i dont think so, Aleph and JSA ships where announced time ago, probably that two ships were meant to be addons since the beginning. (and for the moment, all the unlocks are alt ships for the core)
According to comments on Gamefound they intend to have boards & cards that allow the Symbio-ships to be played as Tohaa ships as part of a Human Sphere fleet.
We have precisions about the conquest mode. https://gamefound.com/en/projects/ramperdesign/acherons-fall/updates/4 Conquest Mode: And there's this : Obstacle Pack: This pack is an upgrade for those who want to play with the obstacles already in the box but in 3D. This significantly enhances the look of your gaming table. There's usually a rush in the last 48 hours, so I think it can easily end up in the 250-300k level.
I was explaining the game to a friend today whilst driving and his eyes lit up when I described the inertia movement, the cool hacking/AI-missiles/boarding/fighter squadrons aspect, and the euro-style resource management of each ship's energy and crew. I think this game could be a proper hit far beyond the campaign.
Looks like they are trying to play on the nostalgia of those of us who grew up watching Star Blazers. Does it have a Wave Motion Gun?
Also looks like the 250k unlock is Raxora WCD Light Assault Carrier for the Combined Army and Don Peyote Repurposed Freighter for Nomads.
Kinda brings up a question, where was it when JSA needed firepower most during Uprising UPD. There's a lore pdf for It that somewhat explains what was going on during upriring.
New strecht goals, Dong Peyote is coming. https://scarhandpainting.com/gallery/dong-peyote-special-project/ Spoiler: where it all started Normally the 250k will be passed tomorrow.
And now, with 250.087€, Acheron fall is fully funded and there's still one day to go. Time to create non planned rewards
