      Is there anyway you could remove the mouse icon and do it kinda like X3 where the mouse only appears for clicking on things?

      Also are you guys going to update the HUD?

      We have sent them press releases every week or so for over a month, there was a mention about us in one of Saturdays articles, and John Walker said he was going to have Adam do a full article, but its not out yet.

      We are unsure at this time Joshua, we really want this to succeed, and we still can, we just need more backers.

      If for some reason the Kickstarter fails, will you try again later?

      Are there any other resources I could "like" such as a Google Plus account or any Tweets I can RT, or Twitter accounts?
