Now just to wait 20 days for my paycheck and hope I'm not broke as crap since I'll have to pay for two broken cars...

It's not a bad idea to use the kickstarter comments section for discussion.  Sites like kicktraq look at comment activity when deciding how to rank trending projects.

My comment from the other thread is still true:

The 40/50 tiers say "get the game in private alpha, estimated delivery January 2017".

The 65/80 tiers say "get the game in private alpha, estimated delivery May 2017".

edit - Every tier from 300 and up also says May 2017 for private alpha.

Yeah, might be a good idea that. Everyone over to the Kickstarter comments! :)

Nevermind, Chris answered it on the KS comments. :)

Ah the hell with it. $65 so I can name a planet "Sacrificial Victim."
Though I'll probably compile a short-list from The Culture series and share them all in case others at that tier want to follow suit.  I put some here a few weeks ago.

Congrats on the kickstarter! I'll be pledging later tonight after I get home :) haven't been involved in any of the design document discussions but am looking forward to this!

Excellent, it's finally here. Only the third game I've ever bothered to Kickstart and I find I'm disappointed that the station design tier sold out so early, despite not having a scrap of artistic talent. Best of luck with the rest of the campaign, I'm off to start spreading the word...

Not me.  Pinged the team to see though.

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

The Arcen Facebook page has the announcement up and running. Erik is the one who has the AI War's page info though. I only have the general Arcen pages'.

I was amused until I saw it was a Culture reference. To keep ourselves out of trouble we're going to be a bit strict with name suggestions, so watch out.
