Fair enough. It looks really cool, though. I'm just hoping we'll get a game that'll allow us to do this:

Just sorted my pledge out, loving the amount of detail in everything so far.
KS takes 5% of the cut on their side but means people have more options on how to pay.

Since out-of-ship combat is now a go and Roberts mentioned the idea of boarders in suits using charges to open airlocks, I'd love nothing more than to put a charge on the glass cockpit of the Constellation and blow my way in through there.
There were some exclusive pledge goals on KS (you still would get them if you pledged on RSI) but after reaching $4.5 million all KS goals will be unlocked, so it doesn't matter anymore besides KS will get 5% of your pledge.
These systems we're unlocking... are they going to be MP only or are they for the SP/offline exploration mode as well?
Apologies if they're written somewhere in plain site on the RSI.com page. I never know what I'm looking for on that page (not gonna tell you how long it took me to find where to back it).

Well, to be fair Derek Smart and Chris Roberts aren't exactly comparable in terms of track record.
interesting question. i would guess both!
The 4 million update said something about 45 missions in squadron 42 (SP MODE) and a persistent universe with 50 (now 51) starsystems. I would hope that you can enjoy them SP and MP

I really want to Kickstart this but I absolutely don't have any money right now since I need all of my money to fund a move at the end of the month.
I'll have to pay full price when it releases, I suppose, and miss out on the perks.
But this game seems to be so awesome it will be worth it.

People forget you can still update your pledges later for this campaign!
So either use Kickstarter or RSI to pledge the lowest amount possible ($10?), you should have that amount laying around somewhere, collecting dust~
And then, even after the campaign ends, you can upgrade to whatever you wanted to get in the first place later!
Do it, recruit!
For the PC.
For the SPACE-SIM! *salutes*
Yes it did.
I thought they weren't going to pass Wasteland 2's numbers and now it looks like they'll crush the previous crowdfunding record for games. Thanks internet!

Oh, yeah? That's pretty awesome, I had no idea.
Remember when those first Black Prophecy screenshots were released and we were all excited that a real space sim might be in development but then it turned out to be a semi-lousy free-to-play MMO with no single player campaign and then the developer imploded and we thought that the genre was dead dead dead forever? Good times.
This will definitely hit $4.5M. Maybe even $5M.

Supporting this.
There will be, like Privateer. You buy food at an agricultural world, take it to a system full of mining operations, then buy raw materials there and fly to a manufacturing center, then buy manufactured goods there and take them to the agricultural planet. Etc. etc.

Yes indeed!
As soon as after you've pledged, go to your account settings:
You'll see a table with your current pledges. There is an "Update" button right there, which you can use to upgrade the selected pledge to get the higher rewards!

They really have to get ahold of this. It will be very bad during the 24 hour marathon if the website goes down...
Still working for me.
And oh man, a livestream with Garriott and other Origin staff of olde as guests?
And the potential of a flyable carrier?!?
Yeah, but imagine what insurance & fuel would cost you to run that beast, haha.
I am still a bit confused though on the whole integration of the online aspect. I honestly stay away from EVE cause its a completely player-drive world, with players that are far more advanced. So it is not very satisfying relying on others when you are a newbie. So if i have ways to achieve that huge ship through single-player activities thats great, and dont have to rely on doing MMO activities. But to me it only sounds like the military campaign is the only single-player aspect here.
How so? You'll could be a bounty hunter hunting AI pirates, a miner, a trader, an explorer looking for jump points to new systems, derelict ships, alien technology, etc. There'll be other people doing the same and you could interact with them ... or not. You could setup your own server and only be bothered by the AI.

You'd have enough money to afford it at that point.
