New Star Citizen Video Shows Massive Gas Clouds & More as Crowdfunding Passes $311 Million

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released another video showcasing upcoming improvements for the game. 

First of all, we get to take a look at massive volumetric gas clouds that can range between slightly smaller than a moon and much bigger than the biggest planet in the game. 

The second part of the video shows new physical reactions for impacts that go from being shot to being knocked off a ledge or down when your ship gets rammed. 

You can watch the video below. 

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total has passed $311 million.

To be more precise, it’s sitting on $311,347,643 at the moment of this writing.

The number of registered accounts is now well over 2.7 million (currently 2,760,864).

As usual, it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including free fly events.

For the sake of full disclosure, the author of this article has been a Star Citizen backer since the original Kickstarter campaign several years ago, so you should keep that in mind while reading.
