We’re hard at work preparing to make the Steam launch a success, but I just wanted to take a moment to share the ways that our community can help spread the word of our Steam launch both before and after we hit June 12th.
Wish-listing on Steam
We are really close to a major milestone in our wishlist counts. We’ve got the largest email campaign we’ve ever undertaken underway and it’s yielding great results, but we need even more! Every wishlist counts, and the sooner we can hit higher numbers the more people we’ll be able to reach with our launch. Please add the game to your wishlist if you haven’t already, and if you haven’t ask your friends to do so as well!
Play the game through Steam
Once we launch, it will help us greatly if you download and play the game through Steam. The more players we have playing through Steam, the more likely we are to get featured as a popular new release, so this is very important! Ideally, all of our existing players would play through Steam for the 30 days after we launch.
To help encourage this, we’re going to be having a launch event exclusive to players playing through Steam.
This will include:
- 50% bonus to XP from all sources, if playing through Steam.
- An exclusive holo-projector granted to you, the first time you login through Steam.
Purchases through Steam
Purchasing any of our offerings through Steam helps us earn a higher placement on the new releases section of Steam. We’ve got some really good deals to make it worth it, so if you’re able I hope that you’ll consider them!
Steam Starter Pack
We’ll be offering a starter pack, available exclusively through Steam on June 12th. This will include: 3 months of subscription, 5 exclusive skins to low level ships, and a unique holoprojector that you won’t be able to get anywhere else. The base cost will be $19.99 but we’ll be discounting it during the week after our launch. This is a really good deal even just for the subscription time itself!
Bonus Space Points
When buying space points through Steam for a short period of time after launch, we’ll be offering a bonus 10 Space Points with every purchase (even the 20 SP bundle!). This is the first time we’ve ever offered a discount on space points, and not something we’re planning on doing again anytime soon!
