Does that also pertain to people who backed it via KS? Wouldn't those backers need to link their KS purchase with their RSI account?
As someone who backed the Kickstarter... I think yes?
This was something that people were supposed to do like two years ago though. iirc not long after the Kickstarter was over and the RSI site went live?
From the sounds of it, Kelor didn't link his accounts back then and can't find the e-mail detailing how to do that. Hopefully (I'm pretty sure they will) RSI will sort things out.
Oh yeah if that's the case then customer service can probably sort it out quickly (or at least they could if it wasn't in the early AM on a Sunday)
At the time I didn't have a computer that would be capable of running it, so I just sort of put the money into Kickstarter and figured when it dropped I'd be fine.
I'm sure it will be resolvable, the email for my kickstarter is the same as my account is under, so it shouldn't be hard to match.
Still holding out for 3.0, although I'm probably looking forward to the netcode update more than the planetary landing... it'd be nice to be able to play multiplayer without rubberbanding everywhere!
Man, I haven't looked at that spreadsheet in ages. I should proooobably update it some day.
Some day.
Ogad, I forgot about that spreadsheet. So much shame to be had in there.
EDIT: Why, why did I have look
Didn't you end up getting a refund on a lot of those, or do I remember it wrong?
Anyway, I did a tiny bit of cleanup on the PA Fleet Spreadsheet so it should be a bit easier to add your shame to our list if you haven't already. Might need updating with latest ship types, but I was just driving by, gotta head onwards.

So.. Gamescon came and went. Sadly no 3.0 announcement. Some bugs in the presentation, but hey, they look like they're continuing to build build build.

They've had a lot of mentions of 3.0 in the emails they send out. They're basically in bug squash mode for it right now. I wouldn't be surprised if we get it before the end of the year.
From the production schedule on the website ETA seems to be early October, if I'm reading it right. With the rate of date slippage I'd guess more likely a late October/early November release to testers, public release maybe December.

Way too much info comes out from the updates for me to reasonably pay attention and keep up. I'd pretty much either have to pay attention to SC updates, or pay attention to everything else I'm interested in; I couldn't manage both. But I'm pretty content with them putting out 3.0 or whatever and me having no clue about anything, with the game being so unrecognizable from when I played it last that I have to learn from scratch.
The two biggest "that's pretty neat" things to me I've seen in the last couple of days are the Mobiglass stuff (because of how much info it integrates and the fact that the screens are actual objects in the setting) and the facial expression mapping via webcam. I really would rather see somebody's character emoting in the game than see their actual face because of how much better that is for immersion, and the mapping looks like it actually works pretty dang well.
For me, i just get tired about all the details, terminology, studio gossip and whatnot.
There's too much noise to signal on things i am interested in and that would affect me or the finished product.
So i take a quick look everynow and then, but don't really follow all that closely anymore.

I basically skim the update emails and then watch some of the vids that come out and that's it
Don't get me wrong, I'm still hyped, but it's very much a version of hype along the lines of a mellow "Hmm, yes, this is good. Shit I approve of/am ok with is getting done/included."
So I guess less hype and more "This ridiculously ambitious project seems to be still moving along at a decent pace so... we cool?"
tbh after picking up a Rift part of me is ok with how long it's taking so that when it has a 1.0 launches I'll be able to actually afford the ridiculous PC required for that. Like seriously take your time guys, the 1080 Ti is still pretty fucking spendy and I probably want a pair of what comes after that anyways.
Is there enough game here to warrant a purchase now, or is it still so far off that it's not really worth it?

That's a pretty subjective thing based on what you want, but I wouldn't say the game is by any means in a state where it would be considered a fully functional game waiting for more content. You can fly ships alone or with other people and being outside ships now has FPS functionality as well, but there is definitely a lack of anything to work towards (you can't even buy ships inside the game yet).
I'd say the unique, worthwhile content is already much greater than what Elite:Dangerous launched with (since that came out with a handful of missions, ships, and stations that were just cut and pasted several million times), but they aren't assembled into an effective whole yet. There is a constant stream of updates, though, and just keeping the game patched can be time- and data-consuming.
And that's just the online-oriented stuff. The singleplayer content has a pretty tight lid on info and there is no access to that at all for anybody but the devs, and presumably won't be any access until the as-yet-unknown release date.
It's also more expensive to buy in now than in the past. You used to be able to get both Star Citizen (multiplayer) and Squadron 42 (singleplayer) for like 30 bucks, now it will cost you $60 to get both. 3.0 is probably where the game will be at a point that it could be considered functional, but that isn't likely to be out until later this year. The game also requires fairly powerful hardware to run well; I doubt much optimization has been done yet, and getting it to run decently requires some reasonably modern hardware.
So unless you're just dying to play this, no reason not to just wait, at least until 3.0.
Current content:
Shooting on foot.
Shooting with ships.
Social area where nothing happens.
Carage to stare at (some of) your ships.
Did they add the cargo delivery stuff in yet? Haven't checked lately.
If you want to shoot people, either on foot or in a spaceship, there's content to be had.
If you are like me, it probably won't be that engaging, pve content is kinda lacking.
Once 3.0 comes in, it should be lot better.
There is a lot of world building going on right now and considering how huge of a playground we're getting, it simply takes a lot of time to fill it up with content. Or at least content that doesn't look the developers rushed through it all and put in canned content (We don't run this place, but we have an understanding with the people who do)
One bit of the presentation that stood out for me is when the Constellation was leaving the planet, Roberts points out a gargantuan crater off in the horizon. See that crater over there? That's the size of the entire playable world of Skyrim (I never did play Skyrim, but I'm told it's pretty big) And that's just one crater on one ^moon^ of the Star Citizen universe.
Even after their universe-building, there's still going to be tons of room for us players to build starbases or factories, etc.
I gotta assume that the number of bugs have increased geometrically as things get more complicated.
I'm kinda assuming 3.0 will be the milestone for when I'm going to start getting back into the game more. At the very least maybe start thinking about buying a new video card (my GTX 570 ain't going to cut it) and start re-learning all the controls (haven't really played much since the first dogfighting module was introduced) and just...get a handle on how this game has grown so that I'm not in complete information overload when SQ42 and the PU are released.
I sort of feel like this is getting to a level of detail that is maybe not necessary for an unofficial Wing Commander sequel but who am I to judge Chris Roberts's dreams?
We've been way past the level of "necessary" detail for years now.
But hey, in for a penny, in for a hundred million+ dollars.

Something like this doesn't bother me one way or another. If it turns out to be trouble, it looks like it was easy for them to plug in some 3rd-party tech into their already-existing system without much time or effort so any development impact was minimal. If it works well, it looks like a pretty neat way to increase the immersion in the setting because players will have in-game facial movement like the NPCs.
I mean, it adds facetracking and TrackIR-like capability with zero extra cost because it can just utilize the always-unused camera built into my laptop. If nothing else, the head tracking will be nice to have for looking around.

Yeah, I use this in Elite Dangerous with FaceTrackNoIR. It makes sense to put it in the game if you're going to design the game around people being able to look around the canopy and not have a set view. The expressions or whatever are kinda iffy, though.
Well, I guess not here either but it's part of why Star Citizen still fills me with hope for some reason. Last time I ran the game after an update it was all laggy again so I'll wait a while before trying to load up my hangar.
In Blue Planet, one of the more successful and complex mods, several missions are based around battlefield control, capital ship piloting, and stealth/assassination tasks. It's super impressive.

AWACS- Airborne Warning and Control?
Not really sure what you mean, but Elite Dangerous is a great space sim if that's what you're looking for. There's no walking around - It's all flying all the time (well, you can also drive a land rover buggy).

If I boot up the launcher is anything new been added over the last eight months?
The FPS module, a whole slew of new ships (along with multi-crew ships), and a mini-Persistent Universe have all been added.
Ship additions are the most common things, but the pieces are definitely coming together and there's a fair bit to look at right now.
