New Reward Tiers and T-shirt designs
Hello Kickstarters!
Thank you again for all the continued support! We're really excited at the positive response to our current stretch goals. Before revealing our next stretch goal we want to act on a few of the suggestions the community has had.
First off, we are introducing two new tiers. At $90 we’ve created the Digital Tier that gives you everything from the $100 tier that is available in digital form. You get an alpha game access key, an alpha commander, the digital art book, and all of the previous rewards including the progenitor commander. Many of you have been asking for this tier as you don’t want to deal with physical items, but you still want alpha keys and commanders.
The second new tier is the $150 Planetary Tier. Anyone who backs at the $150 level and above will have their name immortalized in the planet naming system. Whenever a star system or planet is generated we automatically come up with names for the individual planets. Those names will be pulled from a list of the $150 and above tier supporters. When we send out the survey at the end of the Kickstarter we will be asking for the name you would prefer to use here. It can be a nickname or a real name as long as it’s not vulgar.
Everyone has been asking for t-shirt designs and we’re excited to finally reveal them. At the $100 tier you get a single t-shirt. You can add on as many as you want of the additional shirts by adding $30 to your pledge for each additional shirt. At the end of the Kickstarter you will receive a survey that allows you to specify types and sizes.

Creator Logan T M Wilcox on September 14, 2012
Yes oskar $100 tier + shipping + $30 tshirt = $145 :D
Creator Michel Rowinski on September 14, 2012
Ja Oskar helt rätt.
Creator Oskar Svanberg on September 13, 2012
Did i do this right? I pledge 145 and thats for 100 tier + international shipping 15 + 1 shirt 30 =145 right?
Creator Neeraj Vyas on September 13, 2012
You guys are wrong. You get a single shirt at 100. You get a single shirt at 150 as well.
If you decide NOT to have a planet named after you, THEN the 160 dollars will get you 3 shirts. Otherwise you get the 150 tier and below, and the extra 10 dollars is just donation.
Therefore, if you want to have a planet named after you, you either have to pledge 180 to get 2 shirts, or you have to sacrifice a previous reward tier in the survey in order to save 30 for a shirt.
It's like an online shopping cart. You either are paying for the tier, or paying for extra shirt/game keys.
Creator Remi D. Finjord on September 13, 2012
@Niels: Click manage pledge, enter $175 as your amount (assuming you need international shipping judging by your current pledge), and still select the $100 tier.
Creator Niels Bjerregaard on September 13, 2012
i have pledge 116 now.. but i want two more shirt. how do i do that ?
Creator Abimilech on September 13, 2012
For 3 t-shirts, select the $100 tier (or higher), and pledge $160 (or $175 if you need to add international shipping). Then "When your reward is ready, Uber Entertainment Inc will send you a survey via email to request any info needed to deliver your reward (mailing address, T-shirt size, etc)."
Creator Niels Bjerregaard on September 13, 2012
Soooo
if i want all 3 t-shirt i just have to make two
more 40$ payments ??
Creator James Arthur Crocker on September 13, 2012
Why isn't there a shirt with "The Face" on it? (It's Scathis' face right?)
Creator Christian Grech on September 12, 2012
I would like to see a T-shit with "I don't Just play PA, I fund it" on the front and on the back have "because I don't play for realism I play for awesome!" (insert picture of john about to eat galaxy). That said I love the current designs :D
Creator Jason Prettyman on September 12, 2012
In the survey for the t-shirts can you have the dimensions of each size because not all small/medium/large are the same across different vendors. Thank you.
Creator Seth on September 12, 2012
love the black meteor/asteroid personally. blue ones nice too though (not my style in color)
Btw thanks for the great work guys.
Creator Dominus on September 12, 2012
Yellow Alpha Commander tshirt is the best
Creator Jeramy Staub on September 11, 2012
To be a bit more precise I like the Blue shirts front but the Yellow shirts back. Could you just put both of those together and it would be awesome.
Creator Joshua Alexander on September 11, 2012
The blue shirt looks awesome. I think a black shirt with that same color blue for the print would also look incredible, perhaps even more so! Just a suggestion.
Creator Jeramy Staub on September 10, 2012
I actually like the first one.
Creator Christopher Schultz on September 10, 2012
So, if I want to fund at the $50 tier and get a second game key, do I pledge $70 and just claim the $50-tier "reward"? Or, do I pledge $50 and then pay $20 later somehow?
Creator Michael Bernier on September 10, 2012
Hi, I pledge for the 20$ tier. If I add another 20$, do I only get the extra cd-key, or can I upgrade to the 40$ tier(or both?).
Creator carol b helms on September 10, 2012
Congradulations on reaching over $1,500,000 :-)

Creator Simon Høgh Albrechtsen on September 10, 2012
Chad: No if you get the 20 tier and pay 50$ extra, so that you pay 70$ in total you get 3 extra keys
Creator Chad on September 9, 2012
Question about this statement (it's not here, but it is on the main page):
"For all tiers: Extra game keys - Add $20 for each key, 3 extra keys for $50 "
So if I get the $50 tier, I get 3 keys total?
Creator Nikoli Prazak on September 9, 2012
I actually prefer a shirt with no back art. Fronts of Alpha and Prog are sweet. Backs both blow.
Creator Mitch on September 9, 2012
Is it at all possibly we could but a shirt without going to the $100 tier? I really just want the shirt!
Creator Ben Mauer on September 9, 2012
The alpha shirt, can we get the t-shirt in a different color perhaps?
Creator Simon Olofsson on September 9, 2012
I more fond of the Alpha Commander than the progenitor, but I like the back of the Progenitor T-shirt more... It wouldn't be possible to have the same back on both Progenitor and Alpha T-shirts?
Creator Joonas Rasimus on September 9, 2012
That Yellow shirt is frigging awsome !!!
Creator sixthugger on September 8, 2012
Remember, if you don't like a planet's name you can just BLOW IT UP!!!!!
Creator Jethro Seabridge on September 7, 2012
Keep it black on yellow, I really like it.
Creator Dane on September 7, 2012
Yellow on Black Alpha commander shirt would probably be my #1 choice, otherwise gotta go with the asteroid one as it is on a black shirt.
Creator Peter Batchelor on September 7, 2012
Will the t-shirts be available after?
Creator Nathanael Holmes on September 7, 2012
Alpha commander shirt is the best looking but who wears yellow? Please please please reverse the colours! Yellow on black would be way cooler!
Creator Xahni13 on September 7, 2012
A red Alpha Commander shirt would be awesome !
Or a black shirt with Red Alpha commander.. :)
Creator kenth myhre on September 7, 2012
This is FU cking awsome, excuse my language... BUT IT IS!!! Doubled my pledge, and more! =D Lets make this shit happen
Creator John Michael Guerrero on September 7, 2012
I'd love to get these as poster prints! :D
Creator Rhys K on September 6, 2012
That Alpha Commander shirt is wicked! But there's no way in hell I'm buying a yellow shirt!
Creator Shawn Murphy on September 6, 2012
I totally want a Red Alpha Commander Shirt.
If I jump to $150, can I name an Asteroid belt or other cosmic objects instead?
Also, will the design be extensible, so that if you don't hit all of the stretch goal they may be added later if sales are high?
Creator Mitchell on September 6, 2012
Supreme commander tried and failed to get a story going, its mostly a waste of time and money for nothing more than prebuilt scenarios with little-to-no adaptive challenge. Sins of a Solar empire did it right with an obligatory setting story and nothing else, and I think Planetary Annihilation should do the same.
Creator Martin N., Purple Llama of the O.O. on September 6, 2012
@William Davison yes, let's see how hopefully creative the game comes up with in the end. Wandering MMORPG's (what this one isn't) I can't stand those L337 hAx0R names anymore ;)
Creator Esteban on September 6, 2012
Will there be matchmaking in multyplayer ?
Creator Esteban on September 6, 2012
+ THROW MORE MONEY A THESE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT A SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creator Esteban on September 6, 2012
I agree with william davison
Creator Taylor Watson on September 6, 2012
rather than always random planet names I would of preferred standard names so it could be easier to get to know what planet your talking about. Really though people will probably say "The metal planet near home base" anyway so what does it matter.
Creator William Davison on September 6, 2012
Just like units have unique names, Planets should have them too. (;
Creator William Davison on September 6, 2012
I see not problem with Planets being named after people. I LIKE the idea. It is much easy to tell a friend to invade planet DOE then to invade planet 1354 Zulu. You have to remember that most people will be using nicknames (cool sounding names) and that Uber reserves the right of how to use the name in its naming system.
Creator Martin N., Purple Llama of the O.O. on September 6, 2012
That naming planets thing - sorry, that's a big turn off. I don't really want to see planets with peoples names all over the place. John Doe, Max Mustermann, Sven Svensson, Jean Dupont, Zhang Sang, Mehmet Mehmetcik, Pinco Pallino, etc...
Make the planets rename-able or an option to turn that "feature" off please!
Creator Marcin Wolny on September 6, 2012
Two questions:
1) In 150$ tier - can we limit the name of our planets to specific type if we'd like to? Cause some nicknames/ideas simply wouldn't fit the certain types, or perhaps someone simply doesn't want his name to be used on an alien space station?
2) someone asked about t-shirts without "backer" text - I'd prefer one as well if it's possible :) (ps. Alpha commander shirt got awesome back, pity I don't like anything else in it... lol - if you'll be making shirts with no backer text: more symbols, less robots! ;) )
Creator Marcin Wolny on September 6, 2012
Øistein Søvik - yea, you do. So did I. But I guess - it's worth it.
Creator Luke Grigsby on September 6, 2012
To get the Asteroid T-shirt do I need to up to 150? Stop tempting me!
Creator Øistein Søvik on September 6, 2012
I have just donated $150 to this awesome project. Do I still have to include 15 dollars for international shipping?
Creator Brian Holme on September 6, 2012
you can always pledge more and chose what ever reward you want you dont have to chose the highest reward available with what you pledge
