Star Citizen Bests $34 Million, Will Unlock a Black Hole at $36 Million

Star Citizen, the ambitious and yet extremely lucrative space sim by Chris Roberts, has just boasted yet another crowdfunding milestone – they’ve blasted past $34 million dollars. With this new achievement, they’ve confirmed yet another stretch goal. Both are detailed below!

This new milestone unlocks a brand new cargo starship:


  • MISC Hull C (Discreet) – Scaling from small “box trucks” to massive supertankers, the MISC range of cargo hulls (A-D) are the standard goods transporter in human space. Extremely configurable, MISC Hulls can be adapted for most any type of transport job: from standard bulk shipping on the patrolled spacelanes to armored cargo hauling on the frontier. While these pre-configured hulls are primarily used for legitimate purposes, the MISC Hull Cs have recently become the favorite for criminals who modify the ship with advanced sensor shadow technology, quick-decompress holds and a variety of hidden compartments without modifying the ship’s body so it will appear to onlookers as standard everyday transports.

Naturally, the team has already revealed a new stretch goal at $36 million, and it’s quite interesting, to say the least:

  • Tamsa System – Located near the fringe of Banu space, Tamsa System features a massive central star that has collapsed into a black hole. Evidence suggests that there were at least two more planets in the system when the star collapsed before the ensuing black hole engulfed them. Only two planets remain in the system, a chthonian world and a gas giant located far from the black hole’s event horizon. Initial surveys indicate that the two outer planets are slowly being pulled towards the black hole, leaving the two as a risky proposition at best for any sort of colonization.

So there you have it, an awesome sounding cargo freighter has been unlocked but the addition of black holes into the Star Citizen world is very possible. At this rate, the game will probably hit $40 million in no time.

Editor’s Note: Pictured above is the MISC Freelancer, which is made by the same manufacturer, but is not the MISC Hull C. I’m also starting to run out of adjectives to describe Star Citizens’ earnings.
