The space simulation game Star Citizen has found a new way to extract money from the crowd:
Crowdfunded space simulation game Star Citizen has launched its $27,000 (£20,000) Legatus Pack, which includes nearly all its spacecraft plus extras.
Only players who have already spent $1,000 in the game can access the pack.
Cloud Imperium, the creators of Star Citizen, has received more than $200m in crowdfunding since launching a Kickstarter campaign for it in 2012.
According to its website it has more than two million players, although the game itself is still in development.

Naah, they'll be mad when you and 50 other people spawn the supercruiser at the same time at Olisar, making everybody else's framerate drop to 2 fps. :-)
(I'm forgetting now which ship was causing that problem. Connie? Starfarer?)

The $50k pack, released 2 months later, will have the UltraCruiser, making your Super Cruiser look ridiculous.
3 months later, the Overwhelmingly Large Cruiser will be available in the $75k extension...

Just wait till they do a package deal to reach into real life with the Uber Cruiser.

I'm holding out for the Oppressively Colossal Cruiser at $100k.

Would you like to order it with the Ludicrous Speed option for an extra $10k ?
