This kind of stop?

Unfortunately I doubt the player base will allow it. I refer to the summer of rage. SC isn't an MMORPG.
In SC people play space pilots and they have the option to play on one universe, be merchants, pirates who gank them and so on.
The first part is RPG, the latter is MMO, together I'd say it's MMORPG enough. Unless you don't consider "MMO" pirates ganking merchants, in which case EvE is not a MMO either.
It'll probably be a sort of SWTOR "single player friendly but you still play in a MMO" gameplay.

SC has currently 407k or so backers, which is as close to "subs" as it gets.
You'd say: "well, that's not a lot"!
Then I remind you how EvE, after 10+ years, is about at the same numbers.
Then I remind you how MMOs like Istaria / WAR online have 4-5k subs yet they are / were called MMOs.

Bernie Maddoff also made a lot of promises and had a lot of backers/investors too. But you know what Bernie and SC really have in common?
Neither one has yet to produce a game I can actually play.
Yeah a 40M project has certainly to be delivered *well polished* by 1 year, like all the MMOs ever produced!
Oh wait, they always take 2-3 years at a minimum and come PAX they should showcase the dogfight module.

Your point mentioned Bernie Madoff, which is a bit different than taking 2-3 years to code a game.

Your point mentioned Bernie Madoff, which is a bit different than taking 2-3 years to code a game. You are correct, Bernie's name was mentioned, but that was not the point. Selective reading comprehension for the win! I bolded the relevant bits for you. (I know... reading is HARD).
I selectively read, when people selectively hint.
