Attention: Game Packages Changing Janurary 1, 2016

Holiday Livestream Announcements for Star Citizen

The Holiday Livestream has come and gone, and boy was it a doozy!  What started out a little slow revealed a lot of information regarding the release of 2.1.  The most important piece of information is the release of 2.1 will most likely happen before Christmas.  This means that other things, like the flyable Freelancer and hangar ready Sabre will be here before we know it!

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate just how fast they've been able to push the Sabre out.  Being Hangar Ready only a few months after the concept release shows how much they've improved their ship pipeline.  Hopefully, we can see this beast in action before the drop of 2.3!

The other piece of Really Important News is the unfortunate news that Game Packages will be changing starting on Janurary 1, 2016.  As it was predicted, the Persistent Universe portion is being split from Squadron 42 into two separate games.  This means that instead of getting two games for the price of 25% off one game, you have to spend twice as much to purchase them separately. 

If there was a time to invest into the game, it's now.  Starter packages are only $45, and with the free referral code provided on this page, you can even score an additional $5 of in-game credit when you enlist.

Finally, check out this new video on Youtube answering the question, What Is Star Citizen?  It's a 10 minute guide to everything that Star Citizen is and what you need to do to get started.

As usual, I'll see you all in the 'Verse!

Incoming! December 16th Live Stream

Robert's Space Industries Holiday Livestream

On December 16th, RSI will be having their annual Holiday Livestream.  This is always a great opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at the people who put so much work into creating Star Citizen.  While they haven't officially announced the time, it is usually some time during the day, so I hope you can watch from work like I can!

If you want to tune in, check out their homepage to find out when it will be happening.

There's been rumored to be a lot they will show us that we haven't seen already.  Among the rumors is the possibility of the procedural asteroid and mining functions.  There are also rumors of special ship sales that may be happening.  One thing that's not a rumor: the Idris-P and, more excitingly, the Javelin Destroyer will be making a comeback.  For those who want to pony up on a spaceship worth more than some used cars, this is your chance.

If you watch the livestream, be sure to come back to this blog and tell me what  you thought of it.  If Star Citizen seems something you may be interested in, then I can only recommend you follow this link to learn the best way to sign up for free.

See you in the 'Verse!
