Elite on Kickstarter...

[defsdoor]

Looks likely now - 35k ish to go.

[RiK]

Yeah, storming home now by the look of things.

[Sir_LANs-a-lot]

14.5K in 25 hours? (To hit the Mac stretch goal)

I'll be amazed if it doesn't get there.

Mac version funded, now heading for the 1.5mm goal and 10 extra ship designs in base game on launch

[Bod]

[Xstreme]

Brilliant

Mac version funded, now heading for the 1.5mm goal and 10 extra ship designs in base game on launch

I stopped checking in on all this a while back, certainly didn't think there was any chance of a Mac version, but saw this about three minutes ago, and now... just back from the Kickstarter site. I'm in.

[Misfit]

£49k to the extra ships.

I'm still in on the £20 tier (currently spending more on a couple of the books!) and am wavering on the premium box set. Trying to resist, but actually getting a bit excited about it all now.

Glad there are no pics of the models as I quite fancy a Cobra at a laughable £500! (not going to happen)

[Misfit]

Apparently this is the largest Kickstarter goal to ever be funded.

how much money will kickstarter get from this?

There are worse deals. There's a machine in Morrison's near me that exchanges coin for vouchers that you can redeem in store, that charges 7%, when a bank would exchange them for notes for free.

But you have to sort them for the bank.

I'd happily pay the kids 10% to sort the massive bag of change we have, but they are having none of it...

There has to be a machine for that. It would be really easy to make one. A slippery board and some nails then chutes going to buckets.

You're clearly giving them too much pocket money

I always wonder why people use those rip-off coinstar machines - when they can just go to the Tesco self-service checkouts and dump all their change in the hopper instead and let it sort it all out for free
