Business hangar looks better than the Deluxe Hangar imo :) And hornet is one of the best dog fighters in the game right now. Second is the 325A. You should get access to the hangar straight away...dog fighting module starts in Dec.

Do you guys like space sims/adventures or just trolling me? :P

Yeah I played EVE for a while..but it needs a lot of time to actually have 'fun' in the game. Not suitable if you work 9-5 everyday. Plus damn steep learning curve of economy.

This will be pretty much freelancer meets wing commander. Tons of action and player driven economy which you can be a part of or completely ignore.

Star Citizen is going to end up being one of the most expensive games I've owned, considering the upgrade i'll make just to play it :lol:

I played Starlancer when I was much younger then played Freelancer so many times. I used to ignore the actual storyline just so the economy part would keep going, kinda sucked how you never actually got to keep going in that game after the storyline ended....

A little from column A, a little from column B. :lol:

I really don't like the payment model, plus, is there any actual game play footage, or are you throwing money at cute faux ads?

Let's bring this back on topic...

Whilst it's not a flash game, does anyone else on here play World of Tanks?

Played World of Tanks ages back...when it was buggy and laggy...kept shooting at a lvl 10 guy/tank for 5 minutes with my level 1 tank...then he just turned around and farted and my tank exploded into billions of fragments... I un-installed the game shortly. :P

I do however play War Thunder sometimes.


@Supplanter,
That video you posted about Hornet, is actually in-game footage, but yeah, at 4K resolution.

There's also this early 2012 video of ship mechanics.


This is the in-game footage of the hangar module at 1080p which is already live and available for backers. :)


@Kiz,
That upgrade will last you a good amount of years. And you are forgetting the awesome games coming up in 2014. Just to name a few :)

Thief 4

As for The Witcher, that was the first true HD game id ever played and yea that's when I truly saw where graphics was heading... then I bought a xbox......................... was a massive back step

Do you have MSY there? Should be able to get things cheaper. What changes did you make?

Yea MSY is where i'd get the parts. Umm, well just looking at a few alternatives to certain ones.

Probably won't change much

Should be a good time killer doing raids. Thanks mate. What are the rates? And population? Hope they don't have pay to win custom items?

This is a huge time Killer but i am loving doing all the old content again. It is a 1x server rate, there is no pay to win and they are adament about that. They are also about to release a new premanantly progressive server that has gotten a few people excited.

So far population isn't ideal for us Aussies unless you want to play in the middle of the night when it is peak for the Europeans, but we are still getting raids done!

heh, I'm intentionally delaying my upgrade as long as possible so I get more bang for buck later.

Still waiting on that dogfighting module to come out, I need to dust off my thrustmaster.
