We did it! We made it to the stars!

We did it! We are funded!

Guys, I cannot at all believe how well this has gone. I am humbled, encouraged and amazed. The livestream community creation sessions have been fantastic, and I really feel like we have been able to come together and do our best to make what you want for your game table...

I want to thank my amazing support network, and especially Theodor, Jonathan, Lise-Lott, Micke, Anton, Hannes and Charlie. You guys are great!

And also, the boarding tube is unlocked!

This boarding tube will be compatible with the side airlock scout ship and transport. We will have a covered version and a half version for play.

What is next?

Next... 

• It will take 2 weeks for Kickstarter to process your payments. In the meantime we will be setting up a Backerkit and send out some basic surveys. They do not answer everything, that will be done in the backerkit.
• Once the payments are processed, we will send out invitations to the backerkit
• You will then be able to select which add ons you purchased and add anything else to the campaign that you might want.
• Once you lock in your pledge, we will start processing pledges.
• The three main ships will be released on Drivethru RPG with your package. As new items are released, we will automatically update the files.
• We anticipate it may be up to three months before all stretch goals are delivered, but we will keep you posted of course.
• And then of course we will be back in the later half of the year! Don't worry, we will survey you about what you want to see.

This is Ben, last surviving crewman of Starship III, signing off...

We are down to the wire... There is but a little over an hour left, enough time perhaps for just one final push...

Which brings us to what I suspect will be the final stretch goal unlocked... a boarding tube...

It may be that all expectations are exceeded in the last minutes, in which case, I have an idea, but won't reveal until we pass a magic number. In any case, this has by far exceeded my expectations, you guys are simply amazing!

HOLY SPACESHIPS BATMAN! or Happy Valentines!

Guys, this is nuts! Last night we slashed through the 450K stretch goal, releasing the missiles, and I have been frantically trying to get future stretch goals ready to go, and in the meantime we also smashed through the 480K stretch goal!

But don't worry, there are more to come!

It's February 14th, and to celebrate, I thought, why not do something small to all you mechaphiles out there! New twin engines for the shuttle, just another model, a hybrid between the old style and the wings, this time with 

This was a backer request through and through, and it is automatically added to the All In and Collector pledges, otherwise you can now add these great non-combat scanners, drone launchers, drones, spotlight/tractor beams and airlocks to your turret ports buy increasing your pledge by 100 KR!

I always wanted to integrate more airlocks into the Scout ship, now I have a design that should work with most versions.

And finally... for now... An upper storey cockpit for the Transport. Yes, I will do a version compatible with the saucer. :D

520K!

Okay, I'm gonna say it. I didn't think things would move this quick! That's why the free Valentines update, and the shorter stretch to the Turrets III pack! But crazy as it is, it looks like we might be out of stretch goals soon again!

This is one of the ones I have been thinking about for a while. Side airlocks that somewhat ruin the scout's perfect sleekness, but provide a functionality that makes sense - the ability to easily board in a vacuum.

Also, the right height on the table to be adjacent with other ships with side airlocks... Not foreshadowing at all...

Next up...

This will no doubt unlock overnight. I allows for the use of a second storey cockpit, but really, you could use it as an observation area if you wanted. I have put fittings on for either a large turret or regular on the back, and will probably also do a version that works with the saucer.

The next stretch? It won't be ready until tomorrow, but it will be another miniature stretch to update the miniatures pack. Every new outward configuration to date, another five if I am not mistaken.

Beyond this, I have more plans, but they will have to wait until tomorrow. I have hinted at what they might be, but we are entering the realm of post campaign promises, so we will see what can visualise.

While I slept... 550K!

Guys, what!?  We smashed through that last stretch goal like it was paper!

The upper deck transport is unlocked!

So what comes next you ask?

Well, it has been a while since we have had some miniature love!

We have only six more hours to go, but I am working on some final stretch goals! Stay tuned!
