Offer the Lite subscription on the website and PC client
I've been enjoying this game very casually for years now. I did not know until a few months ago that there was a Lite subscription model for all devices, because the info about it is hard to find and the subscription itself is only available within the mobile client. I would have been using this and playing on more devices if I had known. Why is it so hidden and hard to access? What about people who want to play on PC but don't have or don't want to use a mobile device they can run the game on?
As a VR enthusiast I particularly see a lot of Rift and now Go users who are very interested in playing this game but turned off by the 9.99 subscription model. I think the Lite subscription is a perfect solution and when I mention it, it often changes people's minds and they become much more willing to give it a chance. I suggest making this subscription model much more obvious to players and more accessible by giving us the option to subscribe on the website or on the PC client.
From skimming the forums a bit it appears Vendetta is also working towards a free to play subscription model for a Steam release? Sounds awesome, can't come soon enough IMO. More people need to know about this awesome game!

+1
Or, even better, the pc client has a store. But I think Incarnate said something about there not being any existing api for that [outside of steam/similar servicers] and being waaaay too complex to implement [sadly]. However, perhaps a link from the game to the website where they can purchase such items? And yes, +1 to not requiring mobile to buy "extended trial time".
That being said, Jason, that only unlocks PC access, not liscences or gem removal. Any GO player that wants to play strictly on their VR wouldn't get any use out of the lite sub. Maybe you allready know that, though, in which case go ahead and ignore this section of my post. [Or if the oculus Go version of the game requires premium time on their account, which would be a little confusing since its based on GearVR iirc]
Also also, people seem turned off by the word "subscription", so i've taken to calling it "Premium time". Seems to generate more reasonable responses from new pilots, at least as far as I can tell.
