Very well explained and presented! Looks very cool.

I really enjoyed the art style of the "motion graphics" of the video. I'm sure you've got all sorts of ideas of game related content, but maybe a mechanism that "records" (keeps track of your decisions) and assembles a "motion comic" at the end of the round/game for you to watch later would be super cool! Writing your "story" using your gameplay decisions!
Basically you'd have pre recorded animations that would be assembled based on info sent from the game - "at this decision point you chose (A), which lead to (B)" = animation of ship crashing into asteroid etc. I'm sure there's some fancy coding that would allow you to store the clips elsewhere (YouTube) and then make a "playlist" to play the events in order. Maybe watch them on YouTube - and get add revenue from that. People could watch other "stories" as well. Might need another Kickstarter campaign to hire animators though <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
Good work. Got me thinking about stuff, so that's a good thing!
LOVE the tagline "In space no one can hear your decisions" - brilliant!
Good luck!
