'Calm down, dear... it's only a commercial!'

"Job" done 🙂

Now I just have to mentaly justify to myself spending 1000 euros in a game that I will only play in 14 months or so...

Now that's dedication to the cause.

Geraldine should get honorary membership of the Foreign Legion. In recognition of her solo 15 year trek across the Elite desert.

Hey, me too ! 

Hey, me too ! 

Bah, we all know you are a Revelation Space fan instead 😉 (ok, also :P)

For those wondering how to spend about 1k euros (i.e. no one), lets just say that 7 successful book pledges, including an expensive special reward in one and a DDF main pledge with international shipping don't come cheap.

But in a way, I'm happy that the £750 pledge Planet + party are sold out. My will is quite weak when it comes to being tempted (everything else I resist prettty well ;))

Moving thread to Elite Dangerous forum.

They have done pretty well in the last two days, managed to get the Mac target.

DB looks relived in this vid.

So, they made it. Kudos. I had my doubts and wasn't so sure they'd make it.

Anyway...lets get ready for some waiting.

Ahh, the thread has a new home - thanks, D1. <settles into a comfy chair and puts his feet up>

Steward - where's that damn coffee?

Still got 9 hours to go on the KS.

Good idea. (goes to make coffee)

Last vid up for the KS, shame they did not have any of this footage earlier in the KS.

I'm so glad that finaly I will play a new Elite 25 years later. (I've missed Frontier)

I shed a tear when I watched that Cobra docking in the space station at the sound of music of The Blue Danube.

Thats all she wrote folks. One heck of a ride.

 Nice Vid.

They could have posted this a bit sooner.

Just the right thing a possible backer would want to see.

He mentioned 1 BIG update every month, with another update every few weeks. 🙂 They are apparently getthing things worked out so that you can raise your pledge on Paypal if need be. 

DB didn't run. 😛 

There is NOWHERE on Earth he could hide from the ravenous Elite fans.

There was an update last Friday but it  will take a while to get sorted out.

Interview with DB about his thoughts on the Kickstarter.

Updates will be coming, but there is still a lot of logistical stuff to organise. Of course, in the background development is ongoing and more people are being moved onto Elite:Dangerous each day, but I imagine the next couple of updates will be mainly to do with pledge tiers and rewards.

The next update will no doubt be the web app, which should be with you guys some time next week. This will be a platform where backers can claim their digital rewards, as well as manage any future pledges and provide details such as delivery addresses or information for gifts you may want to send.

Frontier have set up their registration site for E:D

Hi,

this is just a quick update to let you know that the web app for managing your rewards has gone live. The email notifications are going out as I type this. The process will take a while, so don't worry if you haven't received your email yet.

Got commander Pinback registered.

Still waiting for my email here - but then I'm only a last-minute, low-level backer!

Commander Cody is now awaiting approval... heh.

I was surprised to get the email as I was not expecting anything from them until next week.

Yep, registered my commander/npc name as well.

I'm still waiting for approval - but that doesn't really surprise me. I'm prepared for my commander name to be rejected (quite possible) - but I do hope it is approved, as I've been Commander Cody since BBC Elite. But we shall see - ho-hum!

Saw a thread about commander names on the Frontier forum and a lot of whinging in it, thought I better check my backer site again.

Looks like I was wrong I had thought the names had gone through but it now looks like they are "pending approval".
