I have certainly had a hard time keeping quiet about that work these past few months; everyone on the team has wanted to shout it from the rooftops. The quality of Squadron 42\u2019s principal cast is another testament to the community: you have supported us with such passion and given us the room to create a universe that has attracted top talent, eager to explore the cutting edge of story and games\u2026 that\u2019s not something that happens every day!\n\nAs I was saying before I was interrupted: one million Citizens! The stars of this game aren\u2019t all Hollywood actors or big name game developers\u2026 they\u2019re those you who are making the game possible in the first place. Our one millionth Citizen is Edenstar.

No Star Marine pass, no Alpha 2.0 pass\u2026 no additional payment needed for any module in the works, pre-release. Going forward, should we need to put out some sort of limited release it will be done through the PTU test server.

Right now that\u2019s getting Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 in shape to share with all of you in the near future, and we\u2019re in the process of closing down Star Marine as well.\n\nUntil then, the team and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts in making this possible.

Als ich mit diesem Abenteuer anfing, h\u00e4tte ich nie gedacht, dass wir jemals so viele Menschen und so viel Unterst\u00fctzung beim Aufbau von Star Citizen haben w\u00fcrden. Es ist erstaunlich, eine Gemeinschaft und ein Team zu haben, die so leidenschaftlich an das glauben, was gebaut wird.... Sag es laut: PC-Spiele sind zur\u00fcck, Weltraum-Kampfspiele sind zur\u00fcck.... wir machen Star Citizen m\u00f6glich!\n\nWir haben viel dar\u00fcber nachgedacht, was ein angemessenes Update w\u00e4re, um diesen Meilenstein zu feiern. Aber warte! Bevor wir fortfahren, scheint es, dass eine dringende Kommunikationsverbindung durchkommt.....\n\nDanke, Admiral!\n\nEs versteht sich von selbst, dass es der Nervenkitzel eines Lebens war, mit Gary Oldman und dem Rest unserer erstaunlichen Besetzung zu arbeiten. Ich habe es sicherlich schwer gehabt, \u00fcber diese Arbeit in den letzten Monaten Stillschweigen zu bewahren; jeder im Team wollte sie von den D\u00e4chern rufen. Die Qualit\u00e4t der Hauptdarsteller der Staffel 42 ist ein weiteres Zeugnis f\u00fcr die Gemeinschaft: Sie haben uns mit gro\u00dfer Leidenschaft unterst\u00fctzt und uns den Raum gegeben, ein Universum zu schaffen, das Top-Talente angezogen hat, das begierig darauf ist, die neuesten Entwicklungen bei Geschichten und Spielen zu erforschen.... das ist nicht etwas, das jeden Tag passiert!\n\nWie ich bereits sagte, bevor ich unterbrochen wurde: eine Million B\u00fcrger! Die Stars dieses Spiels sind nicht alle Hollywood-Schauspieler oder bekannte Spieleentwickler.... sie sind diejenigen, die das Spiel \u00fcberhaupt erst m\u00f6glich machen. Unser einmillionster B\u00fcrger ist Edenstar. Passend dazu wurde er, wie so viele von euch, von einem Freund, der leidenschaftlich f\u00fcr das Spiel war, mit Star Citizen bekannt gemacht.... tats\u00e4chlich sagt er, dass er beigetreten ist, weil er bef\u00fcrchtete, dass er seine Freunde nach dem Spielstart nicht mehr sehen w\u00fcrde! Ich habe viele Male gesagt, dass Geldgeber unser bestes Marketing sind, und hier ist ein ziemlich solider Beweis! Edenstar, Pikes-zen, wir werden weitermachen und euch jedem einen brandneuen S\u00e4bel geben, mit dem ihr den Vers erkunden k\u00f6nnt. Viel Spa\u00df!\n\nZu Ehren unseres neuesten B\u00fcrgers (wirklich, unserer Tausenden von neuen B\u00fcrgern!) m\u00f6chten wir der gesamten Gemeinschaft etwas zur\u00fcckgeben f\u00fcr all Ihre unglaubliche Unterst\u00fctzung. Ab heute eliminieren wir Alpha Access und die $5-Moduldurchl\u00e4ufe. Jeder, der sich f\u00fcr ein Star Citizen Package verpflichtet hat, kann jetzt spielen, ohne sich Sorgen zu machen, dass er in Zukunft keinen Zugang zu einem Teil des Verses hat. Kein Star Marine Pass, kein Alpha 2.0 Pass.... keine zus\u00e4tzliche Zahlung f\u00fcr ein Modul in Arbeit, Pre-Release. In Zukunft, wenn wir eine Art Limited Release herausbringen m\u00fcssen, wird dies \u00fcber den PTU-Testserver erfolgen. Alle Geldgeber haben Zugang zu jeder Live-Version, sobald sie ver\u00f6ffentlicht wird.\n\nAu\u00dferdem m\u00f6chte ich unsere ersten Unterst\u00fctzer belohnen, die es erm\u00f6glicht haben, zu diesem Punkt zu gelangen. Jeder, der ein Alpha-Access-Paket hat, erh\u00e4lt 10.000 UEC; jeder, der einen Arena Commander Pass einzeln gekauft hat, erh\u00e4lt 5.000 UEC (mit entsprechend angehobener Kappe). Sie haben auch meinen aufrichtigsten Dank: Sie waren unsere Vorhut, das Bataillon, das von Anfang an den guten Kampf gef\u00fchrt hat. Dein Einfluss auf Star Citizen wird nie vergessen werden, denn ohne deinen fr\u00fchen Glauben k\u00f6nnten wir nicht dort sein, wo wir heute sind. (Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Kreditauszahlung ein gro\u00dfes Skript ben\u00f6tigt, so dass es einige Tage dauern kann, bis Turbulent die Logistik ausgearbeitet hat!\n\nEs versteht sich von selbst, dass ich stolz auf die unglaubliche Gemeinschaft bin, die sich zusammengeschlossen hat, um Star Citizen bis zu diesem Punkt zu unterst\u00fctzen, und ich bin so aufgeregt, zuzusehen und daran teilzunehmen, wie Sie wachsen, sich entwickeln und ver\u00e4ndern, w\u00e4hrend wir uns der Ziellinie n\u00e4hern. Ob Sie nun ein Early Backer, ein Veteran Backer, jemand, der gestern beigetreten ist, oder sogar einer der \"Magnificent Seven\".... wir sind heute alle Star Citizens, gleichberechtigt und mit dem Gleichen ausgestattet, was wir Ihnen verdankt haben: den besten verdammten Weltraumsimulator aller Zeiten.\n\nZu wissen, dass eine Million Menschen (und immer mehr!) auf uns z\u00e4hlen, wird unseren Wunsch nach Leistung nur noch verst\u00e4rken. Jedes Mitglied des Star Citizen-Teams wei\u00df bereits, dass wir f\u00fcr die Geldgeber arbeiten.... und das Erreichen einer Million ist nur eine weitere Erinnerung, warum wir dieses Projekt ganz alleine durchf\u00fchren. Im Moment bringt das Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 in Form, um es in naher Zukunft mit euch allen zu teilen, und wir sind dabei, auch Star Marine zu schlie\u00dfen.\n\nBis dahin danken das Team und ich Ihnen von ganzem Herzen, dass Sie dies erm\u00f6glicht haben. Star Citizen lebt von der Unterst\u00fctzung, die sie von der Gemeinschaft erh\u00e4lt, und diese Unterst\u00fctzung war in den letzten drei Jahren laut und deutlich. Wenn ich mich umsehe, wie K\u00fcnstler, Designer und Ingenieure Constellations und Vergelter f\u00fcr ihren Multi-Crew-Launch vorbereiten, kann ich mit Sicherheit sagen: Ich werde dich sehr bald sehen.... in der 'Vers!\n\n- Chris Roberts","zh_CN":"Greetings ONE MILLION CITIZENS!\nIf there was ever a milestone that deserved a letter to the community it was this.
