I'm considering pledging a crap ton to this project. It's only been a few days and they have half a million already. They only need 2 million raised. Look at that trailer, [censored]. The only thing stopping me form playing Eve is the subscription fee, and then this game comes along. Donate all the money now. They are having some problems with the pledge meter on the main site hence why he has updated people on progress in alternative ways.

Somewhat sad that it takes the money immediately
