If you don't want to commit too much money into pre-alpha project, ANY AMOUNT backers (that means even $1) are offered plenty of rewards from all the stretch goals. Even a bike! You can back with any amount on this IndieGoGo page. I'll list and update the stretch goals here as well as their unlocked status for convenience.

1,000 backers - Reward (Unlocked): All backers will receive the Deepstrike Omniframe skin (black with red accents), which allows you to visually (cosmetic only) "teleport in" with your frame instead of having it dropped by drop-ship. (light/med/heavy frames included).

1,250 backers - Reward (Unlocked): All backers will receive a "founder flag" that signifies you are one of the very first to back Em-8ER. These flags are attached and worn on the back of your Omniframe like a warbanner.

$95,000 - Reward (Unlocked): CHROMA bike skin for the Thunder Bumpin Bike, the ONLY bike that will EVER be in the game, exclusive to ALL backers this fundraiser. This bike skin has GLOW strips where you can control and blend colors, or cycle them, just like popular LED gaming peripherals.

Are you sure it's IndieGoGo's fault and not of campaign owner or PayPal? I've googled up and down and haven't found a single instance where IndieGoGo wouldn't fulfill any obligations. But I did find dozens if not hundreds of horror stories where PayPal froze crowdfunding funds killing numerous projects with successful campaigns in their tracks (probably reason why IndieGoGo, Kickstarter and plenty of others ditched them for Stripe).

PayPal is overconfident jerk who thinks all money they receive is their property and that crowdfunding is illegal source of income they need to put tight control on:

Paypal freezes half of developer’s indiegogo campaign funds
Paypal and Crowdfunding: don’t do it
GlassUp raised $100K on Indiegogo — but PayPal is refusing to pay up until campaigner releases final product
PayPal freezes $45,000 of Mailpile’s crowdfunded dollars and demands "itemized budget" before releasing funds

We've had two fundraiser so far on IndieGoGo without a major issue. I'll keep an eye on it. You can also pledge directly.

It's been amazing. Bring on the work

Is it possible for my FF forum account to have been reset? Because I've been with FF since the beginning, since beta, and went all in with Founder, but when logging in to FF forums for the first time in a long while, all of my settings were reset, timezone, avatar, Founder badge, title link, etc. were all gone.

If you are sure you have Ensign/Lieutenant or Commander pack activated on your account I can validate you manually, for that I need to access your FF account real quick to see if everything is in order. I'll need your username and password. If sharing password is a concern you can change it to something else temporarily and then change it back after verification is complete.
Send it in PM!
