    Can somebody help me? I'm on the fence about preordering this after the whole Rome II ****storm. Can somebody give me a little nudge off?

    This is not a preorder. It's a pledge. The game isn't even in alpha yet. There is so much information online about this -- the biggest non-publisher-funded AAA game in the history of gaming -- that I suggest going on Youtube and searching for Star Citizen will be your best bet. There is a whole load of videos from CIG (the developers) that explains quite literally everything.

    After the (25) votes have all been counted we have a clear winner!

    The Citizens have spoken, the Bit Tech Star Citizen Squadron will forevermore be known as....


    Bit-Sec




    Thanks for participating all. Is anyone here a master of photoshop that can come up with a little logo?

    Guys, CitizenCon live stream tonight. If you want to get your hands on some new variants and possibly some limited ships, I suggest you stay up. If anyone wants to come hang out with Black Widow Company on TeamSpeak let me know and I'll hook you up a guest pass on to the server. :)

    Its 10pm GMT - am I correct?

    Sadly I won't be around (on a 2nd date :naughty:)

    Its a bit unfair that they seem to release all the cool ships while everyone in the EU is fast asleep, I hope they change that this time around (not that I'll likely buy anything so I don't why I'm complaining)

    They have different limits.

    Some ships are limited number, others are limited purchase time. Others still are limited by ratio of citizens.

    After the last time I tried, maybe I shouldn't try again. All I could come up with is something revolving around bit-secks. :worried:

    Mine isn't!

    - Retaliator bought.
    - Gladiator bought.
    - Waiting on the Hornet variants today.
    - Grabbing an Avenger as it's going into the hangar.
    - Hoping they release the M50 and Starfarer.

    Then I'm ready to take up my position in the Terminus Fleet for Black Widow Company. :)

    In one, you gotta catch 'em all!

    In the other, you just want to beat the shitty little kids to a pulp. :D

    Just melted my 325a and got the Advanced Hunter package with the Avenger. I've loved that ship ever since I first saw it, and the designer is British. Can't wait to get it in the hanger tomorrow.
