As it stands now the project raised $3,351,025 and there's 7 more days to go. I hope we'll crack the $4 mio. stretch goal especially  because of the promised mod tools. A Star Wars mod seems inevitable :-)

Anyway, save your awesome First Strike models and textures, they might be needed in 2 years.

Just got over $4 million. Mod tools are a go and some other stuff like FPS-style boarding action and space walks.

Re: Star Citizen (from Chris Roberts, the creator of Wing Commander)

Aye, does look pretty sweet, though from looking at the way the ships handle in that vid it brings more to my mind the likes of Babylon 5, especially the Earthforce Starfury with its multiple manouering thrusters for a truer more realistic flight characteristic for a space fighter. Maybe a B5 mod is what that game needs?

wink

Not too keen on the starfighter design for either faction either, hope they have some sleaker sexier designs in the works too.
