One year ago yesterday, I announced the game at GDC Online in Austin. Yesterday, development team members from around the world celebrated a project that has grown faster than anyone could have imagined. We have you, our backers, to thank for this. It has been a great year, with an even better one ahead.\n\nWe planned the CitizenCon event to celebrate the anniversary with the team, who were scheduled to meet in Austin for our first company-wide development summit. As the event came together, we realized that we needed to include the community that made this game possible. With only six weeks between the Hangar reveal and the first anniversary, we didn\u2019t have time to book a larger venue that would allow everyone to attend (an impossible task even if we had had a dedicated event-planning team!) We opted to go with a livestream presentation, revealing some of the work we\u2019ve been focusing on in the last year.\n\nBut it wouldn\u2019t be a Star Citizen event without a broken website or two. We\u2019re still looking into what disabled the stream. Between the early disconnection, jittery video and the fact that the stream wasn\u2019t available at all in Germany, thousands of Citizens missed out on seeing the Gladiator and Retaliator, the start of The Next Great Starship, the announcement about CIG Manchester, and the Hornet commercial!\n\nIf you missed out on the reveals last night, I apologize. We went with YouTube\u2019s event streaming because we are partnering with them for The Next Great Starship. We did not realize that this would block an important part of our audience and result in the other problems you saw last night. We\u2019re looking into the technical issues and until we have the process correct, we will be using Twitch.tv for livestreams. If you didn\u2019t get a chance to see the event yet, you can find it here.\n\nI can tell you right now: next year will be different. Sandi and her team are starting the planning process now with an eye towards creating an event that Citizens from around the world will be able to attend in person. To kick this off, we\u2019re asking the community to choose the venue. Please vote in the poll below on where you\u2019d like to see CitizenCon 2014. In future years, we hope to alternate locations around the world to give everyone a chance to attend.\n\nThank you for your patience and the last year of incredible support. The best is yet to come. To both the game and the community, I offer an enthusiastic Happy Birthday!\n\nLast night, I showed a preview of the Hornet commercial. I explained that this release wasn\u2019t just coming in hot, it was laser-scorched and burning. In fact, we downloaded the cut of the commercial you saw as I was presenting. I was expecting to release the finished commercial and brochure today, along with a promotion putting Hornet variants on sale. Unfortunately, they just aren\u2019t ready yet. I want the Hornet release to be perfect, with a proper sound mix in the commercial and Hornet variants you can immediately interact with in your hangar. That won\u2019t happen if we rushed to get them out today, so I\u2019m delaying the Hornet release until next Friday. Check back then to learn all about the best dogfighter in the UEE fleet. If you would like to see the unfinished commercial, it will remain available in the recording of last night\u2019s event; an improved version with enhanced audio is coming soon.\n\nWith that said, I am not about to leave you without a new ship to enjoy! We have also been hard at work on other commercials and brochures\u2026 and one of them is ready today: the 2944 Aurora Legionnaire. The Aurora LN is a new model, first teased in the original brochure. With the success of the 300i video, I knew we had to go back and put together footage (entirely in-engine!) of Star Citizen\u2019s most-purchased ship.\n\nIn honor of this release, we\u2019re making the 2944 Aurora LN available in the pledge store. Purchasing an Aurora package or addon will make the ship available in your Hangar after the next patch goes out Saturday. Upgrades will be processed in a future patch. Remember, all ships will be available in the finished game; purchases today are solely to help with the funding campaign.\n\nAurora LN Package (Next Gen. Aurora)Aurora LN Addon ShipAurora LN Upgrade\n\nAt long last, the final ships of the initial pledge campaign are at a stage where we\u2019re comfortable revealing them. Please enjoy this early look at the Gladiator and Retaliator bombers, some of the most powerful fighting ships in UEE service!\n\nThe Gladiator is a carrier-based attack plane, inspired by aircraft like the Dauntless and the Avenger. The Retaliator is a heavy strategic bomber, Star Citizen\u2019s equivalent of a B-17 Flying Fortress! These ships create even more dynamics to the game, allowing players to threaten capital ships either alone in the Gladiator or together with a crew in the Retaliator.\n\nTo celebrate, we\u2019ve put both bomber add-on ships back in the store. They will be available through Monday, October 14th, so pick one up now if you\u2019re interested!\n\nGladiatorRetaliator\n\nWe also have a major hangar update for you this weekend! Starting with Saturday\u2019s patch, you will be able to see the Aegis Dynamics Avenger in your hangar! We\u2019ve also added a number of other features, including the promised fish tanks and the ability to swap into a privateer outfit!\n\nSince the Avenger will be now available in the hangar, we\u2019ve created a much-requested Avenger package for those users who want it to be their primary (or only) Star Citizen ship! The Avenger package is an upgrade of the existing Bounty Hunter package, offering the same extras with an even tougher ship.\n\nAvenger AddonAvenger Package (Advanced Hunter)\n\nFinally, I am very pleased to announce the launch of The Next Great Starship, our contest to let our backers create the first ever fan-designed Star Citizen ship. Building spaceships for Star Citizen is at the core of our development. We spare no expense in ship development, using top conceptual artists and the best designers in the industry. From concept to engine, it costs between $50,000 (for a single seat fighter) and $150,000 (for a large capital ship) to put a ship into Star Citizen\u2026 and now we\u2019re letting you give it a try. I\u2019ve been observing the game suggestions and ship models the community has been putting together over the last year\u2026 so I\u2019m certain this contest will yield some incredible entries.\n\nYou can click here to learn more about The Next Great Starship and to sign up to take part in the process.","de_DE":"Gr\u00fc\u00dfe B\u00fcrger,\nHerzlichen Gl\u00fcckwunsch zum Geburtstag, Sternenb\u00fcrger! Vor einem Jahr habe ich gestern das Spiel bei GDC Online in Austin angek\u00fcndigt. Gestern feierten Mitglieder des Entwicklungsteams aus der ganzen Welt ein Projekt, das schneller gewachsen ist, als man es sich vorstellen konnte. Daf\u00fcr haben wir Ihnen, unseren Geldgebern, zu danken. Es war ein gro\u00dfartiges Jahr, mit einem noch besseren Jahr vor sich.\n\nWir haben die CitizenCon-Veranstaltung geplant, um das Jubil\u00e4um mit dem Team zu feiern, das sich in Austin zu unserem ersten unternehmensweiten Entwicklungsgipfel treffen sollte. Als die Veranstaltung zusammenkam, wurde uns klar, dass wir die Community einbeziehen mussten, die dieses Spiel m\u00f6glich gemacht hat. Mit nur sechs Wochen zwischen der Enth\u00fcllung des Hangars und dem ersten Jahrestag hatten wir keine Zeit, einen gr\u00f6\u00dferen Veranstaltungsort zu buchen, an dem alle teilnehmen konnten (eine unm\u00f6gliche Aufgabe, selbst wenn wir ein engagiertes Veranstaltungsteam gehabt h\u00e4tten!) Wir entschieden uns f\u00fcr eine Livestream-Pr\u00e4sentation, die einige der Arbeiten enth\u00fcllt, auf die wir uns im letzten Jahr konzentriert haben.\n\nAber es w\u00e4re kein Star Citizen-Event ohne eine oder zwei kaputte Websites. Wir sind immer noch dabei zu untersuchen, was den Stream deaktiviert hat. Zwischen der fr\u00fchen Trennung, dem nerv\u00f6sen Video und der Tatsache, dass der Stream in Deutschland \u00fcberhaupt nicht verf\u00fcgbar war, verpassten Tausende von B\u00fcrgern den Gladiator und den Vergelter, den Start von The Next Great Starship, die Ank\u00fcndigung von CIG Manchester und den Hornet-Spot!\n\nWenn du gestern Abend die Enth\u00fcllung verpasst hast, entschuldige ich mich. Wir haben uns f\u00fcr das Event-Streaming von YouTube entschieden, weil wir mit ihnen f\u00fcr The Next Great Starship zusammenarbeiten. Wir wussten nicht, dass dies einen wichtigen Teil unseres Publikums blockieren und zu den anderen Problemen f\u00fchren w\u00fcrde, die Sie gestern Abend gesehen haben. Wir untersuchen die technischen Probleme und bis wir den richtigen Prozess haben, werden wir Twitch.tv f\u00fcr Livestreams verwenden. Wenn du noch keine Gelegenheit hattest, die Veranstaltung zu sehen, kannst du sie hier finden.\n\nIch kann Ihnen schon jetzt sagen: N\u00e4chstes Jahr wird es anders sein. Sandi und ihr Team starten den Planungsprozess jetzt mit dem Ziel, eine Veranstaltung zu schaffen, an der B\u00fcrger aus der ganzen Welt pers\u00f6nlich teilnehmen k\u00f6nnen. Zum Auftakt bitten wir die Community, den Veranstaltungsort zu w\u00e4hlen. Bitte stimmen Sie in der folgenden Umfrage dar\u00fcber ab, wo Sie die CitizenCon 2014 sehen m\u00f6chten. In den kommenden Jahren hoffen wir, dass wir weltweit alternative Standorte haben werden, um jedem die M\u00f6glichkeit zu geben, daran teilzunehmen.\n\nVielen Dank f\u00fcr deine Geduld und das letzte Jahr mit unglaublicher Unterst\u00fctzung. Das Beste kommt noch. Sowohl f\u00fcr das Spiel als auch f\u00fcr die Community biete ich einen begeisterten Happy Birthday an!\n\nGestern Abend habe ich eine Vorschau auf den Hornet-Werbespot gezeigt. Ich erkl\u00e4rte, dass diese Version nicht nur hei\u00df ankam, sondern auch laserverbrannt und brennend war. Tats\u00e4chlich haben wir den Schnitt des Werbespots heruntergeladen, den Sie gesehen haben, als ich ihn pr\u00e4sentierte. Ich hatte erwartet, heute den fertigen Werbespot und die fertige Brosch\u00fcre sowie eine Promotion zu ver\u00f6ffentlichen, die Hornet-Varianten in den Verkauf bringt. Leider sind sie noch nicht fertig. Ich m\u00f6chte, dass die Hornet-Version perfekt ist, mit einem richtigen Sound-Mix in den kommerziellen und Hornet-Varianten, mit denen Sie in Ihrem Hangar sofort interagieren k\u00f6nnen. Das wird nicht passieren, wenn wir uns beeilen, sie heute rauszubringen, also verschiebe ich die Hornet-Ver\u00f6ffentlichung auf n\u00e4chsten Freitag. Besuchen Sie uns damals, um alles \u00fcber den besten Dogfighter der UEE-Flotte zu erfahren. Wenn Sie den unvollendeten Werbespot sehen m\u00f6chten, bleibt er in der Aufzeichnung der gestrigen Veranstaltung verf\u00fcgbar; eine verbesserte Version mit verbessertem Audio wird in K\u00fcrze folgen.\n\nWenn das so ist, werde ich dich nicht ohne ein neues Schiff zur\u00fccklassen, das du genie\u00dfen kannst! Wir haben auch an anderen Werbespots und Brosch\u00fcren gearbeitet.... und eine davon ist heute fertig: der 2944 Aurora Legionnaire. Der Aurora LN ist ein neues Modell, das erstmals in der Originalbrosch\u00fcre geh\u00e4nselt wurde. Mit dem Erfolg des 300i-Videos wusste ich, dass wir zur\u00fcckgehen und Filmmaterial (komplett im Motor!) von Star Citizens meistverkauftem Schiff zusammenstellen mussten.\n\nZu Ehren dieser Ver\u00f6ffentlichung stellen wir den 2944 Aurora LN im Pfandleiher zur Verf\u00fcgung. Wenn du ein Aurora-Paket oder Addon kaufst, wird das Schiff in deinem Hangar verf\u00fcgbar sein, nachdem der n\u00e4chste Patch am Samstag ausgeht. Upgrades werden in einem zuk\u00fcnftigen Patch verarbeitet. Denken Sie daran, dass alle Schiffe im fertigen Spiel verf\u00fcgbar sein werden; K\u00e4ufe heute sind nur noch f\u00fcr die Finanzierung der Kampagne gedacht.\n\nAurora LN Paket (Next Gen. Aurora)Aurora LN Addon ShipAurora LN Upgrade\n\nEndlich sind die letzten Schiffe der ersten Versprechenskampagne in einem Stadium, in dem wir sie gerne enth\u00fcllen. Bitte genie\u00dfen Sie diesen fr\u00fchen Blick auf die Gladiator- und Vergeltungsbomber, einige der m\u00e4chtigsten Kampfschiffe im UEE-Dienst!\n\nDer Gladiator ist ein tr\u00e4gergest\u00fctztes Angriffsflugzeug, inspiriert von Flugzeugen wie der Dauntless und der Avenger. Der Vergelter ist ein schwerer strategischer Bomber, Star Citizen's \u00c4quivalent zu einer B-17 Flying Fortress! Diese Schiffe sorgen f\u00fcr noch mehr Dynamik im Spiel und erm\u00f6glichen es den Spielern, Gro\u00dfschiffe entweder allein im Gladiator oder zusammen mit einer Crew im Vergeltungsspiel zu bedrohen.\n\nUm zu feiern, haben wir beide Bomber-Zusatzschiffe wieder in den Laden gestellt. Sie werden bis Montag, den 14. Oktober, verf\u00fcgbar sein, also hol dir jetzt einen, wenn du interessiert bist!\n\nGladiatorRetaliator\n\nWir haben auch ein gro\u00dfes Hangar-Update f\u00fcr euch an diesem Wochenende! Ab dem Patch vom Samstag kannst du den Aegis Dynamics Avenger in deinem Hangar sehen! Wir haben noch eine Reihe weiterer Funktionen hinzugef\u00fcgt, darunter die versprochenen Aquarien und die M\u00f6glichkeit, in ein Privatier-Outfit zu wechseln!\n\nDa der Avenger nun im Hangar verf\u00fcgbar sein wird, haben wir ein vielgefragtes Avenger-Paket f\u00fcr diejenigen Benutzer erstellt, die wollen, dass es ihr prim\u00e4res (oder nur) Star Citizen-Schiff wird! Das Avenger-Paket ist ein Upgrade des bestehenden Bounty Hunter-Pakets und bietet die gleichen Extras mit einem noch robusteren Schiff.\n\nAvenger AddonAvenger Paket (Advanced Hunter)\n\nSchlie\u00dflich freue ich mich sehr, den Start von The Next Great Starship bekannt zu geben, unserem Wettbewerb, bei dem unsere Geldgeber das erste von Fans entworfene Star Citizen-Schiff entwickeln lassen. Der Bau von Raumschiffen f\u00fcr Star Citizen steht im Mittelpunkt unserer Entwicklung. Wir scheuen keine Kosten bei der Schiffsentwicklung mit Top-Konzeptk\u00fcnstlern und den besten Designern der Branche. Vom Konzept bis zum Triebwerk kostet es zwischen 50.000 $ (f\u00fcr einen einsitzigen J\u00e4ger) und 150.000 $ (f\u00fcr ein gro\u00dfes Hauptschiff), um ein Schiff in Star Citizen unterzubringen.... und jetzt lassen wir Sie es ausprobieren. Ich habe die Spielvorschl\u00e4ge und Schiffsmodelle beobachtet, die die Community im letzten Jahr zusammengestellt hat.... also bin ich sicher, dass dieser Wettbewerb einige unglaubliche Beitr\u00e4ge hervorbringen wird.\n\nDu kannst hier klicken, um mehr \u00fcber The Next Great Starship zu erfahren und dich anzumelden, um am Prozess teilzunehmen.","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nHappy Birthday, Star Citizen!
