I'm well aware of Star Citizen. I just don't know if it will be F2P friendly or not considering my financial situation.
It's already a massive PTW game, don't count on it being F2P.
You can play multi-player for $10 one time cost with no monthly fee, as long as you don't mind working on someone else's crew and saving up game credits for a ship of your own. Everything will be purchasable in game.
And yes, ambitious games take a lot of time. I personally hope they don't rush.
Wait what? "Someones crew"? Is that SC speak for a guild/fleet or did they at some point decided to bring in some real ships? Not those tin-cans with a cockpit; big stuff. Battleships with x thousand crew and a bridge. I'm too old to go back into a 'pit. :P

There are some big ships but not 'thousands' (yet). Most multi-crew ships are 2-5 crewed. A few get up to 12 or so I think. So yeah, if your buddy bought a ship, you could get to be his co-pilot.

You only need to buy the game when it's released (or Pledge now for a package that includes the game and a starter ship; and you'll have full access to the 'Persistent Universe' server (no monthly subscription required.) The game will also come with a single player (aka Wing Commander like) single player campaign.
All ships in the game will be purchasable with the in game currency (UEC) - which can be earned in game. They also will be selling UEC for real world currency but plan to cap how much you can purchase per account in a month; and also plan to offer paid DLCs - which will be other single player campaigns your character can take part in.
TLDR; It will be a 'buy once - get full access to the Server, with the ability to purchase in game currency for convenience; or earn in game currency by just playing the game itself.

2: how would that prevent him from submitting it? he's NOT submitting it to a different company.
Because those who entered the DTNE contest surrendered their rights to the work. Even if it was the same company (which it's not BTW), it's CBS's property now. So unless CBS was the one to contact him and give him the calander slot, I would think that would be a violation of the DTNE contract. But since the 2016 Calander is already published, that's their problem. But here, the thread should be at least moved to the fan section since this has nothing to do with STO in the broad sense of the term.
Since the Ship of the Line calendar is also a licensed product, I doubt they would TRIBBLE that up.
I actually submitted something else I had made exclusively for the calendar, a kind-of gimmicky "try to find the all the cloaked birds of prey" image, but I was contacted by CBS, and while they didn't want that one, they requested this piece specifically, and I was, of course, happy to oblige.
So if I get this correctly, you didn't violate the DTNE agreement in entering your design in another contest, but CBS approached you to be in the Calander?

Yeah. My fleet for instance is comprised of six vessels that will require a total of 15 crew. I could hire NPCs, but I'll always prefer to hire real players, especially as pilots and gunners. (I'm less picky when it comes to grease monkeys and cargo bay laborers.)
"STO-Related", as in that one dude's awful looking bucket of a ship with the fugly neck and glued on engineering section and pinched-sphincter deflector that he was delusional enough to think was Enterprise-F material, and got butthurt when few people on deviantart/Trekbbs shared his love for every single horrible aspect of it.
I liked it. Cryptic seemed to like it too; they made the command cruisers look real close to it.
Now Fuzzy's Star Citizen ship... I wasn't a fan of that. I'm really not a fan of asymmetry.
There must be exceptions. What about the Millennium Falcon?

Not really a fan of the MF either. Though it's not horribly asymmetric. Just has the cockpit off to the side.
Star Wars has many odd-ball ships. Many seem to have needlessly moving/rotation parts.
Same goes for the JJ Trek Jellyfish. It'd be at home in a galaxy far far away.

That's quite the angry run-on sentence you have there.
You're just grinding your own TRIBBLE to get your ship of your ddream without little ffort but instead you could build it from strat to finish in Space Engineers and be proud of it but no, you need some jigglypuff level editor like tacofangs to do it for you because you're lazy as TRIBBLE.
Anyone else notice that the Falcon's dish in SW7 is now rectangular btw?
No, but it might make sense - the Falcon lost in Episode VI, right?
Oh yeah, I forget how many pieces it was in at the end of that. Didn't the rebels give Han a small cargo ship or something as a temporary replacement? *looks it up* Enh, the wiki seems to think it wasn't destroyed. So the square dish is simply a replacement part.

It's fine by the end of the film (minus the dish).
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

You never know, Mustrum. Sometimes the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.

Cool! How is the print quality?

It's not a p2w game at all (SC that is).
