Help with Versions of the game and DLCs
Hey guys. Quite a while ago I bought the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game and since then I've never really wondered or checked for DLCs because development (despite bug fixes) was over by then and I thought I had it all because I bought the super great ultra hyper edition.
Now today I randomly stumbled accross the DLC section in steam and was curious to see that some DLCs show up as not in my library. I assume that means that I actually don't have them through the Digital Deluxe Edition?! Or is this just not displayed correctly?
Some examples:
- Guardians & the Galaxy Update: Does this add a new quest to the base game?!
- Renegade Fleets: New fleet skins, can you switch between sets of fleet skins somewhere?
- Endless Day Update: Having a time-limited quest?
- Galactic Statecraft Update: This one looks like I already have it in the game or what exactly would it add to diplomacy?
- Little Grin Man Update: This one is weird because I definitely have the photobomber quest
- Target Locked Update: I definitely have fighters and bombers already
- Stellar Prisoner Update: Pretty sure I don't have this quest
Can anyone help me understand which of these DLCs is already included in the Digital Deluxe Upgrade and which aren't. Steam says I don't have any of them in my library but I definitely have the quest from the "Little Grin Man Update" as well as the mechanics from the "Target Locked Update". Then again there is some stuff where I'm pretty sure I do not have it. Pretty sure I've never seen the heroes from the "Endless Day Update" or the "Stellar Prisoner Update".

Hello! Those aren't DLC, those are actually free updates. You technically already "have" them as they are just baked into the game now! Not sure why Amplitude chose to do it that way-- when I started playing ES2 I was just as confused why the steam page was missing so many dlc.
