Thought so.
So no point in people saying "I can't afford it now, I'll pay after xmas".
Get it pledged!

Why not ask your question on the kickstarter comments page there is a rep there most of the time
I have, also sent them a message but no reply. Just want to know if landing on planets will be in for release. At this stage I would certainly do what I can to support the customers. They even came here and said ask questions.
I would be astonished if landing on planets wasn't included since it was a key part of Elite 2 and I would imagine the only real benefit of procedural generation is the extra surface detail that it would give compared to Frontier. They've already demonstrated the generation of atmospheric clouds, so I doubt you won't be able to fly into the atmosphere and land.
I've said I'll pledge & I will but I will do it when I want too, not when some oik on a forum tells me I should as it'll make no difference when I pledge as long as I do it prior to the end of the Kickstarter
Why?
It's a good video, showing live footage, so goes against what some people are saying that nothing's been done so far.
I'm with you, I think it looks pretty encouraging
Also good that they're thinking seriously about the in-game economy at this stage too. Elite lends itself SO well to the MMO genre, but those games have a nasty habit of finding one particular activity that yields the best results by far.

One for you Ashley if you are still here. In Elite and rontier, their was no overall real time. If you died, you restarted at your last save point and time. If the new Elite is going to change in time, that can't happen. You respawn or whatever and things have moved on. It could be weeks or months have passed. So much could have happened in that time that a restart would not be feasible. How is it planned as to what happens after you have been killed.
Should have shown this vid at the start and more ppl would have pledged i know i probably would have. Tho the tiers are still way overpriced compared to star citizens for example in sc i have the game and alpha and beta access for 21 quid or somit which was 35 dollers. Elite thinks they are worth more and are charging 100 quid for first round and 2nd round of betas and a digi copy. Quite a difference in price for basically the same type of game which varys slightly in certain aspects. Now if elite had a 30 quid digi copy and alpha and beta access with the video just posted i would have said shut up and take my money but alas..
So for me they have kinda made me not want to pledge for this even tho i want the game. Too expensive pledges for what it is.

The current chit chat in the kickstarter comments is that this planet landing subject could be addressed this Friday.
There will be some kind of cockpit style view not sure to what degree. TrackIR support seems likely going on the posts on the forums about it but its probably not going to be a priority to get it working for release necessarily (can't say for sure what their plans are tho - only the drift of whats been mentioned on the frontier forums).
I would have thought they would put that in tbh. Doubt they have done that yet or else they would have shown it for the wow factor unless they are leaving it for the final push. Which would be a rather strange decision. They are coming along nicely though. Although their progress in this time does rather fly in the face of their assertion they've been working on it for years. But I like the look of it from an aesthetic point of view - no pointless colouration and additions that would make it seem all well non-spacey.

Trending towards only 92% of the required goal now 
So unless there is a massive upturn on pledges this is not going to make it
Come on people, this could be a fantastic game, stick some cash in now!

Even I think it will make it! And I am Mr Sceptical in this thread. People will up their pledges, people who are hanging on will get drink over Christmas and say ar **** it and pledge anyway probably even more than they were going to!
