We\u2019ll be sharing some additional footage later in the week to let everyone see what we weren\u2019t able to show at the event! Technical glitches aside, it was extremely gratifying to see everyone\u2019s reactions; everyone who got their hands on the game loved it, and more importantly, they immediately understood where we\u2019re going for Star Citizen. I can\u2019t wait to be able to share it with the entire community that has made the project possible.\n\nAt $42 million, you unlocked several celebratory goals:\n\nUpdated Observist Guide \u2013 Additional funding from the $42 million level will go to expanding the website area of the Galactapedia: expect to see holographic ships, items and navigation interface in 3D! Imagine admiring your ships or planning your loadouts right here at the RSI website.\n\nExplorer-class mobiGlas Rig \u2013 Every player who backed before we hit $42 million will start the game with their own, visually distinctive mobiGlas \u201cExoGlas\u201d rig which can be used to access the Observist at any time. I\u2019ve charged the mobiGlas team with a very difficult task: creating a realistic interface that will help keep your affairs in order in an expansive galaxy. It\u2019s almost like building our own in fiction operating system for an imagined future, and it\u2019s very different task than building spaceships. This backer-exclusive mobiGlas kit will come pre-loaded with additional galactic information that new players would ordinarily need to explore or barter to fill out; it\u2019s our way of honoring the information you\u2019ve collected about the Star Citizen universe through the RSI site and community over the past year!\n\nGladius \u2013 The Squadron 42 team will develop an additional fighter for the game, the Aegis Dynamics Gladius-class light fighter. The Gladius will be the first fighter built entirely from concept to CryEngine in the UK! Here\u2019s the official description: The Aegis Gladius is the UEE\u2019s reigning light short-range patrol fighter. A single-seat ship with no room for expansion, the Gladius is fast, maneuverable and capable of punching far above its weight. The main advantage to the design is simplicity: cheap to produce, easy to repair and outfit and quick to train new pilots on. The Gladius is an aging design nearing the end of its life-cycle, although iterative updates have kept it the most nimble fighter in the active fleet.\n\nTowel \u2013 And of course, everyone who backs before we hit $42 million will also receive a towel for their hangar. Don\u2019t explore the galaxy without it!\n\nThe team has put together some preliminary art for the towel, included in this post. Use your Observist towels with pride, they\u2019re only available to backers who supported us before this level! (Just like Arena Commander itself, we\u2019ve tried to come up with fiction to go with the towel: it\u2019s the incentive reward your character got for subscribing to The Observist in the first place.)\n\nFor the $44 million goal, you\u2019ve voted for an additional hangar room. The Hangar room system is currently being developed at Behaviour and will premiere with the upcoming asteroid hangar.

Your map room will start with a basic guide to the United Empire of Earth, and will expand into something that is unique to you as you explore uncharted worlds and discover new secrets. Build the most in-depth universe map possible and show it off to visitors, or lock down your secret jump points and hidden trading posts so that no one else can follow. Interface directly with the Observist guide to find out everything from what ores are in demand on MacArthur to who serves the best pasta on Terra. And with the ability to leave your own notes about your encounters and travels, it\u2019s more than a map: it\u2019s your digital diary!\n\nThe development team is back at work today getting the dogfighting module ready for its full release. As always, thank you: none of what you saw last week would have been possible without the support of our backers. Hitting $42 million means that even more resources are going into the \u2018verse! Finally, remember to vote in the poll below, which will select the $45 million stretch goal reward item.","de_DE":"Gr\u00fc\u00dfe B\u00fcrger,\n42 Millionen Dollar an Publikumsfinanzierung! Ich kann mir keinen besseren symbolischen Sieg vorstellen, als diese Zahl in der Massenfinanzierung zu erreichen. Der \"Sinn des Lebens, des Universums und alles\" ist jetzt der Betrag, der versprochen wurde, damit wir ein neues Universum aufbauen k\u00f6nnen!\n\nIch m\u00f6chte so vielen von euch danken, dass sie nach PAX East gekommen sind, um den Arena Commander enth\u00fcllen zu sehen. Wir werden sp\u00e4ter in der Woche zus\u00e4tzliches Filmmaterial teilen, damit jeder sehen kann, was wir bei der Veranstaltung nicht zeigen konnten! Abgesehen von technischen St\u00f6rungen war es \u00e4u\u00dferst erfreulich, die Reaktionen aller zu sehen; alle, die das Spiel in die Finger bekommen haben, liebten es, und was noch wichtiger ist, sie haben sofort verstanden, wohin wir mit Star Citizen gehen. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, es mit der gesamten Gemeinschaft zu teilen, die das Projekt erm\u00f6glicht hat.\n\nBei 42 Millionen Dollar hast du mehrere Festziele freigeschaltet:\n\nAktualisierter Observist Guide - Zus\u00e4tzliche Mittel aus dem 42-Millionen-Dollar-Bereich werden in den Ausbau des Website-Bereichs der Galactapedia flie\u00dfen: Erwarten Sie holografische Schiffe, Gegenst\u00e4nde und Navigationsschnittstelle in 3D! Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie bewundern Ihre Schiffe oder planen Ihre Ladungen direkt hier auf der RSI-Website. Explorer-Klasse mobiGlas Rig - Jeder Spieler, der vor Erreichen von 42 Millionen Dollar unterst\u00fctzt hat, startet das Spiel mit seinem eigenen, optisch unverwechselbaren mobiGlas \"ExoGlas\" Rig, mit dem er jederzeit auf den Observist zugreifen kann. Ich habe das mobiGlas-Team mit einer sehr schwierigen Aufgabe betraut: eine realistische Oberfl\u00e4che zu schaffen, die Ihnen hilft, Ihre Angelegenheiten in einer weitl\u00e4ufigen Galaxie in Ordnung zu halten. Es ist fast so, als w\u00fcrde man f\u00fcr eine imagin\u00e4re Zukunft unser eigenes fiktives Betriebssystem bauen, und es ist eine ganz andere Aufgabe als der Bau von Raumschiffen. Dieses Backer-exklusive mobiGlas-Kit wird mit zus\u00e4tzlichen galaktischen Informationen vorinstalliert, die neue Spieler normalerweise erforschen oder tauschen m\u00fcssten, um sie auszuf\u00fcllen; es ist unsere Art, die Informationen, die Sie im letzten Jahr \u00fcber die RSI-Website und die Community \u00fcber das Star Citizen-Universum gesammelt haben, zu honorieren! Gladius - Das Team der Staffel 42 wird einen zus\u00e4tzlichen K\u00e4mpfer f\u00fcr das Spiel entwickeln, den leichten K\u00e4mpfer der Aegis Dynamics Gladius-Klasse. Die Gladius wird das erste Jagdflugzeug sein, das komplett vom Konzept bis zur CryEngine in Gro\u00dfbritannien gebaut wird! Hier ist die offizielle Beschreibung: Die Aegis Gladius ist der amtierende leichte Kurzstrecken-Patrouillenj\u00e4ger der UEE. Als einsitziges Schiff ohne Raum f\u00fcr Expansion ist die Gladius schnell, wendig und in der Lage, weit \u00fcber ihrem Gewicht zu schlagen. Der Hauptvorteil des Designs ist die Einfachheit: billig in der Herstellung, einfach in der Reparatur und Ausstattung und schnell in der Schulung neuer Piloten. Die Gladius ist ein alterndes Design, das sich dem Ende seines Lebenszyklus n\u00e4hert, obwohl iterative Updates sie zum flinksten J\u00e4ger der aktiven Flotte gemacht haben. Handtuch - Und nat\u00fcrlich erh\u00e4lt jeder, der vor unserem 42 Millionen Dollar Gewinn zur\u00fccksteht, auch ein Handtuch f\u00fcr seinen Hangar. Erkunden Sie die Galaxie nicht ohne sie! Das Team hat einige Vorzeichnungen f\u00fcr das Handtuch zusammengestellt, die in diesem Beitrag enthalten sind. Benutze deine Observist Handt\u00fccher mit Stolz, sie sind nur f\u00fcr Geldgeber verf\u00fcgbar, die uns vor diesem Level unterst\u00fctzt haben! (Genau wie Arena Commander selbst haben wir versucht, uns eine Fiktion auszudenken, die zum Handtuch passt: Es ist die Anreizbelohnung, die dein Charakter erhalten hat, weil er The Observist \u00fcberhaupt abonniert hat.\n\nF\u00fcr das 44-Millionen-Dollar-Tor haben Sie f\u00fcr einen zus\u00e4tzlichen Hangarraum gestimmt. Das Hangar-Raumsystem wird derzeit bei Behaviour entwickelt und wird mit dem kommenden Asteroidenhangar Premiere feiern. Unterst\u00fctzer, die das Spiel unterst\u00fctzen, bevor wir 44 Millionen Dollar erreichen, werden das Folgende zu ihren Hangars hinzugef\u00fcgt bekommen:\n\nSternenkartographie - Gehen Sie durch die fernen Horizonte, die Sie in Star Citizens speziellem \"Kartenraum\" mit einer holographischen 3D-Darstellung des bekannten Universums entworfen haben. Ihr Kartenraum beginnt mit einem grundlegenden F\u00fchrer durch das Vereinigte Reich der Erde und erweitert sich zu etwas, das f\u00fcr Sie einzigartig ist, w\u00e4hrend Sie unbekannte Welten erforschen und neue Geheimnisse entdecken. Erstellen Sie die detaillierteste Universumskarte und zeigen Sie sie den Besuchern, oder sperren Sie Ihre geheimen Sprungbretter und versteckten Handelsposten, damit niemand sonst folgen kann. Sie k\u00f6nnen sich direkt mit dem Observist Guide in Verbindung setzen, um herauszufinden, welche Erze auf MacArthur gefragt sind und wer die besten Nudeln auf Terra serviert. Und mit der M\u00f6glichkeit, eigene Notizen \u00fcber Ihre Begegnungen und Reisen zu machen, ist es mehr als eine Karte: es ist Ihr digitales Tagebuch! Das Entwicklungsteam ist heute wieder am Werk und bereitet das Dogfighting-Modul f\u00fcr die vollst\u00e4ndige Freigabe vor. Wie immer, danke: Nichts von dem, was Sie letzte Woche gesehen haben, w\u00e4re ohne die Unterst\u00fctzung unserer Geldgeber m\u00f6glich gewesen. Wenn man 42 Millionen Dollar erreicht, bedeutet das, dass noch mehr Ressourcen in den Vers gehen! Schlie\u00dflich denken Sie daran, in der folgenden Umfrage abzustimmen, die den 45 Millionen Dollar Stretch-Zielbelohnung ausw\u00e4hlt.","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\n$42 million in crowd funding!
