I decided to become a whale in some games, just wonder how your dinner was, what are they serving for 7,500$ ? Did you find your star system in the 4 billion other systems, did they give you a map or something?
I´m interested in this reward from Kickstarter:
Pledge USD 7,500
"Dinner with myself and the key team members in Cambridge, Have a central star system named* after you, plus all rewards above."
Ah found it. The prior tier included "The writer’s pack: The right to write one piece of written fiction set
in the Elite: Dangerous world, and (subject to reasonable approval of
the content) release it commercially, without paying Frontier further
royalties, independently of the game. This category includes all the
rewards above. Frontier will cooperate to allow the system name,
commander name, planet name, planet description, space station names to
be positioned and used in a way to support the fiction within the game.
Frontier will also help publicise your title at the time of release of
“Elite: Dangerous”, as long as it is finished at that point, alongside
the official sequel to “The Dark Wheel”.
So you'd actually be paying £500 for dinner with the team and a star system named after you. Not so bad if you were a writer looking for a royalty free license and wanted something personal from the project. £500 more than I would want to pay if I was in that position though.
All kickstarter options ended with the kickstarter unlike another game that you guys are sadly trying to deflect for.

meh, not interested to buy me the right to write a novel.
Maybe I should just ask if they can name a star after me, and give me a special thanks credits in the next expansion, it´s only 4,500 bucks and they didn´t sell them all yet.
Pledge USD 4,500 or more

So I get physical and digital goods for a game I can play and not just concept art. Sounds like a better deal than some alternative that shall go unamed because I do not feel like being crucified today.

they also like to charge full triple A price for a content-free expansion posing as a separate game.
Something gotta pay for the 250K salaries for the managers, right? check out their shareholder report for more details
when you meet them please ask them when the separate offline game they promised will be released (spoiler: never)

I'm a fan of SC. Doing things like this is just silly.
