Hello there.

Saw this game just recently a week ago or so and eventuelly ended up here. This game looks very promising and I hope it will turn out well. I figured I should just say hi and since I have a few questions I thought I could ask them here:

  1. I haven't pledged anything yet on the Star Citizen website. If I do, will I get to play the pre-alpha/alpha version as they showed on Citizencon a while back or is that just for backers in the original kickstarter?
  2. I would really like to join the Imperium "clan" you have here, but I have a few questions about how it would work. I guess this really only applies when the game eventually launches in a few years, but it doesn't hurt to know now. I would like to be some sort of adventurer/trader/organizer of some sort. As in, organize trade and industry. However, I would also like to fight as that looks very cool. Is it possible to have multiple positions in the "clan", where I have one ship for each?
  3. How are you organized? I assume this "clan" is supposed to own a huge section of the universe and control it, but that requires multiple suborganizations for military etc. Is this figured out already or will it come eventually?

 

That's it for now. I am pretty busy IRL with school and stuff so I will not be extremly active, but I will follow the progress of the game since I am really looking forward to it. If have more questions I guess I will ask them eventually.

See you around!

Hello hello!  I'm sure others will chime in with answers to your questions, but I'll give them a shot.

1.  CIG removed the 'alpha' and 'beta' access perks from all of the packages.  This means that older backers no longer have any special perks, and that new backers will have access to everything!  They've also removed the need to purchase 'module passes' which used to be a $5 ticket allowing you access to certain things.  All of these extra things were converted into in-game UEC, the game's monetary system.  So bottom line, you'll get everything once it comes out.

2.  For Imperium you are basically allowed to do as you please if you're playing solo or in a small group.  If you wish to participate in Imperium missions through the mission-system they're constructing for the organization, you'll need certifications that they'll offer through the Imperium Academy.

3.  Imperium is organized under a series of Officers who manage the three main Imperium divisions (Military, Trade & Industry and Exploration) but there are a number of additional groups for diplomacy, media and human resources.  The officers are supported by specialists in each of these fields.  Beyond that, there isn't a military-style rank structure in Imperium, at least not for now.  

And finally let me say that we're honored you've come to us to ask questions!

Welcome.

Seems like pretty much all your questions got answered. Though I have to add the complete list of all current divisions is the following:

  • Military 
  • Trade & Industry 
  • Exploration 
  • Operations 
  • Diplomacy 
  • Human Resources 
  • Academy 
  • Media 
  • Technology 
  • Intelligence 

From what I've got there are no "main" divisions. But well, everyone tells me something else. I just stick with the manual.

Also:

 

2.  For Imperium you are basically allowed to do as you please if you're playing solo or in a small group.

It's self-explaining that "do as you please" means "do as you please within the guidelines/rules/CoC of Imperium".

Thanks for the warm welcome and the answers to my questions! Are you guys active in the game right now, with the version that is available or are you waiting for a better version? And do you have any recommendations on what game pack to buy, that include as much as possible (the game + Squadron 42 etc)? I would rather not spend money on ships because I don't like "pay to win", even though I get that you support the company.

I guess that would be the cheapest one: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Packages/Squadron-42-Preorder
Since alpha/beta access are no longer a thing you've got pretty much everything you need with that. Btw SQ42 is included in every game package.

Also, you could spend even 5000k€ and you wouldn't be called pay2win player (it would be pay to skip some time at best). Everything is obtainable through playing.
