2. They support developers before the game is released (even before alpha).
3. There will be no ship that one cannot buy or get in-game.

So basically, leave the spenders alone or praise them that they are adding to the development of awesomeness out of their wallets.

I myself would buy a cool ship if I had spare money, not to get advantage over other, but to have more fun in game.

Though I start to see the strech goals as a way of milking more money as such functions (Hibernation, pistol) should be no-brainer.
It's like adding arrows to Tomb Raider for reaching final strech goal when the bow itself is an iconic weapon.

Also, it feels as eternity untill alpha.

Just so I get this straight.. are people really spending 250 dollars, on a ship? Like spending 250 dollars... on a Liberty Navy Guardian or something?

And 100 people have just bought basically a Liberty Carrier, for 1,000 real usd?

Quote:Class I — basic protection; essentially a plastic bag. Think a Tyvek suit. Class I suits protect against vacuum during a hull breach but they can’t be worn for EVAs.

Class II — This is the “standard” suit for non-military pilots. Keeps you safe in the cockpit and is maneuverable enough in combat. Has limited EVA capabilities, although to do anything effective in zero G you need attachments that will slow it down.

Class III — Heavier civilian suit. A little slower and less maneuverable than the class II, but has increased armor. You’ll have a harder time moving around in boarding, but you can take more hits.

Class IV — Military suit, as seen in the Squadron 42 trailer. This suit is armored to protect against cockpit damage, has various self-repair features, advanced tactical display, etc. Roughly as effective in EVA as the class II is in a boarding operation.

Class V — Advanced Military Suit. This is a much more expensive and rarer class of suit. Think the difference between a standard fighter pilot suit and the ones worn by an SR-71 crew.

Class VI — Marine armor. Too bulky to wear in a cockpit, but much more effective in boarding operations. A pilot wearing a class III suit might fly a cargo load of his friends in class VI suits to attack a freighter.

Class VII — Heavy Marine Armor. This is a heavy weapons suit with mech upgrade for carrying heavy weapons.

Class VIII — Full blown EVA suit, similar to a modern space suit with an MMU.

Class IX — Full blown mech suit. Somewhere between a space suit and the power loader from Alien. These repair the outsides of large ships, move heavy objects in hangars, etc.

Leave the spenders alone? I wasn't attacking, just clarifying. Re-read.

Reminds me of when I waited for the "10 10 10" countdown.

However, I'm afraid that this livestream will be too late for most europeans (who work). Maybe I'll watch the first few minutes.
