is a form of donation/thank you system for people which wish to futher support the game.
you can get those ship ingame with ingame curency (-lti) when it launch.
debatable, they got enough funds already to develop the game fully, so they don't need to do those sales anymore. they should be limited by now only by time, not $. still there is a large portion of people on their forum which ask for those sales.

Wow, the Star Citizen developers are really testing the waters hard now in terms of how fanaticly people will buy these ships. A large expensive ship was just on sold and now this. Poor Star Citizen fans, literally. How many can afford two of these expenses in such a short time for a video game?

I can't comprehend how people are willing to spend 600$ for a virtual item for a game that has a chance to not be released.
Does it even have mechanics for such ships as this Origin...?

These "fans" are not normal people. They gotta catch them all at all costs. It's no more about supporting the development. It's about who has the biggest e-ship.

The problem is that all the shit that has been payed for and all the new features will have to be implemented into the game, tested and balanced. Development will take ages and all the content will land on our harddisks and clog up the memory of our devices and fuck the CPUs. How do they imagine to handle the netcode and synchronizing of everything?
Will we really be able to leave our ship mid fight to board an take over an enemy ship by killing the crew? And can we crash onto a planet surface during that? What about all the other ships and people flying/running around?
Too ambitious, too big. SC will either be only a fracture of what it wants to be or it will be split up into many many many small parts because they can't run together without failing

I honestly want them to pull it off, but it feels as if they are promising everything that any space game ever did in one package. Including planet surfaces and even race events...
I really wonder what the devs at Crytek are thinking... "Shit! Dudes, our engine was never meant to have so much stuff going on at once"!

There's a difference between promising and then saying it's something they're planning to do, but they haven't quite figured out. Planet surfaces, for instance, can mean many things.
We're seeing progress constantly, and their monthly reports are very detailed.
Chris Roberts has been very open about the way they're funding the game, and he went into detail about this in his last letter.
There's absolutely no way it'll be everything they're "hoping" it will be, but it's more than likely going to be quite a game upon release.
You don't have to do anything except pledge at the base level - and you'll be getting a very strong space game for, what, 30$?
Anything else is completely and entirely optional.
So, they're getting a ton of money for a game that has 280 developers working on it.
I don't see the downside.
As for Chris Roberts being an egomaniac that makes crappy movies.
Well, I have extremely fond memories of Wing Commander 1-4 and Privateer. Some of the very best gaming experiences of my life.
Maybe that doesn't matter to others, though.

Look nice but.. that performance.
You'll probably need less then a year old high end hardware to even run the game when it releases.

It isn't optimized at all, even the dev computer is struggling with it. Got to allow them a few passes at optimization before calling them out on it. You're right about needing a high end computer though, especially if you want to max everything out. It could probably run on a fairly high mid-end too with some adjustments to graphics quality.

Haha, true enough. A little better at least is fair to expect.

Keep in mind it will probably take a couple of years to buy something comparable to that dev system below 2000$.

The PC is not struggling to run the game. Just it's fixed to 30 fps. Nobody will ever use more than 30 fps again. That's what the Ubi specialists say.  Spoiler: | |

Notice how Roberts mentions "CryEngine's streaming issues" right at the beginning when the ship warps in.

Dear mother of...that looks fantastic. "Work on <insert anything but dogfighting module> hasn't even started yet" - fucking told you so, it's not as if what we get is all they've got.
And yes, there is plenty of optimisation to be done, but as the last patch for the dogfighting/hangar module shows, that is not as far fetched as it seems. It really doesn't run as bad as some people think it does. Still would've preferred to see it on Frostbite though

The new video above looks absolutely mindblowing, like nothing I've ever seen before, but the sad fact is ... even on their stupendously high-end dev machines it runs like a dead fish. It's terrible. Sure, you can say "optimisation is to come!" but really... really? It would have to be improved by multitudes to get even close to what I consider playable. Then the CryEngine "streaming issues" during the opening and all transitions - so they're going to fix the entire ENGINE are they? I think now, as I have done from the start, that CryEngine was a bad choice
Impressive video nonetheless but I am wondering how they're going to tackle hundreds of planets and starbases, and keep not only the same visual fidelity (remember; it's meant to be seamless so it's not like they can load a new "map") but also keep things from looking like every other MMO on the market; cookie-cutter repeated animations and lifeless AI. Are we going to see the same security checkpoint all the time? Will we have to walk through a checkpoint and hear a guard tell us to wait while they scan? What about the hundred++ other players who want to land and enter the starport? Is it going to be like WoW with fifty to a hundred players running around? Shouting out what they're selling and "LFG"? Bottlenecking the checkpoints?
It just seems like this project is way beyond the scope of what is feasible with current technology and budget and I'm certain that when (if >_>) it launches, it's going to be a hollow shell that will be filled in with all (most) of the content people are expecting now, years down the line. The video did look incredible but with all the setpieces (like the guards walking up to secure the ship, or your pilot asking for planetary landing permission, or the checkpoint guard scanning your ship) seem more fitting for a SP title than a sprawling galaxy-wide MMO.

They should have stuck to UE4 or something else, because CryEngine 3 sucks for anything other than "prettiness" -- dat 15fps PBR! *orgasm*
