Comment on Over $600 Million Later, Star Citizen Is Now at the Alpha 3.20 Stage

Hold on, I’m not familiar with Star citizen, but do you have to spend real money to get ships in this game?

The MISC Hull C added with the Alpha 3.20 update costs an eye-watering $500

AFAIK all ships can/will be purchasable with in game currency, but they’re available to backers for IRL monies during development. Been a while since I played but that’s how I remember it!

  This is correct. Everything is buyable with in game money. You can also rent ships in game, so if you want to get into something like, say, mining, you can rent a mining ship and then use it to earn enough to buy one.

    And in game it does not take long to get enough money to buy any ship.
    
    So shipbackers really are backing the program, and not buying access to ships as an exclusive thing. Buying in-game ships is a fun game loop

$25,000. That’s how much a single ship can cost.

This game developer is such trash.
