Hey Legate, I backed it way back when but it was a day after the initial kickstarter ended but was when you extended it a few days on Paypal. I went in at the E TU COSA FAI? level, would I still be able to particapate in the kickstarter beta or would I be SOL?

Didn't want to start a new thread but had three smaller questions I was hoping to get answered. Firstly I was really up on these styled games to much but from alot of my research several of them rely on "generics" to fill out rosters (Panzer Waltz seemed like a big offender of this one). When the developers say 120 ships are they meaning 120 fleshed out ships? Or say 60-80 fleshed out ones and the rest as generic with no real story? Second, I came late to the party and wasn't able to pledge in the initial campaign but got in before the first of the month on the paypal one. Should I assume that I'll still be locked out of the kickstarter discussions themselves since by Kickstarters standards the paypal donaters aren't true backers? Finally I hear it repeated very often that this is going to be Victory Belles 39'. Is it safe to assume that long after post launch if successful that the creator will simply move it forward one year to make Victory Belles 40' and so on. Or is 39' just donating the start of the game and that alternate means of going forward are being discussed?

A friend of mine who isn't really interested in the nature of the Belles themselves but just the framework of a srpg game that made use of navy ships, stated that he would hope to find that odd duck that was the USS Alaska CB-1 at some point. Odd because it along with it's sole sister ship were the only two to hold the title of Large Cruiser and were the closest contemporary to the foreign battlecruiser designation. But unlike battlecruisers were not treated as true capital ships. Seems like there is some groundwork to play around with from the design itself. They were launched much later than 39' but after reading about the design it is one I'd hope to see in later years of the game.
