But really, Chris Roberts is a pretty limited guy, he has made ONE game, over and over and over again. Sure he keeps making the coffee sweeter and tastier, but it's still coffee.

But but ... I love coffee

There will (hopefully) be some anouncement today (in about 10 hours) with a four hour live stream. Today is the last chance to get ships with lifetime insurance.

provide extra funding to make it a true spiritual successor to Wing Commander!

So was it not before? pretty sure they claimed it would be when they asked for only 500k.

Not calling scam, but it makes me uneasy how comfortable they are with asking for more and more and more money. surely there is a point at which you have all the money you need and the only restraints are time and such.

Yeah they are riding the wave far to readily, it is suspicious. If they said they could make the game with their original goals why does it require an extra million dollars to sell people a new ship?

Isnt it "more money, for more shit at release", opposite to "less money, less shit at release, but you will get those with patchs later if the game runs well" ?

Content generation is virtually infinite for a game of this type. The number one limiting factor is money.

Also, the kind of coffee he sells is some REALLY GOOD coffee. The competition in that genre is virtually absent right now, so it's no wonder many people are itching to give him money so that someone finally makes a new game in that genre.

Space combat sims is not the only genre in severe lack of activity right now. Take city builders for example. The unanimously best one is SimCity 4, release date 2003. In ten years nobody has been able to make something better, and the wound has only grown with Maxis infamous attempts. If some clever guy started a solid crowdfunding project with the intent of filling that gap I would be personally interested.

From what ive understood from past crowdfundings is that the more money, the more stuff at release and more polish. The original first goal is usually just for the release of something halfdescent. I quess they just keep asking till they get nomore. Which, wouldnt u agree is wise. Cause why ask for less and make less, when you can clearly get much more and do more.  As long as they keep their first goalammount reasonable and see to its release.

Yeah I agree.

When was the last time we saw an AAA space fight sim, like Freespace 2 or Freelancer?

Freespace 2 Was released in 1999, Freelancer in 2003.

 Or I don't know turn based action game or point and click adventure?

these genres seem kinda dying out, sadly

Even if not counting X: Rebirth, X3: Albion Prelude is an excellent game, but not that close to the actual space combat genre. It's closer to a management game with some combat aspects. Especially in late game, as you don't really "fight" anymore when in control of huge capital ships.

Yeah, and the mother was giving birth during a parachute drop. The umbilical cord sadly didn't hold.
