The count is currently at 3,841,000 which is mighty close to 4m with 3 more days remaining. If we hit 4m, they will release mod tools for free and imagine what will be accomplished then by such a dedicated community.
The game will utilize CryEngine 3 and will be a massive game with space dogfights, freelancing and taking contracts, raiding far away systems with your ship and fighting pirates, bandits or becoming one of them.
Looks like the final push is being made and it is one of those projects that definitely needs us, so if you can spare some money please do. There is almost no counterparty risk of them not delivering a game and retaining the money, because one can specifically opt out from that.
