FAQ
我们想在特卖开始前回应玩家社群中的几个话题:
Q: 终身保险(LTI)有多重要?
A: 我们再一次强调LTI只是一种便利, 并不会影响游戏平衡. 所有飞船都有保险, LTI和标准船身保险(SHI)的保障范围完全一样. 唯一的分别是SHI有时限, 到期后要付游戏内货币续保, 而LTI没有期限. SHI续保的费用和频率和汽车保险差不多, 只要你在SC里做些任务或者跑几次商, 你就有足够金钱不用再担心这项支出. 事实上, 对新玩家来说, 在官网上买船比从二手市场买LTI船更有利, 因为这样他们可以获得给应募者的延伸目标奖励.
Q: 自由行者(Freelancer)和星宿(Constellation)的其他型号会登场吗?
A: 我们收到很多要求这两款船资料的请求. 这两款船的其他型号不会在二十六日面世. 它们出场时, 我们会提供升级套装. 有LTI的飞船能够升级的同时保持LTI资格. 我们还不能公布具体型号的资料, 但我们可以告诉大家设计队伍在制作额外三款自由行者和两款星宿.
Q: 为什么再次发售限定飞船?
A: 虽然我们现在已经几次再度推出限定飞船, 论坛上依然有人旧事重提. 我们确实在Kickstarter页面上说限定飞船不会再度发售. 我们说错了. 我们的意思是限量飞船(镰刀和伊德里斯-M)的总数, 顾名思义, 是有限的 – 所以我们说不会再度发售. 其他限定飞船并不限量而只限时发售以保持其稀有度. 很不幸, 我们的用词产生了歧义, 让人以为所有限定飞船都不会再度发售. 我们之后更正过不会再度发售的是限量飞船, 但总有人旧调重弹. 以上是我们对此的官方立场, 请随便在论战中引用! 
除此之外, 我们的用户数大幅增长, 无数用户希望成为油轮船长, 赛艇手或是海盗. 我们希望所有人都能以自己的方式体验SC宇宙. 因此我们将继续在特殊场合推出限定飞船. 所有限量飞船都是售完即止.
Q: 你会再次发售凡刀镰和伊德里斯-M吗?
A: 这两款船的发售和游戏设定相连. UEE捕获一艘凡刀母舰, 以及出售一批多余的伊德里斯武装快艇. 这些独特事件让这两款船的贩卖变得可能. 游戏完成后, 你可以用升级套件把伊德里斯-P升级到军用规格.
Q: 你们为什么改变计划让所有人购买的限定飞船都有LTI?
A: 我们对SC的灰色二手市场的轨迹相当不悦. 少数用户屯积居奇, 以高价售卖限定飞船给迟来的新人. 我们的CS部门收到的诈骗报告与日俱增. 我们希望这次年末特卖能够奖励所有人而不是让少数人图利. 新用户购买飞船的价钱会比OB和VB高以兑现我们对早期应募者的承诺的同时让新用户不用踏足灰色市场.
Q: 为什么不让新用户购买的非限定飞船也有LTI?
A: 我们许诺早期应募者会有LTI而后来的没有. 另一边厢后期应募者的数量比早期的多一倍, 有些新用户不开心没机会获得LTI. 我们认为让新用户以较高价钱购买限定飞船是恰当的折衷办法. 我们觉得让非限定飞船也有LTI有点过火, 但是上述方案保持早期应募者的优惠的同时让新用户也能获得LTI, 还有更多资金能用于游戏开发, 会比较容易接受.

Anniversary Sale Details
Greetings Citizens,
As you know, November 26, 2013 marks the end of Lifetime Insurance (“LTI”) availability for Original and Veteran backers. We made lower-cost LTI packages available as a reward for the group of backers who made Star Citizen possible in the initial campaign, which culminated with the close of a grace period on November 26, 2012.
To celebrate our first year in operation, over the next week leading up to the 26th we will be offering each of the “limited edition” ships and packages once again for a limited time, so that anyone who would like to pick one up can do so. To give everyone a shot to catch the ship they’re interested in, we are going to announce the schedule in advance today. Ships and packages will be available for 24 hours (midnight to midnight PST.)
As a special thank you to everyone that has got us this far, including our growing contingent of New backers, Limited ships will include LTI for everyone! However they will only be available at the original prices for early backers (Original and Veteran) to keep in the spirit of our original promise to make sure that the earliest backers would have a benefit over later backers.
The Super Hornet is not being offered now, as it was available very recently.
- Monday, November 18 – ORIGIN M50
- Tuesday, November 19 – ORIGIN 350R & Lightspeed Package
- Wednesday, November 20 – Drake Caterpillar
- Thursday, November 21 – RSI Aurora LX
- Friday, November 22 – Anvil Gladiator & Aegis Retaliator (running through the weekend)
- Monday, November 25 – MISC Starfarer
On November 26th, we will start the second year off with a bang! Chris Roberts and the Star Citizen team will host a four-hour livestream starting at 11 AM PST which will feature the latest news and information, plus a chance to get your questions answered! We will also unveil the first details on the next assortment of ships, as we did at the first livestream! Like the original group, these ships will be offered for sale on special occasions… including some which will be purchasable for the first time on the 26th! There will also be a limited number of LTI Idris-P corvettes available for sale to all users, offered in four allotments throughout the day to allow Citizens around the world a chance at purchasing these rare ships.
Please be reminded that all these sales are to fund the development of the game and make the universe bigger and richer. We don’t care about making profits for public shareholders. We just care about making the Best Damn Space Sim Ever and you generous support has already allowed us to go way beyond what we thought would be possible upon initial release!
FAQ
In advance of the sale, we would like to take a moment and address several topics which have come up in the community:
How important is lifetime insurance?
Once again, we would like to be absolutely clear that LTI is a convenience but not a game-altering addition. All ships come with insurance and the coverage between LTI and Standard Hull Insurance (SHI) is exactly the same. The only difference is that you have to renew SHI with in game credits once the policy has reached its end (which varies right now between 3 months and a year on the current packages available for sale). With LTI there is no end date on the policy. The cost and frequency of renewing a SHI policy will be on a similar magnitude to renewing car insurance and assuming you complete some missions or trade runs in Star Citizen you should have plenty of in game funds available to cover this cost. In fact, newer players who purchased packages directly instead of going through a grey market service to get LTI are better off, as they have been receiving the various stretch goal rewards given to backers.
Will the Freelancer and/or Constellation variants be available?
We have also had a lot of requests for information on the Constellation and Freelancer. Variants for these ships will not be available for the 26th, but we will offer hull upgrades in the store when they are. If you purchase a Constellation or Freelancer with LTI today you can upgrade it to one of the special variants later while keeping LTI. We aren’t ready to announce what the variants will be, but can confirm that the design team is focusing on three more Freelancer variants and two additional Constellations.
Why are you offering the limited ships again?
Although we have offered the limited ships for sale half a dozen times at this point, the subject continues to be raised on the forums. We are aware that the original Kickstarter page states that these ships would not be sold again. Had we the ability to edit this page, we would add the following information: We made a mistake! The concept was that for the ships with a specified inventory (Scythe and Idris-M), we were only ever going to sell that quantity – hence the never sell it again wording, but the other ships that were not quantity limited were meant to be limited in that we would have them for sale for limited durations, so they would be a scarce commodity. Unfortunately our wording did not communicate this and the impression on our original post was that everything offered for limited sale would not be sold again. We subsequently corrected this to clarify that we were really talking about the ships that were offered with finite quantities but the issue has continued to be raised. This is our official stance on this so please bookmark this post for future forum debate! 
Beyond this our fan base has grown exponentially, and we are inundated with users who want to start the game as a tanker captain or a racer or a pirate. While we owe a great debt to our original backers, we would like everyone to experience the Star Citizen universe the way they would prefer. As a result we will continue to offer some “limited” ships during special occasions. Note that any ship with a finite quantity once the last is sold there will be no more.
Will you be offering the Vanduul Scythe or Idris-M again?
Both of these sales took place “in universe,” the result of the UEE capturing a Vanduul carrier and then selling off an allotment of surplus Idris corvettes. These were unique events which allowed us to offer ships which would not ordinarily be available for sale. You will be able to upgrade your Idris-P to military specifications using kits available in the finished game.
Why are you changing your plans and offering LTI for everyone with these limited ship purchases?
We’re not happy with how the “grey market” for Star Citizen ships has evolved. A limited number of users have hoarded rare ships and sold them for a premium to backers who discovered the game later on. Every day, the CS department receives more reports of users scammed while trying to purchase limited ships in this fashion. The idea behind LTI is to reward early supporters, not to give anyone a way to mistreat other Citizens. We’ve made this call to reinforce that the end-of-the-year sale is intended to reward everyone, not give particular users a chance to stockpile valuable ships for future resale. A New backer will have to pay more for a limited ship with LTI than an Original Backer or Veteran backer. This way the Original Backers and Veteran backers still get a reward for believing early but New backers will have an opportunity to pick up some special ships with LTI and not be forced into the grey market.
Why don’t you offer LTI on the base ships for New backers?
We promised that our early backers would get the benefit of LTI over later backers. On the other hand there are almost twice as many new backers as early backers and some of them are upset that they didn’t have the opportunity to obtain LTI by backing early. Offering LTI on the limited ships at a higher priced for New backers seems the best compromise. We feel that if we extended this to the standard ships it would be too much, but our early backers would be ok with the New backers having the opportunity to obtain LTI (at a slightly higher price) on the more expensive and rarer ships as it gives them a nice benefit and helps make the game better by raising more funds.
