Upcomming beta testing (1.1 and 1.2): Decal as cratification would be nice.

If you click the Red Elite icon to the top right of a staff post it will take you to the next staff post, repeat until you run out of staff posts. Very useful if you're only really interested in what staff have to say in a thread they've contributed to.

This icon is also available on the forum index of a topic they've responded to.

You jus' learned me somethin' new an' powerful useful. You has my thanks... an' a plus one.

I will be testing, it will be a week or so out of years of playing ED and if it helps de-bug a major update I am all for it. I don't need (or want) anything for it of any description.

Good to see another biker in the galaxy

Looking forward to testing, not fussed about a decal.

If they would like to do one , would not mind an INRA decal - I means its sort of research.

As a backer (I bought during BETA, so I dunno if that makes me a backer? lol), I say no thanks, wouldn't put it on my ship; free stuff for being a backer that other players can see is essentially just another way for backers to show off their epeens. (*popcorns*)

As someone posted on the first page, a post-it would be awesome; only not stuck to my forehead but maybe somewhere inside the cockpit? That I could role with. It's something for me to look at it, a reminder that says "yes, I did give Frontier a lot of my money for this game and yes, I'm going to make every cent count. "

And we get to choose the colour of the post-it (say 5 diff colours? )

Some like:

"CMDR P.B. Dot...
Much brave. Such love. Wow.
[ crude drawing of a spaceship ]
Frontier <3 XoXoX"

Thanks mate, so I assume that quote was buried within the 16 pages of people arguing..

@Sandman. Thanks dude, good to know I have the option to keep using my original commander. I'll reread the newsletter.

If you thought you would be forced to beta test I can see why you'd feel entitled to keep your progression I misunderstood !

1/ Get a postit note - you choose the colour
2/ write on it 'Beta Tester'
3/ draw/stick a picture of an astronaut/spaceship/your favourite faction/Elite Dangerous symbol on it - this way you are making it unique to yourself.
4/ when you play in the main game stick it on your forehead
5/ job done

Just brilliant!

I love this idea!

It could stick right beside the picture of our last screenshot we took (and/or placed in the appropriate folder on our computer)...

This.
The word "beta" and "test" should always be bound and it would alleviate confusion. Rewards for beta testing ? Sense of Entitlement is strong in some places.

It used to be an important developer function that was hired/contracted for...in other words beta testing USED to be a career choice for those that developed software. NOW they let anyone beta test and because of it, we now have the best, most bug free, fully implemented software packages in the history of the industry!

To be honest, I couldn't really give a hoot about any reward for Betatesting a patch. I want the patch that's pushed to the live-servers to be as stabile as possible, and I'll join in on the testing of said patch for free.
