The
Roberts Space Industries has a new Letter from the Chairman commemorating
the news that
Star Citizen has passed the $26 million mark, triggering
yet another stretch goal for the space combat game. The new feature is an
enhanced capital ship system, which will now work FTL-style: "Lead a damage
control team to fight fires and repair key systems during battle, control
internal bulkheads to slow boarders and man a number of consoles, like
navigation and engineering, that will make commanding a capital ship feel even
more immersive." The feature creep is not over yet, as they outline a new ship
company and starter ship as $28 million stretch goals, saying (presuming this is
reached) those backers who
prefer the new Mustang ship to the original Aurora starter ship can choose it
instead.
