A few important things to know about Star Citizen.

If you have already learned about the Chris Roberts game and are ready to become a star citizen of this universe, take the first step to obtain citizenship - register on the official website of the game.

There is no localization in Russian yet, but with the help of this instruction, creating an account will be painless.

First of all, let's go to the site at https://robertsspaceindustries.com/enlist?referral=STAR-PDP3-GKGQ; this will give you a head start of 5,000 play money at the start. I want to say right away that this is not enough to start the game. You still have to buy it with real money. Game rooms are useful for buying equipment.

In the window that opens, fill in the required tabs.
LOGIN ID
- under this login you will be authorized in the game and on the site. No one will see it except you. Here you can not suffer with inventing beautiful word, and enter any.

PASSWORD
- Create and enter a password. Preferably reliable. At least 16 characters is better.

CONFIRM PASSWORD
- re-enter the password and do not forget to write down it and the login, somewhere for yourself, in a secluded place. I also want to note that the login is saved in the game launcher and you do not need to enter it every time, but there is no password.

EMAIL ADDRESS and CONFIRM EMAIL ADDRESS
- write here email address your mail. It is not advisable to use the mail.ru service - there are cases when letters were not received at the addresses of this server. Use yandex or google.

BIRTHDATE
- indicate the date of birth. Please note! You must be of legal age. Therefore, we write the year of birth, at least 2002

Let's move on to filling out public information.
HANDLE
- ID of your page on the game site. By analogy with ID vKontakte or Facebook. You can choose something memorable or don't give a damn about beauty and enter any word. This word must not be occupied by another user. It is also impossible to enter LOGIN ID. True, you can get out by adding letters or numbers to the login. When compiling this instruction, I chose the OWARON login. I will add to it the year of birth specified during registration and enter it in the HANDLE field. Now my address public page will be: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/Owaron1997. After creating an account, HANDLE can be changed for free once - in your account. In the future - only for a fee.

COMMUNITY MONICKER
- public nickname on the Star Citizen game forum. Must be different from LOGIN ID. But you can specify a HANDLE value. In the future, the nickname can be changed as many times as needed.

REFERRAL
– by specifying the referral code, you will immediately receive a bonus of 5,000 play money. If you followed the link indicated earlier, the code should already be entered into the line. If this does not happen, enter STAR-PDP3-GKGQ.

It remains to fill in the captcha, agree to the terms of service - by ticking the box below and pressing the ENLIST NOW button.

After reloading the page, in the right upper corner you can get into Personal Area. The yellow indicator next to MY RSI says that the account has not yet been verified.

Wait for the letter to the mailbox indicated during registration and follow the link in the letter. The indicator will turn green.

Registration on the game site is completed.

Game packages (pledges) are sold on the official website of Roberts Space Industries (abbr. RSI) in the section;

1.2. I bought a game package, but only single player is available to me. What to do and how to play with real people?
If you do not have access to alpha testing, you will have to buy passes for separate modules. For example: Arena Commander Pass (passes are unique for each individual game module);

1.4. How can I pay for the purchase of a game package?
The following payment options are currently supported: Stripe (Credit card), Paypal, Amazon. Plus RSI store credits if they are on your account from somewhere;

2.2. Consider several options for basic packages:

• The most modest game package is Aurora MR - $30/€24. The package contains only the final version of the game, it does not contain any type of test access. With this package, you can only play the final version of the game (expected in 2016). If you suddenly want to take part in testing, you will need to purchase the appropriate access separately;
• Next up is the Aurora ES - $35/€28. The package is almost similar in composition to the previous one (point 1), however, there are changes - Aurora MR has been replaced with a simpler ES, and access to beta testing of the game has been added. If you suddenly want to take part in alpha testing (the beta is already in the package), you will need to purchase the appropriate access separately;
• Next, consider - (or its full counterpart but with Mustang Alpha). This game pack contains access to the beta testing of the game, as well as a pass (Arena Commander Pass) to the alpha testing of the Arena Commander game module;

If you want to buy a game pack and start playing right away, then we advise you to make an initial choice between the Aurora MR AC Starter - $45/€36 and Mustang Alpha AC Starter - $45/€36 packages. These packages contain the entire minimum set required for the game:

A few important things to know about Star Citizen:

At the moment (end of 2017) the game is under development. Only individual game modules are available that demonstrate the potential of Star Citizen - what this game should become. The following modules are currently available:

• hangar module- the first module of the Star Citizen game, which the developers presented to the public. It is from your hangar that you will start your game. The Hangar module allows you to store your ships and interact with them: inspect, climb inside, customize them, change weapons, equipment, etc. Currently, 4 hangar options are available (economy, business and elite class) + an industrial hangar that can only be placed in asteroids;
• Arena Commander– a module that implements the mechanics of space battles involving various ships. You can fight both with real opponents and with AI. A lot of battle modes have been implemented, ranging from "all against all" to team-based ones like "capture the flag", etc.;
• Murray Cup- a module that implements the mechanics of competitions for the high-speed passage of specially created racing tracks. There are currently 3 separate locations available (in latest updates The Murray Cup has become one of the Arena Commander game modes);
• Social/planetary module- a module that implements the mechanics of interaction with other players and characters. Currently, there is a separate location in the access game - the landing zone on the planet ArkCorp (ArcCorp), which you can explore on your own two feet or using a special buggy for this;
• FPS module (Star Marine)– a module that implements the mechanics of FPS battles (with the release of the Alpha 2.0 version, this module became an integral part of the Permanent Universe module);
• Permanent Universe Module, currently known as the Crusader / Crusader) or mini-PTU - in fact, this is the core of the permanent universe - a huge game world that the developers of Star Citizen are building. This module actually combines all the previous modules so that you have the opportunity to experience what Star Citizen will become in the near future. A separate star system with several planets and moons is currently available at PTU. The total length of the location is millions of kilometers that you can explore on your ship. Also at your disposal are several space stations, several hundred missions and locations for research and battles with real opponents or AI (pirates and law enforcement forces).

When Star Citizen is officially released, access to the game will be paid-only. According to the assurances of the developers, there will be no monthly subscriptions. All you need to do is to purchase a game pack with the ship you will start playing on once. During the development of the game, it was decided to split Star Citizen into two separate projects: Squadron 42, a single-player version of Star Citizen in which you will have to complete a series of separate missions, and Star Citizen itself, a multiplayer version of the game with a Persistent Universe. First comes Squadron 42, and then the multiplayer Star Citizen.

It must be understood that Star Citizen is being developed without a publisher - with funds raised through a crowdfunding model: more than a million fans "donated" their hard-earned money to ensure that the game was created. In total, at the end of 2017 the developers managed to raise more than $ 170 million. All those who supported the project receive the status of a backer (backer - donor / sponsor), but in reality, the bakers do not donate their money to the developers of Star Citizen, but in fact they purchase game packages, individual ships and game items in advance. It is the bakers who own the game package that now have access to Star Citizen.

Baker status can be obtained without purchasing a game pack, which currently has a minimum value of $45, but by purchasing something in the game store for a minimum amount of $5 (for example, any upgrade for a future ship. For an example, see below). Then everything can be exchanged for in-game currency).

Naturally, in such a stripped-down version of baking, you will not have access to the game itself, but it also has its advantages, because. developers periodically encourage bakers through the issuance of various bonuses and game items, and this applies to all bakers, regardless of the size of their "contributions". Those. the sooner you become a baker who supported Star Citizen, the more goodies you will have by the beginning of the game. The truncated baker option is good for those who have not yet decided whether they want to spend on a game package, but at the same time would like to stake a place for themselves and receive bonuses along with all the other bakers.

All of the above doesn't mean you can't play Star Citizen for free! The developers periodically arrange promotions, arranging weeks of free flights in Star Citizen for everyone, or distributing special promotional codes that allow you to get access to Star Citizen for a certain time. Stay tuned to our website if you don't want to miss the opportunity to play Star Citizen for free!
