Thoughts for the Kickstarter campaign

[Topperfalkon]

I’m certainly more than happy to be giving feedback if I purchase the $250 package.

[case]

Yup, my intent is the $250 tier as well.

[dekaku]

Keith clarified that if you at least purchase something during the kickstarter period, then you will continue to have access to the kickstarter tiers after the campaign.

Rough draft #2 of our Kickstarter reward tiers

The plan is that those of you who pledge Kickstarter will have access to Kickstarter prices should you wish to upgrade at some point in the future. That being said the Developer Access+ tiers will close as we get close to Alpha and the Alpha tiers will close as we get close to Beta. For those who don’t pledge the Kickstarter most of the tiers will remain open but at a higher price. All limited edition goods available through the Kickstarter will become permanently unavailable after the game ship…

My plan is to fund as much as I can afford now, and then upgrade as soon as I can to reach the Dev Access tier.

…or maybe the KS video will cause me to convulse at checkout and somehow add $250 to the pledge

If that is still true, then it would be perfect. Would allow me to ease the burden of the 250$ tier over a couple of months.

Bouncing between 500 and 2.5k. I feel like a terrible person, but the statue attracts my monetary interest so hard… but is it worth it is the true question.

[Skyentist]

Yes!

Since the kickstarter is coming very soon, how do you want us to spread the hype after it launches? Surely everyone here will throw in their share, but we need more people.

[Tjafaas]

I don’t understand: both tiers have the statue, right?

[Kreydis]

My brain just exploded a bit, never noticed that. I’ll have to change my motive into naming a planet kreydis, and shelling out a couple copies to the good folks.

[INovaeHutchings]

We’ll have information on evangelism here on the forums when it’s necessary.

[Sean]

I’ll probably go for the Alpha $75 pack.
But I need to be able to back the game some other way than KickStarter,
since KS still doesn’t support paypal :S

@INovaeKeith, will this be possible??

[INovaeKeith]

After the Kickstarter yes, during the campaign the only way to back the project will be through what’s available on Kickstarter unfortunately.

[Arkenbrien]

Random off-topic question: Will more than one bobble head be able to be ‘equipped’?

[INovaeKeith]

At the moment the plan is for one bobble head at a time but that could change. It may also depend on the cockpit (some have more space than others). For now assume 1 at a time but it’s technically TBD.

Finally after nearly a decade of wait the hype train is coming to its first station.

I wonder how long it will take for it to reach its final station

[lolsparta4]

No, each blog post and update was a hype station. The final station would be the release of the MMO. Still quite a long way to go.

[kamui]

there’s a song about this… it’s called “long hype train coming…” from the doobinovae brothers. I let you find @Hutchings in the picture

and also " Hear my hype train a comin’ " by Flavien Hendrix

[Sean]

Thanks for the awnser and sorry for the late reply,
can I still get alpha and beta pledges after the Kickstarter?

[selbie]

From what I understood of Keith’s post, yes as long as you make a pledge amount during the campaign.

[Sean]

I think you misunderstood my question.
I can’t pledge during the KS campaign, because I don’t have a credit card, and KS does not support Paypal.

I was wondering if I’ll be able to get an Alpha or Beta package after the KS campaign.
I understand you can keep funding the game directly after KS, but I don’t know if Alpha or Beta access
is still available then.
