@DDPRUITT, what your saying isn't really accurate... the $40 starter pack gets you full access to the alpha and the finished mmo.

You might want to check the available packs again, they've changed. $40 used to get you everything. As of right now there's a $45 pack that gets you squadron 42 and doesn't mention getting anything else, and another set of of $45 packs that get you Star Citizen plus a few things for that game. To get both you have to spend a minimum of $60. I know some people like it, but I don't feel like paying $60 for an alpha project.
They've promised things end of 2015, end of 2016, end of 2017 and everything they've release has been missing features. So when it comes to reserving judgement I think we have plenty to go on.
