Am curious if anyone else pledged back in the day and is playing currently? I did in 2013. Here it is 2020 and still no release. I finally decided to give the alpha stage a look. I’m blown away by the attention to detail in star ports and on massive ships like the Carrack. If you can look past the glitches and such it’s fun. I fear the game will never be released as Cloud Imperium seems to want to add every imaginable feature there is. I was fortunate enough to be taken under wing last night by a player who has pledged quite a bit. The ship and galaxy tour was amazing as I sat in the ball turret figuring things out, it made me feel satisfied for my pledge 7 years ago.
There’s a fairly sharp learning curve out the gate. As for now I wouldn’t invest a large amount of time into it as with major updates it will likely wipe your earnings out. Definitely buy gimbals for your guns too. Don’t buy gimbals.
