The money goes directly to the five studios and over 500 employed developers. If you like to support the development and share the ambitions of developer CIG, you can buy more ships or other things for real money.

You can already buy ships for in-game currency (credits) in the game, but the game is currently still subject to regular database resets as long as it remains in Alpha. Nobody needs more in order to be able to play, because everything else is supposed to be reachable and buyable in the game.

This contains the digital version of the game, a hangar for ships and a starter ship. If you want to play Star Citizen, you have to buy a game package for about 50 $.
