Great job and thank you for the Map Pack!

Do you recommend a full reinstall if the Optin 1.1 was already being used?  as Avatar137 stated above, this happened for me as well.  An update was queued (proper v1.1 release), however after downloading it steam tells me I still have the Opt-in installed.

In steam-beta options, I can NOW finally disable the Opt-in, however even though I downloaded the proper v1.1, before I launch, steam is still stating its an Opt-in.

Is this purely a steam problem?  Would the proper recommendation be to re-install without any opt-ins?

Update - after the proper v1.1 update and disabling steam optin, only after launching the game, steam removed the optin tag where I launch the game.  

The opt-in branch is identical to the mainline 1.1 so its no different

The answer is found here

And for clarification, no the only things you can currently upload to the workshop are custom factions and single ship designs with no equipment.

Honestly the lack of any support for other resources is becoming depressing.

I would think that by saying "...with Steam Workshop Support" right there in the title that it should be clear that this is just the initial, first pass of workshop support, and that they wanted to push limited features that they've got working out now, while they continue to work out integration for more intricate workshop support. 

I feel your right that the initial post didn't make it clear.

However luckily it was briefly brought up in the newest dev stream. Although if memory serves, they are at least for the moment, only looking at adding custom ship packs, map uploads and general "mod uploads". Which are things like, if you make AI changes or other major changes that you can do currently with modding.. That being said it wasn't fully clarified what if any limitations mods would have. And they don't plan to add it for a long while. I wasn't in the stream so maybe myself or someone else can ask next time for more information.

 Tbh the lack of information has kinda drained my enthusiasm in continuing doing any mod work until its out so I can know what exactly I would even be able to include. Also its unfounded, but I guess I'm vain when it comes to doing more things as well, as people are making there own work using the stuff I created. Which they have all the right to do and I am actually happy they are doing so. its just that I would have preferred it if I could have also uploaded my work that I had put so much energy into. Then everyone could use it to there hearts content but I wouldn't feel kind of cheated of my time and effort.
