Pets

[Lonestar the Kilrathi]

i think this is a good thing for the game in general. If WoW taught me anything cool mounts and pets are a really, really popular collectible and people really, really love collecting things. I was never a mount or pet collector myself, i was more of a raider, but there were whole guilds built around the idea of "mount runs" and pet trading. i also made quite a lot of gold by selling pets i'd happen across from time to time. (that damned parrot from dead mines made me rich i sold it so often.)

edit: in hindsight i see that in Star Citizen i very well will end up being a "mount collector" in that i want all of the ships. all of them.

I want my damn Repair Bear!

if they made a little bear that would idle by sitting down and start repairing a model or something it would make CIG 2 million dollars.

Space whale.... it flys along besides my ships and attacks my enemies with space whale sonic booms....

I also want a space monkey to ride on the space whale...

EDIT: 64 million stretch goal:
We’ve added a lot of ships lately, and so we’re making the $64 million goal a fun one.

• Pets – We have repair bots, we have fish… but we haven’t implemented a traditional pet system in Star Citizen yet. At $64 million, that changes. From Jones the Cat in Alien to the Battlestar Galactica’s Daggit, pets have a place onboard starships… and we want to give you that option in Star Citizen. Expect traditional terrestrial options, plus anything exotic we can dream up in the Star Citizen universe! (Those Torshu Grey crabs that keep escaping are just the start.) This stretch goal is in honor of Paddington, Strike Dog of the UEES Paul Steed. In one of our first videos Paddington helped us get to $4 million back in the initial campaign, and sadly passed away recently.
