  1. Ok I changed the link in the original post because the map is really useful.

    Yesterday when I was watching the ISS flying right over the west coast of South America, it was really cool seeing all those clouds inland and hugging the Andes and then that dry strip of desert between that and the sea. Really stunning..

  2. I have played since December 2012 and still consider myself quite a noob. I have visited all the planets and moons except for Bob but I always do the same interplanetary transfers. I don't know how to make a reliable gravity assist to help with the transfer for instance. Aerobrakes are sketchy and I can't make a precision landing.. and when I see some of the great planes and rockets on this forum I feel quite noob. However that is a great thing. It means I have a lot more to learn in this game and that I will be playing it for many years to come. That's what I look for in a good game.. constantly discovering new things to learn.

  3. Fact is that 21 million for a triple A game is not all that much. GTAV was in production for 5 years and development costs for that game where around the 200 / 250 million dollars range.

    The good thing about this pledge system is that the more people pledge the better the game will get. If they did not reach the 13 million mark I think it was they now would not have their own Mo-Cap studio. Now they do so they can develop realistic animations much easier. Feature creep could be a problem but they do have a good roadmap and vision on where to go with the game and releasing it in separate modules allows them to test new features with every big mile stone reached.

  4. I'm extremely skeptical of this. Games raising money in this manner could easily be a scam. Personally, I think this should be regulated as an investment.

    Most people who have pledged know who Chris Roberts is. I grew up playing his games in the early 90's and have been waiting on a new game from him for about 15 years. I spend 90 dollars on this game as soon as i saw he was making it.

    No scamming what so ever just alot of people that really want to see a new wing commander / privateer kind of game.
