One package/ship is all thats needed. When the persistent universe starts, you make your own way.

Right now, they're allowing everyone to fly ALL "flyable" ships so people can determine what/how they want to go about the universe. Explorers, miners, spies, pirates, security, medical ships, all kinds of shit.

Some of the bigger ships require crewmen to manage turrents, science stations, etc depending on the function of the ship. If you don't have buddies you have to hire AI.

Its still early, some ships are still for sale, as concept ships make it to Hangar ready, they re-release for a few days to let late backers pick them up.

Closer to launch, the ship store will close and you gonna have to earn it in-game.

Price to play at launch is slated to be much more because of the total accumilated value of the game. Least I think thats wut I read somewhere.

I am registered now. It's ship decision time. I hope my crappy Saitek joystick is good enough.

Shweeet!

F'n download speed sucks right now though, headsup! 25gigs. I'm re-installing right now, 6hrs left cuz my interweb connection is at 916kB/s currently.
They're in the process of re-vising the launcher so we don't have to deal with these long downloads.

i have wanted to try starcitizen, i just got an x52 pro to play with in warthunder which i find pretty mediocre.

[Kal-EL]

Warthunder or the X52?

Titan X will be here on Tues. Waiting for XSPC to come out with a water block now. EK has one, but I like the XSPC multi tube inlet/outlet options way better.

Nice, Titan X's for everyone .......

I'm shoppin around for blocks myself. 4 cards mashed together will get hot fast. Lemme know wut you end up going with G.

Was actually considering a bunch of universal blocks so they can be recycled from gen to gen. Haven't nailed anything down yet.

[GFDuke]

Yea, the problem with universal blocks is they only cool the gpu. You would have to find a cooling solution for the mems. I don't think i'll get another gaming card after this for a while. I'll probably go with the EK block, because I don't see this card sitting around waiting for XSPC to develop one. I want to use it. lol
