Star Citizen's crowdfunding efforts have officially crossed the $18 million mark. 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.

Star Citizen hit $17 million less than a week ago, and $15 million less than a month before that.
