With all the belly aching over the way the game runs right now, many probably don't realize EXACTLY what is coming down the pipe in the very near future.
Many of the thing people have beenn complaining about are already fixed, and the patches are in beta, ready for testing.
BUT WHERE ARE THE TESTERS????
Will this patch be implemented without YOUR IMPUT?? It's like voting; if you don't bother to do it, don't bitch about the end result.
So, for all those who said that you wanted changes in the game, I am challenging you all to get your butts into the beta server today and run the patches. The dev team and Faustus need OUR input to better give us a product we want to play and enjoy.
Forget about the MV for a day. Just play beta for a whole day, and let's test this patch and see what we get from it.
I can say that having played beta just for a bit, I've realized that this game is really about to change in some VERY dramatic ways.
So, for the whole day, I challenge all Dark Spacers to help in the beta server and test the patch.

If you don't have rank over in beta ask in the forum in beta. Theres a special post just to have your rank ported over.
I to have played a lot of beta, Lag is nearly 0. game play is very different and it looks great.
GET OVER THERE WHINERES!

on the bottom right of the darkspace website, there is a network select box. click on DarkSpace Beta, and it will load the darkspace beta website, where you can click download (on the left like it is now) to download the darkspace beta client which is about 37.2 meg I think.

Heck, I'd love to beta test the 1.483 patch but.. I gotta problem with that. *points over to 'Midshipman'.. I'm unsubbed and I can't sub again right now. Blame my mom for that.. Oh well. But, at least I still log on to keep my account for that ONE day I will sub again and play DS once more.

Anyone who has posted in the Beta Rank Requests thread on the beta side now has rank; sorry for the delay in doing so. If you'd like some rank as well and haven't been given any yet, post over there. I'll check again tomorrow and monday (after that I'm on vacation for a bit).

I thought red servers didn't matter with that. Can you not join the server - did you test it? - or are you just saying that from history?

I know that.. I do have some prestige when I asked about it some time ago. Ever since I got unsubbed, I'm ALL the way back to Midshipman. Just check on the BETA side for my profile there. Then you'll see. I haven't had time to resub and my mom is being too 'cheap' on me right now... oh well. I'll sub again one day and play again.

He already is a Vice Admiral on beta.
You don't need a subscription to play on beta, so it doesn't matter if you're subscribed here or there or anywhere.
And the lack of a visible rank doesn't mean anything if your account still shows stats. Just login on beta and join a game and your rank will return, as it does on the release side.
[Edit] - Just had a thought. I think you can join servers without being RELEASE over there, but maybe it locks you in at Midshipman? I don't know for certain, as I'm not sure on the rules for that sort of thing anymore, plus my account is an Admin on beta, and Admins can take out all ships regardless of rank - so its impossible for me to test.
If that's the problem, let me know, and I'll see if I can either change the rules, or flip release flags too.
