That's what I imagined when the campaign began, and I think that a fair amount of the initial pledges came from forum members. There is a strong faction from the E:D Kickstarter as well. But of course it's impossible at this point to link the number of pledgers (or indeed individual pledgers) to sums of money. I do sort of hope, though, that the contributions from forum members are significant.Selezen wrote:The fact that the Reclamation drive met its goal in 9 days shows how much support you (and Elite) have. It would be interesting to see how much of that goal was met through pledges just from members of this forum. The sheer power of Oolite?
Drew will of course get to know it all when the funding period is over. Most of the forum members are easily identifiable on Kickstarter as well. So he will be able to do cross checks.
What I find hugely satisfying about Drew's project and its success is that—through Drew as its representative—Oolite will have a certain presence in Elite: Dangerous. Not brazen or impertinent, but in all politeness and modesty confident and unabashed for who we are. Yes, I find that deeply satisfying.
It's almost like an acknowledgement by David Braben that we have carried ELITE's torch for so many years.
