Please note: Discount cap is $100.)\n\nEach level of subscription can be paid for monthly or annually through the store.\n\nPlan vs. Pass\nThere\u2019s two ways to become a subscriber : through a Plan or through Passes.\n\nA Plan is a recurring payment that you subscribe to through your Payment Processor. It can be a monthly-recurring payment or an annually recurring one. Every time a payment is processed, your subscription is automatically expanded by one period (month or year, depending on the plan).\n\nA Plan can be cancelled either through your Billing and Subscriptions page or through the Payment Processor itself. Although cancelling a Plan doesn\u2019t cancel or refund any payment that has already been processed. If you\u2019ve already paid for a month, and you cancel your subscription, you\u2019ll remain a subscriber with all perks intact for the remainder of the month. Cancelling a sub simply cancels all future payments.\n\nA Pass is a one-off payment that grants you Subscriber access for a limited time. They\u2019re an excellent alternative if you can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to subscribe to a recurring payment plan. Passes also don\u2019t require a Credit Card to be purchased. You can even buy them with Store Credit.\n\nA Pass gives you exactly the same perks as a regular Plan, and also contributes to your subscriber history. You can even buy a bunch of them at a time and not worry for a while.\n\nCan I have both Passes and Plans in my account at the same time?\nCAUTION : passes should NOT be bought while you still have an active subscription. You\u2019ll end up paying twice for the same amount of time. If you want to buy a Pass, make sure to cancel any active subscription first.\n\nWhen is Jump Point released? When is Subscriber Flair released? How often is the vault updated?\nJump Point is released once a month, usually the third Friday of every month. The Vault is updated every Thursday. New Subscriber flair is issued on the second Friday of every month.\n\nI paid for a year up front, do I get my perks immediately? What perks do I get now vs. at the end of the year?\nSome perks take effect the moment you subscribe : Access to the Vault and Jump Point\n\nAccess to subscriber-exclusive merchandise\n\nAccess to exclusive in-game items\n\nOthers will need you to accumulate a certain amount of months of subscriptions to unlock : Coupon to the store (1 year of subscription time required)\n\nWhen will I get my coupon?\nThe coupon will be awarded to anyone who has accumulated at least a year of Centurion or Imperator time. The coupon will be single-use, on any transaction in the store, capped at a maximum discount of $50 USD or $100 USD (Imperator level.)\n\nHow do I upgrade my subscription from Centurion to Imperator?\nUnfortunately it is not possible to upgrade an active Centurion plan to an Imperator Plan. You need to cancel any active subscription and buy a new one with the Imperator Plan.\n\nCan I instantly become a long-time subscriber?\nIt\u2019s a dangerous thing to ask, but yes you can! But first you need to cancel any active subscription you may have. Once this is done, you can buy any number of month- or year-passes from the store. As soon as you\u2019ve paid for them, their cumulated time will be added to your personal Subscriber history. DO NOT re-subscribe with a recurring plan until the passes have run out their course, or you may end up paying twice for the same time period.\n\nI subscribe with Amazon, why am I receiving emails telling me that I have authorized payments to RSI?\nThis is because of a system change in RSI\u2019s payment interfaces, you will now be receiving emails from Amazon once a month, confirming your subscription payment to RSI. No new costs, simply a notification of the transaction occurring.","de_DE":"Was sind Abonnements?\nAbonnements sind Beitr\u00e4ge, die jeder Nutzer f\u00fcr das Star Citizen Project leisten kann.

Es kann sich um eine monatlich wiederkehrende Zahlung oder eine j\u00e4hrlich wiederkehrende Zahlung handeln. Jedes Mal, wenn eine Zahlung bearbeitet wird, wird Ihr Abonnement automatisch um einen Zeitraum (Monat oder Jahr, je nach Plan) verl\u00e4ngert.\n\nEin Plan kann entweder \u00fcber Ihre Rechnungs- und Abonnementsseite oder \u00fcber den Zahlungsabwickler selbst storniert werden. Obwohl die Stornierung eines Plans nicht dazu f\u00fchrt, dass eine bereits erfolgte Zahlung storniert oder erstattet wird. Wenn Sie bereits f\u00fcr einen Monat bezahlt haben und Ihr Abonnement k\u00fcndigen, bleiben Sie f\u00fcr den Rest des Monats Abonnent mit allen Verg\u00fcnstigungen intakt. Die Stornierung eines Unterseeboots storniert einfach alle zuk\u00fcnftigen Zahlungen.\n\nEin Pass ist eine einmalige Zahlung, die Ihnen den Zugang zum Abonnenten f\u00fcr eine begrenzte Zeit gew\u00e4hrt. Sie sind eine ausgezeichnete Alternative, wenn Sie einen wiederkehrenden Zahlungsplan nicht abonnieren k\u00f6nnen oder wollen. F\u00fcr die P\u00e4sse ist es auch nicht erforderlich, dass eine Kreditkarte gekauft wird. Du kannst sie sogar mit Store Credit kaufen.\n\nEin Pass bietet Ihnen genau die gleichen Vorteile wie ein regul\u00e4rer Plan und tr\u00e4gt auch zu Ihrer Kundenhistorie bei. Du kannst sogar einen Haufen davon auf einmal kaufen und dir f\u00fcr eine Weile keine Sorgen machen.\n\nKann ich gleichzeitig Pass und Plan auf meinem Konto haben?\nVORSICHT: P\u00e4sse sollten NICHT gekauft werden, solange Sie noch ein aktives Abonnement haben. Du wirst am Ende f\u00fcr die gleiche Zeit doppelt bezahlen. Wenn Sie einen Pass kaufen m\u00f6chten, stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie zuerst ein aktives Abonnement k\u00fcndigen.\n\nWann wird Jump Point freigegeben? Wann wird Subscriber Flair ver\u00f6ffentlicht? Wie oft wird der Tresor aktualisiert?\nJump Point wird einmal im Monat ver\u00f6ffentlicht, normalerweise am dritten Freitag eines jeden Monats. Der Tresor wird jeden Donnerstag aktualisiert. Das neue Abonnenten-Flair wird jeweils am zweiten Freitag im Monat ausgegeben.\n\nIch habe im Voraus f\u00fcr ein Jahr bezahlt, bekomme ich meine Verg\u00fcnstigungen sofort? Welche Verg\u00fcnstigungen bekomme ich jetzt gegen\u00fcber dem Jahresende?\nEinige Verg\u00fcnstigungen treten in Kraft, sobald du dich angemeldet hast:\n\n\nZugang zum Tresor und Sprungbrett Zugang zu abonnentenexklusiven Waren Zugang zu exklusiven Gegenst\u00e4nden im Spiel\nAndere ben\u00f6tigen Sie, um eine bestimmte Anzahl von Monaten von Abonnements zu sammeln, um sie freizuschalten:\n\n\nGutschein f\u00fcr den Shop (1 Jahr Abonnementzeit erforderlich)\nWann bekomme ich meinen Gutschein?\nDer Gutschein wird an alle vergeben, die mindestens ein Jahr Zenturio- oder Imperatorzeit gesammelt haben. Der Gutschein wird zur einmaligen Verwendung bei jeder Transaktion in der Filiale mit einem maximalen Rabatt von 50 USD oder 100 USD (Imperator-Stufe) begrenzt.\n\nWie kann ich mein Abonnement von Centurion auf Imperator upgraden?\nLeider ist es nicht m\u00f6glich, einen aktiven Centurion-Plan auf einen Imperator-Plan aufzur\u00fcsten. Sie m\u00fcssen jedes aktive Abonnement k\u00fcndigen und ein neues mit dem Imperator-Plan kaufen.\n\nKann ich sofort ein Langzeitabonnent werden?\nEs ist eine gef\u00e4hrliche Sache zu fragen, aber ja, das kannst du! Aber zuerst m\u00fcssen Sie jedes aktive Abonnement k\u00fcndigen, das Sie haben. Sobald dies geschehen ist, k\u00f6nnen Sie im Gesch\u00e4ft beliebig viele Monats- oder Jahreskarten kaufen. Sobald Sie f\u00fcr sie bezahlt haben, wird ihre kumulierte Zeit in Ihre pers\u00f6nliche Abonnentenhistorie aufgenommen. Melden Sie sich NICHT erneut mit einem wiederkehrenden Plan an, bis die P\u00e4sse abgelaufen sind, oder Sie bezahlen am Ende f\u00fcr den gleichen Zeitraum zweimal.\n\nIch abonniere bei Amazon, warum erhalte ich E-Mails, die mir mitteilen, dass ich autorisierte Zahlungen an RSI habe?\nDies liegt an einer System\u00e4nderung in den Zahlungsschnittstellen von RSI. Sie erhalten nun einmal im Monat E-Mails von Amazon, die Ihre Abonnementzahlung an RSI best\u00e4tigen. Keine neuen Kosten, nur eine Benachrichtigung \u00fcber den Eintritt der Transaktion.","zh_CN":"What are subscriptions?\nSubscriptions are contributions that any user can make to the Star Citizen Project.

You\u2019ll end up paying twice for the same amount of time. If you want to buy a Pass, make sure to cancel any active subscription first.\n\nWhen is Jump Point released? When is Subscriber Flair released? How often is the vault updated?\nJump Point is released once a month, usually the third Friday of every month. The Vault is updated every Thursday. New Subscriber flair is issued on the second Friday of every month.\n\nI paid for a year up front, do I get my perks immediately? What perks do I get now vs. at the end of the year?\nSome perks take effect the moment you subscribe : Access to the Vault and Jump Point\n\nAccess to subscriber-exclusive merchandise\n\nAccess to exclusive in-game items\n\nOthers will need you to accumulate a certain amount of months of subscriptions to unlock : Coupon to the store (1 year of subscription time required)\n\nWhen will I get my coupon?\nThe coupon will be awarded to anyone who has accumulated at least a year of Centurion or Imperator time. The coupon will be single-use, on any transaction in the store, capped at a maximum discount of $50 USD or $100 USD (Imperator level.)\n\nHow do I upgrade my subscription from Centurion to Imperator?\nUnfortunately it is not possible to upgrade an active Centurion plan to an Imperator Plan. You need to cancel any active subscription and buy a new one with the Imperator Plan.\n\nCan I instantly become a long-time subscriber?\nIt\u2019s a dangerous thing to ask, but yes you can! But first you need to cancel any active subscription you may have. Once this is done, you can buy any number of month- or year-passes from the store. As soon as you\u2019ve paid for them, their cumulated time will be added to your personal Subscriber history. DO NOT re-subscribe with a recurring plan until the passes have run out their course, or you may end up paying twice for the same time period.\n\nI subscribe with Amazon, why am I receiving emails telling me that I have authorized payments to RSI?\nThis is because of a system change in RSI\u2019s payment interfaces, you will now be receiving emails from Amazon once a month, confirming your subscription payment to RSI. No new costs, simply a notification of the transaction occurring."},"links_count":2,"comment_count":0,"created_at":"2019-11-01T00:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"6 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-05-13 16:38:20","valid_relations":["images","links"],"prev_id":13601,"next_id":13603}}
