Looks stunning, I will definitely invest in this. I still have my original Freelancer and Privateer, an upgrade to them is really needed.

Just over a day to go to the end of the crowdfunding and the total is upto $4,6m!

One more final stretch goal to get to at $5,5m in under 24 hours but the amount of features that this game already has is going to put this game firmly up with any AAA game that has been released to date and become a genre defining title for the PC.

In addition this crowdfunding effort has completely blasted past the previous record set:

Is this game still coming? I think they're taking their investors for a ride.

Milking since 2012, a game that's in development since 2011.
