Pfft, die hätten sich wenigstens die Mühe machen und eine wirklich witzige Projektbeschreibung verfassen können.
Totally unimpressive... :gaehn:
[h=3]FAQ[/h]
- Can we destroy Pluto/Earth/Another planetary body?
Any decisions on targets will be based on donator pledge amount, higher pledges first. The amount is unimportant but you will be required to pay for shipping.

- What kind of hardware will you use?
Nothing has been ruled out at this point including the suggestion of using a beowulf cluster of Raspberry Pi devices.

- If you actually raise the required amount what will you do with the money?
Purchase at least 4m sq of high grade chicken wire. We are hoping the death star plans will have at least twice the resolution of the initial design.

- Did you forget to account for the ~10% Kickstarter and Amazon get at the end of the project?
No, as we feel if we can actually raise £543 quadrillion pounds then Kickstarter certainly deserves their cut. As for Amazon, we're sure they'll agree to refund the fees once the station is complete.

- Will it be solar powered?
Unlikely as it would make travel between solar systems more dangerous.

- Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the downfall of the first Death Star due to open source plans?
No, the first Death Stars was closed source and the theft of the plans resulting in the loss of many Bothan lives. Had the previous Death Star plans been more open, someone might have spotted the obvious design flaw. We believe that an open source project is safer, cheaper and better for everyone.

- Will there be an Ipod dock, USB Ports, a wookie hair salon, guest rooms on the Open Source Death Star?
The plans will be finalized once the project reaches it's funding goal.
[h=3]FAQ[/h]
- Are many Bothans working on this project?
Yes, but since the new Death Star will be open source, no Bothan lives need be sacrificed. Just because the Death Star plans are open source, however, doesn't make the existence of such a planet destroyer any less dangerous.
We would like to assure you that no Gungans are working on this project.

- Did Han shoot first?
You bet your blaster, he did!

- Isn't your goal a little low to build an X-Wing Squadron?
Aren't you a little short to be a Storm Trooper? What's with the inquisition? We're the Rebel Alliance. We're scrappy and work on a low budget. We also have lower overheads without all the bureaucratic red tape of the Empire. Besides, our goal gets us a single X-wing and pilot. Our stretch goals get us a whole squadron and possibly a Millenium Falcon.

- Will you be including targeting computers? Because, while it seems like a standard component, there is evidence to suggest they're quite useless when taking down a Death Star.
Although targeting computers will be standard equipment, we'd prefer it if our pilots trust in the power of the Force.
