Good! Especially if the single-player campaign will be offered DRM-free (not necessarily from GOG, but I wouldn't mind that either of course). My chances of buying this game have increased tenfold, but only after it is ready.
I still feel the MMO part might work even better as free-to-play (Chris would get money from MMO players buying ships and stuff, I guess), but maybe that's not viable due to the people who already paid for the kickstarter, and it is meh to me either way.
EDIT: Then again, maybe this division is the developer's way of admitting that he is chewing a bit too big piece. I make a wild guess that for now he is concentrating only on the multiplayer/MMO-part, and then maybe later look into the single-player part? I make this guess because he probably believes there is more financial potential for biiig monies in the MMO model (providing it is successful) than a single-player campaign, and creating a good single-player campaign is a massive work in itself. Yeah the MMO part is too, but in a different way...
