With the hanger module coming out later today (hopefully), the dogfighting alpha in December, and whatever sales drives they decide to put on in the meantime those slots are likely to disappear fast
I really hope this game is amazing (and actually gets released), but the skeptic in me gets more worried every time they announce some new 'limited-time-only' offer that I should sign up for right away before the deal is gone.

I understand that it is financing the game through its early adopters, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Besides, if the game intends to have any success post-release, it is going to have to offer newcomers added incentive. If the first 100,000 people who signed up get Mega-Death-Stars with replacement insurance, there aren't going to be many people signing up to fly an armorless Regellian trash hauler.
