I hope this will suffice as a response to this thread

I can afford it now - and would jump at the chance of a "special window" where folks can bump their pledges via paypal or something?
I know there aren't any more "stretch goals" as such - so would KS backers alone get a second chance and the extra $$ can go into development perhaps?

I have only just spotted your post titan1978 but I never forget the friends of LT who are vocal on other forums about the game.titan1978 wrote:I pledged a little low during KS And missed Beta (couldnt afford it then).

That's a damn shame. I spent about 15 mins going all over this site trying to find out how to give them my money. I was all ready to give them my $60 for beta access, but find they no longer want additional funding? I guess we're to believe that the final release is close enough that they wouldn't feel right about charging extra for the beta.Slymodi wrote:sorry, but the answer is notitan1978 wrote:I pledged a little low during KS And missed Beta (couldnt afford it then).

To tell you the truth, other than the prototype, there isn't even a beta as of yet. The prototype is pretty dated though compared to what Josh has been putting in. I really hope he releases the alpha soon enough though.NonBritGit wrote:That's a damn shame. I spent about 15 mins going all over this site trying to find out how to give them my money.

I'll try to keep an eye on this project, but it's a shame I can't get in on the action.
If he does at all. The Kickstarter had no mention of an alpha, and I believe that Josh also hasn't mentioned an alpha since.DWMagus wrote:I really hope he releases the alpha soon enough though.
Just for curiosity: in which way? And where have I before? And should I try to do it again?DWMagus wrote:You surprise me again, McLane.
It hasn't been mentioned at all during Elder Council discussions.Commander McLane wrote:Or Josh is planning to release an alpha to a group of people within his own discretion. Might be all registered forum users, might be the elder council only, might be a subgroup of the forum users, might be the general public.
Sorry, it's a quote from the game 'Die Hard Trilogy' from the crazy taxi-esque game based on the third movie. It was never actually said in the movie, but then again, I'd been wanting to use that quote on you for some time now.Commander McLane wrote:Just for curiosity: in which way? And where have I before?

However, my avatar has nothing to do with Die Hard or John McClane. On the contrary, it's very directly SF-related. If you want some more information on it—and on the strange looking ship in my avatar picture—then this would be a good starting point. Note also the wikipedia link in the first paragraph of that user page.
