I put in $40 for it, looks fun. Remember you don't have to buy the expensive packages to get the stuff in the game you want, just takes time to get it. Which is what you will be doing in the game anyway..

Tried out the Hangar module today. While I realize this is essentially alpha code, I left unimpressed because there are massive graphics artifacts on my 7870 (stock speed). When I rotate my field of view the ship in the middle of the hangar leaves a huge graphical "smear" behind. I even updated my Catalyst drivers from 13.1 to 13.4 to see if that was a problem but it made no difference.

EDIT: After looking at the RSI forums, this seems like a known issue, though the patch notes don't make it very clear. I guess I'll wait for the next patch.

it was in the hangar faq:
What are the minimum system requirements for the Hangar Module?

Windows 7 or 8 64-bit Dual Core CPU: Intel Core2 Duo 2.4Ghz / AMD Phenom X2 8GB of RAM NVidia Geforce 460GTX AMD Radeon HD5850 DirectX 11. Keep in mind that these are estimated system requirements and may change for the final release of the game.
limitation of cryengine 3; it only supports dx 11.

That's not quite true. It can do DX10+. But since this is a game that's not due for release until 2015, CIG is targeting DX11+. A DX10 baseline means they can't use tessellation and compute shaders as baseline features.

I just loaded up my hanger and messed around for a bit. It's pretty cool to see my ship for the first time "in game". I must say my little Aurora looks pretty bad ass.
It was a little glitchy but I wasn't expecting much out of a pre-alpha. Overall I thought it was pretty cool. Hopefully my $30 was well spent.

I got the colonel package. Didn't have anything that I could see wrong with the hangar and ship + my comp setup at all when screwing around in it. The jumping animation was fugly as hell though.

I took a couple screen caps of my hanger. The quality is kind of bad but I thought it would be cool to share. What do the other ships look like in game? Anyone else want to share some pics your hangers?

Wow! How did I missed that this was using CryEngine3? This just moved up on my list of importance. Great stuff.

I'm mad I missed out on the life time insurance as well, wasn't paying attention to this kickstarter until it was too late. Right now I'm trying to decide whether to get the origin 300 or the freelancer package. I figure the freelancer cargo ship will be the way to go to make money in the real game but I have no idea for sure since there's not enough details yet.

You COULD always beg an original backer to buy you up an LTI package and "gift" it to you... :hmm:

I can help you get a package, toss me a PM if interested.

it is a requirement of crysis 3 (also uses cryengine 3), which only supports directx 11. this isn't on cig either; if you want to point a finger point it at crytek.
