The people who were active, bug-report and so on, were invited to the very first wave of the PTU, not the subscribers.
Much drama?
So Star Citizen only has 5000 people out of 1,300,000 people that actively play, is that what you're saying?
No no no! E
But seriously, you guys need to stop automatically dismiss everything Derek Smart says because of who said it. Yes, his games are bad. Yes he is very opinionated, he never worked in a great team where he could learn from his colleagues. But some (not all!) of his observations are valid.
Dismissing everything cuz "lol DS" is worse than anything he put out.
Except maybe for 2.4, which does not look like the substantial update SC needs.
Also the fans need to shut up talking about persistance as if it's the lord and saviour. It's a basic functionality, with SC only having a basic implementation thereof at last.
The PTU is a temporary testing release environment, and look at it, it's exactly that! :|

1 Million, 300,000 people that actively play? Oh you just shot your foot with that remark.
It's impossible to count this, but with all certain, there isn't 5000 people active bug-reporting on the Issue Council or even provide feedback when we're talking about the PTU releases. The big majority, wants just to play something as early as possible.

Seriously, the PTU is that temporary testing environment, It's like a RC, release candidate build, being tested upon to be released on the main branch, that branch would be the Alpha.
Classic citizenese! The PTU - Public Test Universe (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/faq/faq-ptu) is called Public but it isn't really public until the last stage.
I believe the classic non citizen response is - it's so public it's actually private.
I think your interpretation of the english language just headshotted you there mate
You like or not, the PTU is not the Alpha Access.
You are arguing about the name, yet the FAQ describes the process to access it. Oh Dear
But it's not ingenuous when CIG advertises that number right?
Now don't let me keep you from the argument that alpha alpha isn't alpha but alpha is.
rLook, I'm bored with this (it goes nowhere), I had already said that I don't like it but other thing that I don't like is people mixing things(as well as the others who try to attack the person and not the argument), there is already enough things to criticise without transforming every debate in a mud fight mixing things, spreading stuff that is not true and that type of stuff.
As it's quoted: "This environment will be publicly available to players, but under our tight access control."
I think that's where Public comes from, not public as "all can get in".
And they can, they 1.3 Million Citizens, being all you need to be one Citizen, one Account.
On the 2nd, let me quote: "The PTU is a replica environment of all servers needed to operate the game and the platform. This environment exists to allow public testing phases of unreleased patches of the game and platform."
"Unreleased Patches" << Alpha Access was access to the Alpha Release, the PTU is testing of something un-released, then it's not one Alpha Release is it?
