As a grand admiral, i see my pledges as a investment into the hopes and dreams i have for this game. And to me, its not about the Game releasing, but the journey through development as a whole. With that said, every cent ive put into this game, ive put in it with zero expectations to anything, so if cig went bankrupt tomorrow, would not bother me emotionally one bit in regards to the "investment" ive made. but daydreaming about how it might end up to me and my ships, is priceless.

I'm a brand new player. Been playing the game for two weeks now. As someone that whales in Gacha games like Genshin (I've cut back substantially) the video game model of Star Citizen is far more rewarding than any gacha game imo. There is so much to do. The community is so ridiculously helpful (everyone wants everyone to enjoy and continue to play the game). There doesn't seem to be any kind of gate keeping whatsoever. I'm only $100 away from hitting Concierge, and I genuinely have no regrets. Even when a few of my friends and I hop on and make zero progress towards any of our in-game goals... there always seems to be a story to tell (usually comedic) after every session. This game is truly breathtaking, and I'm so glad I've finally given the game a chance.

Im at the wing commander level, 10k.. I thought I would qualify for the chairmans club entry. Not so much. I though I would be cool to have meetings with my org there. However, the bar located on orison around the fire pit at night is pretty awsome. My reward is feeling as contributing to building of the game. I feel its something that has never been done. I love every ship I own. I feel it dosn't give me any extra advantages. I feel there is some resentment towards those who spend allot on the game. We really dont get many perks. We do not get discounts. We get to share the ships with our orgs and freinds. It helps promote development of the game to bring all of our dreams come true. The community is great. Some people buy harleys. I buy star citizen ships. They are art work to me.

As a member of the Chairman's Club, it was my choice to support the progress of Star Citizen to the level I have. It is _not_ - as Farrister pointed out - necessary to dump piles of your hard-earned money into the game. Players can have exceptionally fun experiences with the most basic of ship packages, or even by taking advantage of "free fly" events such as Invictus or IAE if they want to simply give Star Citizen a try. For me, the best perk of having a largish fleet of my own is that I can (and I am always willing to) loan one of my ships to a player for a test fly if it's one they're considering purchasing. By doing this, I can help them make an informed decision about the ship and whether it suits their playstyle enough to warrant spending their money - or even purchasing it with in-game credits. It's only a tiny thing I do for the community, but I'm happy to do it whenever I can.

Greetings Farrister. Great video, and I enjoyed watching it. Normally, I don't advertise my concierge status, as it's rare that I wear the top hat and monocle. Honestly, I don't even carry any of those fancy gold weapons for my status level. I have reached the Grand Admiral status, and I'm almost to the Space Marshall level. That gold armor is pretty, but why would I want to stand out wearing it. For me, I consider the money that I've pledged as kind of and investment into the future of the game and enjoyment for others. I like the ships that I have and who knows, I may increase my fleet in the future. Frankly, I can only fly one at a time, so only time will tell. I haven't gone into the Chairman's Club Lounge that is currently in game yet, but one of these days I'll check it out. I believe it's either in Lorville or Area 18. Take care my friend, fly safe, and I'll see you in the verse.

@@Farrister Frankly speaking, it was done over the years. My subscription also helps to build it up regularly. I bought my initial membership and starter package in 2016 and got the Imperator subscription. I gradually built up my ship and vehicle fleet to a point that got me over the Concierge line and I did a melt and Concierge pledge package that included several nice exploration ships. When new ships and vehicles come out, if I like them, I pledge for them. So for 6 years of doing this, my level just keeps going up, until now I am where I am. If you can access the Fleet site, you can see what I have. Honestly speaking a few of them I was given to me or I won in streamer giveaways. I was kind of lucky there for a little while. I always try to be humble when it comes to talking about what I have and how much I've spent, and when I go out into the verse, I don't flaunt it either by wearing the gold stuff, and the top hat and monocle. I think the only place I might do that would be inside the Chairman's Club away from the general population. There's a very wealthy man that actually exists, Warren Buffett, the 3rd richest man in the US. I know where he lives and have seen the car he drives. If you just came across him on the street, you would never know he was rich unless you recognized him. He lives a life in a regular house and drives an older Buick car. He doesn't have a big mansion and doesn't flaunt his wealth. That's the kind of man that I try to be in the game.

My life would be no different, hand't I spent the money on star citizen. I never felt the obligation to spend it here but I choose to. Also I don't have the time to grind the money for the next big ship: I have other hobbies. I'm just happy that the money goes to a place that loves the game as much as I do.

You don't need to spend $1000 dollars to get into the chairmans club. You just need around 10 medical gowns to stack up and glitch through the door. You can get in with just buying an Aurora package. I'm sure they don't want you to glitch in there but you can do it. However it's kind of silly as there is nothing to do in there. If they had some high paying NPC jobs in there for the people that legitimately paid money to get in there that would be something. In fact I would recommend CIG gives some high paying jobs in there for the people that cashed out their bitcoin to buy some of this stuff. When passenger travel comes in maybe they'll have some high ranking NPC's that need luxury travel for big bucks, or clandestine UEE missions for those high tier ship owners. Or maybe a dirty smuggling deal or spy information for the UEE that pays big bucks. If some A-hole like me can glitch in there and only own a Titan it's a bit of a let down. Imagine you paid big dollars for the ships in the game and wanted to check out the VIP area only to find some A-hole in a medical gown teabagging the NPC bar tender you'd probably feel a little disappointed. Give them SOMETHING. A few choice missions for VIP members isn't going to break the game.

Been in SC since Oct 2012, one of the rare Golden ticket holders. Over the years my pledge level has steadily creeped up to the point where I now have 2 x F8 Lightnings on the account. I will admit that the concierge customer service has declined steadily over the years from the start where you could literally get an answer return of email. My quickest reply by Chelsea was a mere 2 minutes from sending the email, to the current times of almost a month to get a reply. Also in the early days of concierge, the CIG team bent over backwards to try and accommodate your requests where as now it’s pretty much a straight NO regardless of what you ask for. So realistically concierge isn’t worth anything anymore. There’s a few nice ships and extra weapons, although you’ll find that most don’t wear the golden armour or use the golden weapons as it makes us stand out too much. I am looking forward to getting access to the in game clubs, and we did used to get early access to the citizencons but that’s all ended as well. We do get different ship and game packages to purchase as well as a few physical items that state chairman’s club. Plus of course our own forum. I don’t regret one moment pledging the amount I have but over the amount of years I’ve been doing it, it doesn’t work out too badly.

I only started playing Star Citizen in January 2023 and I already have the Concierge status, I also played Star Citizen for more than 1000 hours so I see it this way that I paid 1 dollar for every hour of fun that I've had playing this game and it's only going to be cheaper from now on as I keep playing the game, I just want to support the development of the game which is why I bought so much from pledge and I don't really care about the extra's that I'm getting from doing that, yeah it's nice to have some privileges when I write to support but the things that I got in game is only the hat and monocle, cool but there's absolute no real use for it other than making you a target for pirates when they see you're a big spender by wearing it in game. Ow yes I almost forgot that I also got the golden Arclight gun with this perk.

Do I have to be the first to admit to being Legatus? Alright fine. It's really doesn't have nearly as much to do with owning jpg ships as you'd think. It's more that I buy silly shit to support a game I actually want, instead of disposable cookie cutter stuff. It's not just the scale of the game, but the depth. I do have a crazy mess for a hanger, but want to know what ships I fly the most? Cutlass Black, 100i, and Connies. 🤷♂

Well, I started in the last IAE . with a mustang as I saved $5 then found it was crap upgraded it to the titan . I set out not to get much . I set out not to get any ships in Concept . it started with the Prospector ( so I had a ship to mine after a wipe ) then the Sabre ( just loved the look and wanted a ship for bounties ) I was quite happy saved up 5mill for a MSR in game and was proud of it. but then and some how I ended up with concepts and a Space Marshal rank LOL that F8 Lightning is just teasing me LOL NOPE not doing it PC upgrade first LOL

Farrister, your videos are alway refreshing and interesting. Isn't there also a set of discounts or special ship purchases available to concierge members?

Thanks Jeff! Sometimes! I think I mentioned that with reference to some of the packs...

There are some exclusive packs available, yeah. They range from paints that have been taken off the regular pledge store, to paints only available to concierge members, all the way up to a $3,500 pack that has a bunch of ships, some of which are not normally available for purchase by the general public outside of special events and sales. I've never done the math to see if it's actually discounted from what you'd spend to buy each individually though. Nothing in the concierge store has ever appealed to me personally, but there is some stuff in there that isn't available to just anyone.

I have such status. In all honesty, I regret it. I wish I had stayed with my Avenger Titan starter package and left it at that. I don't really even play SC anymore due to the bugs and crashes on top of the lack of the content that was supposed to be released years ago. I own ships with very little in-game purpose such as the MSR. Years later this data running ship still doesn't have data to run because the introduced gameplay still hasn't been added to the game. Avenger Stalker holding cells aren't a game feature yet either. My exploration ships have very little to explore. As far as feeling good about my decision to support the project, that is a feeling that has left me. If you're going to spend serious money on this game I would make a few points. Number one, recognize that it really isn't a game as you know the term. Most things are broken or unfinished. Secondly, evaluate CIG's track record and spend a good 3 months in SC before deciding whether or not they are a company worth investing in. If you're willing to wait years to see the things that you're excited and hoping will be in the game someday, by all means. But also recognize that the money that you think you're investing into Star Citizen is actually going towards their other projects as well. The most prominent one being Squadron 42. They have publicly delcared that this game is their priority and will continue to be until it is released. Said release was proposed to be in 2 years. However, it was projected to be released years ago already. Case and point, make an informed decision. Don't get excited while first experiencing the game and open your wallet.

I think Grand Admiral and Space Marshal deserve a rare ship. Not sure to what degree of a ship though. Something like a slightly beefed 325a. Fancier interior.

They have taken so much away from the game that people don't even know. You use to be able to buy cups of Coffee from the vendors. You use to be able to drop package with the NPCs at desks you use to be able to get sub gear out of loot boxes are wrecked ships.
