As I recall they were pretty clear in the Kickstarter that it wouldn't be subscription-based, though exchanging money for credits would be used as a funding method. (As would "selling the game and expansions", of course)El Viejo wrote:A thread concerning post-release funding (MP server costs etc) has caught my eye.
There is speculation that some form of subscription may be involved - is that likely?

We do not plan to make it subscription-based. Once you have purchased the game up front, you will be able to play thereafter for no further cost. Everything in the game will be purchasable with in-game Credits, earned from trading, bounty-hunting, etc. We will probably allow the supplemental purchase of Credits with real money, for those who want to accelerate their progress through the game.
We do plan to charge for additional updates, to be available sometime after the original release. These will offer additional content, features and gameplay.
Thanks, cim... there's too much to wade through if you haven't been following the KS/forum (reams of fluff there) from the start. I suppose real money for in-game credits is a necessary evil these days... but the whole idea is abhorrent to me personally. One more nail in the MP coffin, methinks!Kickstarter FAQ list wrote:Will the game be free to play after the initial purchase?

Wasn't Commander Cody an old Film serial or perhaps a Radio Play ? I can't seem to find the reference, maybe it was something that sounded like Cody.............El Viejo wrote:If it's approved, I'll be Commander Cody (which has been my in-game moniker for many years).
There are several Codys - Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen (a favourite band of mine), Buffalo Bill Cody (famous wild-west showman) - and the one I took the name from: Samuel Franklin Cody (he too was a showman, but also a notable pioneer of manned kites and early aviation). A remarkable man, in many respects.Styggron wrote:Wasn't Commander Cody an old Film serial or perhaps a Radio Play ?

I'm off to a good start, it would seem (although I do have a Rep of 11, due to other more favourable comments).A really poor comment with no soul.
