The alien languages was a $1 million stretch goal when funding was at $50 million.

The 100 systems was basically a $2 million stretch goal scattered across the early $5 million dollar phase.

The stretch goal was 3 languages I think. It's very telling that they couldn't even show a single sentence in engine, never mind in game, "we'll just play raw footage from the shoot years ago".

Correct...Banu is missing.

But then, so is the Banu Ship. :v:

Edit, guess my point was as the velocity of funding increased, a million was required to develop three languages. Yet to develop 100 systems wasn't much more in the early days funding.

It was 3 languages at $50m. Then somewhere along the line, Chris added a 4th (Taverine) alien race/language

Uh, I think you'll find, goonie, that the 1 million for the languages made up just 2% of their budget when that stretch goal was reached, while the 1 mil for the 100 systems and 70 SQ43 missions was 20% of their budget at the time. Nice FUD though. Goonie.

You dreamed it, thus it will happen commando.

To be honest, I'm amazed Roberts hasn't sold a giant Turing machine ship with a reel-to-reel tape where we could basically bootstrap and launch SC within the machine.
