ENDLESS SPACE 2 SHIPS EBAY PLUS
Cloud Imperium Games plans to roll out the other three pieces on a quarterly basis.īut the fragmented approach Cloud Imperium Games has taken, plus the fact that Squadron 42 hasn’t had any kind of launch date given since 2016, agitates plenty.

The first of four upgrades promised for Star Citizen’s persistent universe this year, Alpha 3.1, launched in early April. It has been heavily criticized for the lengthy development period behind what are now effectively two huge AAA video game experiences: a single-player game called Squadron 42, and a “persistent universe” that is more like an MMO.Ī portion of the universe has been playable since December 2015, and Davis said Cloud Imperium has been adding “tons of functionality, content and gameplay” to it.

Star Citizen, announced in 2012 with a $500,000 Kickstarter campaign, has been in development since 2011. There are 163 extras, such as skins and vessel add-ons, plus a ton of in-game credits. It comes with 117 ships, pretty much the whole fleet in the game to date. The bundle came to light in the official forums on Saturday when someone posted its contents and screengrabs of the page. That said, anyone without that status could contact Cloud Imperium Games directly about buying the pack if they so wished. The Legatus Pack’s page at Roberts Space Industries is accessible only to those with “Concierge” status in Star Citizen (the $1,000 funding threshold). across organizations/corporations/guilds.” In some cases, Davis said, those groups number more than 10,000 people. Davis noted that in some cases, a bundle like this isn’t even an individual purchase, but “a package that players will use to deploy ships, items, etc. We have some passionate supporters that are not looking at Star Citizen as your typical game purchase/transaction but rather a dream project they want to see happen.” Requested by the communityĭavis said the Legatus Pack “has been asked for by a number of our pledgers,” but another Cloud Imperium representative was unable to give figures on how many, if any, the company has sold yet. “We were responding to what the community asked for. “It wasn’t created in a vacuum,” said Eric Kieron Davis, the head of Cloud Imperium’s studio in Los Angeles. That includes people who lead guilds and others who view the game as more of a lifestyle hobby consistent with golf or sailing, according to the company. In a statement to Polygon, Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games said it created the Legatus Pack in response to requests from a hardcore segment of the community. “Many of us are just hopeful and excited to be able to play a space sim, but it seems like whenever people see news about this game they are ready to condemn anybody who is interested. “I’m tired of people calling the entire player base a bunch of suckers, or a cult or whatever,” said redditor Didactic_Tomato. Others bridled at seeing Star Citizen, once again, labeled a scam or vaporware. Close your fucking ‘donation’ shop and finish the god damn game, if it even can be finished and become playable in any current fan’s lifetime.”

“I’ve been on the ‘wait and see’ side of the fence for 6 years now, but shit like this makes me fall right over into ‘maybe the guys calling this game a scam are on to something.’. “Alright, this is getting ridiculous,” said redditor Strykerx88 in the Star Citizen subreddit.
