I'm pumped. I'm thinking I'll still wait until they move to releasing patches.
Really cool, except there are missions where you don't actually earn anything?
yesHas it released for all backers now?
Does this run better than the old version? Game ran very poorly on my system although I did upgrade my RAM. Running a 760 with now 24 gb of RAM.
Edit: I think their must be something weird going on cause this dude is getting 60fps on what is essentially my card

Finally, you can head over to the website and register now and play for free until the 14th, I believe, so go give it a shot if you're curious!

Yup, I'll edit to make that clear.
Awesome news!
I also joined the Neo Galactic Advancement Foundation(NeoGAF) Star Citizen group.
Please approve me, thanks!

24gigs of RAM? I think that would be excessive...16gigs and an 256 SSD should do the trick.... =P
"What do I need to play?"
There's currently a "free flight" free trial going on until Dec 14th. Newly registered accounts can try the game out with three of the starter ships.

Basic game packages are $45 and have recently been on sale for $30, so keep an eye out for upcoming sales.

I was confused at not seeing an OS X purchase option, as I could've sworn OS X support was part of the KS stretch goals, but apparently not (in part due to the Crytek engine). Then I looked up the potential for that and apparently Roberts made some disparaging remarks about OS X as a platform, so oooookay, guess I'll be playing Elite then.

As mentioned above, I will also prob run my computer overnight to download this update.
Last time I flew my ship I failed vertical take off and was just hovering around the flight deck.
I personally do not remember any considerations regarding OSX (open GL on OSX is terrible from what devs say). Rather linux was defniitely a stretch goal.

Framerate is nice and chunky even with a 980Ti at 1440P, although of course you'd expect that given the state. Scared to leave the space station, lol. Is there a more detailed description of the graphics presets somewhere? Have it at very high right now.

Just a heads up but the performance issue is for the most part server side. I wouldn't worry to much right now about trying to get your graphics presets right, just wait until they fix it or hope to hop into a server with less players which tend to have a better FPS. If you do find one of those servers that would be a better time to fiddle with your settings.

Is the old thread going to get locked?
Does that free fly promotion until the 14th apply to 2.0? Would be nice to have friends along for the ride instead of playing the other disjointed modes.

Noice, i'm going to use this if anyone ever asks what can you do in the game. (or if they try to say you can't do anything, and it's vaporware)For people who haven't been following the game, this post from RSI is a nice overview of the features that are currently available and what's coming up.

i wished that's what revel and york's look and feel was like, instead of being gaudy and tacky.
Yes, they aren't doing separate module access like that any more, so they should be able to get into everything. To play together, you'd hit F11 in game to bring up the contacts menu, add each other and then right click to use the party system. (I haven't tried that out yet)
Yeah. It isn't for us plebs. That is probably coming in 2.1, which is why they announced it as more soon™
Anybody know a early whale?
Lol, some dude was talking about sleeping in someone's avenger and I wasn't thinking about it and all of a sudden I see some dude on top of my ship go flying off into the abyss.
How do I get to the FPS station?
