Crazy Promotion Idea
OK, this is a bit off the cuff, so bear with me:
1) As a thank you to everyone who pledged in the KS, just GIVE each of them/us a code for a 1 month sub. Make it transferable so we who are gonna pay you anyway can gift it. Give these promo codes 5 friend keys pre-accrued, so new people can instantly share 2 weeks with 5 friends. 563 backers or backers' friends + 2,815 friend keys could raise awareness.
2) During whatever promotion time you want to define, offer new "fundraiser" tiers for 1, 2, and even 3 or 4 years. No bulk discount on these, but offer some of the types of goodies you offered via KS: a badge, a skin, an exclusive ship, name-an-npc, etc.
3) Any of the promo-codes or their friend-key friends who do the new tiers within the promo time get some even more exclusive Star-Bellied-Sneech kind of thing that makes them cooler than anyone who didn't. Like a star tattoo on their bellies...
4) make cool lists on the forums.
5) With the massive influx of pre-paid-yet-not-discounted subs, get some gameplay devtime in.

I think that's a good idea. Perhaps after we release some of the upcoming tutorial and early-gameplay changes.
I do invite further discussion though.

I object to the premise of the post. There is nothing crazy about this idea.
The kickstarter pledgers should totally receive something for support, what better way to turn them into community advocates.
And you simply must put some of these other things on sale like the greyhound skin and annivult etc etc.. because people will purchase them.

Inc, are the players that did pledge still gonna get the badges? and +1 to CD
+1 from me too.
I was wondering if VO/GS couldn't simply set up a "donate" type button which gave the same rewards as the KS pledge tiers. I'd happily "redirect" my KS pledge if given the ability to do so...

I'm fairly certain that a few of those "gift packages" contain things that I could print/produce cheaply at work or through other means.
As it was suggested in KS topic:
-Make "DevPackages" and auction it here, in VO... whoever gets more funds goes next, a sort of microtransactional-own-KS ...
Microtransactions?
-Sell special ships SKINS. Same stats, new exclusive visuals!
