Before any update to Star Citizen hits the Live servers, it undergoes a rigorous set of testing phases on the Public Test Universe, or PTU for short. The most egregious of bugs and issues are smashed throughout these phases, thanks to your efforts. We've said it before, and we'll continue to shout it from the mountaintops of microTech: each and every one of you jumping in to test have sincerely made a meaningful impact on the development of Star Citizen, and we could not be more appreciative. Our shared universe exists only because of you and your contributions.
So, let's celebrate!
While we have a robust incentivization program planned down the road, in the short term, we wanted to draw a special spotlight on some of our top testing contributors, with rewards to boot! We plan to continue this new initiative for future patches, with new categories each cycle.
Whether you put in the most time, the best reports, or salvaged every wreck in sight, the players listed below rose to the top during the 3.18.0 Open PTU cycle and are absolute champions! Please join us in congratulating those going the extra mile to bring the 'verse to life. THANK YOU!
