Kickstarter-exclusive blocks and main character look

[Reapers legion]

For the Kickstarter-exclusive blocks and main character look could they be available to all of us as buy-able expansion pack for thou's who did not get to participate in the kick-starter as they found out after it had ended like myself. I would really like the opportunity to be able to have the blocks and would be willing to pay for them.

Wait, are there kickstarter exclusives?

The idea of kickstarter-exclusive blocks makes me kind of hate the devs a little right now.

Kickstarters can submit wreck designs for inclusion, which is happening now. Gives htem a chance to have something personal in game ( and saves the devs hours in constructing models ).

I know about the roadmap comment linked above...but there has been no mention since. I hope they have realised that it's a silly idea and highly unproductive in the long run. There are things you can gift to backers who put in extra money to get you started, but if they are not window dressing, cosmetic, or offline ( signed posters, merchandise, unreleased concept art, that sort of thing ) then you are spending time and effoprt making game assets which are then denied to new customers looking to buy the game.

It's one thing to have a 'golden nomad' space suit as a thank you.....but quite another to give kickstarters tracked vehicles and then deny them to the rest..or worse still...sell them as DLC. It's the sort of thing that has a toxic effect in the community.

Would also mean, assuming blueprints go ahead, and designs can be shared in the woirkshop here, that builds using Kickstarter only blocks would be unbuildable for many, and only usable by the select few. Can't see that going down well.

As long as they stick to things that have no actual impact on gameplay, and don;t take away anything from the rest of us that actually matters, then why not say thank you to the people who stumped up cash for a game that didn't exist, so the company could start work. I bought a product...those guys bought an idea and a hope.

Agreed ^
