Greatest game of all time or biggest disappointment, it could really go either way. But, I made a contribution w/ my wallet, so I sleep well knowing I made a contribution. I reckon it's going to be neither. It's just going to be passable upon release with content added along the way making it's universe richer - but that will only happen with time. In short it's just going to be another MMO type game with MMO type problems. I'll still play it but doubt it's going to be what the hype makes it out to be.

Everyone keeps saying there is nothing out there and its just good pr. But they do have a playable demo that supports up to 16 players and you can walk around the bengal and watch the action or jump in a fighter. There is no video of it but if you are a paying member and you set up an appointment you can go down to their studio and play it.
They have a lot more than what everyone thinks they have and they better with less than 6 months till the dogfight module comes out.

and yet without those fools this game would not ever have been made. If every one of the unique backers only bought the 30 dollar game (or even the 60 dollar upgrade) they would not have covered enough money during the KS campaign to make the game.
So if you have any interest in playing this game (at any price) those fools allowed you to make this game. And if the ship prices were cheaper, again, they would not have made enough to play this game.
Most of the people who backed the game and gave lots of money didnt do it for the perks. LTI is almost useless to be honest because they have stated time and time again that in game insurance wont cost much. They did it because this is the first space game in a long time that actually is doing what we have wanted in a space game for years.
So you can slag it all you want but if the price was cheaper there wouldnt be a game and without those fools there would not be a game. If you dont like it just wait for the game to officially release at a standard price. No one is forcing anyone to pay high prices. We did it because we have faith and want this game to be made.

Hey Wodin- the solution is simple. You don't have to pay anything, and you don't have to play it.

I have over stepped the mark saying that..sorry..I just wouldn't nor could I afford to plump down say $200 on a game that hasn't been made yet. I'm sure over the years many many games have either been stopped after loads of work was done as it turned out to be unplayable or not fun for many many reasons, even games that sound great on paper and spring from great minds have probably been scrapped. Infact I bet more games haven't reached the shelves than have and then take in how many games have sounded amazing..only to end up mediocre or worse..Thats why I couldn't risk that sort of money on a game that hasn't been completed. Great artists, great directors and great game developers make rubbish, but mainly decent to good and then just a handful if that are classics, even though I bet the intentions for all those games\films etc where to make the best they'd ever make.
I actually hope it does well. Also no doubt at some point in the future I will pick it up, as I said the only issue I have with it is the insurance thing which to me is abit of a scam.

Wouldn't it suck to own a high end ship, but it takes you a year to build up to the rank and/or skills that allow you to use it? LOL That would be pretty much par for the course in games like this. Even if not going the military route, you should have to know what you're doing before taking over a big ship, not to mention crew it and afford to pay the crew.

Can someone please explain something to me about Kickstarter?
I think I understand the principle that a developer uses it to 'collect' money for their gaming project.
When you make a 'donation' is that money taken from your account there and then?
If so,what happens if the game never materialises,is that money 'lost'?

Thanks for the reply Master.So is there no regulation by KS itself then?
That would make me very wary of making a 'donation'. Maybe not to someone like Chris Roberts with his track record but small Indie companies for sure.

I suspect there will be a slew of KS campaigns running away with the money. The thing is projects take so long to do it will be a while before they start showing up. I have no doubt there will be plenty of projects that rip off the donors. Probably small projects with low goals they can quickly meet, then run and it will be a year before anyone even knows it. That's the problem I have with it. I've tried it once, with a group that wanted to make a sequel to a game I really like. I wouldn't do it for a nobody.

Yeah. It's hard to trust someone without a track record.
I think the only reason this kickstarter has been so successful is because of Chris Roberts.

I think the only reason this kickstarter has been so successful is because of Chris Roberts. That and also the lack of any new space sims in over a decade. The succes was also the platform for more new space sims announcements, either small or "big" projects, lis Elite:Dangerous or Limit Theory,
