Elite on Kickstarter...

[Firefox]

Price of a well specced R8 ragtop away now.

£135,000? That must be some option package!

[Portland]

Give this code a rock ACHWYYG2

That's without many extra toys, just brakes upgrade and the good engine.

Dude at work got one and someone crashed into it the day he picked it up

Holy cow! I did not realise they were that expensive!

I bet whoever that was felt a bit sheepish.

Average pledge is 58 quid. That's quite indicative of how much some people want to see this game happen.

[Misfit]

I find myself tempted to splurge on the premium boxed version. But they need to confirm there is more in it than a T-Shirt (rumours some of the art will be in it).

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

This is gonna go right down to the wire I think.

[gravy]

It's more exciting than the game will probably be

[oxo]

I'll piss myself laughin if it doesn't make it

[adam]

i was thinking earlier on he'll be kicking himself for setting it at 1.25 instead of 1.2 if it doesn't quite get there

All servers will be run by Frontier, but they are building in a failsafe for the future should they ever decide to switch them off, so that you can still play single player.

Until then you have the option for permanent offline single player

OR

synced single player - limited group multiplayer - unlimited multiplayer

The last 3 share the same universe, so what happens in SSP, LGMP or ULMP affects the other 2 - BUT in SSP you are the only PC and in LGMP you only play with people you want to - so no griefing

I like these options a lot.

I dont fancy true online (especially with paid for stuff), but a forum galaxy would be great.

Ooh. I never played the original, I heard a lot about it, but that's vicious.

[Portland]

Going to need a last wee push...

I'm not donating any more - I want to see it happen, but not to the point where I and financially embarrassed.

The target figure is pretty high. I still maintain that they may scrape through - but you're not going to see stretch goals met.

[venusian]

It's as good as done. They'll do £1.5M now, I reckon.

Phrased badly on my part there, big lover of Elite and pledged £150 for this to happen. I should have said "even more exciting"
