Been holding off on the starter package buy? Not particularly better off, lazy or just down right 'cheap'. Now is the time.

With this code - "GAMESCOM2015" you're able to download Arena Commander and see what all the fuss is about.
link - Down the Bottom.

Take note of a few things if you do. Arena Commander is in Alpha and is a crumb of the final game. These crumbs refereed to as 'modules' show the direction of the game they're building. So unrelated are these modules from the final product that the game will be a different experience altogether. It's hard to wrap your head around it but the scope of this game is why it has attracted all the egg heads. It's one of the reasons why its tipped to be the most ambitious game yet.

What is Star Citizen?
Dubbed a "First Person Universe" by a growing number in the company. Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) wants the player to make their way in the most engaging and detailed space sim in development. Going beyond the confines of its promised single player space epic - Squadron 42. This project sets its sights on creating a new life where the player may engage in a myriad of profession and experiences. All at a time when man holds dominion over the stars.

A living, breathing universe bursting with vitality. Challenging even Bioware's crown. You may think it to be safe but all things give way to determination. The man who started it all, Chris Roberts. Is determined to see his dream realised to say nothing of the company's passion for the project. It is for this reason that they'll succeed. But the completion of this mammoth task cannot be a race.

It'll never release!

The development has its detractors. They claim that development is 'too slow' and believe it to herald a bad omen. Consider the disappointment when a game company hasn't taken the time to develop your most anticipated game. Day one, debilitating issues saw Rocksteady's - Arkham Knight in the grips of its own asylum. A whirlwind of backlash as top hardware choked under the weight of its premature release. The situation was so dire that even Nvidia offered help. The game was pulled from sale and relaunched much improved but the damage was needless and quite preventable.

The take away here? Take your time.

We've not begun to scratch the surface. Use "GAMESCOM2015" and redeem your chance to glimpse a modern virtual marvel in the making. As the project rolls along in defiance of fickle criticism while adhering to its pledge. You'll come to see Star Citizen as the beginning of a new era in professional games development.

New Beginnings with a Gaming Focus

Fellow Vanguardians!

Following the member base meeting on TeamSpeak, my prevailing impression is one of opportunity taken and opinions voiced in the most democratic of fashions. There are many clans out there who hold the collective thought of its members dear, but it can absolutely not surpass or compare with our most glorious, inexhaustible, irrepressible and exuberant Vanguard Command.

You have asked the Council of Vanguard Command to look at our current organisational structure and the way in which we portray ourselves as a community. Given your considerable input, we have justified the strong and unusual measures which we thought it necessary to take. No longer do we see ourselves as the successor to the United Federation of Planets [UFP] or Federation Command [FC], with its rigorous divisions, departments and structure, but instead we now pursue a path of gaming-fellowship.

It's therefore that we have simplified our structure. The Senate and Vice-Presidency will be abolished, the ranking-tier will consist of regular members, commanders of departments whom together form a supreme executive and directorial assembly and a president who will serve as the first among equals. Furthermore, the Office of Propaganda and the Department of Diplomacy will be merged.

It’s henceforth that we shall be a community of absolute gamers. We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither this sudden shock of change, nor the long road ahead will wear us down, because in the end we shall cheerfully and confidently take on these changes, thinking only of the enjoyment of gaming and our vital needs in life. Give us a game, and we will play!

Onwards and upwards!

Pick a cardinal point and all is quiet on the Excalibur front.

We've all toyed with the idea by now that development is in limbo. We've made peace with any impeding announcement of its end and so doing we put to rest any hope - but the box snaps shut just in time and we're treated to a resurgence!

Explosions in Star Citizen

Explosions in Star Citizen

Star Citizen to feature dynamic explosions.

The gotcha moment - Another opponent engulfed in an explosion of firework's that puts form to your exultation. Those few seconds of delight won't last and you're wanting more so assuming an encore will do you set off to find yourself another victim.

The assumption is understandable. A repeat of the same might scratch an itch but the real payoff never comes. One more opponent isn't enough but a better display with just a pinch of legitimacy for that extra helping of satisfaction will do.

Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 & Squadron 42 stole the show at CitizenCon 2015 with a two hour live stream showing off Foundry 42's progress for the single player space epic and a demo of Star Citizen Alpha 2.0

Fly Free Promotion till 25th October 2015 - Details Below

Squadron 42:
Star Citizen won't happen for a while yet and for good reason - It wasn't first. Squadron 42 was at the top of the list with succeeding stretch goals building to an expansion of it to the MMO universe we're all familiar - Star Citizen. The single player epic has undergone development since the beginning and has only just finished three movie lengths worth of dialogue via motion capture at Imaginarium studios in the UK. In it we see Gary Oldman and Mark Strong take centre stage in Squadron 42 assuring the bar for quality during the single player campaign is met.

The New Star Citizen trailer for Alpha 2.0

Star Citizens development is often complimented by lengthy design documents, written by producers and their staff and usually on a monthly release. Videos sourced from studios around the world, with introductions to new employees, content updates, bug fixing; Interviews with key personnel in a general style but also in the flavour of a Ten for the xxxxx segment, with either Chris Roberts, familiar producers, writers and a panel of senior designers, answering ten questions from the community. Formal and informal interviews with Youtube personalities and the team itself, reddit AMA's, as well as convention appearances all over world. On and on, a stream of information to keep us well informed.

Star Citizen is not without it's critics. Enter Derek Smart, of 3000AD. A cynic, Derek Smart would have you buy into the idea that it's all a big con and that Star Citizen is a mirage, which affords him a neat segway to peddle his own product, of which he does. His twitter is all a flutter with suggestions of funds mismanagement, citing the affluence in the lifestyle of Chris Roberts as an indication that he and his wife - Sandi Gardner (VP of Marketing for Star Citizen), are both rorting the pledges.

However, both are educated and have provided for themselves through savvy investments, amongst other things. The Roberts may not be living like Saudi princes but nor are they on struggle street, they've got on with their lives.
How anyone could read into that, and from it, mangle and conjure up a fraud is beyond the pale. Derek Smart, holder of two PhD's fished from a weeties packet, who's current game, as he would have you believe, competes with Star Citizen; Is no stranger to a cloud around his own crown, making what you could loosely refer to as 'games' for over a decade with notorious over promising and under delivering. You probably haven't played them, and i'll leave it to you to decide if you'd like to put money down for his latest... accomplishment.

Line of Defense. Star Citizen's competition.


Star Citizen may well be a waiting game, but perhaps, well worth the wait.
