Just a little feedback about the new interceptor. The idea is rrally smart and I’m surr more marketing on this way could help reaching stratch goals. It’s a very good thing. I found (am I the only one ?) the announcement a littlr negative. There is maybe more diplomatics ways to announce it than “no this, no that, no changes”…
I pledged 40$ for the 35$ reward tier (my pc cannot support the game currently). I could upgrade to 60$ to name a canyon or an ocean and see this name appear when people fly over it
I kinda feel like if there was a limited $60 tier that enables you to name ocean/desert or something, a lot of people would feel cheated for pledging the higher tiers, if anything they would expect that they also should name something since they pledged a lot more.
If there would be landscape naming tiers I’d probably start to put them at the $500 (or $550-$600 limited tier). The standard $2500 pledgers would also probably feel a bit cheated because of that so they’d probably have to be given the name a landscape thingie for free then, especially since it’s only 2 atm.
You have to remember that the tier systems almost unanimously work in… well a tier system. If you pledge at one tier and then upgrade, you most likely expect that you will get the earlier tier benefits as well.

Instead of having another cluttery recticle floating around, the name of the “zone” could be displayed no mans sky style, when one enters it.
Say I fly over a large named crater: The name of the crater apears at the top of the screen:
name (crater)
I would suggest adding this as a 300/350 dollar tier. I would immediatly up my dev pledge for that…

The lower naming tiers would have to be included in the higher ones. Luckily there are enough craters for everyone

This configurable (on/off in game settings) plus displayed on the map. It will help coordinate. "Lets meet up at the Sigma crater and then plan our attack route trough the Beleton Mountains.
I strongly agree with this.

Me too but I was suggesting 60$ because my wallet doesn’t support more atm 
I don’t think so tbh. I’ve had a lot of IRL troubles this week ( boiler broke in my appt, no heating, no water. Then I lost a teeth and had to go to the dentist. Then more stuff came in. Basically: bad timing, crazy week… ) which has delayed some of the stuff I’ve been working for the prototype. And there’s only a week left, which means it’s going to be too tight to show lots of new content. We’ll see.
We still have a few updates incoming though ( gameplay vid 3, gameplay cartoon and the Q&A video ).

Just noticed this comment from a new backer on the ED forums,
"I upped my pledge to $250 just on the basis of this proof of modding potential"
Maybe this video could be used elsewhere by everyone to bring in some extra pledges from people on the fence about making a pledge because they want modding.

I’ve just heard the name Derek Smart and possible involvement in this project. He tweeted very recently about knowing the devs and helping fund this project.
Without getting into a food fight and discussing his past, from which I am very aware from the beginning. Regardless.
Have the devs spoken out about his involvement?
This is very very worrying.
None whatsoever.
He’s not involved in any way.

There’s no business being done with DS other than him potentially being a KS backer
Shit i was supposed to go to bed an hour ago
Dear gods, why would you actually use his name?!?!? You know he’s space gaming’s Beetlejuice, right?

He merely posted in the KS comments claiming he can help fund the game if they don’t reach the goal.
Reminds me of that old April fools joke on the Infinity forums

Yes it’s only a game. But when my money is spent on said game and DS is possibly involved, I am worried ! Trust me.
