Star Citizen has broken the $23 million mark, meaning the game is getting the Xi’an Scout, and some gorgeous artwork in a new brochure for the Aurora spaceship, which you can see here.

Cloud Imperium Games also shared details on the upcoming enhanced alpha for the game, unlocked at $25 million, which will be rolling out in phases:

Enhanced Alpha – We will use additional funding to build a wider alpha test than we had originally intended for the first phase of Star Citizen’s launch. The initial plan was to first launch servers in North America and then expand to areas such as Europe and Australia to decrease latency in these areas, perfecting the game as we improve the experience around the world. This funding will allow us to invest in a wider infrastructure for our early testing, spinning up remote servers earlier. Hitting this goal will also allow us to increase the number of remaining alpha slots. Extra alpha slots not only means more Star Citizens will travel the ‘verse at launch, but that we will receive more feedback and more stress testing. This in turn will allow us to better balance and enhance the Star Citizen experience!
