Don't worry! You can still upgrade your pledge even after the campaign ends!
So if you can't decide, go for the $65 one now and upgrade later if you wish to!
You can upgrade your pledges by going here:

Register with the same email on RSI you used in your Kickstarter account.
Pledges done on Kickerstarter will be merged soon.
I'm wondering the same thing. I made an account there but I can't find any way to use it for anything.
Oh then everything is cool.

That's the stuff! Don't forget to set "void-singer" as your referral though! We need to realize the dream of the "FREE BEER"!

This shit is INSANE. I've promised myself not to back anything this months, bot God help me, it's too difficult not to give this man all the money in the world.

I second this. Can I pledge 10 now and add 50 later?

Yup looks like it'll hit $6m. Orchestral score, bitches!

Refreshed the Kickstarter page a few times and managed to snag a 30$ digital tier pledge that someone backed out of. Busy season for gaming expenses means I can't really afford to pitch in any more.
You can update your pledge at any time for the first 12 months. inside your account on the website it will say your pledges , pledge customization. So you can upgrade your pledges or add on ... add ons lol.
I don't think you can do just 10. I think you have to do the $35 pledge. That gets you the Rsi aurora and alpha beta.
5.6m with just over 6h left. I think they will hit 6.2 or maybe even 6.5 million at this point
I managed to do the same a few days ago.

Don't forget you can still upgrade your pledge afterwards!
Even after the campaign ends! So just decide on the lowest common divisor and upgrade later. :3

I would think that the $30 pledge is good enough for those of us that managed to snag one, I might upgrade later once I'm back to work but right now while on medical leave I can't afford to give more
You can upgrade for the next 12 months. I did freelancer and if the game is good and I like it enough I will double the pledge to the $250 level.
yea of course , I was speaking of whats avalible now to pledge at . I think as long as your pledge includes the game your okay. I don't think you could do the $5 kickstarter pledge and expect to be able to upgrade to the $250 pledge in 11 months. Know what i'm saying ?
You can earn anything on kickstarter in the game. For example they have ships from the aliens avalible during the kickstarter. The only way to get this in the game is to enter combat with one , disable it and board it . But you can get it .
All game items will be purchasable in game.
The only difference between the ones we pay for during the crowd funding and in game items is that we have unlimited insurance/warranty on the ships...
where as, they'll have a mechanism to pay for insurance on ships (to allow for respawning) in the game.
If they're sane, I imagine that this is something that will hold true once they're live - pay a lump sum cash payment up front to 'always have' the ship...
Or, pay an upkeep (dependent on how often you die) in in game credits to retain the ship.
Wow, awesome news guys! Well .... not for my poor wallet. But awesome nevertheless. I feel I rightly contributed a good amount!
I am assuming my Kickstarter contribution will be added to my account on the webpage at some point in the future?

backed. Big of fan of the cat killing series, especially wc3, in spite of the cheesy fmv.

Well I want music like in WC 1-3 but with live instruments so NAI.I don't want this actually
Ouch, can't imagine being a non-pledge peasant post-launch.
Unless of course you're part of a group that owns a Bengal.
At least we already have an emergent space pirate caste made out of people needing money to pay for their garage and stuff.

Is anyone on the chat? I wanted to ask if we will be able to make our own skins/paint jobs for our ships. But I can't get on to ask
Something similar has been asked already. Paint-Jobs will be possible AFAIK.
Not sure about custom decals though. I could ask, being in chat, but it's crowded in so many questions already, I cannot guarantee for anything.
I don't want this actually

This game will need music like "Miner Stories" from Eve Online. Seriously, that song gets you really in the mood to just float through space. Especially the part from 1:08 onwards..
Music in Question
Music in Question
Based on the sample Roberts posted a few days ago I fear we'll just get tacky orchestra arrangements beamed straight out of the early 90s.
EVE Online has some of the best music ever, it's simply perfect for space exploration. Orchestral soundtrack makes my heart sink, it needs to be electronic music.

I thought the garage was if you wanted to house multiple ships? Did you need a garage for one ship?
