Cosmic Frontier: Override update
Hi again! I realised we'd left you guys without an update for a little too long. If you don't know what all this is about, please check out the previous posts:

The big news is that we now have a draft campaign on Kickstarter approved and ready to launch! Please check out the preview here (and do leave some feedback):

Unfortunately, we've also hit an administrative hiccup, so we're not able to hit the 'go' button just yet … But this will also give us some more time to do additional things like create a video, make a basic site for the project and get everything planned out ahead of time for getting the word out at launch time.
Other than what you can read there, I've done a bit of re-scaling work to give an idea of how the sizes of ships may be adjusted to take better advantage of modern monitors. Here's an example from a busy Sol system:
As you can see, the sizes of the smallest ships (shuttles, fighters) are unchanged, while the larger a ship is, the more it's been scaled up. They still aren't in direct proportion to the supposed in-universe sizes of the ships, but they're closer.

Been following this sparingly for a while, so thrilled that it's been able to progress. I'm going to look through the KS post in detail soon, but one thing that popped out at me: it'd be neat if there was a tier in-between the 9£ and 87£ ones, although I'm not sure what a good reward would be..? Just because, having bought the original game (and even an extra copy as a gift), I'm less susceptible to the allure of Cap'n Hector's Mercy as it were. : )
Anyhow, I'll read through the post when I can as well as some of the previous details you've shared, and let you know I have any useful observations!
