Is Early Access Available or just Prototype?

from Stardock Forums

Thinking about buying the game soon, however, I was wondering if the game is available for the regular founders (early access) or is it only currently available for founders elite (Prototype)?

Thanks

Okay I think I got my answer even though no one replied.  I did purchase the Founders edition and it says available soon.  So I'm assuming early access is not available yet.  Being the Prototype has been available now for 6 months approx, how much longer for early access?

i recomend İf you find a buddy who wants this game upgrade your order. Because you pay same price for 2 keys and enjoy your prototype now!

Yeah, it's not in Early Access right now.  You'll just have to stay tuned for news about updates. :)

Yeah that was the only real reason I could see other than getting access to the prototype to spend the extra $45 to get the Elite Founders Edition.  Unfortunately most of the people I game with I meet online therefore I don't know anyone else that's interested in splitting the cost with me and I don't trust anyone online to get me their part of the cost.  So, I can't justify an extra $45 just to get access to the prototype, just to give away the key.  Thanks though for the reply eneskadi. 

On the other note, attempted to look you up, found one option but no profile so couldn't add you to my friend list.

Truthfully I wish there was something in between the Elite Founder and the current Founder's edition, being right now someone with a friend can either get a key from someone else or pay $20 with their friends coupon code and get access to the game, (just not to Founder's Vault), where as the Founder, get's access to the Founders Vault but no access to the game. :(  I would gladly pay an extra $10 to play the prototype, but not $45 :(

Oh well, here's looking forward to when the game is available for early release.

Thanks, Island Dog, for the reply hopefully we'll hear more about the anticipated schedule soon.

Well, the site for Offworld Trading Company is currently down so maybe their updating it? :)

Nah, I already purchased the Founders Edition, so I'll just have to wait.  Thanks for the offer though.
