I can understand it.  For some, the character wasn't important.  They just wanted the most stuff for their pledge dollars.

I am very curious as to how many people will take the cash, but who knows if that info will ever be shared.

I am courious how many would take it as well.  As for me.  My survey is done

All I know about canon characters is that I briefly seriously considered changing my pledge a couple days ago to see if I could get my cat canonized as a character in the battletech universe. ;D

Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

Well . . . it would not be one of the thousands of mechwarriors submitted, if it was done as a cat . . . so a lot more likely to see it pop in soon!

for those who already got the surveys.
How high is the credit for the char buyback option?
If it is too high, I actually have to consider using it. Getting a char as a collateral side effect is one thing, having explicit money in it is another. ;)
Star Colonels get $75 and Galaxy Commanders get $150 afaik.

$150 was my option at Galaxy Commander. Unsure how it works at lower tiers

Where is that option? Is it in the survey?

Saw the other posts....

Why not? Maybe he will end up as an accidental test-pilot or JumpShip captain.

That is honestly really  tempting. My cat's already named after a mech. ;D

Considering the lack of cat-themed clans, maybe your cat will form a new clan. >:D

Rest of the Clan shirts previewed.

I like how they’re apologizing for all the updates and think we’re sick of them. I check back multiple times a day to see if more KS updates have come out.  :D Bet I not the only one.

Yeah, 3 today! so far . . ?

Okay, I like some of these a LOT . . . ugh, now I have to think about spending MORE money . . . I am REALLY liking the Goliath Scorpion shirt, the Horse & Coyote one are pretty nice too.


I mean, that is a pretty sharp shirt.

I'm way ahead of you in being weird!  3-4 dogs...

On another note, the updates have been great.  Some of the t-shirts look absolutely amazing, it's really hard to stick to just the ones I've already picked out.

Clans that only existed for 3 minutes don't deserve t-shirts.

It's the lack of support from the SIC that surprises me.
