Star Citizen is a space MMO from Cloud Imperium Games, led by Chris Roberts. It was announced in 2012 alongside a Kickstarter campaign, became playable in early access in 2017, and still has no date for a full release.
The main mode is the Persistent Universe, a shared world where you can land on more than a dozen planets and moons, fly, walk around and fight in first person. Work is up to you: trading, bounty hunting, mining or missions. A law system tracks crimes and can land you in prison. Ships are bought with in-game currency or real money, and you can walk around inside them.
It suits players who want a detailed space sim and accept a long development cycle and periodic wipes of in-game currency. The sale of ships for real money draws steady criticism.
