I was talking about Star Citizen. Also the only thing you will be able to buy with real money on the official server is in-game credits. This was confirmed by Chris on the KickStarter comment section.
As for Elite 4 - to be on topic

- , I have no idea what is their idea for the game. I read a few posts on the Net that make me think that the devs actually have no ideas themselves beside another Elite game. Their original idea was a MMO (doesn't mean it still is though), but right now the Kickstarter make it sound like they are copying the DarkSouls/Demon's Soul "system" for multiplayer.
There is some other "rumors" that make me think this game is vaporware though. Need more information beside dev creds.
