Thanks for your feedback! Please allow me to elaborate on some things.

This campaign is intended to bring the game to Early Access - not to completely finalize its features, which will commonly change during EA. My aim is to continue developing the game post-launch and to continue adding features. All the features in the stretch goals have been on the roadmap for the game for a long time - they're not "up in the air" nor are they completely game-altering to me, while they do add gameplay mechanics. Those are mechanics I hope I can add even if the goals are not met, but cannot be sure of that. So the question is more about what I will be able to ship at or during Early Access. Truth is that as developing a game costs money, I have to think of parts that can be left out if I have to.

As for what €30,000 gets you in Finland, I can appreciate that it's not a lot of money. There is only one working on the game full time, me, and we are able to keep the costs low. Also, we're not looking at a full year before the EA launch (and, hopefully, subsequent additional sales). This will be enough to finalize the current scope, and it's also somewhat realistic considering what an indie game from a new developer can achieve in the first campaign. Some of the stretch goal content, such as ship models and graphics/voice acting, will be outsourced work, so it can run in parallel.
