    Not ignoring you all, just been a busy couple days! We'll be investigating and looking into some of the potential bug issues, and clarifying some of the questions as soon as possible.

    Re: alpha key - in the case of keys, we just give you one key, depending on which stage. An alpha key -> beta -> retail is the same key.

    Same as beta -> retail.

    Etc.

    More later, once my head stops essploding!

    I backed for a Progenitor and a normal copy, but when I go to the upgrade page it offers to upgrade to Galatic (which appears to basically be the "Boosting mass is expensive!" or $90 option from before, awesome) for $20 instead of the expected $40, it appears to be using the original pledge as the base amount.

    Any chance of getting a way to upgrade the primary without losing the add-ons?

    I plan on paying the extra $20 for a BETA key from my standard kickstarter pledge as soon as money will allow it.

    Far too eager to play this game.

    We temporarily turned off $90+ upgrades until we finish checking to make sure there's no bug in the process (and to check anyone who already did the upgrade and make sure their upgrade was done correctly).. We'll have it turned back on soon. And there is no upgrade beyond $150 right now. We simply lack the bandwidth to handle it right now, so we had to keep it simple, while still, at the bare minimum, let people who wanted to get into alpha and/or beta the chance sooner than later.

    It's still a work in progress, and we haven't decided "we'll never offer X again", but it takes us some time to build up all the support for this.. once that's done, providing support for other things is a lot easier. :)

    Hmm I supported at $150 for the kickstarter so there is no reason for me to upgrade, HOWEVER. I also got a beta key for my brother (the only options at the time being a retail key and a beta key)

    Will there be an opportunity prior to alpha for me to upgrade the gift key I purchased for him?

    Hm, I pledged $40 on kickstarter and now upgraded it for $30, so in the end I got an alpha-key for $70, while back on the kickstarter it costed the full $90.

    I'm not complaining, but seems hardly fair for the people who pledged $90.

    I pledged 40 + 20 for an extra key and added 30 to get the 90 dollar pack. So technically I got the 90 dollar pack for 70.

    I consider this a bonus for us who decided to get extra keys and stuff back then but for others I don't know how it works

    Alpha access via upgrading is only $70, but I don't think we get anything more, e.g. Alpha commander, so thats probably why.

    Edit: i just noticed Alpha commander is listed under galatic edition upgrade ONLY when on the payment page (where it has the amazon payment/paypal buttons).

    Yeah, you are right. Just checked it by myself and I am glad to see the alpha commander is in my galactic edition... But I am still kind of sad I will probably miss the delta...

    Yeah, same here. I'm still hoping there'll be another upgrade option between Galactic and Cosmic that'll include the Delta...i'm just crazy enough to spend some more, but not enough to go to 250.

    You can get extra retail, beta or alpha keys for friends by pre-ordering Combat, Warfare or Galactic editions at store.uberent.com.
