Star Citizen Crowdfunding Hits $29M [Nov 23, 2013, 1:11 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Roberts Space Industries website announces that the crowd-sourced
fundraising for Star Citizen as the PC space combat game has now passed
the $29 million mark. This triggers a new stretch goal, and it seems their
imaginations are losing pace with the funding, as this just promises to spend
it, as "additional funding for the Squadron 42 single–player experience," and
this new trailer
offers an explanation of the game's single-player experience. Here's word on how
fans can help with the writer's block for their next stretch goal, if it hasn't
been reached already by the time this is posted: "Now it’s time for you to pick
the $32 million stretch goal ship. We’ve removed the winner and the
lowest-performing option from the last poll. What will it be now? A massive
cargo hauler, a speedy information runner, a dedicated salvage ship? The choice
is in your hands!"

I think hiring more people to get the game out sooner would be a good stretch goal.
There's a point of rapidly diminishing returns on that, though, if they're all in one team.
And if you keep splitting stuff off into multiple teams who each work on their own section, you run the risk of winding up with a game where the separate parts don't click. See Assassin's Creed. (It was terrible in 3, but even in 4 there are some things that really feel out of place, for example the 'stealth' system.)
Getting an extra million bucks and all you have to do is put in an extra ship seems like a fairly easy-to-do and sweet deal for them.
