tegan Posted July 8, 2014 The hilarious Star Citizen ship commercials make me think of that one Harlan Ellison story set in a near future where cars are equipped with weapons to settle traffic disputes and road rage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pkirkner Posted July 9, 2014 Have the thumbs talked about the .pdf ship brochures yet on the podcast? I believe that was the genesis of the automotive industry-style marketing for the game. Here are some links to them: Aurora 300 Series Hornet Freelancer Constellation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yalk Posted July 9, 2014 The 300i was the first and it debuted with the commercial and brochure....they were popular, so.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted July 9, 2014 Referring back to Chris' Star Citizen befuddlement; if only he had listened more to Bowie, he'd have known the instructions to how to operate a ship: 'Take your protein pills and put your helmet on...' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pkirkner Posted July 9, 2014 The 300i was the first and it debuted with the commercial and brochure....they were popular, so.... I hate that I know this, but they did brochures for the Constellation and Aurora prior to that. After the 300 series commercial made them buckets of money, they went back and redid the Aurora brochure (with the in-fiction explanation that it was for the new model year) and released that alongside the commercial. Presumably, they'll do the same thing for the Constellation at some point and will raise a few million dollars from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
