Friday Updates: Freelancer, Citizen Cards and Interviews - [Comm-Links](https://api.star-citizen.wiki/comm-links) - Friday Updates: Freelancer, Citizen Cards and Interviews Friday Updates: Freelancer, Citizen Cards and Interviews ======================================================== Undefined Undefined None [Previous](https://api.star-citizen.wiki/comm-links/12827) [Next](https://api.star-citizen.wiki/comm-links/12829) Content ------- English Greetings, Citizens! We’re very pleased to announce that we’ve passed 100,000 pledges and approaching $7 million in total! The amount of support the community has given us in getting this game’s development started has been incredible; we won’t disappoint you! Freelancer Video We know you’re looking forward to seeing more ships and so today we have a special sneak preview: an interview with artist Jim Martin talking about his design process for the Freelancer… and showing off a few renders of the work so far! We think you’ll be very pleased with how this one is coming along. Citizen Cards We are very sorry to report that Citizen Cards will not be ready in time for Christmas as initially hoped. On upside we have tens of thousands more of you in our awesome growing community than we ever imagined and have broken crowd funding records. As a result the Citizen Card fulfillment is a much bigger job. This combined with the merging of 34,397 Kickstarter pledges are the two reasons for the delay. Kickstarter allows people two weeks to correct any billing issues after the campaign closes so we have only recently been able to start working with the data. If we went into production now the people that backed Star Citizen on Kickstarter and the people who added tiers and upgrades on Kickstarter wouldn’t get the card level they deserved. On a positive note we want you all to have something to gift your friends, family and fellow space sim fan lovers with Christmas around the corner. We will make digital holiday cards available later in the month so that those who’ve kindly decided to gift Star Citizen will be able to do so. We promise to keep you updated on the Citizen Card fulfillment. It will be worth it. These cards will be a one time only production with your name shown as a Founder of Star Citizen. We hope to break many more records and for your card to be a reminder of our humble beginnings and that you helped make this happen for us all. Sandi is working as hard as she can to make sure they will be coming your way as soon as possible! In the News Earlier this week, Chris Roberts appeared on the first installment of a multi-part livestream for MMORPG. Chris took questions from the audience and talked about all aspects of Star Citizen. The next interview session will be Wednesday, December 12 at 5 PM EST… so bring your questions! But Chris isn’t the only Star Citizen team member making the round! Eric Peterson, better known as Wingman, recently spoke with TinkTink about the game! Seid gegrüßt, Bürger! Wir freuen uns sehr, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass wir 100.000 Zusagen erfüllt haben und uns insgesamt 7 Millionen Dollar nähern! Die Unterstützung, die die Community uns gegeben hat, um die Entwicklung dieses Spiels zu starten, war unglaublich; wir werden dich nicht enttäuschen! Freelancer Video Wir wissen, dass du dich auf weitere Schiffe freust und so haben wir heute eine besondere Vorschau: ein Interview mit dem Künstler Jim Martin, der über seinen Designprozess für den Freelancer spricht... und ein paar Renderings der bisherigen Arbeit zeigt! Wir denken, dass du sehr zufrieden sein wirst, wie es mit dieser Sache weitergeht. Bürgerkarten Wir bedauern sehr, dass die Bürgerkarten nicht rechtzeitig zu Weihnachten fertig sein werden, wie ursprünglich erhofft. Auf der anderen Seite haben wir Zehntausende mehr von euch in unserer großartig wachsenden Community, als wir uns je vorgestellt haben, und wir haben Rekorde bei der Finanzierung von Menschenmassen gebrochen. Infolgedessen ist die Erfüllung der Bürgerkarte eine viel größere Aufgabe. Dies in Verbindung mit der Zusammenlegung von 34.397 Kickstarter-Versprechen sind die beiden Gründe für die Verzögerung. Kickstarter ermöglicht es den Leuten zwei Wochen lang, alle Abrechnungsprobleme nach Abschluss der Kampagne zu korrigieren, so dass wir erst kürzlich mit der Arbeit mit den Daten beginnen konnten. Wenn wir jetzt in die Produktion gehen würden, würden die Leute, die Star Citizen auf Kickstarter unterstützt haben und die Leute, die Stufen und Upgrades auf Kickstarter hinzugefügt haben, nicht das Kartenlevel bekommen, das sie verdient haben. Auf einer positiven Anmerkung möchten wir, dass ihr alle etwas habt, um euren Freunden, Familie und anderen Space-Sim-Fan-Liebhabern Weihnachten vor der Tür zu schenken. Wir werden später im Monat digitale Ferienkarten zur Verfügung stellen, damit diejenigen, die sich freundlicherweise entschieden haben, Star Citizen zu schenken, dies tun können. Wir versprechen Ihnen, Sie über die Erfüllung der Bürgerkarte auf dem Laufenden zu halten. Es wird sich lohnen. Diese Karten werden einmalig produziert und Ihr Name wird als Gründer von Star Citizen angezeigt. Wir hoffen, noch viele weitere Rekorde zu brechen und Ihre Karte soll uns an unsere bescheidenen Anfänge erinnern und dass Sie dazu beigetragen haben, dass dies für uns alle geschehen konnte. Sandi arbeitet so hart wie möglich, um sicherzustellen, dass sie so schnell wie möglich zu dir kommen! In den Nachrichten Anfang dieser Woche erschien Chris Roberts auf der ersten Folge eines mehrteiligen Livestreams für MMORPG. Chris nahm Fragen aus dem Publikum entgegen und sprach über alle Aspekte von Star Citizen. Die nächste Interview-Session ist Mittwoch, 12. Dezember um 17 Uhr EST.... also bring deine Fragen mit! Aber Chris ist nicht das einzige Star Citizen-Teammitglied, das die Runde macht! Eric Peterson, besser bekannt als Wingman, sprach kürzlich mit TinkTink über das Spiel! Greetings, Citizens!
