Hey there fellow myBB users!

Any star citizen backers out there? I'm looking at setting up a decent Joburg group of players to arrange some events as soon as the dog-fighting beta is released, anyone out there besides me?
 
Hi Chevron, have you checked out the Star Citizen SA group on steam? It also gives links to the Capedellan Confederation group which has a lot of South Africans. What ship have you got and where about are you based?
 
I am playing with the idea of backing soon. Have my account created, just cannot decide which backing package to take. Thinking of the pathfinder or merc ones for 75/80 dollars. I am not in JHB anyway, so wouldn't apply to this meet up scenario anyway.

I love the ambition of this game though. I truly hope that Rob does not have to cut many corners to get the game finished and polished.
 
Well I don't see why we can incorporate gamer's from around SA for a massive LAN weekend or something. I have the Digital Bounty Hunter pack, although I have a feeling that I might upgrade my ship in the very near future. I almost splashed the $225 on the Caterpillar which they brought out again limited time until today for the weekend but I managed to resist the urge....barely. :cry:

Remember SoulTax, you can always take out a pack and then melt the ship for store credit and upgrade to whatever you feel like at a later stage. Just make sure you get in on the Alpha/Beta access while it is available. The Dogfighting module should become available from late Nov apparently.

Just signed up, thanks. Still 4 hours left of install time before I can have my first look at the game lol. If anyone in Pretoria East and surroundings needs the files, PM me.
 
I was wondering when some fellow space simmers would show up... I grew up playing Wing Commander, so backing this was a no-brainer. Put my money down in Nov 2012 (good call given what's happened to the Rand) and haven't regretted it for a second.

I've started a very casual and totally unprofessional Youtube channel to show the game off to some friends who haven't backed yet. Feel free to have a look.

Had my first walk around the station last night and a quick flight and land today. Now to learn the rest this weekend.

Oh trust me, I am going to need a lot of help haha. If you have free time it would be appreciated thanks. I will try and figure out how to venture further from the station tonight. I see on YouTube one guy said the station has free ships a player can use if he wants, is it so or will I be stealing another players ship?

If you consider stealing another player's ship "a free ship", then yes. :-) You can only fly the ships you have bought or rented; however, many players kindly let other people use their ships, and the folks flying big ships like Constellations or Retaliators are always willing to take on crew members. Hit F12 to open chat and ask someone if you can borrow a ship or hitch a ride.

What package did you get, by the way?

This one, heard it was good for cargo.
 
The Aurora is a lovely ship, very versatile. The MR is not the primary cargo version, that would be the Aurora Clipper, but all the Aurora's are very multi-role capable. I have a Legionnaire (just couldn't resist those extra weapon hardpoints).

I backed a few years ago? (2 or so??) Been following the progress off an on.
Took a couple of days to download the thing!

Started it up. Game crashed many times. Ship got stuck in a wall. Couldn't figure out how to active the hyperdrive thingy. Basically don't expect a seamless experience just yet ;)
 
When last did you try to play ? The latest version has been very stable for me. Have played for hours with no crashes.

If you have questions about the controls, just hit Esc and check the keyboard / mouse / joystick layout.
