    I like the little Backer Missions deal, neat way to keep the community engaged.

    Debating on the 125 or 275 package.

    Jacket seems so sweet, wonder if I could bug them for taurian logo instead of one of the houses, be forced to select Liao or Free Worlds League logo would be okay.

    So at least initially it doesn't look like there will be a multiplayer campaign or any multiplayer beyond Solaris matches. I'm perfectly fine with a single-player game like this with multiplayer skirmish matches, I still think it will be pretty awesome, but that does affect what I'm willing to pledge for. I'll probably go in at $35 or $50, that's what I would spend on a solid single player game anyway.

    If there was provision for something like Megamek where we could create multiplayer campaigns and go a little more in depth I would probably throw down more. Not to say that couldn't be added in the future but it doesn't look that way at this (admittedly very early) stage.

    Seems to be a lot of real world stuff

    Hat with logo
    2 foot by 4 foot house banner
    4 inch Velcro logo
    Dog tags with house logo
    Bandolier with house logo
    Pin with house logo

    275 package just seems to add the jacket which has a spot on it for that Velcro badge


    Sucks no FRR

    Damn.

    That's crazy.

    Wonder how long till Chris Roberts says something official on the RSI website about this kickstarter.

    I think he has before with HBS games.

    I have to admit the 125 tier is pretty sexy.

    Base funding goal of $250k hit in less than an hour. (Doh, Skwi beat me to it :) )

    I am debating, I like the $125 goal, but not sure it fits the budget.

    pitched in for the $25, will likely upgrade to $50 for the stackpole novellas by the time it's over. all the physical stuff is a cool way to go for rewards, they just arent my style

    they're probably giggling like schoolgirls over there watching the funds get dumped in

    $50 is an easy tier, the 125 would be a sure bet if I could get it in FRR, but since that isn't happening... what house to I least hate enough to get their hat, patch, and dog tags.

    For 3025 is a tough call. Later on I'd have gone for Marik or Kurita, but in this time period they're all kinds of assholes.

    While crazy, Lao is not quite my kind of crazy. With the $50 and up bakers getting a special variant of the Atlas I would have a good start on a Steiner recon lance.
    Basically what I'm seeing from what you posted Skwi, about everything with MWO art is in so far minus the black knight as one that I would really want!
