Shit man, you brought one of them? I wanted to but just don't have money to burn like that, fucking student loans should give me more money!

It hurts a bit too but the concept of this game is incredible and anything to support the pinnacle of the PC Indie community, pushing boundaries in the right direction.
If we're still able to upgrade our purchases later on I'll probably go for a bigger ship though I'm looking to furfill that Battlestar Galactica fetish; huge ship, with a crew, nukes, gun batteries, launchable fighters.

[Casimir]

Yeah that kinda shit will be awesome, though i guess i'll have to grind for some time before i can get credits for that

Haven't pledged personally. Hell it's one year from now, anything can happen, and I spent way too much on games the last few months.

I think they're going to allow people to continue to pledge when it times out. It would be silly not to do so given their momentum.

Else, the 30$ one is pretty cheap, you get Alpha/Beta access, the full game and a nice beginners ship.

My only gripe with the game is the lasers really, I'd prefer gun batteries aka BSG.

Realistically, not a lot of weapon systems could be used in space. Electromagnetic cannons (like regular firearms except you just accelerate projectiles with a magnetic field), lasers, heatseeking/image recognition missiles (and a wide array of things those missiles could do, like landing troops for boarding, cutting the hull, activate an EM jammer...). Also if a documented technology is used as a propulsion mechanism for ships, it is probable that weapon systems can be derived from the same technology.

They have ballistics as well, look at those cycler's on the end of the fighter.   I think the idea is the military (Squadron 42) focus' more on 'high tech' weaponry (e.g. lasers, missiles etc.)  and privateers are supposed to be using rockets, ballistics.  Should be interesting as well as there will be some 'alien tech' available which should make for a nice mix imo.

fap, fap, fap...

And it finished at $6,234,394. So good to see this become reality...

looks fantastic, but seems like he wont be hitting his target.

called it.

wait...

Bought the $60 package 10 minutes before the timer ran out. I had no idea what this game even was an hour before that, so I was really lucky to make it through all the site errors as it was overloaded with traffic.

i really hope so, im counting on this, since there was a poll on the site asking the exact same question, and it was already ~70% on continue the backing option.

I don't want to be the party pooper, but if I read those comments in here correctly, it's pay 2 win at this point already?

More like pay2lose everything at start because they are all noobs and will most likely crash into an asteroid at the start of their flight
