    That was only possible during the Kickstarter campaign, which has been over for years now.

    Question why on game support it tells you how to redeem other rewards for tier backers if that is not thing anymore or is it? I am confused.

    You can't become a backer any more but those who were backers back then still are now and can still claim their backer rewards (as far as I know).

    Not everyone chose to try out the game (or even follow its development) right away. I still see some people mention how they're waiting for release day (and have been since the beginning), which is totally fine. It's their choice. As far as I'm aware, no one was required to claim their rewards right after Starbound was funded on Kickstarter. However, for some of the rewards (custom weapon etc in game) I imagine that it would be harder to get such things added after the official release (that being said, if it does become an issue I'm sure Chucklefish would work something out).

    The Solarium Tier items and such are going to be obtainable by everyone once they're in. So don't worry about that if that's why you're asking.

    ^ This, ChuckleFish probably should have explained what they meant by "working on Solarium Tier backer items"

    There was no such thing as a Starbound Kickstarter, unless you are referring to the Starbound plushie one (which failed...).

    Starbound had a pre-order system, and people who bought larger and larger pre-order packages got more and more rewards for doing so, through the Humble Store.

    You are correct, it was through the Humble Store (with stretch goals) and not Kickstarter, my bad.

    It's a moot point as the OP can't become a backer now anyways.

    Can confirm that the rewards for our backing will be available for everybody.

    So no worries and sorry if you missed it: but that was years ago, so...

    I think Lightning simply means you preordered the game. Maybe you got an extra thing or two there.

    You'd know if you got one of the special design tiers, as they were quite expensive (Solarium was 1000$)

    Lightning Badge is given for the fourth highest rank. There were a couple of tiers above it.

    If memory serves, your tier means you get your name in the credits. I know the tier below that (mine) lets you name an NPC.

    Pixel Tier (i.e. the game and nothing else) gives no badge, but every tier above that had a corresponding badge.

    ah, ok.
    so, the tiers are completely separate? if someone had the rank above mine, they wouldn't get their name in the credits as well?

    They would get their name in the credits, plus something else. Each tier gets everything the tiers beneath them get.
