Re: Elite: Dangerous - and the return

[Selezen]

Scratch that...WE'RE DONE!

£1,501,793

I've updated the Elite 4 page on the wiki, filling out the page with a synopsis of the game (copied from the Kickstarter). Also have added the E:D logo.

Maik has helped out by editting the front page of the wiki (which is read-only for most wiki editors).

Great, really pleased we got the 10 extra ships stretch goal, the original 15 always seems a bit too low in my opinion
I hope an Oolite multiplayer group happens in the main game, will be fun for us all to load up a few anacondas with booze and knockoff Riedquatian tumble dryers and escort them through the core systems under the noses of the cops

Looks like the next stretch goal for the additional player ships may be a bridge too far however. Having said that you never know and we still have 24 hours.

The extra player ship stretch goal has just been reached

There's a new update on Kickstarter, with a new video on YouTube, here. Showing a lot of detail in a damaged Anaconda, plus the first sight of a Cobra MkIII, actually docking!

No mention of another stretch goal though. I doubt there will be another with less than 5 hours to go.

Mrs Shipbuilder is going to kill me as I've just upped my pledge to £90 to get a physical copy of the game along with any future updates.

I did notice while updating my pledge that you could accidentally increase your pledge but forget to tick the rewards option.

For those of you who have pledged it may be worth you checking that you have definitely selected your rewards otherwise you will simply contribute to the fund but not receive anything.

A Cobra Mk3 docking to the Blue Danube again.

Sorted.

Cheers,

Drew.

No, there are Pledge Upgrades available. If you increase your pledge from the reward level there are some additional rewards you can claim:

Pledge upgrades are unlimited and available to all tiers of £30 or more. Simply up your pledge by the total of the items you would like (including additional postage if you are outside the UK), but keep the same tier on the “Manage my Pledge Screen”.

Please note: each of these items is separate – it does not include all the previous items.

Once the Kickstarter campaign for Elite: Dangerous has completed successfully we will ask you how you want the additional funds allocating (ie the amount over and above your selected tier), and then provide the additional items as described on the dates described.

+£5 Have a digital copy of the official sequel to “The Dark Wheel” (Delivery March 2014)
+£5 Have a digital copy of the Elite: Dangerous soundtrack (Delivery March 2014)
+£5 Pick one of the ship decals, at least 10 will be available, they can be used as the decal to access the Founders' World (Delivery March 2014)
+£15* Have a physical paperback copy of the official sequel to “The Dark Wheel” (Delivery March 2014)
+£20* Have a physical CD of the “Elite: Dangerous” music (Delivery March 2014)

+£50* Have an “Elite: Dangerous” mug and “Elite: Dangerous” T shirt with “I backed Elite: Dangerous” on the back shipped to you (Delivery February 2013)

+£50* Have a signed (by David Braben) physical hardback copy of the official sequel to the Dark Wheel (Delivery March 2014)

EDIT: For example, I upped my pledge to £330. Keeping the pledge level at £300 for the Design Decision Forum, I will claim the £25 reward of an additional digital copy of the game and the £5 reward of a digital copy of the followup to The Dark Wheel.

It would be a nice gesture if they were to add an additional player ship for each £10,000 raised over the £1.5million.

Edit I've actually asked this on the Kick starter page so let's see if we get a response.

the comments on the kickstarter move so fast, so in case it gets lost forever in the noise here's a link to a kris Avery's fan made film - basically a love letter to the cobra III, it's ace!

I can't view it on my phone. Can't justify setting up the laptop just to watch it.
