Bei 42 Millionen Dollar haben wir den leichten J\u00e4ger Gladius f\u00fcr die Staffel 42 freigeschaltet. Das Team der Gie\u00dferei 42 hat an dem Schiff gearbeitet und ich freue mich, Ihnen heute einige der fr\u00fchen WIPs zu zeigen! Die Gladius soll ein \u00e4lterer K\u00e4mpfer sein, der nicht die Arme und R\u00fcstungen einer Hornisse hat.... aber der schnell man\u00f6vrieren und schlagen kann.\n\nBei 43 Millionen Dollar bekommt jeder Geldgeber (bis zu diesem Punkt) eine Reihe von Marine-Kampf-R\u00fcstungen, die seinen Konten hinzugef\u00fcgt werden! Eine vollst\u00e4ndige Beschreibung finden Sie unten, aber Sie werden viel mehr dar\u00fcber erfahren, wof\u00fcr dies gut ist, da wir weitere Informationen \u00fcber das FPS-Modul von Star Citizen sperren.\n\nOmni Rolle Kampfr\u00fcstung (ORC) mk9 Hersteller: CDS (Clark Defense Systems) Die \"Standard\" Marine R\u00fcstung f\u00fcr fast zwanzig Jahre, ORC R\u00fcstung ist unerschwinglich teurer als die Standard-Ausgabe Infanterie K\u00f6rperr\u00fcstung, die von Army Ground Forces verwendet wird, aber die Marines r\u00fchmen sich weit weniger Zahlen und neigen dazu, \u00fcberzeugende Argumente zu liefern, um das zu bekommen, was sie verlangen. Die ORC-R\u00fcstung von Clark Defense Systems besteht aus einem Verbundnetz aus Fasern, das mit ablativen Platten verst\u00e4rkt ist und einen bescheidenen Schutz vor Energie und kinetischen Waffen bietet. Obwohl es nicht den gleichen Schutz wie die von der Marine entwickelte Nagelr\u00fcstung oder ihre SpecOps-Varianten bietet, ist die ORCmk9-R\u00fcstung eine Basisl\u00f6sung f\u00fcr eine Vielzahl von Situationen, in denen der durchschnittliche Marine an einem bestimmten Tag begegnen wird. Au\u00dferdem, um mit den Worten von Leutnant Col Armin Trask zu sprechen: \"Sie wollen die beste R\u00fcstung wissen? Ich werde nicht erschossen.\" Die Stimmen sind da und der Gewinner der 45 Millionen Dollar Belohnung ist.... das mysteri\u00f6se Objekt! Es ist ziemlich cool zu sehen, wie die Community eine Chance auf etwas Unbekanntes eingeht, anstatt sich f\u00fcr eine kostenlose Waffe oder ein anderes Upgrade zu entscheiden. Und Sie werden nicht entt\u00e4uscht sein! Das mysteri\u00f6se Objekt ist mehr als nur ein St\u00fcck Leuchtfeuer, es ist ein R\u00e4tsel, um das die Spieler eines Tages k\u00e4mpfen werden. Wohin f\u00fchrt dich das Artefakt? Ein verlorener hadesischer Au\u00dfenposten, ein Vorrat an Technologie, ein versteckter Sprungpunkt? Es liegt an dir, es herauszufinden!\n\nHadesianisches Artefakt - Das Geheimnis dessen, was im Hades geschah, ist eines der gro\u00dfen arch\u00e4ologischen R\u00e4tsel, seit das System Anfang des 26. Jahrhunderts entdeckt wurde. Die Beweise deuten darauf hin, dass die Hadesier ihre gesamte Zivilisation in einem verheerenden B\u00fcrgerkrieg fast ausgel\u00f6scht h\u00e4tten, der einen Planeten in zwei H\u00e4lften zerrissen h\u00e4tte, aber so viele Fragen blieben offen. Wer waren diese Hadesianer? Wie hat der Krieg begonnen? Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde sogar die \u00d6ffentlichkeit vom Geheimnis dieses Systems angetan. Diese Neugierde wurde geweckt, als Wissenschaftler k\u00fcrzlich ein einzelnes hadesisches Artefakt auf dem Schwarzmarkt entdeckten. Die Schmuckhersteller versuchten schnell, das wieder auflebende Interesse zu nutzen, indem sie genaue Kopien des Artefakts f\u00fcr den Verkauf an die \u00d6ffentlichkeit bauten und sogar die nicht identifizierten Symbole entlang der Basis replizierten... Ich m\u00f6chte nicht nach so vielen Levels wiederholt klingen, aber danke nochmals f\u00fcr Ihre Unterst\u00fctzung. Jeder zus\u00e4tzliche Dollar geht an die Entwicklung von Star Citizen und macht es zu einem besseren Spiel. Bitte denken Sie daran, an der Umfrage zur vorletzten Spielerbelohnung teilzunehmen, die unten aufgef\u00fchrt ist. Es ist schwer zu glauben, dass wir so weit gekommen sind, aber der Gewinner wird das 46 Millionen Dollar Stretch-Tor sein!","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nAnother incredible accomplishment by Star Citizen\u2019s backers $43 million!\n\nI\u2019d like to begin today\u2019s letter by showing you where one of our previous stretch goals is going.
