[Games] Who's excited for Star Citizen?
11 years ago
Customizable multi-crewed ships. Ambitious developers who want to push what a space game can be. $48 million in crowdfunding. Yeah, it's time to talk Star Citizen again.
Obviously, there's some pretty cool stuff going for it, but where it's really shining is building communities. Space is really big and rich with possibilities--and dangers. You don't want to leave orbit without a wingman or at least a friendly ear on the radio. That's Fuzzball Enterprises wants to offer--a place where you can find mature friends (of the furry variety) to help you tame the void and find profits among the stars.
Since I last wrote about Fuzzball Enterprises a year ago, things have been pretty crazy for us. With over a hundred official members and dozens of prospects, we've been averaging one or two new faces each week since our inception. Since January we've had three meetups at different conventions across the country, as well as a chat channel which is usually active all hours of the day and night.
I know to some of you it may seem excessive or silly to form a gaming group a year or three before it ships. However, I'm delighted to say that as a result of the organization we've been building, I personally have developed friendships with a number of awesome people and reconnected more strongly with some old acquaintances too. I know I'm not the only one who has been discovering new friends in Fuzzball Enterprises. We're so enthused by the camaraderie that we're taking serious steps to set up larger annual meetups once our house is done (oh right, we're getting a house built with FBE in mind) and have already started having smaller local meetups for space games (Artemis!) and to practice our party skills. Seriously, it's been a great beacon to rally around.
So, who else stoked for some space exploration, combat and trading?

I'm really excited to see where both SC and ED go. They're both going to be great games!
Should be awesome though!
I kid. What're you planning to do first? :D
I've been waiting for something like this since my Freespace/Freelancer days. I'll probably focus on the little fast fighters and branch out from there lol
i can fly alot more acuratly with the q/e and r/f keys tho, but not being able to blow any thing up really sucks X.X
can't use the joystick or 360 pad to shoot accurately T.T
also black outs seem fairly random going half speed my guy blacks out really easy, but only on the first life? (sad cheetah)
What ship are you in, out of curiosity? That matters a lot I think.
just the front cannon does alot of dps if i can hit past the shields
