I couldn't find any updates on this after a quick search. Are Alex and the team aware of it? I would hope it's a relatively easy fix.

I began a thread on the RPS forums at some point last year. Didn't occur to me to email the staff in the hopes they'd post something. More people is a good thing!

...I'm pretty sure the devs don't want to shoot themselves in the foot by not marketing their game to as many distributors as possible! 

I understand what you're saying, but it would seem that the DRM-free approach should appeal to all potential customers who want to play the game, considering you aren't required to use any external software. Don't get me wrong, I'm super enthusiastic about my 178 (full-stop what) games on Steam because it's a fantastic service, but I'm generally happier giving indie devs with the no-DRM philosophy and -- say, GOG.com -- my money. I preordered SF because the concept, gameplay and aesthetic are what I've been searching for in a game; no DRM is delicious icing on the cake.

In other words, I've never thought, "That game looks fantastic! Shame it's only on [software], otherwise I'd totally buy and play the crap out of it." I have said this about hardware, though. Damn you Demon's Souls!

I'm not sure when the "all my things in one place" became such a desirable attribute, either. If it's on my computer where I can readily access it, I'm happy.

I think spider is talking about the side buttons on most gaming mice (WM_XBUTTONDOWN in the windows API) - And it really sucks that you cant bind to them.  The number of times I just miss pressing 'v' in time to vent flux is so frustrating, a side button was the first thing I tried to rebind it to.

That' exactly what I mean. I haven't tried mapping it via the Logitech software yet, and I know that will work, but an in-game solution would be fantastic. An understandably low-priority issue.

Everything looks fantastic! How did you create the starry backgrounds -- strictly PS?

Suggestions / Multi-button mouse support

Perhaps it's just my mouse (Logitech G500), but I can't seem to bind commands to my alternate buttons. I'd love to be able to flush flux from the mouse. I'm sure I can configure it with the Logitech profile software, but in-game solutions are always welcome. Would this be difficult to implement?

Preordered last night and thoroughly enjoying what I've played so far. Thanks for your hard work! I can't wait to see how Starfarer develops.
