BUMP!
4 million mark is down, now heading for 4.5! Free professional mod tools are scheduled to be available! Also enhanced boarding options (including melee weapons, upgradeable HUDs, zero-g external combat)!
This might become the new most successful crowdfunded project if it breaks 4.5 Mi!
Now let us hope that Chris Roberts can pull this off right this time!
Note that he has private investors backing already secured with the success of crowdfunding, which means that the money gained from crowdfunding isn't the only money that will be poured into this project.
