Premium Beta Backers

[CaptainKremmen]

Does anyone know if the Premium Beta Backers that paid £100 for early access get anything extra over the mercenary pre order people or do we just get the same as them?

Thanks.

Premium Beta Backers got...

- The 100% authentic 5-system Galaxy (Eranin, I Bootis, Dahan, LP 98-132 and Asellus Primus). Spacefaring life in microcosm!
- Supercruise v0.00001 (complete with RNG interdictions from nowhere, and five-minute exit delays, lol).
- Gold! Gold! Gold, just floating in space! USS stuffed with it. Texas Stu dropping it in front of stations. Gold falling from the sky!
- No station weapons, no station security, total mayhem!
- Experience of sneaking up on other pilots with thrusters off and ice forming on the windows.
- Experience of earning an Anaconda in 5-10 days.
- Experience of filling every slot with railguns.
- Privilege of seeing people test-hacking the client, with bounties of 560,320,234 cr.
- Privilege of shooting people with bounties of 560,320,234cr and becoming ridiculously rich.
- Privilege of buying goods in the COMMODITIES market, and pressing ESC before the purchase completed, giving you the goods free!
- Privilege of being griefed by Dahan Gateway's random rotations and phase shifts... that station killed more pilots in 2014 than any number of rammers in 2015.
- Client crash every 3-90 minutes!


Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Also: regular data-wipes, putting us all back to zero and in sidewinders.

Betapocalypse though - good times

I was also at £100 - I've got the book:

The image you posted has "MY KICKSTARTER REWARDS" as a title. In my account the title is "MY DOWNLOADABLE PRODUCTS".
I'm sure Premium Beta at £100 was is not the same as kickastarter.

I was a Premium Beta at £100 but during kickstarter, so perhaps I've got additional rewards ?

you may be right....here's the bigger picture:

Poor English from FD yet again led to this confusion.

Absolutely, they really need to have their marketing/PR people take a course in clear English. It happened with the whole ambiguity over whether Wings was paid for or not. Now every time their announce something they stick up a big, neon sign with 'FREE' emblazoned on it

Whatever: it is totally irrelevant. Utterly meaningless. By the time FD get around to finishing the 30 ships, it will be a year or so since the release date. I find it hard to believe there will be many people who are eligible for the free ship who will find it useful. Most will be rich by then, some mega-rich. Unless they are going to hand out a really big ship (the equivalent of an Anaconda, say), It will be a 'so what?'. I expect that the first thing I will do is sell it ...

I suspect that whatever the free ship is it's going to be lore related or one from the original trilogy like a Mamba or Moray Starboat.
