Hey everyone
I'm really pleased we've passed the 4K mark and that means everyone's getting the second promo tile. This second tile is tentatively called "High Yield Asteroid", but I'm considering a different name. Post a comment if you have a suggestion.
It will be a domino sized tile that lies on top of the game board directly beneath the Asteroid Belt Location, and is a second location at the Asteroid Belt.
I want it to represent exploration of high risk / high reward locations, like an asteroid spinning at a high velocity. So in addition to the technologies required for the first location on the asteroid belt, players will need High Thrust Propulsion.
In Second Edition I've found the Asteroid Belt to sometimes be an overly important location - everyone's passing through, but only one player can build a base!
Thanks again for your support on this project. I'm sending the final rules updates to Nick today, so the second edition rules will be up on the kickstarter page, bgg, and my own site within a couple weeks.

Hi Destination: Neptune 2E Backers:
Less than 3 days left in the kickstarter campaign. We've increase the number of extra rockets included in the upgrade kit to two per color not just one. We have seen games with 5 rockets used (although almost never effectively...) and figured we'd want to let folks try it for themselves.
I really want to thank everyone for their support. I've started on the final rules draft today, and will be sending it to the printer within 2 weeks barring some unforseen calamity.
The Play by Forum game on BGG is going along pretty nicely now, and I'd encourage you to take a peek.

Hey everyone!
We've finally conquered the first stretch goal! Thanks to all of you!
Please, we need everyone to stick with the project at this point - we don't want to lose the goal we've achieved so far!
Next - $4000 goal!
thanks for all your support!

Stretch Goals Lowered Again

Hello Again Destination: Neptune Backers!
Well, I've again revised the stretch goal ladder so we can get to the goodies faster. (I'm not even opening my project spreadsheet as I'm fairly convinced I will lose money on this project, but this is a "real" kickstarter - a labor of love and not just pre-release marketing in exchange for exclusive promos.)
thanks as always for your support!

Funded!?! Now onto the stretch goals!

Hello everyone!
With your help it looks like we've funded. It looked like we had a couple days ago, but a few pledges got withdrawn and we slid under again.
I do hope that everyone now on board is here to stay. If you never intended to stay through the end and pledged to help build momentum, I will ask you at this time to cancel or stick with us. (I don't want to proceed to finishing the project and find out later we didn't actually fund.)
cheers!
Ian
