Star Citizen - July Update of Space Cantinas and Insurance Salespeople

I guess I was wrong, there must be someone in office today, heh
Escort carriers, now? There are gonna be so many capital ships in this game
Just imagine the kind of missions you could create with all these big ships at your disposal ... Nnnnngh. Modders will have a field trip with SC.
It's just plain evil that I'll have LTI access to most ships until way later this year. I am so tempted to add the pirate pack or a racing ship to my pledge. Or that crazy-ass tanker. Dammit, I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Edit: Bugger it all, I caved and rebought the Pirate Pack. I think a ship that's likely to get blown up should have LTI, and the fact that it's already half-equipped and thus more or less ready to go means I can get a cheapish disposable NPC escort for my Freelancer. Plus, it just looks far too awesome to ignore.
FML, I don't wanna think about how much money I've spent already.

How is modding going to work if everything is the same multiplayer instance? (probably another clueless question, but I thought I read that on a site/this thread)
The persistent universe is separate from the player-run servers, which allow modding.
Semantics, but the Hangar is the first of several parts of the alpha. It's split so that the hangar, dogfighting test, planetside test, persistant universe, and squadron 42 are modular parts of it that will be released at different times before the beta.

The way he describes the economy sounds almost identical to how Freelancer was described when it was originally announced (before it was scaled down).
From what they've said of how that will work, you'll have the full SC universe at your disposal, but will not have the full functionality of the PU, which of course would require its own data center to operate.
RSI has stated that the maximum player count per instance could be somewhere north of 100, but probably south of 200. A certain group already has 50 Retaliator bombers. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Modders... I wish I could set up a pub fund for modders. I have no doubt that the mod community will produce some spectacular results. Already the new CnC interface from the 13 million goal SCREAMS for an Allegiance port. I would abandon all of my pledge ships for a new Allegiance update in CryEngine 3.
If you get the chance to back after July 6 ask on GAF before committing to anything. No guarantees, but original backers could still get you an LTI ship through gifting.I'm not a backer yet.......I'm so broke atm

Neat, thank you very much.
Aurora LX and M50 for now.
My LX will likely become a 315p at least, but probably a bigger exploration vessel. A pirate pack is also in my future.
Hornet and Connie variants will be very hard to resist. My hangar is very modest compared to most.
All that said and I still plan on playing mods as much if not more than, SC.
13 hours 13 minutes left to receive veteran back status with LTI perks.

They picked a bad time to end the LTI program. The Kickstarter -> New Website migration is a known issue and support has been answering a lot of tickets since the livestream. Bad timing with the holiday.
Chat said e-mail could take up to a week to be answered.
New small news:
Hangar count is up to 5.
Basic, Business, Deluxe, Pirate, Vanduul

The Business Hangar looks really slick from what I've seen so far, looking forward to a closer inspection of the hangars.
A small crew might be answering support tickets but Cloud Imperium is technically closed until Monday. Did you get an auto-response after opening your ticket?

Their new website is so slick. I love it.
Yeah.
It will be much better when all the bugs are ironed out.
They raised almost 700k so far today.
Last few hours. I'm out.
You should be OK then. ..unless you want one of the limited ships that won't be there tomorrow! If so, PM me and I'll reserve one for when your account is sorted out.

Cool, I missed that. Where was that mentioned?
And then we'll probably see them reach their $20m goal for a private investor free release with similar sales for Freelancer, Hornet, and Constellation
They may need to do some discounts for those or release some more entry level ships as there wont be as many people willing to split with $100+
14 million achieved. 2/3 of the way to fully funded by the fans!
