That's a wise decision anyway. The alpha 2.6 isn't yet out for open use. It's on what's called the Public Test Universe, and that isn't available to everyone.
So, you can currently get in for a free fly event, and that's totally free, the Star marine, FPS portion, of Star Citizen will likely be a day or 12 out yet until it's released on the "PU", or Public Universe, which is the Aapha server available to all.

That would depend on which forums you post in.

Let's see how many threads i can make before I'm banned... Well, they would probably move the thread into the of topic forum, and dlelete all duplicates.... But the point is. That the only online shooter I've played so far, was Dust. I miss the community, and would like if some old dusties move their rotting corpses over to Star Citizen. Even if it's only to gap the time until Nova is out. Star Citizen is becoming more and more a thing. And evenwith the drawbacks and fails of the past. The game has come a long way. And it's not far from the finish line. If you are curious, why some of the stuff took so long, just have a look at this: "The devil is in the details"
As an estimate, I'd say it's 2 to 3 years from the fuinish line.
On the other hand, Star Marine, the FPS module is probably only a few days until it's released to all of the backers. This part, currently, is the part most similar to Dust 514.

Bluescreen is a failure of your system.
It's probably due to too many network connections, because that's a common issue with some systems and the SC installer. Turn off P2P connections before you start the download and see if that helps. A bluescreen though, is a hardware issue.
Also, you don't need to buy a $2500 package. You can get into SC for $45 dollars and be fine. |

Star Citizen is in Alpha, and isn't claiming to be a "complete" game. That being said it already offers significantly more than Dust ever did. It's only going to grow from here on out as well. |

Also the focus is obviously on space battles and not shooter stuff. The development teams for Star Marine and the space monkeys are separate, they're just working from the same engine. Trying to compare DUST to Star Marine is like trying to compare the flavors of apples and pants. They're too different. Star Marine is very much similar in combat pacing, but that's about where the similarity ends. There's also not yet support for the ships with docking collars to lamprey up and drop boarders into enemy ships. So a lot of the features for the game are in infancy. On top of that, everything in star citizen is a RESOURCE HOG. There's no "moderate computer requirements," even after they've made the swap to the Lumberyard engine.
The Lumberyard swap isn't an entirely new engine. It's just networking backend modules. |
