrend der 300i- und Livestream-Aktionen angeboten werden. Dies ist notwendig, damit die Geldgeber von Kickstarter ihre Pfandguthaben zuordnen k\u00f6nnen und um einige der Verwirrungen im Kundenservice zu vermeiden, die wir in der Vergangenheit erlebt haben.\n\nDas gesamte Team ist sehr begeistert vom Livestream. Wenn Sie den ersten Stream im November gesehen haben, wollen wir den gleichen Spa\u00df und viele weitere Enth\u00fcllungen haben. Wir haben eine Menge Star Citizen-Inhalte zu pr\u00e4sentieren und viel zu besprechen.... und wir sind begierig darauf, die vielen erstaunlichen Fans, die wir in den letzten sechs Monaten gewonnen haben, einzubeziehen! Also bitte, kommen Sie n\u00e4chste Woche um diese Zeit zu uns. Das wird eine h\u00f6llische Show!\n\nIch hoffe aufrichtig, dass Ihnen die heute ver\u00f6ffentlichten 300i-Materialien gefallen. Selbst wenn Sie sich daf\u00fcr entscheiden, Ihrem Hangar kein Raumschiff der 300er Serie hinzuzuf\u00fcgen, sollten Sie die neuen Materialien genie\u00dfen und eine gute Vorstellung davon haben, wie detailliert Star Citizen sein wird! Ich freue mich darauf, mit den Fans \u00fcberall im Livestream zu interagieren - wir sehen uns dort!","zh_CN":"GREETINGS CITIZENS,\nThe entire team at Cloud Imperium Games is proud to reveal today the ORIGIN Jumpworks 300 Series line of spacecraft.
