Amazing, truly. With just 3 hours ticking away on the Kickstarter campaign clock, Star Citizen is just beneath $2 million in pledges. However, when combined with other funds, it has achieved $5.8 million.

That's more than enough to have unlocked the Bengal carrier stretch goal, and to get motion capture for Squadron 42. At $6 million we'll get 100 star systems at launch, full orchestral score and more.
