Would you pay $10 or $20 a month for a game that is two years away? Chris Roberts, the head of Roberts Space Industries and developer of Star Citizen is offering it as a way for people to give towards the game’s development without going for one of the larger lump sum payments of several hundred or more dollars. Normally one might call him crazy, but Star Citizen has already raised almost 4.5 Million Dollars out of it’s 2 Million goal.

Below we’ve got a full run down on all the benefits you can acquire by being a subscriber, but for pirate types there’s news as well! The Caterpillar has just been unveiled and unlocked as a donation reward. The Caterpillar is a small multi-person corvette ostensibly build for search and rescue missions, but it’s true goal is piracy. Board and get to looting ye mateys for only $110. It seems like Star Citizen will be extremely well funded, and I have to wonder if there’s plans for a solid gold rec room in their office.
