    If you got the game via steam then you just play the game though steam. You will receive your pre-order perks at the same the same time as everyone else.

    What are the advantages in linking the uber and steam account? Is it just for a community "purpose"? I would really prefer to continue using the normal launcher without having steam opened; by the way I read that you can still use the uber launcher without steam after the link so, after all, there is nothing to "lose" in the operation isn't it?.

    No practical benefit other than automated patching.

    I haven't linked Steam, and I have no plans to do so. The Uber Launcher has worked fine for me so far.

    The only benefit from using the steam launcher is steam. You can play through steam. 'Bout it.

    Users who purchased Planetary Annihilation through Steam are not expected to have game keys. Only users who purchased PA through Kickstarter or the Uber store will have game keys listed in their "My Keys" page. This is because with a Steam purchase, Steam itself is responsible for tracking the ownership status of the game, whereas with Uber purchases ownership of the game is tracked by activation key.

    We're unable to upgrade Steam purchases through the Uber Store, but we are looking into adding more to the Store so Steam users can "upgrade" in other ways. :)

    i have a couple questions regrading the offline feature,
    • is there any threads that describe offline feature
    • what would offline feature be like
    • would you be able to play a offline match, and stay connected to the server?
    • will there be in-game features that will be restricted to online play

    Describe the offline feature? I don't follow. It's simple. You don't have to connect to the internet to play.

    If you're connected to the server, then you're online.

    There's no difference between online and offline play aside from you're not connected to the internet.

    The only feature that will be restricted to online play is playing against other live players – aside from LAN mode.

    Of course. This is even listed in the confirmed features list and is asked frequently on the forums.

    Where are keybinds stored? In any file? I'd like to make a backup of my keybinds.

    Right now it isn't possible to completely destroy a planet. Only moons that are smashed are completely destroyed.

    There are no known plans for us to be able to move planets larger than 350. I remember Uber saying large planets won't be moveable. Don't have a source – just a memory.

    Here's the planet moving requirements: http://pamatches.com/wiki/buildings/defensive/halley/
