Patch 0.17.3: Pledge, Confirmed

Whatever rail you back it on, the pledge lands clean.

This patch finishes the Charter checkout. Back with a card or a HIVE transfer, and your pledge now confirms on the spot and lands you a redesigned receipt in your inbox. The Back the Charter button moved into the banner too, so it is one tap away from anywhere on the site.


🔧 Improved

Charter Checkout, Start to Finish

Backing the Charter is now a complete, polished flow from the first click to the confirmation. Pick your amount, pay by card or with a one-click HIVE Keychain transfer, and land on a confirmation reveal that shows the tier and bundle your pledge secures. No more blank payment box while the card form loads, clearer messages when a card is declined, and an in-app notification the moment your pledge is received. Still no wallet and no game account needed just to back the game.

A Receipt Worth Keeping

Every Charter backer now gets a redesigned receipt in their inbox, styled as a Certificate of Support. A full-bleed charter hero runs across the top, your pledge amount sits large and clear, and a clean line spells out your tier, your payment method, and the date it landed. It reads like something you would want to keep, not a plain confirmation stub. Available in English and German.

The Charter, One Pill Away

The gold Back the Charter button moved out of the header menu and into the campaign banner that rides the top of every page, now a clean, compact gold pill with its own scroll mark. While the campaign is live you can jump straight to the Charter from anywhere, and Join the Alpha takes its spot back in the header.

🐛 Fixed

Receipts for the Early Backers

If you backed the Charter before receipts existed, you never got one. We went back and sent the redesigned receipt to every early backer who was missing it, so everyone who has pledged now has their Certificate of Support on file.

Gold Frames on All Four Sides

Gold Fighters were losing the bottom edge of their gold frame in the card image, so the border only wrapped three sides. The gold frame now renders cleanly all the way around, and a gold card sits at exactly the same size as a standard one.

The Promo Fighter, Shown in Full

On the Charter page, the promo Fighter you unlock was revealing behind a doubled frame that clipped its own art. It now shows its full card, edge to edge, the way the artwork was meant to be seen.

The Charter stays open through closed alpha and pays out at launch. Thanks for backing the final sprint, and fly safe.
