Star Citizen Game Setting

Break new ground in an exciting new cosmic epic - Legendary game designer Chris Roberts Simply put, Star Citizen is: An epic space adventure in a rich universe underneath, trading and first person combat. Single player - offline or online (join, exit co-op mode) Continuous universe (understandably infinite universe size, currently only US will have it) Mod-enabled multiplayer (player-built servers) No subscription fees (no monthly fees, etc.) No attribute prop charges " "Reports of my (space simulation game) death are really overstated" Traditional publishers don't recognize PC and space simulation games, and venture capitalists are only willing to provide startup capital for mobile or social games.　　We say they're wrong; we think there are tons of PC gamers out there who want sophisticated games on their platforms. A sizable group of these gamers are particularly passionate about the space genre, and would be more than willing to play a new high-quality space game if one came along.　　Don't ask what your favorite type of game can do for you, ask what you can do for your favorite game!　　Let's try to push for a resurgence of high-end PC gaming and universe simulation games!　　Star Citizen presents new generations of gamers with the sensory experience of pilots traveling through a vast universe and engaging in interstellar combat in an extremely realistic, never-before-seen way. The core structure is that Star Citizen is an end point, not a pass-and-fail story line; it establishes an entire universe that allows players to venture out at will and determine their own gameplay experience.　　Players can choose to be a smuggler, a pirate, a guard or a bounty hunter, or they can enlist in the military to defend their territory from outside threats. Chris Roberts has always wanted to create a cohesive universe that combines everything that makes Wing Commander, Privateer or Free Ranger special. A massive sandbox system, complex, with tons of knowledge that allows players to play at any scale they want; that's Star Citizen.

Why it's worth your while A huge universe to explore, trade and adventure The universe has no end, and neither do your opportunities. Boldly move forward to create your destiny among the stars, or sign up for a trip to the UEE fleet. A Universe That's Always Expanding and Evolving We're committed to making Star Citizen a living, breathing, autonomous universe. There will always be new locations for players to explore. Miniaturized Upgrade Strategy We're not interested in big upgrades once a year or anything like that. Once the game is live, we'll have a dedicated team adding new content to the game on a weekly, or bi-weekly basis. We'll keep adding inputs, stories and missions, and make adjustments in response to player demand and dynamics. Squadron 42 - a Wing Commander type standalone mode that offers offline play Play offline or online and fight alongside your friends as you join the UEE fleet on a working tour, dispatching the front lines and protecting the colonies from Vanduul forces. The fight is always on If you excel in battle, you may be invited to join the legendary 42nd Squadron; similar to the French Foreign Legion, they are always on missions in the most dangerous zones, and no matter what, they always manage to come back in the nick of time. The Battle Never Ends At the end of your journey, you'll earn some credits and re-enter the ongoing (eternal or indestructible) Star Citizen universe, and your Citizenship can open the way for you. However, in the Star Citizen universe, when one conflict ends, another is already stirring. As an add-on campaign to the update program, you'll have the opportunity to spend more time with your squadron members. The player's actions affect the entire universe and become its history and lore.　　The universe changes in response to player actions, and adventures can make them part of the universe's history. For example, players can scan for gravity anomalies in space. If the player finds one and successfully navigates to the mysterious jump point, they can sell a record of the flight path of the jump from their navigational computer to a space company at a high price for other users to download. But the real prize is having the galaxy or jump point named after them. Allowing User Generated Content (UGC, MODs) is a key design goal Our development toolkit allows players to design new ships for the ongoing RSI ship trading network or even custom ships and items for unofficial multiplayer modes. It's all about the gameplay experience and interaction with others We plan to add a lot of social elements to this universe. Since this universe is full of variables, this will create sectors or forces. For example, giving up the rights of citizenship and surviving outside the protection of Earth is also a perfectly viable option. We anticipate that there will be players who will be attracted to criminal activity, or who will help enforce the law, or who will defend the galaxy from alien invaders, or who will seek to enrich themselves as much as they can. We want to encompass all of these social elements A fully dynamic economy driven by player action If too many people ship iron ore to the smelter in New Pittsburgh, the price of steel goes down. Buy low, sell high you know (?). . The Price of Society Trade in the game's galaxy of civilizations Landing and having to pay trade tariffs in exchange for law and order. Want bigger profits? Try the Outlands - far beyond the infrastructure and protection of Earth. The downside is that there is no army or local police force to protect you from opportunistic pirate attacks. Money isn't everything You can be a merchant, miner or industrial magnate. Amass a great fortune or just complete enough missions for a comfortable life and ship upgrades. Space is empty but you're never alone If you're caught alone in an online ambush, send a distress signal to your friends and if they're nearby they can jump into the galaxy to rescue you. In each battle, player slots are reserved for your friends so you can rally forces to back you up in battle. Bigger ships offer richer multiplayer action If you have a bigger ship, your friends can join in to man the turrets, fix the systems, or pilot for you. Imagine the Millennium Falcon piloted by Han Solo with Luke in charge of the turret (- from Star Wars) Accurate simulation of all spaceships You want perfect Newtonian mechanics? This one has to have it! Spaceships can regulate orbit and direction just like in the real world. Intelligent Flight Control System Just like today's F-35s, these spaceships receive inputs from the player via in-line control, which is translated and sent to the engines and thrusters for the exact amount of propulsion needed to fulfill the player's requirements. Spaceship Dynamic Maneuverability The behavior of the spaceship is precisely calculated using a variety of physical variables, and the spaceship is able to send propulsion to a certain vector based on your needs. What does this mean? Countless combinations of component damage possibilities will have different effects on the ship's maneuverability - resulting in countless combat strategies and outcomes. Vital components of the airship!　　Due to our complete simulation of physics and flight dynamics, various components will have their own different and important roles! If a hatch thruster breaks, there will be a systematic effect on the ship's maneuverability. If you upgrade the balance and propulsion of the thrusters it will result in different game play. Throw in a cargo bay and your turning style will be maximized in a dogfight. The detail is ten times that of current AAA games!　　Most of the so-called "AAA" games on the market today only have about 10,000 polygons for character models and 30,000 polygons for vehicles. In Star Citizen, character models will have 100,000 polygons, fighters will have 300,000 polygons, and starships will have 7 million polygons! This level of detail is unparalleled, and the visual experience in the game will be unprecedented! All the ships you can see in the game and even the devices on them will be immaculately clear Each ship is made up of more than 100 components, and most of them operate with the same clarity as in reality! If a component is damaged in battle, you will feel the side effects of it. Unprecedented level of visibility in the history of gaming Everything from a kilometer-long transport to a 27-meter fighter jet, or even your 1.8-meter-tall pilot, is rendered to the same level. Zoom in on the panels of a transport ship and you'll see that its texture detail is identical to that of a 27-meter fighter jet. All this without loading through or losing any visual precision. You really get a sense of the scale of space battles and ships.　　Because the game has the ability to seamlessly scale, you can watch the battle from the bridge window or jump into the cockpit to fight the enemy directly. Joysticks, joysticks, mice and keyboards are all supported.　　We've all made our choices, so why be forced to choose? PREMIUM PERIPHERAL SUPPORT As part of our commitment to high-end gaming adherence, we are committed to supporting more exotic gaming enthusiasts with devices such as dual-stick joysticks, flying chairs, and rudder pedals. These are all about immersion. As long as you have the equipment, we can support it. Virtual Reality is where it's at, and we've pre-ordered the Oculus Rift and will be supporting him at Star Citizen /42 Squadron. Who doesn't want to sit in the cockpit, hands on the joystick and throttle, head spinning, tracking leaky enemy fighters? NEXT GENERATION, TODAY Based on Crytek's best-in-class CryEngine Generation 3 technology, Star Citizen's engine is the standard by which computers of today and tomorrow are measured. The computer game fanatic's friend!　　When you upgrade your computer, Star Citizen will utilize your extra processor cores, memory or graphics processor. That's why you're a computer gamer ---- you're passionate about pioneering, not wallowing in the past.
