that's a huge advantage. imagine if ppl start disco on a gb or even bwt instead of a starflea or csv, with "insurance" while the rest of us never get far due to permadeath.

That's basically right! People who decided to pledge up can start with a, say, Guardian instead of a starflea. Or something on par with a gunboat or a transport. But I'm not sure where you're coming from with the permadeath bit, the lifetime insurance that comes with the ships is the same as standard hull insurance, which is going to be the most modest of the cashsinks in the game.

Covering equipment and cargo is where things get expensive and tricky. The hull is, really, the most basic component.

Besides, just because someone else decides to go crazy and pick up a Starfarer during a pledge drive doesn't mean that it's cut off to you . I doubt anyone could possibly foster such levels of stupid and entitled.

I'm not sure where you're coming from on permadeath, you may be a bit confused from some misinformation. But this article should help! https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-...A-Spaceman
