Any Kickstarter Type Sub Sims?

[scrapser]

Chris Roberts and David Braben are currently working on incredibly detailed space sims (Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous respectively). I'm hoping crowd source funding becomes the answer to our collective dream of military sims being made possible by people (like us) who are drooling to pay for quality simulations that are impossible using the game development formula used by the big publishing houses that just want to cater to the masses (aka casual gamers) for a nice profit.

Chris Roberts has been a vocal supporter for games being developed for the sake of the game and not simply making money. So with all this said, has anyone heard any rumors of have any leads on a new sub sim (or other military platform for that matter)? I think it's tragic that we have all this amazing computer power today and nobody using it to develop accurate and detailed military sims because most people just want instant gratification type games.
