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.

A couple things.
1. Given the release schedule being modularized, I think the vapourware likelihood is very low.
2. The vast majority of current backers have pretty basic ships, like new players will have after launch (Aurora, 300i).
3. There have been 2 promotions since the end of the Kickstarter campaign. One for the Aurora and one for the 300i... basic ships. LTI was given to people who backed the game early, it is no longer available and hasn't been for a couple months.
4. They have severely limited the number of large ships available, and their cost has been very very high.
