"Premium" Beta and Lifetime Updates query

Hey all,

I've noticed in the recent communications that they keep mentioning the "Premium Beta" alongside "Lifetime Expansion packs". However, my package - the £90 level - does not include Premium Beta, just beta, yet it DOES show "any expansions". This is why I chose this level, it was a little over my budget, but the attraction of "any expansions" (£80 or more level) added to the "Collectors Premium Boxed Edition" swayed me.

From what I can see, all the £100 pledge level adds over the £90 pledge level I chose is the Premium beta, rather than just the Beta - no mention of Expansions/DLC as that's given already at a lower pledge level.

As each pledge level states "This includes all the rewards above" I'd like some clarification please.

Note: I am looking forward to the normal Beta, needless to say :)

Have you tried buying the Premium Beta to see whether it discounts it by £90?
I read a thread about something similar.

Nope, should I?

I know there were issues early on where pledge levels were a bit screwed up, but that was fixed ages ago.

I don't really log on much at all - hardly ever unfortunately - so I've not checked my account in some time...maybe I should...

Still, it was certain £90 taken from me at the time, and, checking on KickStarter, that level is correct for all expansions.

Edit: Ok, just checked my account, and listed under my rewards is:

Digital Download Pack. This includes a single digital download of the game, any expansions and 500 credits when starting a new game.

As well as, above that:

DRM-free collector's premium boxed edition of "Elite: Dangerous". Includes a T shirt with "I backed Elite: Dangerous" on the back, an A3 Star Map and a paperback copy of the official sequel to "The Dark Wheel".

Which is the extra added by the £90 level in effect.

In the kickstarter, and the former store, a commitment to £ 100 included all the rewards of lower ranks. In the new store, £ 100 gives you the premium beta, beta standard, the retail version and extensions. And that's all. If you upgrade, normally, you only pay £ 10 and you keep all your awards of kickstarter, of course

You're a backer of Kickstarter. You keep all of your rewards (box collection, expansions etc ...). No problem

Cool, thanks, I was a little confused.

I could possibly upgrade to Premium Beta now if I only pay the difference, so £10. However, knowing my luck, doing that will then eliminate any free-time I might have to pla...erm, aid Beta testing :)
