Chris Roberts’ Star Citizen continues to rake in the crowdfunding dollars — I’m told that over the last few days, the game’s website and in fact has surpassed the $15 million mark. That means a couple of things for those of you who have backed the game:

The $15 million unlock adds another flyable ship class to the game, the oft-discussed escort carrier. Every backer will also get a free digital 42-page Upgrade Handbook manual with their game which goes through the process of customizing and overclocking ship systems! We’re excited about putting this one together, since it goes right to the heart of what’s going to make Star Citizen unique.

Additionally, two more stretch goals — $16 million and $17 million — have been announced, which will see the addition of such niceties as an arena mode (and laser pistols for pilots, to help repel boarders) and a flyable battlecruiser ship class.

Strangely, “Squeeeeee!” doesn’t quite seem to cover the level of excitement here.
