ED in numbers: 34k and 1k new backers in *one* week

1000 new backers in one week?? Thats incredible!

Congrats FD!

They should have made planetary landings a £2m stretch goal though :)

Planetery landing is already planned in an expansion :)
FD want to do it properly and take the time to do this ;)
 
I guess a lot of people want in for the alpha and beta's? :D

Funny, but no, because alpha is some 400 slots left and it's slowly chipping away, but backers number grow much much faster. I think I see lot of one pound, five pound and game price backers. That means people aren't ready to shell out money, but they are interested in game - and in this case for me it is much more important! :)

Yes this is true, I was at Beta 1 for a long time, but as the time is so near I didn't want to sit around not being in the action, also I class this as a time in history which I wanted to be a part of, I think that a lot of new Alpha backer probably felt the same. It's also great to see so many new backers. :cool:
 
Some people like me were perhaps saving some money up to get to the pledge tier they wanted. I would have preferred to wait a little longer, but my hand was forced a littler earlier than I had planned for.. :D
 
i think the most impressive fact is that on thursday alone we got 12.3 k £ and 385 new backers!

Bloody hell, first time I've seen that sig and chart there you've got ... that graph it's going vertical! Madness! Madness I say! :eek: :D
 
I have backed since the kickstarter and every few months I would increase my pledge a little bit. I just recently upgraded from the pirate pledge to the second round beta test pledge. Just give them some more time more people will come and more people will increase their pledge.

Same here, I went from basic 25 pounder to digital download pack. SC is already overloaded with funds, I rather leave them here :)
 
I would guess that there will be a lot of X fans jumping ship and pledging to ED after the disastrous launch of X-Rebirth. Plus a lot of ED video teasers are working their way through the grapevine and getting viewed.
 
I backed 2 days ago, i'll be at the second round beta test, until then i hope to see a lot of videos from the alpha. woot! :)
