It was a pre-release performance because it was a performance meant for pre-release. ;-) We have passed the stage of pre-release.

Currently, a time machine is the only way to get that blue-yellow skin.

However, the question about these skins also came up during the Q&A. Someone asked if they'd be available after words. There was a lot of umming and ahhing, followed by a "maybe" by the devs.
 
When will developers realize that pre-order exclusives just piss people off?
In stellaris they did become year one presents.

No matter what - the first thing I do if a sponsor have the blue yellow as prefered is to change the rocket. It´s ugly
 
The skins for the transports and such were for signing up on their website and then recruiting other people to the game. It was actually open until 2 days before release. We had to work for those skins and I don't want ya'll to have them, so there! :)
