Overview

Star Citizen is a science fiction space game from Cloud Imperium Games, crowdfunded since 2012 and playable as an ongoing alpha called the Persistent Universe. It is set in the far future in the human-run United Empire of Earth.

Players move seamlessly between walking around in first person, flying ships and landing on planets and moons without loading screens. Ships range from small fighters to large crewed vessels. Work includes cargo hauling, mining, salvage, bounty hunting, medical rescue and combat missions, and some ships need several players to operate. Server meshing is being introduced to support more players in the same space.

As an alpha, the game has bugs, wipes and missing features. Access is bought through a starter package that includes a ship, and additional ships and items are sold for real money, which has been a source of debate. PvP is possible in many areas.
