Many backers have picked up limited or wave two ships during the anniversary sale, and I\u2019m truly grateful. We\u2019ve always stressed that you don\u2019t need anything beyond a basic starter ship to be able to earn anything or go anywhere in the Star Citizen universe, but we acknowledge that the support the community gives by investing in bigger or additional ships allows Star Citizen to deliver a deeper, richer experience much sooner than we could otherwise. In addition your continued support is allowing us to make some smart investments in the world wide team and technology that will safeguard the future of the game.\n\nI\u2019ve had a number of backers ask me why I don\u2019t \u2018stock pile\u2019 letters and have them ready to go immediately\u2026 especially during an event like this. My answer is that I don\u2019t feel right assuming things like that when it comes to backers providing the project with millions of dollars! The letters may take a few extra days now, but they\u2019re always from the heart.\n\nThe $62 million stretch goal was the penultimate \u2018wave four\u2019 ship design: Genesis-class Starliner \u2013 The Genesis is yet another landmark in Crusader Industries\u2019 proud history of transport designs. This ship utilizes award-winning manufacturing techniques and the highest quality parts to create one thing; a next-generation passenger ship at a price that won\u2019t break your budget. Crusader Industries\u2019 proprietary NeoG engine technology offers some of the most efficient flight for a ship of its size. The Genesis line has been cited in Whitley\u2019s as \u201cone of the most reliable and safe public transport ships on the market.\u201d Genesis Starliners are available in a number of stock configurations, focusing on everything from passenger capacity to freight to overall comfort. The UEE military operates multiple Genesis conversions for support roles, including SWACS and starflight test operations.\n\nI love options like this, because they\u2019re more than just fighting ships. They help us populate a living breathing universe\u2026 after all, most people are more likely to encounter 737s than F-22s in their daily lives! For the next goal, a whopping 50% of the vote went to the MISC Reliant to be the third starter ship: MISC Reliant \u2013 With the success of the Freelancer \u201cBuilt for Life\u201d campaign, MISC has moved to join RSI and Consolidated in the single-seat introductory starship arena. Their silver bullet? A starter ship with more than one seat\u2026 and their ace in the hole: Xi\u2019An technology. Where the Aurora is a pure utilitarian platform and the Mustang is a delicate, maneuverable personal transport, the Reliant is MISC\u2019s most Xi\u2019An tech-heavy ship to date. Featuring impossibly sleek lines, two separate crew seats and a vertical fuselage design, the Reliant\u2019s streamlined cockpits glow with some of the finest xenotechnology available!\n\nAnd since we\u2019ve already hit $63 million, the Reliant is in the bag! It sounds like backers are interested in seeing more alien technology! That\u2019s one thing Star Citizen will deliver on. As I said last time, never say never for the other concepts\u2026 I especially liked the Drake \u2018space motorcycle.\u2019\n\nWe\u2019ve added a lot of ships lately, and so we\u2019re making the $64 million goal a fun one. Pets \u2013 We have repair bots, we have fish\u2026 but we haven\u2019t implemented a traditional pet system in Star Citizen yet. At $64 million, that changes. From Jones the Cat in Alien to the Battlestar Galactica\u2019s Daggit, pets have a place onboard starships\u2026 and we want to give you that option in Star Citizen. Expect traditional terrestrial options, plus anything exotic we can dream up in the Star Citizen universe! (Those Torshu Grey crabs that keep escaping are just the start.) This stretch goal is in honor of Paddington, Strike Dog of the UEES Paul Steed. In one of our first videos Paddington helped us get to $4 million back in the initial campaign, and sadly passed away recently.\n\nFor those looking ahead to $65 million, we have a major feature we\u2019re investigating as an option. Suffice it to say, we\u2019ve heard a lot of your feedback about modular ships and we want to expand our plan for how to do them\u2026 so check back next letter for more information!\n\nI can\u2019t say it enough: thank you. I often finding myself sitting down to play Arena Commander and just admiring what we\u2019ve made together. Sure, we could have done this behind closed doors\u2026 but it wouldn\u2019t have had the same heart and soul, and it wouldn\u2019t be coming together in the same way. Arena Commander is a microcosm of Star Citizen: your backing made it possible, your feedback is making it work the way we imagined together\u2026 and your belief in what we\u2019re doing here (and patience with real software development!) is going to push us to continuously iterate and improve. As we deliver more aspects of Star Citizen, from first person combat, to planetside exploration to a gripping single player narrative story to planets and star systems you can fly between, I think it will dawn on all of us just how groundbreaking and unprecedented the journey that we are all taking together is. Nothing of this scope has ever been attempted, and never in this fashion.\n\nSee you in the \u2018Verse!\n\n\u2014 Chris Roberts","de_DE":"Gr\u00fc\u00dfe B\u00fcrgerinnen und B\u00fcrger\nHerzlichen Gl\u00fcckwunsch, dass du uns geholfen hast, 63 Millionen Dollar an Menschenmassenfinanzierung zu bekommen! Viele Geldgeber haben w\u00e4hrend des Jubil\u00e4umsverkaufs limitierte Schiffe abgeholt oder schwenken zwei Schiffe, und ich bin wirklich dankbar. Wir haben immer betont, dass man nichts \u00fcber ein einfaches Startschiff hinaus braucht, um etwas verdienen oder irgendwo im Star Citizen-Universum hingehen zu k\u00f6nnen, aber wir erkennen an, dass die Unterst\u00fctzung, die die Gemeinschaft durch Investitionen in gr\u00f6\u00dfere oder zus\u00e4tzliche Schiffe leistet, es Star Citizen erm\u00f6glicht, viel fr\u00fcher als sonst ein tieferes, reicheres Erlebnis zu bieten. Dar\u00fcber hinaus erm\u00f6glicht uns Ihre kontinuierliche Unterst\u00fctzung, einige intelligente Investitionen in das weltweite Team und die Technologie zu t\u00e4tigen, die die Zukunft des Spiels sichern.\n\nIch hatte eine Reihe von Unterst\u00fctzern, die mich fragten, warum ich keine Briefe auf Lager habe und sie sofort einsatzbereit habe.... besonders w\u00e4hrend einer Veranstaltung wie dieser. Meine Antwort ist, dass ich mich nicht richtig f\u00fchle, solche Dinge anzunehmen, wenn es darum geht, das Projekt mit Millionen von Dollar zu unterst\u00fctzen! Die Briefe m\u00f6gen jetzt ein paar Tage l\u00e4nger dauern, aber sie sind immer von Herzen.\n\nDas 62 Millionen Dollar teure Stretch-Ziel war das vorletzte Schiffsdesign der \"Welle vier\":\n\n\nGenesis-Klasse Starliner - The Genesis ist ein weiterer Meilenstein in der stolzen Geschichte von Crusader Industries im Bereich Transportdesign. Dieses Schiff verwendet preisgekr\u00f6nte Fertigungstechniken und hochwertigste Teile, um eine Sache zu schaffen: ein Passagierschiff der n\u00e4chsten Generation zu einem Preis, der Ihr Budget nicht sprengen wird. Die von Crusader Industries entwickelte NeoG-Motorentechnologie bietet einige der effizientesten Fl\u00fcge f\u00fcr ein Schiff seiner Gr\u00f6\u00dfe. Die Genesis-Linie wurde in Whitley's als \"eines der zuverl\u00e4ssigsten und sichersten \u00f6ffentlichen Transportschiffe auf dem Markt\" bezeichnet. Genesis Starliner sind in einer Reihe von Standardkonfigurationen erh\u00e4ltlich, die sich auf alles von der Passagierkapazit\u00e4t \u00fcber die Fracht bis hin zum Gesamtkomfort konzentrieren. Das UEE-Milit\u00e4r betreibt mehrere Genesis-Konvertierungen f\u00fcr Nebenrollen, darunter SWACS und Sternflug-Testbetriebe.\nIch liebe solche Optionen, denn sie sind mehr als nur ein Kampf gegen Schiffe. Sie helfen uns, ein lebendiges atmendes Universum zu bev\u00f6lkern.... schlie\u00dflich sind die meisten Menschen in ihrem t\u00e4glichen Leben eher auf 737er als auf F-22er angewiesen! F\u00fcr das n\u00e4chste Ziel gingen satte 50% der Stimmen an den MISC Reliant, um das dritte Startschiff zu werden:\n\n\nMISC Reliant - Mit dem Erfolg der Freelancer \"Built for Life\"-Kampagne hat sich MISC entschlossen, sich dem RSI anzuschlie\u00dfen und in der einsitzigen, einf\u00fchrenden Raumschiff-Arena zu konsolidieren. Ihre Silberkugel? Ein Startschiff mit mehr als einem Sitz.... und seinem Ass im Loch: Xi'An-Technologie. W\u00e4hrend die Aurora eine reine utilitaristische Plattform ist und die Mustang ein empfindlicher, wendiger pers\u00f6nlicher Transport, ist die Reliant das bisher technisch anspruchsvollste Schiff von MISC. Mit unglaublich eleganten Linien, zwei separaten Crew-Sitzen und einem vertikalen Rumpfdesign leuchten die stromlinienf\u00f6rmigen Cockpits des Reliant mit einigen der besten verf\u00fcgbaren Xenotechnologien!\nUnd da wir bereits 63 Millionen Dollar erreicht haben, ist der Reliant in der Tasche! Es klingt, als w\u00e4ren die Geldgeber daran interessiert, mehr au\u00dferirdische Technologien zu sehen! Das ist eine Sache, die Star Citizen erf\u00fcllen wird. Wie ich bereits beim letzten Mal sagte, sagen Sie niemals nie etwas zu den anderen Konzepten.... Ich mochte die Drake'Space Motorcycle' besonders.\n\nWir haben in letzter Zeit viele Schiffe hinzugef\u00fcgt, und so machen wir das 64-Millionen-Dollar-Tor zu einem lustigen.\n\n\nHaustiere - Wir haben Reparatur-Bots, wir haben Fische.... aber wir haben noch kein traditionelles Haustiersystem in Star Citizen implementiert. Bei 64 Millionen Dollar \u00e4ndert sich das. Von Jones der Katze in Alien bis zur Daggit der Battlestar Galactica, Haustiere haben einen Platz an Bord von Raumschiffen.... und wir m\u00f6chten Ihnen diese M\u00f6glichkeit in Star Citizen geben. Erwarten Sie traditionelle irdische Optionen und alles Exotische, was wir uns im Star Citizen Universum ausdenken k\u00f6nnen! (Diese Torshu Grey Krabben, die immer wieder entkommen, sind nur der Anfang.) Dieses Stretch-Tor ist zu Ehren von Paddington, Strike Dog of the UEES Paul Steed. In einem unserer ersten Videos half uns Paddington, in der ersten Kampagne wieder auf 4 Millionen Dollar zu kommen, und ist leider k\u00fcrzlich gestorben.\nF\u00fcr diejenigen, die 65 Millionen Dollar erwarten, haben wir ein wichtiges Feature, das wir als Option untersuchen. Es gen\u00fcgt zu sagen, dass wir viel von Ihrem Feedback \u00fcber modulare Schiffe geh\u00f6rt haben und wir wollen unseren Plan erweitern, wie man sie macht.... also schauen Sie im n\u00e4chsten Brief nach!\n\nIch kann es nicht oft genug sagen: Danke. Ich sitze oft da, um Arena Commander zu spielen und bewundere nur, was wir zusammen gemacht haben. Sicher, wir h\u00e4tten das hinter verschlossenen T\u00fcren machen k\u00f6nnen... aber es h\u00e4tte nicht das gleiche Herz und die gleiche Seele haben k\u00f6nnen, und es w\u00fcrde nicht auf die gleiche Weise zusammenkommen. Arena Commander ist ein Mikrokosmos von Star Citizen: Ihre Unterst\u00fctzung hat es erm\u00f6glicht, Ihr Feedback l\u00e4sst es so funktionieren, wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben.... und Ihr Glaube an das, was wir hier tun (und Geduld mit echter Softwareentwicklung!) wird uns dazu bringen, kontinuierlich zu wiederholen und zu verbessern. Wenn wir mehr Aspekte von Star Citizen liefern, vom Kampf der ersten Person \u00fcber die Erforschung der Planeten bis hin zu einer packenden Erz\u00e4hlgeschichte f\u00fcr einen einzelnen Spieler bis hin zu Planeten und Sternensystemen, zwischen denen man fliegen kann, denke ich, dass es uns allen klar werden wird, wie bahnbrechend und beispiellos die Reise ist, die wir alle zusammen unternehmen. Nichts in diesem Umfang wurde jemals versucht, und zwar nie auf diese Weise.\n\nWir sehen uns im Vers!\n\n- Chris Roberts","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens\nCongratulations on helping us get to $63 million in crowd funding!
