Some people over-pledged on Kickstarter for add-on ships, including some ships with limited availability. When will we be able to commit those funds so our ships are confirmed for our hangars?asked by Mellow Tigger
TL;DRSpending credits will work on the new site, which they expect to put into limited testing at the end of next month and roll out fully in June, with test access still undecided.
So the credit system is going to be functional on the new site. We were looking at building it for the old site, but since we're completely refactoring and building this site from the ground up, it didn't make sense to spend a significant amount of engineering on something that we're going to throw away. So the credit allocation program and a whole bunch of really great features are coming in the new site. The new site, I think we're going to probably go into a limited test at the end of next month and then probably roll it out fully in June. But we have to test it to some extent. So I think we'll probably invite some members of the community to help us test it. So we've still got to figure that out, because we don't want 100,000 people testing the site day one, because then you're not really testing it. You're just breaking it. So I don't know whether we'll do a lottery or people can say, hey, let me test the new site or something like that. But we'll figure that out in the coming weeks. But yes, the functionality to be able to spend your credits will be in the new site, as well as a lot of other things where you'll be able to sort of switch out something you have for something else in credits and move around and arrange the things that you've pledged for in Star Citizen.
