There's also the feature "Create Desktop Shortcut" from the Steam client
But (afaik) it is impossible to create a taskbar shortcut and that is one of the reasons I hate steam :( .

But you can attach the 'SpaceEngine.exe' file from the 'system' folder to the taskbar!

Yes of course! Provided it is outside Steam's "Imprisoned subfolder(s)"! That is exactly what I've done with my old 0.980 SpaceEngine.exe that resides happily in my Program Files(x86)\SpaceEngine\System folder :) .
But now that SE will reside inside Steams prison I will no longer have this freedom :(

OK I thought this was impossible to do with Steam apps - I just checked it with Universe Sandbox and the taskbar shortcut actually works - Thanks JackDole! I am pretty sure you couldn't do that with steam apps a certain time ago :?  - You can definitely NOT do it by dragging the desktop shortcut that you just created from the steam client to the taskbar.

Probably it's possible, but let us know when you finished with the first one ;)

it would be cool to explore different universes with different laws of physics.

I dont think computers would be able to handle that kind of computation, we’d probably have to wait until commercialized quantum computers become affordable and supported, space engineer would the somehow have to incorporate those kinds of calculations, etc. Otherwise you’d have to fake it, which wouldnt be that interesting in the long run.

After purchase the 0.990,could you run it via clicking the exe files directly, without the lengthy login process to Steam. D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\SpaceEngine\system\SpaceEngine.exe
Incorrect, it will not run that way. It must be launched through the Steam client.

And Steam does not have a "lengthy login process", if you keep your Steam client always open (like I do), or if you have it save your credentials (save username/password) then login is immediate.
But you do not need the Steam client on the computer you are purchasing it from, you just need the username/password or email address to use on the game page you linked to earlier correct?  And once done, then it can be used on the computer on which the Steam client is located! :)  Any idea at what time the game will be able to be purchased and downloaded tomorrow?

Also, HD, on Reddit, you mentioned that a price had been set for the Pro version?  What will its price be and will it be available on the 11th?

Yes, but you need an internet connection to download it, in which case you might as well buy it from there to begin with.

Aiming for 9am UTC, but it might vary from that.

It will be available at launch for $59.99 (in addition to the purchase price for the base version, as Pro is an addon package, not a standalone version).

What will Pro actually do aside from licensing?
