Ich wette, das bedeutet, dass es mehr als ein paar Xi'An Scout-Schiffe geben wird, die im Star Citizen-Universum herumfliegen. Das Xi'An-Schiff ist eines der Schiffe, von denen ich am meisten begeistert bin, denn es wird wirklich die Tiefe der Physik-Engine von Star Citizen zeigen: Mit seiner einzigartigen Thruster-Konfiguration wird es den bereits entwickelten Motor nutzen, um ganz anders zu fliegen!\n\nDer Xi'An Scout ist ein gutes Beispiel daf\u00fcr, wie viel in den Entwicklungsprozess von Star Citizen's Schiffen investiert wird. Wie Sie sich vielleicht erinnern, haben wir den Scout fr\u00fcher in der Kampagne angeboten, ohne ein Bild zu zeigen. Das liegt daran, dass ich mich entschieden habe, dass die Konzeptkunst, die wir hatten, nicht das Schiff darstellt, das ich f\u00fcr diese Rolle wollte. Sie k\u00f6nnen diese Original-Kunst hier sehen; es ist ein cooles Design, aber es ist nicht \u00fcber das einzigartige Thruster-System gekommen, das den Scout so besonders macht.\n\nWir gingen zur\u00fcck zum Rei\u00dfbrett.... und kamen schlie\u00dflich zu dem Konzeptmodell, das du am Freitag gesehen hast! In Zukunft planen wir, alle WIP-Konzeptmodelle auf die gleiche Weise zu teilen, sobald ich glaube, dass sie auf dem richtigen Weg sind. Im Falle des neuen Sp\u00e4hers bin ich sehr beeindruckt von der Arbeit des Teams.... und ich kann es kaum erwarten, ihn in Arena Commander fliegen zu sehen!\n\nDas 47 Millionen Dollar Stretch-Tor, das Sie heute verdient haben, ist das letzte der von den Spielern gew\u00e4hlten Belohnungsgegenst\u00e4nde, das Engine Tuning Kit. Hier sind die Details:\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. Apropos Stretch-Ziele, beim letzten Mal haben wir ihre Zukunft zur Abstimmung gestellt. 54% der B\u00fcrger stimmten daf\u00fcr, dass wir weiterhin Ziele anbieten sollten, und wir werden diese Entscheidung respektieren. Wie ich bereits beim letzten Mal sagte, unterst\u00fctzt jeder Dollar das anhaltende Universum von Star Citizen.... aber ich f\u00fchle mich nicht wohl dabei, zus\u00e4tzliche Funktionen mit jeder Million zu versprechen, es sei denn, sie sind wirklich additiv. Wenn wir eine neue Idee haben, die sich wirklich auf das Endspiel auswirkt und die Finanzierung ben\u00f6tigt, dann werden wir sie hier anbieten.... aber Sie k\u00f6nnen eine Reihe von Spieler-Belohnungen und neue M\u00f6glichkeiten erwarten, Arena Commander als unmittelbare Ziele hervorzuheben!\n\nAber mit dem 49-Millionen-Dollar-Ziel werden wir Ihnen etwas geben, das beim letzten Mal nicht ganz die Umfrage gewonnen hat: die \"Raumstation\"! Es ist eigentlich ein Xi'An-Baum, also ist es sehr passend f\u00fcr den heutigen Beitrag. Hier sind die Details:\n\nXi'An Weltraumpflanze - \u00c4hnlich wie ein Bonsaibaum ist die Centennial Bloom eine sehr ber\u00fchmte Xi'An Pflanze, die bei Eealus III heimisch ist und alle hundert Jahre f\u00fcr eine Nacht bl\u00fcht. Sie verkaufen die Pflanzen in versiegelten Terrarien an H\u00e4ndler. Seit ihrer Einf\u00fchrung in die UEE ist die Menschheit fasziniert von diesen sch\u00f6nen Pflanzen und dem Warten auf ihre Bl\u00fcte. Wie immer, vielen Dank f\u00fcr deine unglaubliche Unterst\u00fctzung. Wir arbeiten hart daran, Star Citizen zu einem wirklich besonderen Spiel zu machen.... aber du hast es bereits zu einer unglaublich besonderen Community gemacht.\n\n- Chris Roberts","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nWe\u2019ve hit $47 million in funding!
