Yesterday Michael Brookes posted the following about Steam-keys;

For those of you who already own Elite: Dangerous from our store and asked about getting the game in your Steam collection: we hear you and weâ€™re looking into it. We canâ€™t speak for other cases where the same question has come up, but turning EliteDangerous.com customers into Steam customers unfortunately isn't 100 percent our decision and isnâ€™t free for us in the context of the gameâ€™s ongoing growth and development. It could take a few weeks to work through, but we hear your feedback and addressing it is a priority for all of us.

So it looks like it still might be an maybe, nothing more. I find it odd that Frontier are only just looking into the matter now, after launching on Steam on the 2nd of April. Surely they should of expected backers to ask?

There also mention of a mission overhaul in v1.3 (the Powerplay update);

Looking further ahead we have the Powerplay update, the big announcement is still a couple of weeks away but I can reveal a bit more of what will form part of the wider update and that is a major overhaul for the missions system. This isnâ€™t directly part of the new Powerplay feature, but does supplement it. Weâ€™ve been working on this since the gameâ€™s initial release to provide us with a mission system that will support the game as we keep adding new features and content and improve your experience with all missions.

Its about time something was done to the missions. They quickly become unworthwhile - getting a mission worth just 5,000 credits in a ship worth 100mil+ isnt worth the effort.
