Okay so I am a founder (hence the badge), but have no access to the new DLC. Checked the DLC tab in the properties window in steam. No luck. Any thoughts? 



You may be a founder, however, are you an elite founder?  I don't remember if the regular founders get a badge as well...

Oooooooooooooooooo.

Sad day, I had forgotten there was a distinction. Can't say I recall why I shelled out full price so long in advance now, if not for DLC. I know some people are big fans of the early-access thing, but I found the game entirely unplayable until release, and am not into the technical side of game development, so I guess I made a huge mistake in supporting early.

Next time I'll make sure to wait until months after release to take advantage of huge steam sales, I guess.

Or look at the founders elite program for future games through Stardock, yes you pay more up front, however, then you don't have to worry as you get all that. :)

So I won an elite founder status from one of the streams, but don't see this DLC listed under GalCiv's properties in my Steam - just the ship parts one. Is this a bug?

I'd suggest contacting support about this.
