As the title says, can we hope for for VIVE HTC/SteamVR integration since the game is now available on Steam? Does this means frontier will get one of the free Vive Dev kit? What about steam controller and the dual control input of the vive?

I'm pretty sure Frontier will be getting a Vive dev kit :p

As for when we'll see it on Vive, still talking the best part of a year imo.

I had an idea for lightbeam that might work well with E: D especially during long gaming sessions. If you had a real world object like a mug of tea* you could put it in a lightbeam tracked mug holder and then using voiceattack you could ask your computer for a drink and it would materialise inside your cockpit and let you reach for it without having to take your headset off.

Eventually, I would like to buy an htc vive and use it to play Elite Dangerous once FD support the hardware. Since this will require the steam api, does this mean I will need to buy the steam version of Elite Dangerous? Does anyone know?

I'd rebuy the Steam version if Frontier threw in a few paint jobs or something as a nod to those who bought the game pre-Steam.

No, no no need to buy it again. I saw several games which were not available in Steam and which become available later and in that case the publisher provide Steam key to early users and you just have to register the existing installed game in Steam using it. At least this is like other publishers did.
