Title: Sweet Baby-J, grab your HOTAS and ignore all life obligations!
Post by: MahoneyRed on May 19, 2014, 08:40:08 AM
It's time, it's finally time! The latest release from Chris Roberts, the mind behind game series like Wing Commander, Freelancer, and the hugely anticipated Star Citizen release, has stated that Arena Commander, the long awaited Dog Fighting Module, will be sent out to Alpha backers on May 29th (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13883-Arena-Commander-Weekly-Report-May-12-16).

My HOTAS sticks have been collecting dust, but I think this means it's time to function check and begin plans for a whole new desk... again. I'm not sure what I will do first: Crash into a rock, crash into someone else, crash into the hangar doors, or barf rainbows as I stare at the environment. All told, "crash" is ranking high on the probability meter.

If you are already a member of the Star Citizen 'Verse, and are looking for an org to join, check out our sub forum dedicated to all things Star Citizen (http://www.fites.net/star-citizen/) and find out some more on how you can fly with us!

I need to make a correction.

In my initial post I said this was available only to alpha backers, but I am mistaken. Anyone can still purchase a ship and get in on the DFM action. All alpha slots for the Persistent Universe are taken up, but there is still a way to get your pew pew on for people that have not  yet taken the plunge.

I really want to pilot the massive ships like the Constellation. That portion of the alpha can't come soon enough. On a side note we have 12 members, and 3 Constellations. So you know where I am going with this?

Did they state which ships will be flyable in the free flight mode?

Yes at first the DFM will lonely et you fly your single seat ships.  And if you don't have one they'll give you one that equivalent to the ship you might have.  Later updates will open up the bigger ships!
