Stardock has announced that Star Control: Origins, its upcoming reboot of the classic sci-fi strategy series, will soon be ready to enter a "public beta program." That means that the Founder's Program that launched last year will be brought to an end in a couple of weeks. 

The Founder's Programs is available in two separate editions: The standard $35 package will get you the game, mod tools, "access to our internal vault of stuff," and one year of post-release content, or for $100 you can go for the "Lifetime Edition," which will get you all of the above plus the soundtrack and, as the name suggests, unlimited access to everything released for the game.
