Actually having EA step into the thing could possible cause me to drop out from SC. Wing Commander licence would be awesome, but EA as company much less so.

Same could have been said for Starlancer/Freelancer, couldn't it?

There is an inofficial patch that adds some of the effects of 3dfx to D3D. Should be in the file section or on my homepage: http://www2.karl.frank.name/mods And of course there is the OpenGL driver (that Popsicle posted) that delivers a whole new graphic experience.

I have to say this whole finish was incredible. I expected SC to end with about 4 Million. Then when I looked at the counter on the weekend I was stunned that that goal was already far behind and there might be the off chance that we would make 5. I never expected that all stretch goals would be...

Oh, I think you have much to learn about rock flying... I've had no problems at all dogfighting in there, sometimes even luring a tailing enemy into a rock.

Any transcripts?

Personally I think this is incredible. An AVERAGE of 90+ is extremely high for a thing we know next to nothing about except CRs track record. I would have expected that most pledge only the minimum, but as it seems there are many many of us out there hust hungry for such a game...

Yeah, did pledge via amazon. Redirects you to their site and adds the pledge like a ergular item you buy there. No problems.

Considering that this also allows for private servers I see less of a risk as long as there is a fan base like the CIC. At worst we would keep such a server alive I guess.

I red that as recurring fees after the 30 months. So it is actually "we guarantee the servers for 30 months and afterwards you might be on your own"? *splaps own head* AH - I see. That was supposed to be a timetable, not a duration...

Anyone got an idea on what this game will be demanding on the player side? I guess its way to early to talk about online activation/drm/... stuff (or was this also mentioned anywere already). Did I get it right that this can be played as a MMO, but in that case there will be a monthly fee...

Actually CR seemed to talk rather favourable of doing a reboot/WC1 timelined WC game.

Don't have/disabled it and tried 5 different browsers on 2 systems always the same behaviour. Its definitely something with the system or my account in particular. Anyhow I tried the link again (which didn't log me in), tried entering the key again into the field (which again gave an error...

No, I mean the part after I klick on the confirmation link in the registration e-mail.

While I got the mail instantly the link doesn't seem to work...

Anyone else have problems with enlisting? I get the activation e-mail, but when clicking on the link it shows yet another password window which asks for the registration key. Using the key part of the sent url doesn't work either :-(

Funny that so many people claim this to be true, yet I'v had multiple CDs (especially CD-Rs) fail on me, while my older Floppies seem to have aged just fine.

So there was nothing in the distribution that guaranteed a semi well playable deck? Just the rare/common/uncommon cards? If so what card distribution would you suggest for a beginner. eg: 20% Ships, 20% Actions, ... Just a rule of thumb.

MMA?! I dunno if I am more fascinated or shocked. Do you actually really do cage fights?

As I've never bought a starter, can someone tell me the contents of a typical starter deck? AKA how should a beginner dek (without deckbuilding) look to get into the game. Any rules of thumb? Also: Are there any good/interesting deck builds out there that one could copy to get a feel for the...
