In other news, Will Leverett said that anyone who has spent over $1000 will get 1st access to the PTU.
Plus, you are more likely to be a sympathetic audience.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

Kind of like saying you can buy a 50cc moped, practise in your driveway and enter the Isle Of Man TT.
I'd imagine there are limited numbers for the evcoati, most people in that group are going to be very protective of their evocati status so the chances of a newbie finding bugs that these guys are hunting for (to keep their place) is going to be rather slim.

Brace yourself, Miles ... the Evocati are comin

Not at all. As a newbie you're "competing" against people with lots of experience, that's the comparison. The evocati know how to present their reports, what CIG are looking for to replicate them etc.
I even know people that consistently submitted excellent bug reports who didn't make it into evocati, let alone CIG QA.

Also good to hear the new patcher is finally coming out... waited 2 years because how bad the last one was. Hopefully they fixed the max connections issues since i last tested the game, where the launcher would drain the entire network even when limiting the download speed.

No dear, this is a couple of friends in a gaming guild I used to be part of, they both have a few hundred in the game and remain upbeat and keen about it.
Games of this type typically take between 5 and 7 years development time (there was a famous picture in many threads here that listed typical development times). The Kickstarter campaign was in Oct/Nov 2012, now its Oct. 2017.
Personally i do not feel "pain" when considering those facts. You do ?

But you fell for the trap. When this started 5 years ago it wasnt 'typical'. Thats why you guys continue to make excuses for them. But even by your estimations theyre way behind. Because they still dont have anything resembling an MMO yet. This little roll out which I am sure is nothing more than a few additions to the people they let have things early really is just a baby step. And quite frankly they should have had it months ago.
I also see how people say that when these guys get it its generally 2 weeks before its on the Ptu. I doubt thats the case here.
Once again you have to read what they say and dont say and figure out what they really mean. The key word in that is EARLY version. Whatever that means. But at least its something. But in the 'real' world I doubt what the avocados have has changes big enough to warrant a new number (as meaningless as they are). Because they even say in the final paragraphs its a 'modest' goal right now. But theyre also clear to state how massive it is (giving them wiggle room when it doesnt get delivered on time or with half the features).
So basically this is a pre emptive announcement. But at least theyre letting the testers actually test something. SO that at least leads me to believe they have something that actually loads.
But it still highlights the fact that 'the most open development ever' still had to resort to an NDA group of people to test the game ( do that sometimes its really a project still obviously)for them.

But basically they added 3 moons and an asteroid.. 4 ships, and some missions. They also redid the launcher and patcher.
They added A LOT more than what is listed in the first 13 of 714 lines. And it is in Alpha 3.0. They just asked the Evocati to concentrate on some specific topics first. See below.
