hey just wondering if it would be possible for you to make this game some trading cards for steam i would love more than any other game to have a foil evochron mercenary badge and emotes and backgrounds and such probably more work for vice but i think it would add another facet for the community to enjoy and even small profits for the devs! just a suggestion but i think its something worth thinking about i myself love the steam trading card economy

Personally, I'm waiting to buy one of those 3D printers so I can print out a model of my ship.

Trading cards (including badges and emoticons) for EM should now be live on Steam.

I got no idea. Call me Clueless.

I'm relativelly new on Steam and have no idea what that is either LOL!:P

I'm guessing that since I didn't buy/install it from Steam I will
not see them?

They are specifically for the Steam system. You can learn more about them here: http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/

Okay. Thanks, Vice. Not knowing was keeping me awake.

Good thing!

Too bad I'm an old nut around here and still keep the non-steam version... easier to mod too I guess.

The Ubisoft/Uplay people also have a similar routine for all of their games (TSO, Anno On-Line/Anno 2070, and etc.). Seems to work, and players can exchange/trade-in game goodies and 'earned' player points, like the trading card routine available on the Steam network. Or so it appears. They also have some pay-to-play offerings, which I keep resisting.

Ubisoft? That's news to me.

Marv, take a look, especially at the Anno On-Line site. 'Rubies' for cash. Other items for rubies/cash, cash/rubies, which is the 'trade tender' in-game. They can also be earned in game, but it takes so darned much to get them. S'why I threw in the towel on that one. Got to a point where it was 'either/or' ... I said " E-Nuff".... 'Sides, it was really too much of 'lead you around by the nose' for me. Way set in concrete.

Wow I got a pleasant surprise to find 4 trading cards in my Steam inventory after a short stint (2 hours) in EM

Those I can understand. 'Though I was surprised to discover that Silent Hunter Online wasn't Ubi's first foray into the "earn gold bars in-game" option.

I am now the proud owner of a Level 1 Evochron Mercenary STEAM badge. Only 4 more levels to go....

FYI you can complete a trading card set by selling your duplicate trading cards and purchasing the missing ones. STEAM has a really active Trade and Buy/Sell network. I completed the set with no end cost.

Crafting the badge gave me a background, emoticon and EM Badge.

Doing my small part to promote the game by proudly featuring my EM Badge on STEAM!
