If there was ever a milestone that deserved a letter to the community it was this. When I first started on this adventure I would have never dreamed that we would ever this many people and this much support in building Star Citizen. It’s amazing to have a community and team that believe so fervently in what is being built… Say it loud: PC games are back, space combat games are back… we are making Star Citizen possible! We’ve put a great deal of thought into what would be an appropriate update to celebrate this milestone. But wait! Before we continue, it seems there’s an urgent comm-link coming through… Thank you, Admiral! It goes without saying that it was the thrill of a lifetime to work with Gary Oldman and the rest of our amazing cast. 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’s 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… that’s not something that happens every day! As I was saying before I was interrupted: one million Citizens! The stars of this game aren’t all Hollywood actors or big name game developers… they’re those you who are making the game possible in the first place. Our one millionth Citizen is Edenstar. Appropriately, he, like so many of you, were introduced to Star Citizen by a friend who was passionate about the game… in fact, he says he joined because he was worried he wasn’t going to see his friends anymore after the game launches! I’ve said many times that backers are our best marketing, and here’s some pretty solid proof! Edenstar, Pikes-zen, we’re going to go ahead and give you each a brand new Sabre to explore the ‘Verse with. Enjoy! In honor of our newest Citizen (really, our thousands of new Citizens!) we would like to give something back to the entire community for all your incredible support. Starting today, we are eliminating ‘Alpha Access’ and the $5 module passes. Anyone who has pledged for a Star Citizen Package can now play today without worrying they won’t have access to some portion of the ‘Verse in the future. No Star Marine pass, no Alpha 2.0 pass… 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. All backers will have access to any live release, the moment it publishes. In addition, I’d like to reward our earliest supporters who made it possible to get to this point. Everyone with an ‘alpha access’ package will be awarded 10,000 UEC; everyone who purchased an Arena Commander pass individually will be given 5,000 UEC (with the cap raising appropriately to allow this.) You also have my most sincere thanks: you were our vanguard, the battalion that fought the good fight from the beginning. Your impact on Star Citizen will never be forgotten, for without your early faith we couldn’t be where we are today. (Please note that this credit payout is going to take a big script, so it may take Turbulent a few days to work out the logistics!) It goes without saying that I’m proud of the incredible community that has come together to support Star Citizen to this point, and I’m so excited to watch and take part as you grow, evolve and change as we approach the finish line. Whether you were an Early Backer, a Veteran Backer, someone who joined yesterday or even one of the ‘Magnificent Seven’… we are all Star Citizens today, equal and with the same thing owed to us: the Best Damn Space Simulator Ever. Knowing that one million people (and growing!) are counting on us will only further fuel our desire to deliver. Every member of the Star Citizen team already knows that we work for the backers… and reaching one million is just another reminder why we are giving this project all of ourselves. Right now that’s getting Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 in shape to share with all of you in the near future, and we’re in the process of closing down Star Marine as well. Until then, the team and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts in making this possible. Star Citizen lives by the support it receives from the community, and that support has been loud and clear over these past three years. As I look around at artists, designers and engineers prepping Constellations and Retaliators for their multi-crew launch, I can say with certainty: I will see you very soon… in the ‘Verse! — Chris Roberts Grüße EINE MILLION BÜRGER! Wenn es jemals einen Meilenstein gab, der einen Brief an die Gemeinschaft verdiente, dann war es dieser. Als ich mit diesem Abenteuer anfing, hätte ich nie gedacht, dass wir jemals so viele Menschen und so viel Unterstützung beim Aufbau von Star Citizen haben würden. 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 zurück, Weltraum-Kampfspiele sind zurück.... wir machen Star Citizen möglich! Wir haben viel darüber nachgedacht, was ein angemessenes Update wäre, um diesen Meilenstein zu feiern. Aber warte! Bevor wir fortfahren, scheint es, dass eine dringende Kommunikationsverbindung durchkommt..... Danke, Admiral! Es 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, über diese Arbeit in den letzten Monaten Stillschweigen zu bewahren; jeder im Team wollte sie von den Dächern rufen. Die Qualität der Hauptdarsteller der Staffel 42 ist ein weiteres Zeugnis für die Gemeinschaft: Sie haben uns mit großer Leidenschaft unterstützt 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! Wie ich bereits sagte, bevor ich unterbrochen wurde: eine Million Bürger! Die Stars dieses Spiels sind nicht alle Hollywood-Schauspieler oder bekannte Spieleentwickler.... sie sind diejenigen, die das Spiel überhaupt erst möglich machen. Unser einmillionster Bürger ist Edenstar. Passend dazu wurde er, wie so viele von euch, von einem Freund, der leidenschaftlich für das Spiel war, mit Star Citizen bekannt gemacht.... tatsächlich sagt er, dass er beigetreten ist, weil er befürchtete, dass er seine Freunde nach dem Spielstart nicht mehr sehen würde! 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 Säbel geben, mit dem ihr den Vers erkunden könnt. Viel Spaß! Zu Ehren unseres neuesten Bürgers (wirklich, unserer Tausenden von neuen Bürgern!) möchten wir der gesamten Gemeinschaft etwas zurückgeben für all Ihre unglaubliche Unterstützung. Ab heute eliminieren wir Alpha Access und die $5-Moduldurchläufe. Jeder, der sich für 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 zusätzliche Zahlung für ein Modul in Arbeit, Pre-Release. In Zukunft, wenn wir eine Art Limited Release herausbringen müssen, wird dies über den PTU-Testserver erfolgen. Alle Geldgeber haben Zugang zu jeder Live-Version, sobald sie veröffentlicht wird. Außerdem möchte ich unsere ersten Unterstützer belohnen, die es ermöglicht haben, zu diesem Punkt zu gelangen. Jeder, der ein Alpha-Access-Paket hat, erhält 10.000 UEC; jeder, der einen Arena Commander Pass einzeln gekauft hat, erhält 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 geführt hat. Dein Einfluss auf Star Citizen wird nie vergessen werden, denn ohne deinen frühen Glauben könnten wir nicht dort sein, wo wir heute sind. (Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Kreditauszahlung ein großes Skript benötigt, so dass es einige Tage dauern kann, bis Turbulent die Logistik ausgearbeitet hat! Es versteht sich von selbst, dass ich stolz auf die unglaubliche Gemeinschaft bin, die sich zusammengeschlossen hat, um Star Citizen bis zu diesem Punkt zu unterstützen, und ich bin so aufgeregt, zuzusehen und daran teilzunehmen, wie Sie wachsen, sich entwickeln und verändern, während wir uns der Ziellinie nähern. 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. Zu wissen, dass eine Million Menschen (und immer mehr!) auf uns zählen, wird unseren Wunsch nach Leistung nur noch verstärken. Jedes Mitglied des Star Citizen-Teams weiß bereits, dass wir für die Geldgeber arbeiten.... und das Erreichen einer Million ist nur eine weitere Erinnerung, warum wir dieses Projekt ganz alleine durchführen. 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 schließen. Bis dahin danken das Team und ich Ihnen von ganzem Herzen, dass Sie dies ermöglicht haben. Star Citizen lebt von der Unterstützung, die sie von der Gemeinschaft erhält, und diese Unterstützung war in den letzten drei Jahren laut und deutlich. Wenn ich mich umsehe, wie Künstler, Designer und Ingenieure Constellations und Vergelter für ihren Multi-Crew-Launch vorbereiten, kann ich mit Sicherheit sagen: Ich werde dich sehr bald sehen.... in der 'Vers! - Chris Roberts Greetings ONE MILLION CITIZENS!
