We've got to offer epic exclusives for our KickStarter teams -- the same will be true of Star Traders 2.
If we didn't honor our promises of unique rewards, we wouldn't have so many repeat backers!

While I agree with you that the kickstarter stuff should remain unique to that I disagree with your conclusion. You have consistent backers and patreon supporters because you make amazing games and support your games at a fanatical level. /respect is what got me to subscribe, not exclusive rewards.

matrim - thank you. We appreciate that. Everyone backs for their own reasons, we have to respect them. If we make promises (this reward is exclusive, we will deliver this feature) and then summarily break those promises (you paid $350 for those items, now we give them out to others, or we don't deliver a feature) then we stop being who we are. And then, backers don't come back.

And then, backers don't come back. From my understanding, most developers eventually release such "exclusive" backer items later as normal DLCs. But I understand the economics - and other considerations - are different with every developer and its fanbase.

We like the meaning of words. "Exclusive" holds a certain meaning and in our eyes, a commitment.
Sorry that we can't offer the items for sale.
