Star Citizen hosted a $275 dinner for its highest paying subscribers to announce a really costly ship

Star Citizen, the seemingly upcoming area sim that has been funded by huge participant investments, simply discovered a method to get much more cash from its followers.

A publish on Resetera has detailed an extravagent dinner held for Star Citizen donors who’ve backed the game to the tune of at the very least $1000 (credit score to member ‘Noodle’ for the thread and the photographs beneath – we’re denied entry to the pages on the game’s official website that element the occasion, having by no means thrown cash at Star Citizen).

The ‘Aegis VIP Event’, which value $274.73 to attend, and befell at Depot 1899 in Frankfurt, Germany. It included a QQ&A with Chris Roberts and different builders from the staff, in addition to a “special Aegis Announcement.”

The announcement, because it seems, was one other ship that gamers have been in a position to pre-purchase and ultimately use in Star Citizen, a game that has, reportedly, burned through a lot of the money it has introduced in already. The Aegis Nautilus Solstice Limited Edition – Warbond, which comes with lifetime insurance coverage and a VFG Industrial Hanger, is a ‘tactical minelayer’ that is ready to deploy mines, but in addition sweep for and destroy them. It’s supplied to members of the Chairman’s Club for a cool $675.

Star Citizen remains to be in alpha. The ship isn’t but obtainable to play with, even should you purchase it – in truth, minelaying isn’t truly part of the game but, and it’s not potential to type a crew massive sufficient to function a ship like this. But, should you so want, you’ll be able to lay down $675 and ultimately, theoretically, personal this ship.

Star Citizen’s full launch nonetheless appears to be a great distance away. Its single participant marketing campaign part, Squadron 42, is scheduled for a 2020 release.
