    Well said sir!

    This is the equivalent of getting 75,000 preorders two years before the game is even released.

    Thank god there are people like Chris Roberts in this world! The message is loud and clear - there is millions of pounds of money to be made from the PC market - you just have to give us games that are made for our system and not dumbed down console ports.

    Between this, Battlefield 3 and Planetary Annihilation, we are very very lucky to be proud PC gamers!

    $5,650,000 done! Onwards to $6m! Huzzah!

    No real benefit for someone that has already pledge as far as I can see, so probably not.

    So, I know it’s very early, but is anyone keen on getting a Bit Tech Squadron going? We can provide escort on trading runs etc

    We need to come up with a name, and if anyone out there is a dab hand with photoshop, maybe a logo?

    The pledging certainly exploded in the last week :D I wish I had some extra money to spend to jump to a higher pledge, give these good people some more money to make this game the greatest ever :p

    [EDIT] A squadron would be awesome. My photoshop skills are lacking though....

    I just got some money today, which I did not expect. However, with bills to pay and my house being invaded by a load of ZiiP members in 2 weeks and the need to buy food and beer, they shall take priority over this and I will buy on release. At least they made their targets (and then some!).

    Only problem with that is:
    I have the 3 Ship Killers... The Constellation, The Drake, and a Vanduul Fighter.
    You will be actively and aggressively hunted at any and all opportunities.


    We can do...

    Dual leadership, I say. One in charge of commercial entities and one for militar/ police (Me :dremel:)

    If they allow us to continue adding stuff after payday, they'll end up getting an order for every ship in the pledge list from me.

    Same here, but at the same time, at least if you don't buy the highest pledging tiers now, it gives you more to work towards in the final game :D

    You could just buy the cheapest tier now (think its $10) - that would allow you to upgrade later when you have some money.

    Round table, everyone has a vote, but given your armada of ships I'm sure you'll be able to handle most of the military stuff with ease!

    I think that is the idea! If we reach $6m today, no reason why they wouldn't keep it open to further fund development.




    Oh and just blown past $5.8m! :rock:

    Cheesecake Relix?


    Just noticed that at 15:30 we broke 5.8mil, and 15 minutes later added 30k.
    At that rate we would break the 6mil point just after 5pm GMT!!!!

    Personally, I will be freelancing. I don't care which side I fight for. You pay me, I do the job.
