$15 million Additional flyable ship class: escort carrier The Upgrade Handbook: an extra 42-page manual that walks players through the process of customizing and overclocking their ship systems! (PDF free to all backers before $15 million)
I wonder if it has even happened in the history of gaming, that a game has raked in this much money from customers before any sort of code has been released. That is what happens when customer relations are made priority. Cheers to us and RSI!
I agree , the build up to this game is KILLING me but i love it at the same time. They talk about being immersed in the game i feel that already , CR has started something BIG in the PC game world . I think we will see a lot more games come to life this way ,and say good bye to the COD ,BF , same old bullshit that they feed us with . All Hail CR o/

I read this and all I could think of was this... Paranoia the Role-Playing Game The Computer is happy. The Computer is crazy. The Computer will help you become happy. This will drive you crazy. Being a citizen of Alpha Complex is fun. The Computer says so, and The Computer is your friend. Many traitors threaten Alpha Complex. Many happy citizens live in Alpha Complex. Most happy citizens are crazy. Which are more dangerous traitors or happy citizens? Rooting out traitors will make you happy. The Computer tells you so. If you are not happy, The Computer will use you as reactor shielding. Being a Troubleshooter is fun. The Computer tells you so. Do you doubt The Computer, citizen? Troubleshooters get shot at, stabbed, mangled, incinerated, poisoned, stapled, blown to bits and accidentally executed. This is so much fun many Troubleshooters go crazy. You work with many Troubleshooters. They all carry lasers. Aren't you glad you have a laser too? Won t this be fun? Stay alert! Trust no one! Keep your laser handy! Back on topic... I really like the Hibernation Mode news! The arena is rather meh for me, but I guess it could be useful for dogfight training.
Hibernation I would have thought would have been in earlier. The ability to log out wherever and whenever you wanted is pretty much a standard these days. For me it's far more important than an arena as I would hate to spend 10+minutes to get to log out location.
Yeah exploration would be seriously cramped without hibernation - fly for hours to find a good spot then have to turn around and go back to logout rather than continuing on later? Bleh.
Happiness is mandatory, failure to be happy is treasonous, are you happy citizen? Ahhh those we're the days when it was considered a successful mission if everyone got out of the briefing room without too many deaths.
Well, add me to the growing lest of backers, I couldn't risk missing out on the pistol, thanks Zhul I'm officially citizen #211212 https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/Cheeseman
I AM GLAD YOU ARE HAPPY, CITIZEN. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OWNING A LASER PISTOL HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO HAVING AN ORANGE CLEARANCE LEVEL. PLEASE PROCEED TO THE NEAREST TERMINATION CHAMBER FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION. HAVE A NICE DAY.
