Greenlight

When will it be there? I want this on Steam too :D.
The Early Access program would fit it quite well, don't you think?

As can be seen here.

Why not publish the game on Steam Greenlight?

Hi there! :)

Steam Greenlight is a great platform for indie games and its likely that Starsector will eventually use it (or other means to get on Steam). That time, however, has not yet come. Starsector still needs a bit to mature, I'm sure when it's ready the developers will make their move on steam. Here's what the lead developer said about the idea:

"Guys - I appreciate the thought, but I really don't feel like Starsector is ready for this kind of exposure. Please don't do anything on my behalf to make that happen - I think it could end up causing serious problems, both for the development of the game, the community, and, indeed, my mental health :) "

As a general advice: It is a good idea to use the search function (upper right corner) to see if anyone posted a similar suggestion before ;)

stuff
What Faiter119 is trying to say (in a slightly less than nice manner :P lol) is please use the search function fro big common topics like greenlight, kickstarter, and multi-player. By the way if no one has said it yet welcome to the forum.

@FloW: Nice to see that you use the FMS replies, but the right way to use them is not to link to the thread or quote them. Just copy&paste the text, it's written to work that way.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
