Star Citizen Becomes Two Games Next Month [Jan 30, 2016, 1:32 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Part of the
Roberts Space Industries Roundup we mentioned
last night includes word that as of
February 14th, Squadron 42 and Star Citizen will become two
separate packages (thanks Cutter). At that time Squadron 42 will become a
standalone game or an optional add on for Star Citizen, a plan that's apparently
old news to backers of the space combat game(s). Here's word:
At the December livestream, we announced that Squadron 42 and Star Citizen will be split into two separate packages in the near future. To update on this: the split will occur on February 14th. Squadron 42 will be available as either a stand alone game or an optional addon for Star Citizen rather than be included by default. If you want to lock in both games for the lowest possible price, consider pledging before this deadline. You can learn more about Squadron 42, our thrilling single-player adventure, here.

Just to clear the confusion....
EP. 1 is the normal Single game they said in Kickstarter...
EP 2 is the former Mission pack expansion that the early Kick starter people got for Free.
Instead of making some random missions like wing commander expansion... It will continue the story of EP. 1... (after the game ships)
EP.3 TBD a lot later
So if you have the "mission disk " in your account ... the EP2 is free
Well, those fuckers better make episode 3 free for KS (or initial RSI site) backers, too, because the Squadron 42 I pledged for was NEVER ever supposed to become an episodic release. It's not my fault and not my problem if they are too retarded to deliver a full game in one piece as promised.
So they need to rename episode 3 Squadron 43 or 44 or 45 or Squadron Rip-Off or whatever the fuck they fancy but they better deliver Squadron 42 in its entirety free to all backers who pledged before it became known to be an episodic game.
Also, we were promised 50 missions WITHOUT the expansion alone. So they first need to deliver a 50 mission campaign (it is very unlikely that the first two episodes will include that many missions) and then a reasonably sized expansion after that and ONLY THEN are they even allowed to BEGIN considering the milkage of their backers who pledged early enough to get Squadron 42 *and* the expansion for free.
