Can anyone access the Space Marine, apparently i can only access 2 universe and that's it. i thought they mention the update allow to access space marine o.o?

@AeonixG No access for space marine at the moment, still in development.

For now AC( Arena Commander) and Persistent Universe is still in alpha. everything is still a work in progress.

Another FREE FLY WEEK! This is the first Free Fly that includes Crusader, so there’s more to explore than ever before. Free Fly accounts will have access to the Hornet F7C military fighter, the Aurora LN starter and the Mustang Delta interceptor. And if you want 5K free UEC (in-game credits for your account), PM me for codes before registering!

hi moogle, have you test flown yet? free-fly week is on starting from last weekend - so why not try out the 3 ships that are free to fly first and then decide - also maybe share which space games you played before and what role u like / dislike to play then maybe we can help advise.
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-lin...d-Other-Updates

oh and if you register a new account with the code we provide - can get 5K UEC free. will PM u.

alright no problem with the account.

as for the Aurora series, it's all rounder ship and the LN (Legionnaire) is the combat variant (or has slight more features that make it slightly more offensive)

so depends on what you want to do in the PU (Persistent universe). fight, trade, explore, research, mine, salvage, refuel, transport passengers, race etc. and each role is usually tied to a ship - though some are better at it than others.

if you want to do be more involved in combat with some slight cargo - take a look at the Avenger series. abit more expensive though. otherwise the Aurora or Mustang starters should be fine.

and remember you can always upgrade your ship later while the crowd funding campaign is ongoing.

Hey guys, I have missed the kickstarter package and am planning to get one in the website now. Is the Lifetime insurance worth it? Heard that you can buy insurance inside monthly? Any news and tips?

no problems this game won't be for everyone. but glad you manage to test it out.

not possible to get LTI on packaged ships at the moment (if not forever, but it is more of a convenience, we are confident there are other ways the devs can create time and in-game money sinks). yes we can purchase insurance in-game so no problems.

Final released game will be:
Squadron 42 (Single Player (SP)) and Star Citizen (Persistent Universe (PU) / MMO-like)

The SP & PU will focus on piloting fighters and multi-crew ships in first person. It is not a real-time strategy game. There are no levels to grind, no skills to acquire. The only skills are your own and how well you pilot your spaceship and the modules you choose to equip it with.

The PU will have elements of sandbox gameplay. You can be a trader, explorer, passenger transport, information courier, competitive racer, researcher, salvager, miner, refueler or combat specialist in the PU. And do it either by yourself or with your friends in the ship of your choice. Each ship has it’s own characteristics, specialization and limitations. More expensive or bigger ships does not mean it is the best.

For now, no plans to be distributed through Steam.

What to expect now? Game is currently in Alpha phase and still in development. Information on the game is being shared (across various media and platforms). Expect bugs and delays. We can pledge to support the game’s development but remember, this is Chris Robert’s game we are supporting and it is HIS game that is being made, not ours.

Are there games similar to this in the past? The original Wing Commander, X-wing or Freespace series.

For those still interested i will share tips later but really need you to also think about your past experience in space sims and what you like or dislike - even if no experience is fine - just register an account and test fly this week for free! if you want 5K UEC codes, PM me - but only if you register new accounts.

edit: want some cool concept wallpaper for your PC or desktop?

FYI, the lifetime insurance package is selling out there in other game forums. So it's possible to get them from other backers.

And if you guys want to register new accounts, pm me and you will get 5k UEC for free when you do.

oh definitely, thought u were asking if can buy LTI from the store at the moment. which is not possible since there are no concept sales. if you feel the need for LTI ships, packages & modules - it is afterall your money and completely your choice.

meanwhile, more CIG / SC news!



Sneak peek at the Xi'An Scout's development!



And for the rest if you are interested in the game, feel free to ask more questions and if you want to test out the game - it is free fly for this week only! And those who want to create new accounts with our codes will get free 5K UEC - feel free to PM and ask for the codes!

My semi-guide for those new to the alpha. you'll have to click the spoiler tags to reveal the images otherwise folks will complain.

--------------
Choose Universe


Universe (or Port Olisar) - once out of your bunk area, go down to the Hub area. it should look something like this below and look at those screens - an icon to USE the screen should appear.


then select the ship you want to fly - take note of the landing pad it will spawn at and then go there via the airlocks. You will need to engage the airlocks as well - USE twice.



Landing pad should look something like this.


Board your ship or nicely request to join someone else's larger ship like a Freelancer, Cutlass, Retaliator or Constellation. Might be even able to squeeze into a Sabre. Plenty of emotes like Salute help too Then go explore the mini-universe together.

These keys should work:
F9 - AR APPs (Journal & Scheduler)
F10 - Player Names & Item Info
F11 - Friends List
F12 - Chat Window

Left Alt + Space - Interact with HUD
Ctrl + C - Relative / Interactive Mode Toggle
Right Alt + M - Toggle Look Ahead
V - Change Flight Mode
B - Select POI / Quantum Travel (Middle Mouse to Confirm)
Ctrl + F - Exit Ship or Station

While in First Person
1 - Pistol
2 - SMG
H - Heal
Z - Prone
Ctrl - Crouch
o - Turn on Flashlight
