Their sturdy, dedicated trading ships are prized beyond all other transports, sometimes passing from generation to generation of Banu.

Hier ist das Stretch-Ziel, das du f\u00fcr 27 Millionen Dollar freigeschaltet hast:\n\nBanu Merchantman Unlocked - Banu-H\u00e4ndler sind bekannt f\u00fcr ihre F\u00e4higkeiten als H\u00e4ndler, die die Spacelanes bereisen und mit jedem handeln, von Menschen bis zur Vanduul! Ihre robusten, engagierten Handelsschiffe werden \u00fcber alle anderen Transporte hinaus gesch\u00e4tzt und reichen manchmal von Generation zu Generation von Banu. Mit 23 Millionen Dollar haben wir zus\u00e4tzliche Ressourcen investiert, um Xi'An Raumschiffe zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis zu machen. Bei 27 Millionen Dollar werden wir dieses Denken auf die Banu ausdehnen! Beginnend mit dem Handelsschiff wird das Designteam die Banu-Technologie erweitern, um den Spielern eine v\u00f6llig andere M\u00f6glichkeit zu bieten, ihr Universum zu erleben. Wir sind gespannt auf den Bau der Banu-Raumfahrtsysteme.... beobachten Sie diesen Raum, um zu erfahren, wie wir ihn zu einer besonderen Erfahrung machen k\u00f6nnen, wenn wir ein von Menschen entworfenes Schiff fliegen. Und da wir dieses Ziel vor dem 26. November erreicht haben, wird der Banu-H\u00e4ndler eines der w\u00e4hrend des Verkaufs verf\u00fcgbaren Schiffe sein (Sie haben es hier zuerst geh\u00f6rt!).\n\nNachdem wir nun 27 Millionen Dollar erreicht haben, wird das Banu-Handelsschiff zur weiteren Entwicklung an Top-Konzeptk\u00fcnstler geschickt. In der Zwischenzeit m\u00f6chte ich Ihnen einige der Kunstwerke vorstellen, die sich aus dem vorherigen Xi'An-Streckziel ergeben haben: das erste Konzeptbild eines Xi'An-Hauptschiffes!\n\nWir werden das 29 Millionen Dollar Stretch-Ziel auf mehr Ressourcen f\u00fcr das Einzelspieler-Spiel Squadron 42 verwenden. Mit Erin Roberts und den anderen Veteranen der Foundry 42, die hart an der Arbeit an dem Spiel arbeiten, k\u00f6nnen Sie darauf vertrauen, dass es gro\u00dfartig werden wird. Jetzt m\u00f6chten wir ihnen einige zus\u00e4tzliche Ressourcen geben, mit denen sie arbeiten k\u00f6nnen!\n\nVerbessertes Missionsdesign f\u00fcr Staffel 42 - Das Team von Foundry 42 hat gro\u00dfe Pl\u00e4ne f\u00fcr Staffel 42, und wir werden zus\u00e4tzliche Mittel bereitstellen, um sie zu einem echten spirituellen Nachfolger des Wing Commander zu machen! Staffel 42 kann \u00fcber alles hinausgehen, was Sie bisher gesehen haben. Von der Er\u00f6ffnung mit einer epischen Schlacht anstelle einer Trainingspatrouille bis hin zu Missionen, die Boarding und Weltraumkampf nahtlos miteinander verbinden, wollen wir Sie direkt in die Action einbeziehen! Zus\u00e4tzliche Mittel werden es dem Team erm\u00f6glichen, dies zu realisieren, mit verbessertem Missionsdesign und mehr Ressourcen und Animationen, um die Treue zu verbessern. Gro\u00dfe Verlage waren seit langem nicht mehr bereit, diese Art von Geld in die Verbesserung von PC-Spielen zu investieren.... wir werden beweisen, dass es sich lohnt. Das w\u00e4re ohne deine Unterst\u00fctzung nicht m\u00f6glich; vielen Dank an alle Geldgeber, die geholfen haben, dieses Spiel zu erm\u00f6glichen.\n\n- Chris Roberts","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nFirst the Xi\u2019an and now the Banu \u2013 Star Citizen\u2019s backers are making it possible to greatly expand the user experience!
