Hi Franco,
well to be honest I am not too much into the Star Citizen news and game contents but as far I could read you don't have to spend real money to repair your ship or buy another one. Well you have to spend money to get a new ship and also spend money for lost equipment (without insurance) but you can also buy stuff with game money and not only with real money. As far I remember Criss Roberts didn't want to have a pay to win game. But in other hand you can already playing games that are not officially pay to win but secretly they are (more or less)
At the end we will see.
I guess Blizzard was the first company who gets very rich in taking monthly fee (payment) so now other company's say that what Blizzard has achieved so far to get rich, we can do it better..
"
What happens if I don’t have insurance?
Your character will have to buy a new ship with any credits he has, or
if he doesn’t have enough credits fly missions for a third party (both NPC and player) until he’s earned enough to buy his own ship again."
For those who haven't seen the Video/Information giving by Chris Roberts about Star Citizen yet. In the Video you can also see the game grafic (Alpha-Version I guess)

Star Citizen - Announcement - GDC 2012 Panel - YouTube
there are many other great space sims out there... not only the ones from this particular developer
you should try them
next to that, he also released many games which were just crap
I have nearly played every space Sims, but the only Games I really loved to play were made by Chris. e.g. Lands of Lore. For some reason I never played Star Lancer o.o.....
But I guess the 6.2 mil. Dollar Donate shows that many ppl out there love his games and this also shows that ppl. are willing to support him. I am also very confidence that Star citizen will be a good game, maybe not a great one but a good one....we will see.
Finally it's here. Battlestar Galactica Blood & Chrome.
Thank you for the Link. Going to watch it 
I agree with what you guy say. First of all people pays the money because ppl see in Chris Roberts the creater of space simulations (action). Off course There was other games before Wing Commander, how ever all the great games I played and also many friends of me were made by him (his team).
So thats why People trust in him and ppl wish to see a new space simulation like all the great games we know from him. And yes I can good imagine that Star Citizen would cost lot of money. Not only by buyingt the game also by runningt the game, as it has been told by OP for many other things. How ever I am sure ppl would gladly pay the money when they can get something which they were looking/waiting for it since agaes.....
So I hope Chris can give ppl what all we are expacting and I hope this time Chris can take his time and creat a game as the way he wants it to be. And hopefully there wont be a EA or Microsoft which again try to over take his Company.......

A whopping $ 5.5 million dollars has introduced the crowdfunding campaign to Star Citizen already. Only remain a few hours to reach the ultimate goal of $ 6 million.
Screenshot for: crowdfunding campaign is approaching near the end of 6 million DollarMit 2 to 4 million dollars the developers had originally gerechnet.Durch the new milestone, an exclusive skin and the largest playable ship was released, the "Bengal Carrier". The solo / co-op campaign Squadron 42 will also benefit from motion-capture recordings.
In a new message, the team writes that $ 6 million would allow all that you had in mind for the game. First, it appeared impossible to ever come close to it, but still remain eight hours, to support the campaign. Among the planned 70 star systems come then again add 30 more, an orchestra helps from the soundtrack and Backer obtain a free copy of the first "Squadron 42 mission disk" (a supplementary campaign) called Behind Enemy Lines.
Who wants Star Citizen support can still do so via Kickstarter or the official website (via PayPal, credit card, etc.). In addition to the packages, there are now also the possibility to enter into a subscription. So you can support the development with 10 or 20 dollars a month, which brings with it some special rewards. It is the final game in this selection is not.

Chris Roberts reveals new game "Star Citizen"
Games
With
mysterious words proclaimed Chris Roberts (Wing Commander, Freelancer)
recently to work on a new project and promised no less than infinite
worlds with a completely new gameplay experience. Now, the title was officially launched.
Indeed, it seems the video game pioneer have not promised too much, because "Star Citizien" is at least ambitious. This
already includes the financing: The title is as many games with today's
standards especially appearing target group financed by crowdfunding
via the homepage of the developer studio. On
Kickstarter is waived, however, according to the FAQs you would
interact in this manner much closer to the fans - it was, said the
statement, their universe and their game. Why should a part of the yield totals for regular, weekly updates and interact with the community to be spent.
Overall, the developers estimate at least between two and six million dollars, an unusually high amount. As usual, the size of the game by the amount of revenue is made dependent. More
money will be pumped in to achieve these goals by investors - the type
of financing is to occupy the same time that a market exists for the
concept. So far we have, so the studio, working with his own money and a framework financing, so already a tech demo can be shown. Should
the minimum sum come together, either a refund or the beginning of the
project takes place with the money but at a reduced volume. From a sum of U.S. $ 30 buyers currently receive not only the game, but also a space ship to launch and in-game currency. In addition, the access to alpha and beta versions of "Star Citizen" is granted. If,
however, the finished item would fund similar to Guild Wars 2: As a
full-price merchandise on the shelves, that drops after about
micro-transaction profit - which one would like to produce more content.
The
items are to be acquired, according to the announcement, but do not
provide the playability benefits, it being possible to earn the required
credits also.
Video "Star Citizen - Squadron 42"
Promised
in the end is no less than a full-fledged "triple A" game, with the
development by bypassing the publisher model in spite of the intended
claim by waiving Maketing and management posts should be even cheaper
than similar games. The
title is also developed using the CryEngine 3 exclusive to the PC and
to fully exploit the technical possibilities - already looks good
according to the first trailer. Vessels
with a size between meters and kilometers are not only incredibly
detailed, but are also consist of many individual segments and modules
that can be damaging to a detailed damage modeling. Also supports all types of input devices are up to the VR headset Oculus Rift.
Therefore, Roberts works not in a game, but in his own words in a universe that is continuously enhanced. Inspired
is the setting of a futuristic Roman Empire, where as in the historical
model, the citizenry will play a significant role. Those who wish can also choose not to be built so different, social classes and groups. Players
will also be in the style of Wing Commander, Privateer or Freelancer
may act out any freedom in the sandbox style and thus hire about being a
pirate, smuggler, trader or mercenary.
Furthermore,
the studio promises a completely dynamic, based on current theories of
physics universe that is both on the economic system as well as the
related company. Players will be able to discover some new systems and sell their data exploration, while its discovery named after them. Possible to create new spacecraft is provided in the plan, while promising mod tools without creative limits set. Chris
Roberts announced thus to nothing less than a fully interactive
universe that features about Dark Souls similar transitions between
single and multiplayer.
As release date is the development team from November 2014. However, in its aim as with John Romero's Kickstarter project seems appropriate to a basic level of skepticism. Although
the sector's most primitive stone shines in contrast to
Daikatana-creator, not with an illustrious history, the enormous
ambitions of "Star Citizen" however monstrous sound despite the advanced
level work - Roberts actually engages the stars.

XFire thanks for that video
YW
just for to remember for those who haven't seen the video or would like to see it again. By the way if you got enough money or richt grand dad or mum let me know so we can hire those ppl for FL2
WoW , that's awesome.. I imagine if they make a movie of that.
yes would be great
Sorry guys I don't want to attack anyone but it pains me when I see a mod with potential but as I mentioned before a serrver that is not stable. Imo it will get very very hard, even nearly impossible to creat a Community or to see more player on cf when the server stays like this !!
@ Huor
I also do not know what the reason for those server crashes are however once is clear to me that if those crashes will still remain and not reduce or better eliminate, it is going to be be hard to stablish a high number of players in CF and for community and also not a good thing for future of CF !!
@ Myric
I know that with Freelancer thingy but you would grow the role play in that way and it is not something new/revolutionary....has been proven before many times. That rule helps to bring/more role play in that way imo.
I know that is not easy with ship thingy but possible. I don't need to fly the best ship , at least not with one of my char.....but anyway its a suggest...I just want the people think about the points. I got much more ideas but its enough for now
Few points which imo should be followed if you guys wants to improve the role play:
1. I would suggest that there MUST be a rule to make ID more usefull. That means that for example players over lvl (xy) MUST wear a ID. Those who doesn't can be hunted by every player until they got a ID !!
2. Those who are getting enemy (red) to other players, because of wearing the ID should (not must) been attack!!
3. Belonging to a faction means flying the ships of the faction and not others
4. Clan system should be in the same area which the clan belongs to!
etc.
Thy for the Video Huor. I am waiting for this game since 2006. But I guess at least 3-5 year will be needed to finish the game since its more or less programming by 1 person. However the game definitely looks good and as you know there are unlimited systems. But I am not sure how ppl would react after visiting the 100th empty planet because soon or later you could get bored or not see any players. Its important to fill this hugh space with life which is impossible...... but we will see
Instead of insult ppl why you guys don't try to help this players by given them hints. Indeed the game is not hard to play but like everything in this world once %u201Eyou find out how%u201C things get easy. So my advise try to help beginners instead of insult or ignore them...so don't be surprise when you are not going to see enough ppl on this server than!
