Congrats opn getting it going. I will have to decide on which option I will go with soon.
 
Very cool! I'm in for $100. I can't wait to see the rocket and other Shrox swag! Good luck with the project!
 
I am half freaked out and scared, and half wildly excited.

Sort of like getting strapped in for a bungee jump? Sounds like the right reaction!

Starting your own business is truly an adventure, but I have 100 bucks that says you will do well. Good luck!
 
Shrox,

I don't know if you can still edit, but I think there is a typo in the $250 level. You say "two (3) different Shrocket T-shirts". No one is at that level yet, so maybe you can head off confusion down the road.

Thanks for catching that! It's fixed now:

"Star Captain: For showing your support for the Hobby of Space, you will receive two (2) Shrockets of your choice, and three (3) different Shrocket T-shirts, two (2) different Shrocket decals and a signed Shrocket poster. Flowers have no allergens for you because you believed."
 
I think I was the fourth one to sign up. Some generous soul committed $1000!

The total looks to be moving pretty good :) I'll be jumping in first of the month. I got spare cash, XPRS got canceled for me so that's a big chunk of rocketry change cut loose.
 
I must say, the video is much better, the music too. BTW, I was visiting the local Hobby Town a few weeks ago checking out the rocket section, I don't usually because their prices are insane, but I spotted one of your designs, I can't remember the name but it's not one in your video I guess it's one through Quest and the price was three times what it can be found for on line.

Good luck with the endeavor, I still have my eye on a couple designs. I still haven't flown the Lexx Jet yet, it's just been too stinking hot and miserable plus alot of life has been getting in the way lately. When the weather cools down I'm planning a Sci-Fi launch day.

Will be watching
Mark

awesome, now I need to scrape together at least $50. Video is much nicer, a few changes that I think would help would be a physical link to Shrockets.com on the page and a list of what counts as mid-levels rockets, also I think in one of the draft pages you had stills of the new kits, I think those should come back as well. Good luck
 
Here is the new look of the page.

https://www.shrockets.com/

Alpha Ray Level are the novice designs
Beta Ray Level rockets are the mid level designs
Gamma Ray Level rockets are the experienced level designs

I'll be adding description pages for each model.

And more to come!
 
I would second a few things that mjennings said.

The video looks great!

Still pictures of the rockets that are part of the offer would be good. I assume they are the ones featured in the video. A person might be misled into thinking that the Apogee and Dynastar kits shown in some of the pictures might be part of the offer. So a clear illustration of the kits that are part of the Kickstarter offer and a breakdown of what counts as a mid-level kit would be good.

It might also be a good thing to have photos of the other rewards that are part of the offer as well --- decals, shirts, posters, etc.

It's designed pretty well as is, but these changes would help to clarify exactly what is being offered.

Good luck!

I can't change the rewards text now, but I did add the website in reference.

Adding the link to the updated website and also adding the paragraph above the photos on the Kickstarter page helps to make it clearer what is included in the offer and what is not. That's a good change.

The video might still be a little misleading, because it shows some rockets not on the Shrocket website, and a person will probably assume they are all part of the offer.

At this point I can't do much to change it. The designs will be released, as they are part of the $1000 and up rewards.

Do you mean that all the designs featured in the video are part of the $1000 and up rewards? If so, then it's perfectly fine for them to be in the video. As time permits, you might want to add them all to the Shrockets website in an appropriate category.
