Cloud Imperium Games' sci-fi space sim and RPG Star Citizen has passed another major crowdfunding milestone: $700 million. The latest $100 million has been raised in less than a year as well.

Chris Roberts’ vacation fund has reached a new milestone. soypoint-2

so-true With your help we can get this up to 1 billion, which will ensure that Chris gets to visit more places and can enjoy more of the local cuisine. Oh, yeah, and it helps the game get finished sooner, of course.

In other news, they finally reworked the game’s UI after 12 years of R&D, and it now looks worse than it did before. Progress. soypoint-1

    Star Citizen, were it to ever come out, would first and foremost be a fast travel simulator.

    That could be even worse. Once upon a time there was a game called Naval Action, where you spend hours trying to travel because the travel was slow and there was no option of fast travel. Like it could take literally hours of real time.

      I enjoyed naval action for a bit. I was really into age of sail at the time though. I’d read some Jack Aubrey and then get my ass whipped by some Dutch bastards
