    Well, I finally noticed that early Kickstarter backer can now upgrade and I'm about to upgrade to cosmic but I have a few question first. To begin with, will there be any kind of special in game anything for the really early backers that made all this epic stuff possible? (Not saying that there should be something if there isn't :p) If there is then if I upgrade will I still have that or will I just have the cosmic pack? Thanks for answering if you do!

    Upgrades for Kickstarter Backers was cut off at the end of 2012, you're best off PMing Garat with the Email you used for Kickstarter to see if there is anything that can be done.

    Depending on how much you back during the Kickstarter, there might be. The Progenitor and Alpha Commander are still only available to people who backed $50+ / $90+ dollars during the Kickstarter and are not included in the Pre-orders.

    No guys I'm just wondering if there is a general reward for backing the Kickstarter any amount $20 or over. (I was only able to put in $20 at the Kickstarter) If I hit the upgrade button in the store I can upgrade to Alpha access for $50 and all I want to know is if I DO upgrade, will I still be labeled as being an original Kickstarter donor and get any rewards I might get from the simple fact of having been there from the beginning? (If there are any rewards for that)

    The rewards for KS backers are all listed on the KS Page which states that the 20$ pledge Level only awards the finished game.

    What you see in the Uber Store now are not upgrades, they are Pre-Orders, so if you get any level of pre-order you'll have 2 copies of the game.

    Then why can I hit the upgrade button and get the Galactic Edition for $50?

    My Understanding is that the current upgrades are for Pre-Orders, not KS Backers.

    This is what I see so I'm pretty sure I can upgrade.

    You are both right.

    KS upgrade ended up in December 2012, so byebye the exact kickstarter pledges and rewards.

    BUT early backers can still upgrade their pledge in a certain way.

    See this thread by garat.

    From what i understood, it seems you can "transform" your Kickstarter pledge into a pre-order for additionnal goodies (ie : access to the beta, alpha...).
    I see you pledged at $20, so it cost you $20 to upgrade to Warfare Edition.
    Warfare Edition is normally $60, you get a $20 discount. Sweet.

    (this assomption is based on your screenshot and the official prices from the pre-order site. Totally deductive, so may be completly wrong !)
