    that sounds reasonable. With some spare cash, I might just buy the retail and sell the game code.

    my twitch could use more viewers, I might set up a contest where someone in my twitch, renx ingame, and ts3, will receive it gifted.

    might. Not sure I could get many or few people to join my twitch and renx for a match.

    Uber, is this correct? Progenitor and alpha are KS only right?

    Also, what is the collectors edition? Is that yet to be announced? Or is that the cosmic limited edition (the one with physical stuff)?

    The game was still in alpha when I bought it, which might explain it. There was also something about orders which said it included some stuff it shouldn't have but they couldn't back out, maybe what I got was one of those.

    Actually: I think 25/3/2013 was even pre-alpha. 2 months before before the first test-build was released. So you are still an early backer. Even though the Delta commander was already moved from the 90$+ tier to the 200$+ tier at that point.

    First published alpha release was on 6/6/2013.

    They were supposed to be, but got included in the Cosmic Edition as well by mistake.

    By mistake?
    Don't think so, at least not for the sales which took place pre-alpha.

    Only the digital cosmic edition which was made available at some point in late alpha / early beta kind of breaks the rules.

    That might be it. I was alpha participant too, so otherwise I would have these commanders. If he bought the alpha for $90, then, at least that's how I understand it, you shouldn't have those commanders. But if it was indeed pre-alpha, but after the KS ended, then what? Uber please clarify what happens with the period between KS and alpha.

    $90 is galactic, not cosmic.

    I got a response from mkrater a while back, explaining that the $90 post-KS tier didn't include the two commanders. Which is right.

    So please explain if the period between pre-alpha and post-KS counts as early backer, meaning that you would get those commanders or not.

    Yes, by mistake. They were never listed as part of the Cosmic Edition. Same for Galactic Edition.

    Either it was after that was fixed, or Steam version?

    I had to make my purchase on steam because the uberstore didn't work at first.

    Now, If steam is the issue, then something is wrong with the way of how uber did this. If someone pays for a tier on the uberstore, and then someone else pays the same amount on the same day somewhere else like steam or humblebundle, then you should get the same content right? You can't just say if you purchase on this site, for the same price at the same time, you'll get more. That' s unfair.

    So if a bug was the case that some people who purchased on the uberstore have inappropriate commanders, why hasn't that been fixed yet?

    I'd say remove the commanders from the people where they don't belong to, In my eyes they are KS and cosmic exclusive, so that's how they should be.

    Do you have besides the alpha and beta badge, another special badge in the armory?

    I know... I had the same problem, I bought it on Steam, I actually made a whole rant about it a while back! I was pretty disappointing (not mad.. just disappointed) I then ended up buying the 200$ cosmic edition just for the comms. :p

    The reason steam didn't get them is because of how steam limits Uber, they limit it so that everyone must get the same package on steam early access, so if they let you have it, they'd have to let everyone have those comms. Also, the Uber store buyers weren't supposed to have the comms in the first place. :p

    Oh and they can't take them back because it's written on your receipt.

    I always say this just, putting it out there for consideration, not to start an argument. :)

    It's always laid out to you what you're getting in exchange for your currency. It's not Uber's job to do your research for you. There always will be different deals in different storefronts, be it digital video game sales, or food products in the shop.

    Collectors edition is this. As far as we know the two commanders that are included in that are Calyx and Gamma which I believe are timed exclusives.
