Archive

Might still be available on an online archive site, might still be useful to find an author to contact, a long lost tool, or confirm it as abandoned/dead.

Dead or outdated links

Notes

  • Pretty much all the resources are sourced from reddit and the spotlight publicly, and being public are linked without asking for permission, in cases such as being sourced non publicly, for example from obscure discord channels, from an academic paper or solely on a professional website, permission has been asked of the authors. If something accidentally fell through please get in touch.
  • This is a public list, some creations and tools have not been included on purpose usually because their authors don't want the extra maintenance that comes with more publicity, sometimes some are org exclusive
  • Links that are against CIG terms of use are purposefully omitted, for example those selling unofficial star citizen merchandise, games or prints without license. Grey market links and rule 34 links are also omitted.
  • Links might be repeated in different relevant sections, direct links to the relevant part preferred.
  • Links to org tools/websites are fine as long as they are useful, or if a spreadsheet or some such has been created by an org it shouldn't be confused with pure advertising that doesn't bring anything, common sense applies.
  • Please move outdated things to the archive section instead of deleting them.
  • Few authors answer when asked about dead links, but some have kindly re-uploaded their creations when asked if they still had a private copy, such as comics or music. Dead links can possibly be resurrected, just ask.
  • The old Star Citizen forums contained a lot of things that are lost forever, asking CIG for a possible access to the old forums didn't help (fair enough), hence the will to archive some things (comics, music etc hardly get outdated)
  • If you create a resource, please include the game version. Permanent links that don't need to be manually updated to the latest version are strongly preferred.
  • Anyone including you can add a link or move an outdated one to the archive section, you can also get in touch with an editor if you prefer.
  • Any resemblance to the XES list of star citizen resources is due the present list being originally the XES one that it now replaces and supersedes.
