Will you pre-order the next DLC? I will... and that's why:

Will I buy the next DLC when it comes out? Definitely! I don't even know what it's going to be focused on, but I've loved the game as it's developed so much that I know whatever else they bring in will make it better.

Kickstarters are a bit of a scam if you ask me. A company that's existed for 20 years shouldn't be scrounging for handouts to launch a product. It's just a way of getting gullible people to inject cash into the business without the shareholders losing any control. The people who win are those that own stock - several million pounds getting loaded on to the company balance sheet with no obligation to pay any of it back? Yes please. I'd do it for a small, new-start looking to build something innovative. Not an established video game business who can easily issue shares or bonds if they need to raise capital. They just took the p out of naive gamers.

That's nonsense. They did a KS to gauge support for actually taking the game to market. If it had received a poor response, they could have mothballed ED with no face lost, which is far preferrable than spending loads of money to release a product which nobody then wants to buy.

Most KSs are scams - I've been stung by a fair few (usually hardware based), but FD didn't do it as a money making exercise, unlike some other games out there....
 
Amazingly, there are some. Playing a game on release is an experience, being one of the first to play it and discuss with like-minded friends. We actually saw it on this very forum on release of X4: Foundations. The thread went on actively for two weeks at least, and still pings in my subscribed threads from time to time.

Lately, there is also the experience of taking part in drama surrounding a rocky release, sadly. X-Rebirth, Fallout 4 VR, Skyrim VR, Doom VFR.

You are explaining the advantage of playing on day1, not the advantage of pre-ordering. You can play on the first day every bit as much as anyone else without pre-ordering.

I'd advise against motti's advice.

3 guineas please ;)

And I advise you that amigacooke's advice is correct.

One million dollars, please. (Hey, I only need one. )

I'm not sure Frontier made it entirely clear that all 25,681 of us could have just pledged a fiver as it was just a marketing exercise. They did seem to keep the £1.5 that had been raised.
 
Because you should always ask a financial advisor before spending your hard earned. While not "officially" a financial advisor, I can still help you in that endeavor for a small fee. ;)

Noone listen to him. Let the pros speak and deal with this. I'll do it for a BIGGER fee. And you know it'll be good, because bigger is better.
 
...
I'm not sure I'd trust FD to deliver what they say they will. Sometimes their use of semantics has turned out to be better than their game content. The Codex for example is not actually what many of us thought it would be and I too miss the ice-terrain that was promised.
...

Truth! Some of the quotes Fdev have made have been a marvel of intricate grammatical engineering, saying lots of very little whilst seeming to say much. As for the Codex it actually far surpassed what I was expecting (basically the games log in prettied up form), tho I haven't checked if the millenium ships are in there with links to where they are - still have yet to see them so hoping they are.

Was a bit shocked to see I've put in nearly 1100 hours into the game (and I'm still not Elite in anything nor a billionaire).
 
heres my offer frontier;

1x curly wurly (slightly damaged after being in a warm pocket for 10 hours)
