Hey all,
In the Letter from the Chairman, Chris announced that we're removing access passes and that all backers of Star Citizen with game packages will have access to all aspects of Star Citizen going forward.
With that in mind, I wanted to issue a few clarifications to what was said there.
1) Dedicated Alpha and Beta Access is going away. If you have a game package, you get to play Star Citizen in every stage of development, including Alpha and Beta.
2) Those folks with Alpha Access on their game packages will be awarded 10,000 UEC for each game package you own.
3) Those folks who purchased a $5 Arena Commander Pass will NOT be getting 5000 UEC for that pass, but will instead have that pass automatically exchanged for $5 in store credit, that you can spend on UEC or anything else you'd prefer in Star Citizen.
4) There will be a permanent raise on the UEC cap of 10k to accommodate most of this.
5) For those of you with many game packages and/or lots of stored UEC, you may go over the cap raise to accommodate your increasing wealth, but you will not be able to purchase additional UEC until you have spent the excess and dropped below the new cap.
Thanks everyone,
Disco Lando

Am I reading this correctly that we will be getting 10000 UEC for each game package we own? So if I own 5 different packages then I will be getting 50000 UEC? Sounds like a great deal to me.

Now if they would just get around to updating the accounts. May take some time.

I would think so. Unless I am mistaken, all game packages came with Alpha access did they not??

Sorry, if you had to pay for AC access, the package you received did NOT come with alpha access.
Of my four game packages only one has Legacy Alpha status. I suppose I will eventually receive 10,000 UEC for only that one.

Two of my 5 game packages have Legacy Alpha status and I did get 20000 UEC.

Buff your LN if you can. Best guns, shields etc.
Options and more options.

The LN can actually be a VERY effective craft in the hands of the right pilot. I still have yet to be able to defeat that fatebaked guy in Arena Commander in his Aurora. He is just plain deadly with it. In all honesty, I am not sure that I have ever even landed a single shot on him. The small profile makes that ship very hard to hit even with all the guns on a Super Hornet.

I would think the LN would benefit from fast firing and long range guns.
