The Gladius isn\u2019t as heavily armed as the Hornet and it can\u2019t carry cargo like the Aurora\u2026 but it\u2019s fast and light and should be a new way to take on Arena Commander\u2019s head-to-head mechanic.\n\nThe $48 million stretch goal was the user-voted Retaliator commercial!

Well played!","de_DE":"Gr\u00fc\u00dfe B\u00fcrger,\nEs sieht so aus, als h\u00e4tten uns die j\u00fcngsten Verk\u00e4ufe von Gladius und Dogtags \u00fcber 48 Millionen Dollar an Publikumsfinanzierung gebracht! Der Gladius wird eine gro\u00dfartige Erg\u00e4nzung f\u00fcr den Arena Commander sein; wenn du einen aufgehoben hast und uns geholfen hast, dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wirst du nicht entt\u00e4uscht sein! Die Gladius ist nicht so schwer bewaffnet wie die Hornet und kann keine Fracht wie die Aurora transportieren.... aber sie ist schnell und leicht und sollte eine neue Art sein, den Kopf-an-Kopf-Mechaniker des Arena Commander zu bek\u00e4mpfen.\n\nDas 48 Millionen Dollar Stretch-Ziel war der von den Nutzern gew\u00e4hlte Vergeltungswerbespot! Ich freue mich, Ihnen mitteilen zu k\u00f6nnen, dass David Haddock mit der Skripterstellung f\u00fcr den Vergeltungsfilm begonnen hat. Ich will die \u00dcberraschung nicht verderben, aber wir gehen damit in eine andere Richtung!\n\nVergelter kommerziell - Es war ein enges Rennen, aber der Vergelter zog vor. Der R\u00e4cher war nur ein knapper Zweiter. Das Symbol der Macht des Vereinigten Reiches der Erde ist das n\u00e4chste Schiff, das einen glatten Werbefilm erh\u00e4lt. Aegis Dynamics braucht seit Ende der Messer-\u00c4ra dringend eine gute Publicity. Wir haben derzeit die Werbespots Entermesser und Konstellation in Produktion, und jetzt wird der Vergelter dieser Liste hinzugef\u00fcgt. Heute arbeitet ein Gro\u00dfteil des Teams hart an Patch 12.5 und jagt die Bugs, die f\u00fcr die Latenz und das Gummibanding verantwortlich sind, die derzeit den Arena Commander betreffen. Das Engineering-Team hat die Server-CPU und den Netzwerkverkehr als wahrscheinliche Ursachen f\u00fcr das springende und schlechte Netzwerk-Gameplay eliminiert. Sie haben die Einf\u00fchrung des Themas auf eine von elf m\u00f6glichen \u00c4nderungslisten eingegrenzt.... es kann sich nicht mehr lange vor uns verstecken! Wir f\u00fcgen zus\u00e4tzliche Debugging-Tools und -Metriken hinzu, w\u00e4hrend wir uns auf das Problem konzentrieren, und wir untersuchen derzeit m\u00f6gliche Unterschiede zwischen der entfernten und lokalen Simulation von Schiffsbewegungen, die zum Springen f\u00fchren k\u00f6nnten.\n\nAber Arena Commander ist nur der erste Schritt auf dem Weg zum Sternenb\u00fcrger, und wir schauen auch weiterhin nach vorne und erweitern die innere Funktion unseres Universums. Im heutigen Beitrag sehen Sie einige der Arbeiten, die wir an Standorten durchgef\u00fchrt haben. Alle diese Gesch\u00e4fte befinden sich auf Stanton III, das das Team von BHVR als Basis f\u00fcr unseren Planeteninhalt baut.\n\nWie wir letztes Mal versprochen haben, werden wir zu unserer Tradition der Stretch-Ziele zur\u00fcckkehren, die das Kernspiel verbessern. Die laufende Finanzierung h\u00e4lt das Projekt in dem Umfang am Laufen, wie es heute ist.... aber wir sind auch bestrebt, Wege zu finden, das zu verbessern, was wir bereits geplant haben. Wir haben uns etwas f\u00fcr das 50-Millionen-Dollar-Ziel ausgedacht, von dem wir glauben, dass es das Eintauchen wirklich verbessern und dazu beitragen wird, Star Citizen zu einer lebendigen, atmenden Welt zu machen:\n\nAu\u00dferirdische Sprachen - Sprichst du Banu? Wir werden mit Sprachwissenschaftlern aus der Praxis zusammenarbeiten, um unverwechselbare und realistische fremde Sprachen f\u00fcr die drei gr\u00f6\u00dften au\u00dferirdischen Rassen von Star Citizen, die Vanduul, die Xi'An und die Banu, zu entwickeln. Keine universellen \u00dcbersetzer, keine verst\u00fcmmelten Tierger\u00e4usche: Die Au\u00dferirdischen von Star Citizen werden ihre eigenen authentischen Sprachen sprechen! Ich bin gespannt auf diese.... und freue mich darauf, den ersten Fan zu treffen, der lernt, eine unserer Sprachen zu sprechen! Wie immer vielen Dank f\u00fcr Ihre Unterst\u00fctzung. Star Citizen w\u00fcrde ohne unsere Geldgeber nicht existieren. Verbreiten Sie weiter das Wort!\n\n- Chris Roberts\n\nP.S. Ein besonderer zus\u00e4tzlicher Gl\u00fcckwunsch an unsere deutschen Geldgeber f\u00fcr den Weltcup-Sieg ihres Teams.
