Urspr\u00fcnglich erhielten alle Pakete mit Alpha-Slots freien Zugang zu allen Vorabversionen von Star Citizen, einschlie\u00dflich des Arena Commander, Social Module, Star Marine, etc. Pakete ohne Alpha Access, die zum Kauf eines Modulpasses ben\u00f6tigt werden.\n\nUm ein breiteres Publikum zu erreichen, haben wir unser Gesch\u00e4ft so ge\u00e4ndert, dass Sie, wenn Sie ein Spielepaket haben, Zugriff auf alle Module haben!\n\nAlso, Alpha Access ist zu Alpha Legacy geworden?\nJa. Wir haben Alpha Access durch das nominale Alpha Legacy ersetzt, da alle Spieler nun Zugriff auf alle Module haben.\n\nWas bietet Alpha Legacy?\nFunktionell nichts. Alpha Legacy spiegelt nur wider, dass Ihr Konto eines der ersten war, das Star Citizen unterst\u00fctzt hat.\n\nWas war die Begr\u00fcndung daf\u00fcr?\nAlpha Slots wurden basierend auf der Anzahl der Server berechnet, von denen das Programmierteam glaubte, dass wir f\u00fcr unseren ersten Arena Commander Modul Rollout zuverl\u00e4ssig budgetieren k\u00f6nnen. Es war sinnvoll, den Zugang zum Rollout zu \"budgetieren\" und unseren fr\u00fchesten Geldgebern die M\u00f6glichkeit zu geben, hineinzukommen.\n\nUnser Gesch\u00e4ft ist jedoch stark gewachsen, und diese Funktion wurde f\u00fcr Neuank\u00f6mmlinge, die Fragen wie diese hatten, verwirrend: K\u00f6nnte Alpha Access gekauft werden? Warum muss ich einen Arena Commander Modulpass kaufen, wenn ich gerade ein Spielepaket gekauft habe? Wird es einen Star Marine Modulpass geben? Gibt es einen Sozialmodulpass? Ein 2.0 Pass? Wann ist Alpha nicht Alpha, sondern Beta?\n\nAlle diese Fragen waren vern\u00fcnftig und bedeuteten einfach, dass unser Gesch\u00e4ft verwirrend war.\n\nDa die Mittel von Star Citizen gestiegen sind, konnten wir den Zugang zu den Modulen verbessern, und wir hielten es f\u00fcr an der Zeit, allen Akteuren, die sich verpflichtet haben, freien Zugang zu gew\u00e4hren.\n\nAlso, was bedeutet Beta Access?\nBeta Access bezieht sich auf den zuk\u00fcnftigen Beta-Test von Star Citizen's Persistent Universe. Da dieser Launch in Zukunft noch nicht abgeschlossen ist, haben wir noch keine endg\u00fcltige Entscheidung \u00fcber die Anzahl der Beta-Slots getroffen, die verwendet werden.\n\nIch hatte einen Arena Commander Modul Pass.... was ist passiert?\nAlle Arena Commander Modulp\u00e4sse wurden als Shop-Guthaben auf deinem Konto zur\u00fcckerstattet.","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nIn the early days of the Star Citizen campaign, we had packages that were sold with \u201cAlpha Slots\u201d.
