YEAH! Every second of this video my brain is thinking generic pickup truck commercial. And normally they are so lame and boring, but somehow this actually sounds cool in some way.
Alec Degraaf and the Aurora ad's music sounds like some preppy music you'd find on Toyoda/Honda commercial. i wonder how the masses would receive the ad's if they were air on normal TV?
+noah Denzell William Jones look at origin jumpworks commercial. they realy feel like BMW. even the computervoice is reminiscent to the navi voice. also the fact its a "GmbH" isnt a an accident. as in a "10 for the..." said: everything in our culture is a brand, so is in star citizen. btw. i love 4x4 and pickups in RL. i found the freelancer sexy anyway, but after watching this commercial, i felt in love with the freelancer max ;) so gj CIG, it worked out well!
@@captaincaveman177 Unfortunately, it seems to go the other way. With Patch 3.23 the Freelancer now gets the same agility as a Conny or Corsair, just with lower(!) top speed. And auto-gimbal has been removed, too. Still have my MAX, but I am not sure if it still makes sense.
Well, with the new upcoming cargo gameplay you might wanna dust off your Freelancer. Compact ship with good cargo space, easy to operate. Especially the MAX is an excellent small - medium hauler.
@@robertmandl9326 Well, I will definitely give it a try. Sad thing is you cannot use the full capacity, as the "middle" part is nearly impossible to manually load, because of the automatic doors. But my main concern is, that you have to leave the ramp open to load cargo. So at outposts, everyone can just steal your ship. Currently using the side door only is rather "safe". The nomad, on the other hand, might become a good ship for small cargo trips. You can use the ship tractor beam to load you ship while being off ground.
I showed this to my dad and he laughed because he's a sci fi movie buff and it never dawned on him that they have to sell ships to people and make money. Like just imagine the Millennium Falcon TV commercial.
If was bit bigger it would be, Serenity had shuttles and dedicated crew quarters, larger cargo bay BUT no weapons. I’ll take the freelancer end of the day :)
i just discovered it once was like that and now i cannot stop thinking about it... i just hate entering ships with a ladder, i like to walk up stair and the freelancer had it!!
DesignVisStudios All the cinematics and commercials made by CIG are done in-engine, using game assets. Doesn't mean the game will look like this when you're playing it, but the commercial was made using the engine, not some CGI.
Hanfgurkenhasser They mentioned it at some point, and it wasn't in the vote for 'What ship commercial should we focus on next?' that was yesterday. It's also the next most complete ship aside from scythe, avenger, and cutlass. Plus constellation variants are going to be close in about a month.
Griffolion they could've approached from the top and bottom. that freelancer would've had to do some fancy flying. the commercial would have been 20 seconds longer.
kxmode spin 90 degrees is hardly fancy , however adding some maneuvers would show off the ships handling abilities which of course would be a plus for a commercial add
Damian Curie Exactly. It was just lazy to park the pirates right next to their target's guns. Those pirates are either stupid or they're stupid. Either way they were stupid.
kxmode While your not wrong this is a commercial. So its all fake in-game. Actors in a studio. Its to make the ship look good. Its marketing. Obviously if real pirates did this then yeah, They'd be the stupidest pirates in the 'Verse.
The Freelancer is an homage to the Serenity, so this commercial combines a bit of Firefly with a bit of Truck commercial. I think it came out rather well on both fronts :D
Exchanged my Conni for Store credits and got a DUR and a MAX upgrade, have to wait a little 'til I've got enough monah again to get the base lancer for the upgrade xD
I started playing about 2 years after this video was posted and this video is the reason why I got into the game. The free lancer was the first ship I ever got. The game was so bad and laggy with no frame rate back then, but I didn't care... I had a Freelancer. I hope the re-release this variant some day and just call it an older model.
Really want to get this ship because of that and it's purpose but its only a 2 crew ship if I'm right. An really looking for a 4-5 man ship that has a small tight cockpit unlike the connie. That ship has a way too open feeling interior.
Please may we have all these features including the stairs up the front landing gear? I would have one of these as my main daily driver if that VTOL worked and the turrets... oh those turrets... Magic in this commercial but the final product is a pale expression of the same ideas...
What I would give to hear this trailer's narration in Nathan Fillion or Alan Tudyk's voice. Also chee006 don't cry. just keep flying. like a leaf on the wind... and watch yourself soar
All these years later and the present Freelancer only shares a passing resemblance to the one depicted here. Engines are fixed and the turrets cannot do anything near what was promised. One day perhaps?
***** It might be a bit difficult to force players to be crew members. I think everyone would like to have a ship instead being forced to recieve commands from another human being.^^
More like the Connie being the Firefly. But a bit too long as well. Maybe something from the Origin 500 Series if they can transport Cargo, but thinking about it, this gallery in the hangar of the connie really looks like the serenity.
i cant believe i never noticed this until now. its has a bumper sticker that says "MOTHER TRUCKER" also, im pretty sure this is a Freelancer MAX. look at the shape of the rear hatch, the shape of the nose of the ship, ths shape of the controls in his hands, the flaps on the engines, and the stairs on the front landing gear.
This is the old 'gen 1' version of the 'lancer. Eventually the other versions will be rebuilt using the new hull. Also, the Max has two engines in the nacelles, this has 1.
+Robert Schumacher so do no freelancers have the front stair case, bread shaped cargo ramp, or pilot controls shaped that way anymore? because as a (temporary) owner of a standard freelancer, i know it doesnt
As of 9/1/16, the only revamped and flyable Freelancer is the basic model. The DUR, MAX, and MIS can only be seen in the hangar, and still use the 'gen 1' hull. Consider them placeholders until CIG can free up the manpower to do the remodelling and/or add in the content to make them useful in their roles.

I have never seen a game with so much talented and creative artists, the ship designs are over the top amazing, not to forget to mention space and stations and so on. You will probably hear this a lot from others, I have been playing eve for over 8 years and many of the ships are so so ugly, but I love that game a lot. However, the more I watch video's of Star Citizen, I really think this Star Citizen has a whole lot of promise and definite awards will be in its future. That is the pro's, the con's is that I am probably going to be spending way to much money on this game because the designs and options available just right now are must have items. Just imagine when it gets going. I have decided to pledge. I would have earlier but didn't find out about this until just a few days ago, from other players on Eve Online talking about it lol. The video's are breathtaking. I hope that space is vast to the point where people can actually get lost and actually explore and do scientific stuff, such as research or constructive things, build things. To get lost if they so desire to, unlike eve and other games, where other people are always up your butt in numbers. You just can't go anywhere where no man has gone before, there are already way too many people there when you get there and ready to gang you. A solo type person has no chance. I like pvp and working with other people, but I don't like the fact that you have to put up with a lot of new generation asshats in games with no morals or respect for others, that think their way is the only way and treat everyone else like they are dumb, especially new people to game. So that's just the way its going to be, with those things in mind, its important for people in games to have the option to work with a group or corporation or such or also have the option to solo if they so choose. The police in eve, called concord, are a joke, they are overrun by huge player corps that own the game now and most gates are overcamped, so a solo player does not have a chance. Some may disagree but I think there should be options for all types of players. Not everyone once constant action of dog fighting and dying, some are constructive, and that's why EVE has that amazing market with blueprints and industry for building things. Just from looking at Start Citizen the last few days, I really feel like this game is going to be, like I said, over the top. It is going to be hard for other sci-fi games to compete with this game. I plan to be there :) Thanks for sharing the video and I hope everyone has, pardon the pun, a blast!
@Samsi13 Yes. once the game goes live most certainly. Pledging now for all types of models are meant as pledges to better the development. You can enjoy the full game with the cheapest game package. The aurora indeed. This also included the solo campaign sq42 for those who backed before februari i recall. There will be a discounted price for the solo campaign if you bought a Star Citizen package after this deadline. So for about 40 dollars for the cheapest package and about 16/20? dollars for the solo campaign you needn't spent another dime. Presumably when the persistent universe alpha improves, at a certain point shipyards will be included where you can spent your ingame aUEC (alpha UEC) which you earned by doing missions, trade runs etc. As of right now you can earn aUEC in game by a couple of ways. ICC probe missions, Covalex shipping hub P.I. mission, fixing com sats and killing the ultimate badass in the server. This currency can be expended in the in game shops for better guns, armour, clothes, fuel, repair costs. every alpha update this will be wiped to test balancing etc. once the game goes live there will be UEC and everything you want to buy you can in game. Chris Roberts stated that he wants to introduce the Pay for convenience instead of pay to win. You WILL be able to buy UEC with real dollars/euros etc if you have more money than time. This will be capped by a daily amount and once your virtual bank account exceeds a certain balance you wouldnt be able to buy more uec. Also some special items can only be obtained by playing the game. so just the other way around from pay to win.
These ships are cool and all, but I hope they are working on the actual game mechanics as well. But I guess they need to keep marketing and making ships that people can buy to ensure Star Citizen doesn't run out of money. With all the promises they have made by now, this game should be the most awesome space game ever.
ninja1818 Believe it or not, when your running a developing company and developing a huge game with this kind of scope and tech involved and outsourcing other companies to do work such as Artificial Intelligence for the game,and many other factors such as paying your people, facility maintenance/upkeep/purchase, etc. $48 million isn't actually THAT much when u factor in all the costs.
Big publisher titles like that also will roll the marketing costs into the "Production budget" to pad the numbers and build hype. It's like how you can have hugely famous movies that on the books show a loss. Look up "Hollywood accounting" on Wikipedia for some of the more egregious examples. I know for sure that every damn ad I saw on TH-cam was for TitanFall the month prior and the month after release. Every. Damn. Ad. Someone has to be paying for that hype machine running full-tilt.
OOo that''s a really nice commercial. I love the way they did it from the pilots point of view, rather than from a showroom pov. And the jump graphics... oooeeee really nice. Hope I don''t blow up on my first jump lol.
Impressive approach to advertising in-game items. I wonder how many people don't realize this is in-game footage. No web lies in the multimedia from greedy publishers around here.
DesignVisStudios Well, here's what Chris Roberts (head of development) said back when the Hornet commercial was aired: "It's rendered 100 per cent in-engine in real-time at 4K resolution. We scale everything for the super high resolutions that will be the basis of tomorrow's gaming experience; our assets are designed with high polycounts instead of having details baked into their textures. That's a big part of why Nvidia and AMD have been demoing Star Citizen at 4K!" Source: www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-23-stunning-star-citizen-in-engine-4k-resolution-gameplay-released
Espen Moe Good quoting. I can see high polycounts and 4k res. At this early stage it's great and I don't see why people are making attempts at putting this game down. It's totally futile. Maybe they can't comprehend a team of developers settling for nothing but the very best! Hard to swallow maybe huh?! Ryan is right. A lot of people are going to think there is a big difference between this commercial and game-play. a) because this commercial looks so good b) because that is what they are used to. It comes down to a target audience which is used to false advertising. Sure the disclaimers are usually displayed "This is not actually..." but that is still a problem we're just putting up with. How many fucking years have we put up with advertising for games by publishers and developers afraid to show us exactly what experience they created for the average consumer? Too bloody long and Chris Roberts doesn't need to demand such marketing tactics from his team. They are just offering it up on a plate as it is and I'm a fat bastard because I'm feeding on it.
Sure, you can't see out your windows much, but you don't HAVE to. Srsly I love my DUR so much. It's such a great ship and it's totally the Firefly-fan ship. It's got that round aesthetic and the commercial totally vibes that. Best ship! Can't wait until the exploration is in.
The acoustic guitar reminds me of Firefly and the commercial type setting reminds me of the space race Stargate episode. It would be cool to see commercials like this in the actual game for deep immersion. Great job.
Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black Tell them I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me. Leave the men where they lay They'll never see another day Lost my soul, lost my dream You can't take the sky from me. I feel the black reaching out I hear its song without a doubt I still hear and I still see That you can't take the sky from me. Lost my love, lost my land Lost the last place I could stand There's no place I can be Since I've found Serenity
LANCE !!!!! Oh my god. That voice! He already read the timelines in Star Wars: The Old Republic. He is Admiral Hacket. He is Bishop. He has one of the most iconic voices in the buiseness! I can´t stop grinning. He is my idol.
I can't be 100% sure without a proper credits screen, but I'm pretty damn sure that's Lance Henriksen doing the VO work. And if it is, CR wasn't blowing smoke when he said they were hiring more and better VO actors in the future. Kudos and awesome advert.

so gj CIG, it worked out well!
It really looks like any Ford F150 commercial: th-cam.com/video/rjxIjcEhS-M/w-d-xo.html
If the Freelancer actually operated this way, I would still own one.
it might do in the future, its a shame the thrusters dont move like that tho

Lol

I showed this to my dad and he laughed because he's a sci fi movie buff and it never dawned on him that they have to sell ships to people and make money. Like just imagine the Millennium Falcon TV commercial.
I was thinking more like Dodge, but w/e :P
8 years later, still gives me goosebumps
I just wish they'd remake this one with the new versions.
Too bad our quantum jump does not look. Like that

take my life, take my land, take me where i cannot stand
i dont care, im still free, since i found serenity

I miss the forward landing gear stair entry to the freelancer! It was such a cool way to enter the ship!
1 Year on and I still miss it!
i just discovered it once was like that and now i cannot stop thinking about it... i just hate entering ships with a ladder, i like to walk up stair and the freelancer had it!!
2yrs on still missing it
Wtf they get rid of that?! Ffs Chris.
@@SandMan_86 100%
I want that because it is basically a big space truck.

Khairul I'm imagining the space shows like "space races" and a lot of others.
Grand Tour need's its own show, but i would totally watch Space lane Truckers -watch as they deal with pirates with loads to large for there ship :D

This. This all day long.
Let me tell you about the 2945 Dodge Ram...
I swear if I didn't know it was Admiral Hackett at this point I would have bet money it was the voice for Dodge commercials.
And THIS was made using the in engine footage?! That Jump is looking AWESOME!
I hope they keep it in the final game :O
Tautime don't it would be true space game without warp jumping
xingx355 Why can't this be possible with the futuristic tech in the game?
Who said that it was?

This ship looks very reminiscent of Serenity from Firefly. =D Got the Firefly vibe from the trailer too.
***** And it's more capable of putting a hole in this tiny moon...
Hiraghm But is it like a leaf on the wind?
+Taonas Check out one of the Carrack. It also gives off a major firefly vibe.
+Brian Ingram Reclaimer reminds me the most. That one seems visually like a bridge between Serenity and the salvaging ship from EVE Online.
+Flogo 2606 Indeed. :)
Damnit, I guess the Alliance pensioned Admiral Hackett off after the war so he is having to do voice overs in ship adverts.
Hackett out
More commercials, these are cool.
The Constellation commercial is next. :D
ExoSuitVII
Is it? :o How do you know?
Hanfgurkenhasser They mentioned it at some point, and it wasn't in the vote for 'What ship commercial should we focus on next?' that was yesterday. It's also the next most complete ship aside from scythe, avenger, and cutlass.
Plus constellation variants are going to be close in about a month.
To back you up, I remember it winning one of the last poll's for what to work on next, so it should be coming.
ExoSuitVII IT IS?! Can you confirm that with a linK? I really hope you're telling the truth!
That's beautiful. I might not enjoy the look of the ship but it sure is capable.
Function > Form
I'll take my boob-faced, bug-necked, lumpy Freelancer MIS over anything Origin makes any day.
Ryxtan Take that back! Origin could best anything you got!
Ryxtan Form < Function* if you're talking about the Freelancer being superior.
***** WOOPS. Thanks, fixed it. I'm a little tired...
MrHepnerd7
LMAO HAHAHAAHAHHAA LOL
Rule #1. Know the ship before you attack it
Rule #2. Do not park your ships right next to your target's guns!
Sigh...
But then how do you make a good commercial for an internet spaceship?!

It's supposed to be a parody of American pickup truck commercials.
***** I'm talking about how when the ship jumped
The Freelancer is an homage to the Serenity, so this commercial combines a bit of Firefly with a bit of Truck commercial.
I think it came out rather well on both fronts :D
Yeah, I saw this is thought it was a beautiful hybrid of Firefly and Ford.
Awesome... Got the Max!
Sold the Max now got the MIS....
geekdomo why sell max?
geekdomo whaaat! whyyy
i was going to say "for space truckin!" but he sold it . . . .
Exchanged my Conni for Store credits and got a DUR and a MAX upgrade, have to wait a little 'til I've got enough monah again to get the base lancer for the upgrade xD
I keep watching it. This represents everything I want this game to feel like.
10 years later and none of this is even close
This was just GLORIOUS! It reeked of pure manliness and trucker mentality! I love it! Gave me goosebumbs! :D
You can't take the sky from me...
star citizens got immersive written all over it
Holy SHit!! Admiral Hackett's voice!
joseph negranza ADMIRAL HACKETT U NO

awesome
+sootheater thank God, because why else am I going to survive that long?
Its the last true wild west tbh
Man, this was AWESOME! I'm glad I bought this ship!
You still glad?
Reminds me of Firefly... Maybe just the music tho
cookiessprite Nod is expressing it kinda friendly ;)
d3rrial No kidding...though Serenity didn't have a pair of huge laser cannon turrets :D
Synthmilk Well, it shoulda :p
Synthmilk so many problems in Firefly could have been resolved if the Serenity had big-ass particle cannons all over it
Really want to get this ship because of that and it's purpose but its only a 2 crew ship if I'm right. An really looking for a 4-5 man ship that has a small tight cockpit unlike the connie. That ship has a way too open feeling interior.
Please may we have all these features including the stairs up the front landing gear? I would have one of these as my main daily driver if that VTOL worked and the turrets... oh those turrets... Magic in this commercial but the final product is a pale expression of the same ideas...
I want this actor to narrate my life.
Firefly anyone ?
Yeah, very similar ship ^^
Got a job? He'll do it. Don't much care what it is.
Even the music feels like an homage to Firefly's western guitar.
If I wasn't broke, I would buy this ship just to name it Serenity
Pls dun make me cry!!!!
What I would give to hear this trailer's narration in Nathan Fillion or Alan Tudyk's voice.
Also chee006 don't cry. just keep flying. like a leaf on the wind... and watch yourself soar
It's Star Citizen's equivalent if a Firefly. Pivoting engines, ramp door, two pilot seats, cargo ship and just awesome.
BISHOP!!!! That has to be Lance Henriksen's voice!
I was thinking Henriksen or Ironside.
JACOBDDIXON13 Definitely not Ironside, I was thinking Lance Henriksen or Peter Cullen... but I'm leaning toward Henriksen.

There's no possible way that isn't Lance Henriksen. I've watched the movie Aliens way too many times to be wrong about this.

THANK YOU SO MUCH RSI!! i have been waiting for more ship commercials. 10/10 keep them coming.
These commercials add such a cool touch to the game!! It gives background and life to all of these ships!
Constellation is the class of my ship, and I will feel lot safer when I m carrying my cargo on a RSI ship instead of a MISC ship.
Kaan Tecdelioğlu agreed
Chevy is better than Dodge any day!... Wait, what were we talking about?
That is ehy i have a constellation instead of a freelancer, but this comercial was awesome!!!!!
***** It might be a bit difficult to force players to be crew members. I think everyone would like to have a ship instead being forced to recieve commands from another human being.^^
Xerkrosis That's why you get NPC's
So tempting... though it'll be all the more rewarding to earn it in-game.
Love how you guys expand the universe like this!
Just bought this today. Commercial done right.
I gotta say aye, I have flown quite a few ships in SC now. This is by far my farourite ship. Its just so reliable, efficient, and easy to fly.
These commericals give me reason to desire a life span long enough to see this in reality.
Is that Lance Henrikson narrating the commercial?
Yes! I wasn't the only one that noticed!
Misc Freelancer Herikson
Well, he's had a secret passion for selling cars.
The Firefly
Aim to misbehave brother.
Serenity was 63 meter long :)
Freelancer is around 35 meter long
More like the Connie being the Firefly. But a bit too long as well. Maybe something from the Origin 500 Series if they can transport Cargo, but thinking about it, this gallery in the hangar of the connie really looks like the serenity.
The entire commercial reminds me of a mixture of Ford, Chevy, and Dodge commercials, minus Will Ferrell.
Haters : "Star Citizen will be ugly until the release." Just look at this and compare it with actual videos, what a big progress !
dont know why this was recommended to me again after 7 years but i still love it
Hold on... let me watch this again, for the 15th time
Star Citizen: The Future of Car Buying
Holy shit, when did Admiral Hackett start doing voiceover jobs?
All these commercials are extremely well done
This comercial should win somekind of award. It's so WELL DONE.

+10 on this one. "Built for life..."
Like if you own an LTI Freelancer!
=)
Love these commercials gives me the warm feeling in my body.
Really enjoy the commercials! Excellent way to showcase the game universe a bit
I came from future (2021), the game still alpha :OOOO
Retired Admiral Hackett in his space truck.
i cant believe i never noticed this until now. its has a bumper sticker that says "MOTHER TRUCKER"
also, im pretty sure this is a Freelancer MAX. look at the shape of the rear hatch, the shape of the nose of the ship, ths shape of the controls in his hands, the flaps on the engines, and the stairs on the front landing gear.
This is the old 'gen 1' version of the 'lancer. Eventually the other versions will be rebuilt using the new hull. Also, the Max has two engines in the nacelles, this has 1.
no it's not - the max has 4 engines and a much wider cargo bay.
+Robert Schumacher so do no freelancers have the front stair case, bread shaped cargo ramp, or pilot controls shaped that way anymore? because as a (temporary) owner of a standard freelancer, i know it doesnt
+Robert Schumacher I meant to target my post toward the OP, not you. Sorry
As of 9/1/16, the only revamped and flyable Freelancer is the basic model. The DUR, MAX, and MIS can only be seen in the hangar, and still use the 'gen 1' hull. Consider them placeholders until CIG can free up the manpower to do the remodelling and/or add in the content to make them useful in their roles. Also if you have one of the variants, you receive access to a basic Freelancer for use in the test universe.
Fantastic work! I'm proud to own this ship!
Why does this trailer always give me a tear it's fking 2020!!!!

for the life of me i can't remeber where is that from, i have heard it a lot and still can't remember :( someone pls enlighten me
***** Mass Effect.
Rovert30 ohh, thx, much appreciated
Im glad you exist. That made me chuckle
who else saw the Mother Truckers bumper sticker?
The Ford F150 of Star Citizen.
I like the car/truck commercial themes of these ships. Very fitting and creative idea.
CIG. Has to implement THOSE sound effects, omg that sfx is soooo amazing:D!
I want that Freelancer because it reminds me of the Millenium Falcon.
I have never seen a game with so much talented and creative artists, the ship designs are over the top amazing, not to forget to mention space and stations and so on. You will probably hear this a lot from others, I have been playing eve for over 8 years and many of the ships are so so ugly, but I love that game a lot. However, the more I watch video's of Star Citizen, I really think this Star Citizen has a whole lot of promise and definite awards will be in its future. That is the pro's, the con's is that I am probably going to be spending way to much money on this game because the designs and options available just right now are must have items. Just imagine when it gets going. I have decided to pledge. I would have earlier but didn't find out about this until just a few days ago, from other players on Eve Online talking about it lol. The video's are breathtaking. I hope that space is vast to the point where people can actually get lost and actually explore and do scientific stuff, such as research or constructive things, build things. To get lost if they so desire to, unlike eve and other games, where other people are always up your butt in numbers. You just can't go anywhere where no man has gone before, there are already way too many people there when you get there and ready to gang you. A solo type person has no chance. I like pvp and working with other people, but I don't like the fact that you have to put up with a lot of new generation asshats in games with no morals or respect for others, that think their way is the only way and treat everyone else like they are dumb, especially new people to game. So that's just the way its going to be, with those things in mind, its important for people in games to have the option to work with a group or corporation or such or also have the option to solo if they so choose. The police in eve, called concord, are a joke, they are overrun by huge player corps that own the game now and most gates are overcamped, so a solo player does not have a chance. Some may disagree but I think there should be options for all types of players. Not everyone once constant action of dog fighting and dying, some are constructive, and that's why EVE has that amazing market with blueprints and industry for building things. Just from looking at Start Citizen the last few days, I really feel like this game is going to be, like I said, over the top. It is going to be hard for other sci-fi games to compete with this game. I plan to be there :) Thanks for sharing the video and I hope everyone has, pardon the pun, a blast!
Can you buy ships with gamemoney? I mean, if you have the aurora but saw the epic freelancer, can you buy it in the game without real money?
@Samsi13 Yes. once the game goes live most certainly. Pledging now for all types of models are meant as pledges to better the development. You can enjoy the full game with the cheapest game package. The aurora indeed. This also included the solo campaign sq42 for those who backed before februari i recall. There will be a discounted price for the solo campaign if you bought a Star Citizen package after this deadline. So for about 40 dollars for the cheapest package and about 16/20? dollars for the solo campaign you needn't spent another dime. Presumably when the persistent universe alpha improves, at a certain point shipyards will be included where you can spent your ingame aUEC (alpha UEC) which you earned by doing missions, trade runs etc.
As of right now you can earn aUEC in game by a couple of ways. ICC probe missions, Covalex shipping hub P.I. mission, fixing com sats and killing the ultimate badass in the server. This currency can be expended in the in game shops for better guns, armour, clothes, fuel, repair costs. every alpha update this will be wiped to test balancing etc. once the game goes live there will be UEC and everything you want to buy you can in game. Chris Roberts stated that he wants to introduce the Pay for convenience instead of pay to win. You WILL be able to buy UEC with real dollars/euros etc if you have more money than time. This will be capped by a daily amount and once your virtual bank account exceeds a certain balance you wouldnt be able to buy more uec. Also some special items can only be obtained by playing the game. so just the other way around from pay to win.
These ships are cool and all, but I hope they are working on the actual game mechanics as well. But I guess they need to keep marketing and making ships that people can buy to ensure Star Citizen doesn't run out of money. With all the promises they have made by now, this game should be the most awesome space game ever.
Knowing the track record of the guy behind it, it WILL be the most awesome space game ever made.
ninja1818 Believe it or not, when your running a developing company and developing a huge game with this kind of scope and tech involved and outsourcing other companies to do work such as Artificial Intelligence for the game,and many other factors such as paying your people, facility maintenance/upkeep/purchase, etc. $48 million isn't actually THAT much when u factor in all the costs.
Droplifter A game artist's salary is usually around 100 grand a year. Given that there are 400 people working on it, it really isn't that much.
Droplifter MW2 also doesn't have 400 developers, and Infinity Ward isn't exactly an indie studio.
Big publisher titles like that also will roll the marketing costs into the "Production budget" to pad the numbers and build hype. It's like how you can have hugely famous movies that on the books show a loss. Look up "Hollywood accounting" on Wikipedia for some of the more egregious examples. I know for sure that every damn ad I saw on TH-cam was for TitanFall the month prior and the month after release. Every. Damn. Ad. Someone has to be paying for that hype machine running full-tilt.
Purchased right now .... frickin Serenity wibes... best ship ever build. (ninja cutting onions) .........RIP Firefly.
I watched the awesome jump effect four times. :) Top-notch work!
OOo that''s a really nice commercial. I love the way they did it from the pilots point of view, rather than from a showroom pov. And the jump graphics... oooeeee really nice. Hope I don''t blow up on my first jump lol.
THAT JUMP
OH MY GOD
I love how this is basically a Ford commercial...
"Built for life."
Even the song reminds me of the firefly show. so happy to have this ship
Best sound design I've heard in a while. I'm impressed RSI. I hope this is a taste of what's to come.
Dat space truck commercial!
Impressive approach to advertising in-game items. I wonder how many people don't realize this is in-game footage. No web lies in the multimedia from greedy publishers around here.
I wonder how many people don't realise that in engine footage does not mean real time footage.
DesignVisStudios Well, here's what Chris Roberts (head of development) said back when the Hornet commercial was aired:
"It's rendered 100 per cent in-engine in real-time at 4K resolution. We scale everything for the super high resolutions that will be the basis of tomorrow's gaming experience; our assets are designed with high polycounts instead of having details baked into their textures. That's a big part of why Nvidia and AMD have been demoing Star Citizen at 4K!"

Espen Moe Good quoting. I can see high polycounts and 4k res. At this early stage it's great and I don't see why people are making attempts at putting this game down. It's totally futile. Maybe they can't comprehend a team of developers settling for nothing but the very best! Hard to swallow maybe huh?!
Ryan is right. A lot of people are going to think there is a big difference between this commercial and game-play. a) because this commercial looks so good b) because that is what they are used to. It comes down to a target audience which is used to false advertising. Sure the disclaimers are usually displayed "This is not actually..." but that is still a problem we're just putting up with.
How many fucking years have we put up with advertising for games by publishers and developers afraid to show us exactly what experience they created for the average consumer? Too bloody long and Chris Roberts doesn't need to demand such marketing tactics from his team. They are just offering it up on a plate as it is and I'm a fat bastard because I'm feeding on it.
DesignVisStudios Have you played the alpha? Assuming your computer can run it, you get this level of graphics. It's in-game, real time.
DesignVisStudios everything in game engine is also real time.
Holy shit i just realized whos narrating this trailer, is that Lance Henriksen?!
commonly known as admiral hackett
Kal'Geelas vas Rayya nar Qwib Qwib and Bishop, from Aliens
Troop3r666 mind=blown
seb sm would've been funnier if they got Dennis Leary to do it
Sure, you can't see out your windows much, but you don't HAVE to. Srsly I love my DUR so much. It's such a great ship and it's totally the Firefly-fan ship. It's got that round aesthetic and the commercial totally vibes that. Best ship! Can't wait until the exploration is in.
The acoustic guitar reminds me of Firefly and the commercial type setting reminds me of the space race Stargate episode. It would be cool to see commercials like this in the actual game for deep immersion. Great job.
Best commercial in gaming history
This is the ship of my dreams.... if the game ever releases though.
this video is why I decided to pledge to Star Citizen in 2014...Browncoats forever!
3.0 coming soon, what happened in this vid will become a reality :D
That jump is just beautiful, hope it looks and sounds like that in the final iteration.
I have to watch this again and again because it's so awesome!
I think I just shit myself. Dat jump animation...
I came from the sexiness
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.
Leave the men where they lay
They'll never see another day
Lost my soul, lost my dream
You can't take the sky from me.
I feel the black reaching out
I hear its song without a doubt
I still hear and I still see
That you can't take the sky from me.
Lost my love, lost my land
Lost the last place I could stand
There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity
Yo CIG can we have these types of QT effects?
LANCE !!!!!
Oh my god. That voice! He already read the timelines in Star Wars: The Old Republic. He is Admiral Hacket. He is Bishop. He has one of the most iconic voices in the buiseness! I can´t stop grinning. He is my idol.
I can't be 100% sure without a proper credits screen, but I'm pretty damn sure that's Lance Henriksen doing the VO work. And if it is, CR wasn't blowing smoke when he said they were hiring more and better VO actors in the future. Kudos and awesome advert.
It is Lance Henriksen.
One of their best commercials sofar.
Will be interesting if they release a commercial for the Redeemer, not that it's needed tho.
Why doesn't the warp effect look like that in game?
It's like a space Ford.
AHHHH they need to update some of these commercials. Some of the older styles had some cool stuff.
See how the game design change ? That’s amazing
