Closing in on £2 MEEELION raised!

[Cosmos]

The £2 million barrier is great for the game and Frontier. Congratulations all round. Its still worthwhile remembering that there was a period during the kickstarter when things looked touch and go - I remember us all getting a bit of a sweat on - DB too.

I find it a bit surreal, almost with the game in hand, Elite is gonna be back - and better than ever beyond my greatest expectations.

Is it my imagination or did the total just shoot up in the last week?

Oy you! no shouting.

Sorry TJ

 

[Sir.Tj]

Sorry TJ

Now that's sarcasm....

 

[Out2lunch]

Well done everybody for reaching the awesome goal...

 

[Jenner]

Well said, with SC and ED we are very lucky

Totally agree. I couldn't be happier re: the return of the space trading genre!

 

[Kerrash]

Great stuff. Now we just have to hope that it is a commercial success too.

Yes, me too. And for me it is already a success to have the game

 

[Void Sun]

Another £5,000 since last nights breakthrough!

 

[nicomak]

my graphs now including the last days

 

[FS3DPete]

106,587,272 Russian Rubles
5,210,303,388 Tanzanian shillings
2,396,209 Euros (whatever they are)
3,239,195 U.S Dollars
5,553,572,366 Mongolian Tugriks

Don't forget... 328,290,000 Japanese Yen...
Or 1,172,264,670,500 Zimbabwean Dollars...

That last one could be the exchange rate between US Dollars and Galactic Standard Credits :S

 

[Brodie]

Wahoo, just logged on to see we have smashed past the 2mill mark, well done!

 

[Sparticus]

1,172,264,670,500 Zimbabwean Dollars...

If a Zimbabwean Dollar Note weighed in at 1 gram - then you would need a pretty big truck to carry all that loot around.

As that is 1.17 Million Tons of Money

Yeah I'm showing my age a little there but I'm a spring chicken compared to the 73 year old neighbour I've know all of my adult life who just informed me that he used to play Elite on the Acorn

I showed him the Capital ship video and he nearly had a heart attack "That's it, you're building me a new pc boy !!"

Fantastic! Wonderful to see the great seniors play Elite. Build a nice PC for him. Your neighbor will the YODA of ED

 

[Patrick_68000]

And this is the testimony of Frontier

 

[Philip Coutts]

It's a far cry from the dark middle days of the Kickstarter where progress had stalled. Great achievement and hopefully all those extra pennies will help to make an even better game.

LOL classic !

Indeed he shall now be known as that !
Although his name is very apt anyway "ALF" if any of you remember that furry alien
