Just a heads up,
Star Citizen will get it's arcade shooter module soon. It will come with the next update (2.6). Sheduled for mid december.
This will bring a lobby shooter into the Verse. It is basically used to test the shooter mechanics for that game.
It is still all very alpha, but better than playing nothing while we wait for a new version of Dust.
Also this game will have space and ground combat in the future. It is very different form Dust, but it has potential for really complex infantry combat.
See Ya there. My Character in SC is: DandethAdloth if anybody from Dead Mans Game is reading this, especcially TheD1CK, wouldn't mind seeing you guys there.
CYA
ps. SC will have dropships in it... and they look awesome. |

Dropships in Star Citizen:
Prowler And this is just the current whitebox model.
Hoplite This one will be integrated in the next patch (eta probably next week).
Then there is an fan created one, The Redeemer but that one is due to be completely overhauled.
For the more piraty inclined there will be the Cutlass.
Here is a clip with some devs playing the upcoming lobby shooter module.
Here is a clip, of a gameplay preview. The planetary stuff, is not implemented in the playable stuff yet. But what you see in that clip, is what is to be expected in the first Patch of next year. (Minus the worms, since they are in a different System)
With all of that, be aware, that it's all still Alpha! So not polished, and they are still working on some of the base tech that is necessary to get the whole thing as scalable as possible.
In the long run, they want to get away from instancing, and create a "Server Mesh", that will move players betwheen servers, depending on their location in the persistent universe.
A lot of that tech is ground breaking stuff. So if you are interested, there is a lot of info on the RSI website. You can make an account for free. To play the game, you have to buy a basic package. But there are reocuurring freefly weeks, when everybody is allowed to play for a week or two.
