      If you do get citizen cards, please let us know what type (color/metal/etc.) and your location... trying to see when I should expect mine in the mail. So far I've only seen pics of White cards and non-metal Rear Admiral silver cards. It's hard to tell how far they are from China though.

      I've bought Aurora LX too thought I got Connie and planed to get i300/Hornet. But I decided that It might be useful to have simply ship at hand with LTI. Also thrusters of it made by "OKB Voskhod Energia IV" - I could not resist supporting Russian manufacturer. ;)

      Well, I believe there might be good news for you Nian:

      - There's actually a 2nd funding drive going on right now in order to reach the goal of $10,000,000. We've already beat the $9 million goal, only $0.8 million left!
      - In regards to Squadron 42 expansions, there are already 5 planned and funded for. The 1st will also be free to early backers :)
      - They said that flying as other races is a possibility in the far future, but nothing other than humans is on the boards right now

    11. Blakeliberator.small

      Creator Nian on May 2

      Maybe its time for a second kickstarter, to fund a massive expansion to Squadron 42. Or maybe a commander exchange with the United Empire of Earth and the Xi’An Empire. Could be fun, been a pilot in the Xi'An fleet.

      I hope I actually get my copy of the game, they screwed up the citizen card thing. If they cant get the simple stuff right, The game release aint looking too good.

    25. Alistair1.small

      Creator Jeroen on April 27

      Right, just added an Aurora to my pledge (LX model)
      I have the starter ship and the model above for Elite (sidewinder and Cobra mk3) and now I have the same with star citizen.
      I had backed for the 300i, the bounty hunter tier, and now added the Aurora. sure, I want a Freelancer some day - I will just have to trade a lot and earn the credit to buy one, and that is fine for me.

      for the people, interested in Elite. You can still back this project and get a copy :
      http://elite.frontier.co.uk/kickstarter.html
      the all digital £80 and the £90 and £100 (+£15 shipping) physical tiers include all real DLC (excluding cosmetics), as Elite will unfortunately have paid DLC. still, you can avoid this if you back for one of the higher tiers.

      @Godewijn. ROFL. Such an epic fail. Just kidding!! ;-) KS seriously needs an edit button... and instead of implementing one, they ruin the chat system by taking the pages away and giving us more of a twitter style feed. :-( But you're right, following this project is awesome fun in itself.
      Seriously, how cool is the "base" ship Aurora! Who else is getting the LX upgrade?!?! :D
      @Backers: Oh I should have mentioned two other projects that you might all be interested in. Worlds of Magic (A MoM inspired 4x game, with the original artist & D20 inspired tactical combat) as well as Battle Worlds Kronos (a turn based strategy) - just 20 hours left!! So, if that sounds like something you're interested in, I very warmly encourage you to follow the links. ;-)

      And if you are interested in a really great looking turn-based SP and Co-op RPG with a very unique dialogue system and a complete modkit/editor that will be released in October 2013, have a look at Dvinity: Original Sin. Larian Studios funded the complete development themselves (no publisher, complete risk!) so far but they are asking for a bit extra money now to be able to include more features and content. Give it a look/try, the team really deserves that at least: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/larianstudios/divinity-original-sin

      An act of friendship could be done with a skin, a model or something non gameplay impacting.
      Kickstarter is hot and cool because of all the indie stuff and NON publisher things with a lot of people and when these publisher things like exclusive items come into play I am dissapointed no matter how little impact the item may have ingame.

      Creator Frank Weiser on April 7

      @ Godewijn: Well spoken. We are talking about two people who know each other quite some time. Who worked together, nearly lived together. Same history, same company. They are both creative minds and not to forget, special. If not so, they could not make such great games. Think about it. This is fun. There will be other weapons to buy in the game, which will have the same effect etc. But think of this as an act of friendship, history and fun and everything is ok. I am more than happy to have both back in the biz. Add Brian Fargo and some other cool Devs in and whoohaa. Game changers! The good ol' pc times are back! GREAT :-)

      How do I connect the pledges (SOTA for the crossbow)? I have a different adrress here than on the RSI page.

    39. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Micky on April 7

      I am seriously disappointed in this special item, you can only get if you back something else (Especially since I think the SoTA Campaign is very far from my cup of tea to begin with - actually one of the main reasons for that is you you can get special items for RL cash that others will never be able to get, through KS).

      I know there is nothing I can do about it now, but I would never have pledged so much for this campaign, had I know you'd do things like this.

      Creator Monty on April 7

      I upped from the first responder to $40 for the crossbow, as stated on the comments of SoTA... only way to get it I am afraid, I just look at is at the equivalent of purchasing some skins...

    42. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Alan Ellis on April 7

      I hope they allow the crossbow in Star Citizen for the First responders as we get the same stuff as the $40 tier. Shouldn't be treated unfairly for getting in early.

      From: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/last-chance-to-support-shroud-of-the-avatar/

      The Shroud of the Avatar Kickstarter campaign is drawing to a close! Chris Roberts’ friend and colleague Richard “Lord British” Garriott is holding a 24-hour end-of-campaign event to celebrate. Shroud of the Avatar has made the initial goal, but there are still alost a million dollars worth of stretch goals to catch… including Oculus Rift support at $2.5 million dollars! Show your support for old school RPGs and a return to the kind of game design that went into the Ultima series by pledging now.

      One special addition for Star Citizens: Richard has just announced that Shroud of the Avatar will feature a crashed Vanduul fighter in the game world as well as an alien artifact from the Star Citizen world that you can use in the game!

      Here’s the stream, where Richard is currently interviewing Chris:
