I think it will get to the Mac goal pretty easily. The last 48 hour rush hasn't hit yet and that seems to be a very real phenomenon...

Further stretch for extra ships and a teaser that the £90 hard copy with all DLC will come with a star chart a la Frontier.

Far too tempting...

I've upgraded my pledge to a divorce-possible amount. Dearly hope this can now live up to expectations.

If you don't want to disclose an amount, give us a hint (ie you'll be in the beta test)

I posted this 6 years ago - I figured if I really did want to play this game I had to put my money where my mouth was.

Space station naming?

Must admit, I'm giddy now. Will have to get Frontier on Dosbox.
