Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous - Kickstarter!
Kicktraq just had it trend towards 100% for the first time.
The current progress rate, however, is more than 10,000£ per hour, so I expect more than that.

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous - Kickstarter!
I havn't used Kicktraq for any other KSes, but I have to say, I'm pretty unimpressed with it. I prefer Andrew Winter's Elite stat's page for this particular project, as so far, its been pretty spot on imho.
Kicktraq just isn't very accurate.

Andrew Winter has a webpage for the stats in addition to the one on the Frontier Developments forum. http://www.elite-stats.co.uk/projects/elitedangerous/OneoftheLost wrote:I prefer Andrew Winter's Elite stat's page for this particular project, as so far, its been pretty spot on imho.

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous - Kickstarter!
Oh man. It was getting close there, I was genuinely worried when I first pledged.
So HAPPY that this worked out the way it did! The stretch goals are exciting, but I'm just happy to see Elite Dangerous get funded!
WOO!
I can't wait to fly with you folks if you guys are up for it.

As I pledged over £300 I'm going to be a design decision forum member sometime this month, and in a year's time I will get my hands on the private alpha test version!

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous - Kickstarter!
I have said this before (many times in fact) but I will say it again. Elite fans are the best fans in gaming,
they are told the space sim genre is dead, they never give up on it,
if it doesn't exist they create it,
if it doesn't work, they fix it,
if it needs help, they provide it,
if it needs support, they back it.
I am so proud of you all, today is as much your day as it is David's and the best thing of all, it's not over yet. Lets see if we can reach those stretch goals!

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous - Kickstarter!
Looks like one of the £5,000 pledges has pulled out. There's a spot open for dinner with Braben and crew.
If you have a spare 5K laying around, now's your chance!

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
