WHAT A LOVELY DAY
I guess theyre taking a leaf out of the book of one of the two space mmos that currently exist, eve online. Can you blame them for copying a sucessful companies model?

Edit: infact reading that Kickstarter basically makes it sound like first person eve online mixed with some star wars galaxies + voxels.

Eve bits:
Lock and fire combat, training a single skill at a time, markets working on buy/sell orders, limited trial accounts with a monthly subscription for premium time, and tradable ingame items redeemable for premium time

SWG bits:
Uninstanced Player cities & housing, crafted by players, politics, ship artchitects, etc

Also ship vs ship combat is a stretch goal?

Edit: Their kickstarter is also asking for 500k euros, assuming across their 24 staff, their average pay is 50k each a year, they can afford to pay their devs for 5 months from this kickstarter, for a game they want to release in the end of 2018?
