That's a good question - whether or not I pledge hinges on the answer!

I don't think you can switch pledge levels after the campaign from what I recall in the comments, but I can't say for sure.

You can swap bolt ons and the like. I'm not sure if you can increase or decrease the cost after the KS ends though.

The Cruise liner has unlocked

They've said that you need to actually pick a pledge level, so no £1 pledges, and that you can't change this in the pledge manager. So you can add more bolt-ons but not increase/decrease your pledge level.

I like the civilian ship

I really like the engines on the cruise liner a lot more than the UCM cruisers, they're much sleeker and technological looking.

So, this is the first Kickstarter I've backed. What time will Kickstarter charge me on Thursday? I get paid Thursday but also have all my bills due Tuesday so I'm worried about there being a gap in available funds for the level of pledge + bolt ons currently.

KS will charge you right around the time the campaign ends - Thu, Dec 3 2015 6:00 PM EST.

And if their is an issue you have seven days to resubmit your payment (and i believe KS automatically tries again at day seven)

I'm hoping they either making the UCM battle cruiser not one per pledge and make it where you can pick any combination for the 4 battle cruisers. I'd like more than one UCM battle cruiser and I'm sure there are some people who would rather have no UCM battle cruisers. If it comes down to it, could always trade with my friends pledging to focus on other factions

AFAIK, the KS exclusive UCM Battlecruiser is a unique, named ship. There are also four generic battlecruisers available as bolt ons that include a generic UCM ship. So, everyone is stuck with at least one UCM BC, but you can get as many additional BCs for each of the four factions as you want.

Awesome!

It looks like it's time for me to start totalling up my Dropfleet Commander pledge.

I think it's gonna be pricey...

Shaltari shooting




Shaltari appear to be the glass cannons of the game. They have long range scanners, possibly the best weapon in the game, useful shields but crappy armor.

Sure I missed it but the add on for the bombers and fighters...do you get them in the 2 player? OR are they an extra not needed part?

They are a £10 bolt on. I would imagine that there will be card counters in the start boxes for small craft but actual models will look much nicer.

The 'sector' resin counters will be £30, I think I will be moving towards divorce territory if I was to get them as part of this KS

The resin sector token renders have been released. £30 seems a little steep.

The city bases are also included in the cluster pack.

They are also in the boxed game.

£30 seems fine to me, roughly a quid a base.

Just need 16k Lbs to make all the unlocks.

20mm! Those are some tiny little cities . Love it!

They are only tokens though.

Only £5k away from the frigate bonanza now and post £500k stretch goals have been posted.

We are so close, 499,000!

Which are made out of resin, in 3D and knowing HW will be extremely well detailed.

They are not needed and I believe cardboard counters will be included in the box.

Exactly.

Frigate spam has unlocked.

Very, very, nice

PHR frigates.

Backed at Commodore but I can see that going up a fair bit when pledge manager hits, hopefully soon.

If you want extra bolt-ons, then Hawk will probably let you do that (although it's not guaranteed; adding extras after the campaign ends is by definition nothing to do with the Kickstarter itself ), but if you want to change the actual pledge reward level, that might not be possible.

I'm assuming like almost every kickstarter there will be a pledge manager. If not going to be disappointed and my extra funds will go elsewhere. :(
