Star Citizen Backers have passed the 108 million dollar mark (108,000,312 $)
Number of "Star Citizens" is currently at 1,271,500
(up from 1,190,461 .... + 81,039 since the 107 million mark)
Number of "UEE Fleet": 919.514
(up from 906.082 ....+ 13,432 since the 107 million mark)
Notable is strong increase in Number of "Star Citizens" due to free trial and Free Fly Week. Event ends in 2 days (Feb 14th). Some free accounts have already converted to paying accounts even before that date it seems, as the increase in number of "UEE Fleet" suggests.
Star Citizen Backers have passed the 109 million dollar mark (109,010,029 $)
Number of "Star Citizens" is currently at 1,287,345

Number of "UEE Fleet": 934,041
(up from 919.514 ....+ 14,527 since the 108 million mark)
Notable
is the much awaited Alpha 2.2 patch for the PTU server with a LONG list of patch notes, with two of many highlights being the Sabre interceptor as a flyable ship and increase of instance size from 16 to 24 players.
Furthermore a significant increase in number of new ships ( approx. 27000 new ones in February) can be seen due to the free trial and
Free Fly Week that ended in Feb 14th. Quite a few free accounts have converted to paying accounts it seems, as
the increase in number of "UEE Fleet" suggests.
Man this game is like the video game version on Kanye West when it comes to Viral. I can't even get $6,000 on the kickstarter for my game
...and you actually have a game.
DISCLAIMER: This post is not meant to be negative, it simply reflects the fact that Star Citizen is not a game yet and @DrDread74 actually has a playable game.
Awww Thanks! Just to be clear, my games still in development but hopefully will be "playable" in a few weeks

What i saw from the video it looks like a real game. I am looking forward to giving it a try, it does look a little dry and Spreadsheet-ish but strategy games stand and fall with depth and it looks like you put a lot of thought into this.
I also like the art style of the planets. Really well done.
PS: I posted it on a couple of forums and on my social media. I hope you get some more funding. 11 days is not a lot of time left but maybe you can make it!

Notable
is the Alpha 2.3 patch on the live server
available for all backers with a LONG list of patch notes, the flyable Xi'An Scout, the MISC Starfarer Tanker in the hangar and new FPS weapons like the Arrowhead sniper rifle.
21,000 newcomers and 5535 ships sold Guess that 66% of ships sold were newbies from the free-flight trial buying Aurora or Mustang Package at $60 3653 packages @ $60 = $220,000 5535 - 3653 = 1882 ships remaining $1,000,000 - $220,000 = $780,000 remaining $780,000 / 1882 = $414 average per ship
---
I actually think the uptick of newbies is probably a lot less, so let's say 33% of free-flight newbies bought a $60 package. They raised $110,000 while the whales forked over $890,000 on 3709 ships, an average of $240 per ship.
Maybe a mixture of MISC Starfarer (which is clocking in at 300 $) and Vanduul Blade (250 $) sales plus starter packages at 54 $ from people that converted from Free Fly Weekend to active backers ?

Yep as a backer (around $100 total including a really nice hoodie and a really crappy notepad with a nice deck of playing cards included) and a supporter I find these 1 million dollar marks coming so quickly to be both odd and questionable. Odd that people are still spending thousands on ships that you can earn in-game and questionable because I still have faith in humanity that no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.

$111 million and all they have to show for it is a glorified tech demo. That's really not something to brag about, given that there are released games out there with many of SC's features which cost less, and were made with significantly smaller budgets. Not to mention all the incoming games...
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

Not another person saying they have spent all the money raised - pweeeeeze exercise a little sense. Repeat this mantra: money raised does not equal money spent.
