Ah, thanks. It's been a while since the campaign and there have been a few million updates since.

That warp video is awesome, shame my PC is so out of date...

Neon Raven has done another rather nice video:

Looking at the site it costs €60.00 for the standard Beta (the Premium Beta starts soon).
However, oddly, there seems no way to upgrade an existing order to a Beta one - if I wanted to join earlier then Gamma it seems you have to effectively buy another copy of the game. hmm.

I think if you're an existing backer then you go through and buy the beta game (make sure you're logged into the store), and at the last step it discounts the amount you've already paid so you just pay the difference.

The Eagle looks like a ton of fun...

Good idea but no luck - PayPal payment screen shots the full 60.
Not yet prepared to buy another copy, so I guess I "just" need to wait.

Have you tried emailing them?
I've no personal experience but they seem to be so on top of everything else that I guess they'll answer.

I upgraded from Beta to Premium Beta a little while ago for £15. I think I remember that I couldn't upgrade to Alpha from Beta, it was only available to me at the full price :/

Premium Beta is now available for a 'mere' hundred quid ........

Too much for my wallet I'm afraid, but us poor folks can at least enjoy this new Anaconda vid until the final, much cheaper release:

That really does look epic. I feel sorry for Star Citizen, with so much more money they will have a hell of a job beating Elite.
