Oh, you poor, poor, deluded fool... Such words have passed so many of our lips, yet the lure of Christ Roberts' vision is mighty, whilst our financial discipline is weak.

I thought 80 was my limit, since it would be around the price of a normal game... boy that escalated quicky !

Right, I've spent 75, not counting the new video card, and all I have to show for it is an Aurora, a buggy, some fish in a tank, a pretty hanger, and oh ya, a cot.
Ah, so you think!
It has been 2 years, 2 months, 21 days since I paid that first 35 dollars. Still going strong!

I picked up the BMM as well, I was kinda of vexed at the lack of info, and the new concept pic of it, but it could be awesome in a year or two when it comes to the hanger

Hi, I'm WarrenPeace (and sometimes Shortspark). I spend too much money on internet spaceships. And that's ok. :D
I think most of us at the beginning said "I'm going to back the game and buy one ship because I believe in Chris Roberts"
Most of us now have several ships in our hangar sometimes worth thousands of dollars in digial pixels. Its a slippery slope and I think Chris stands behind you and pushes. Its ok though because he gives us Letters in return sometimes if he pushes enough people.

When I first saw SC, it was barely more than an idea and the kickstarted had raised less than $500k. I cautiously (some might say stupidly but at that time nobody could predict where it would go, not even Chris Roberts) decided to wait a little and see where it went. Eventually I decided to make a pledge to support the development back in Jan. of this year by "buying" a Cutlass.
Now, I am not any sort of impulse buyer normally. It took me 9 years to get a tattoo once I'd decided I wanted one, to make sure I really wanted to have this embedded in my flesh, until death do us part (hey it lasted longer than my marriage, maybe I should have waited 9 years for that). I don't make upgrades to my computer until at least 6-12 months after a new part is released. But I am now sitting on $520 worth of internet spaceships and other items (stun baton, handcuffs, laser pistol, trenchcoat, electro ship skin).
So congrats on holding out for 2+ years, and good luck for another two :)
Cheers,
Shar

So far the tattoo is 27 years old, needs a touch-up but I have never for a second regretted getting it. Now if only I could get back all the money I spent on WoW (about $200), EverQuest (who knows), EVE Online (again, who knows), Rift ($600-800) and other games I could get the one I want on the other shoulder blade. Although I would probably spend it on internet spaceships instead.
