First-person combat "on select lawless planets," a stretch goal should the game hit $20 million, was also announced in a post celebrating the milestone. To put this fundraising in space-related perspective, if you took each of those dollars and laid them end-to-end, they'd be more than half the diameter of the planet Mercury.

Star Citizen hit $17 million (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/01/star-citizen-funding-soars-to-new-17-million-crowdsourced-heig/) less than a week ago, and $15 million (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/01/star-citizen-hits-15-million-in-crowdfunding-averaging-36k-pe/) less than a month before that. In other news, Joystiq is currently running on emergency supply puns to describe the astronomical amount of money Star Citizen has raised.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Star Citizen fuels its starships with $18 million in crowdfunded money (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/07/star-citizen-fuels-its-starships-with-18-million-in-crowdfunded/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 07 Sep 2013 13:30:00 EST.
