Ich denke, der Freelancer ist ein gro\u00dfartiger Mikrokosmos der Star Citizen Erfahrung. Backers hat sich in der ersten Kampagne f\u00fcr das urspr\u00fcngliche Design entschieden, sie haben uns gebeten, das Cockpit zu aktualisieren.... und jetzt ist es hier, sch\u00f6n verarbeitet in Ihren Hangars mit einem kompletten Satz von Varianten. Dies ist nicht nur ein Schiff, f\u00fcr das du geholfen hast zu bezahlen, sondern auch ein Schiff, das du mitgestaltet hast.\n\nF\u00fcr 45 Millionen Dollar hast du eine unserer vom Backer ausgew\u00e4hlten Belohnungen freigeschaltet, das mysteri\u00f6se hadesische Artefakt. Wir haben einige coole Pl\u00e4ne daf\u00fcr, was genau das im Persistent Universe ausl\u00f6sen wird.... aber du musst diesen Aspekt des Spiels selbst erforschen! Hier sind die Details:\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.... F\u00fcr Ihre endg\u00fcltige \"Flare\"-Belohnung haben Sie f\u00fcr das \"Engine Tuning Kit\" gestimmt. Hier ist die neu freigeschaltete offizielle Beschreibung:\n\nMotor Tuning Kit - Wilkes & Federman MaxTune Kit ist zu einem der meistverkauften Starterkits f\u00fcr den anspruchsvollen Heimliebhaber geworden. Dieser Bausatz, der in Whitleys aktueller Ausgabe von Steal of the Year vorgestellt wird, enth\u00e4lt alles, was der junge Ingenieur braucht, um einen tieferen Einblick in die Mechanik seines Motors zu erhalten. Mit einem Tap Analyzer k\u00f6nnen Sie die aktuelle Leistung und die Energieaufnahme Ihres Motors auf einfache und verst\u00e4ndliche Weise anzeigen. Verwenden Sie das 38-teilige Sammelwerkzeug, um auf Ihren Motor zuzugreifen und mit dem Optimieren zu beginnen. Wilkes & Federman ist nicht verantwortlich f\u00fcr Sch\u00e4den, die nach dem Tuning Ihres Motors entstehen. Bitte beachten Sie die Herstellergarantie, bevor Sie Arbeiten durchf\u00fchren. Ich hoffe, Sie genie\u00dfen Ihre Freelancer und dass Ihnen die heutige Werbung gef\u00e4llt. Wie Sie wissen, war unser erster Plan, Brosch\u00fcren und Werbespots f\u00fcr die ersten Pfandboote zu produzieren. Du hast die Aurora, 300i, Hornet und Freelancer gesehen, und die Constellation und das Entermesser sind in Produktion.\n\nF\u00fcr das n\u00e4chste Stretchziel \"Spielerbelohnung\" m\u00f6chte ich dieser Aufstellung einen weiteren Werbespot hinzuf\u00fcgen.... und ich m\u00f6chte Ihnen die Wahl \u00fcberlassen! Bitte stimmen Sie unten ab, um auszuw\u00e4hlen, welche der zweiten Schiffe von Star Citizen im Mittelpunkt des n\u00e4chsten von uns entwickelten Werbespots stehen sollen.\nWie immer, vielen Dank f\u00fcr deine unglaubliche Unterst\u00fctzung! Genie\u00dfen Sie den Arena Commander und bleiben Sie auf dem Laufenden, w\u00e4hrend wir den Luftkampf perfektionieren und noch gr\u00f6\u00dfere Teile des Star Citizen-Universums ausrollen.\n\n- Chris Roberts","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nWe\u2019ve hit $45 million in crowd funding, so I think it\u2019s safe to say that the Freelancer is a winner!
