    Beta participants deserve a commander separate from the Gamma buyers... If you're gonna give the delta to Alpha but not Beta, it would be nice if you would give something to Beta not Gamma, and Theta can be Gamma not Release.

    I realize these are just aesthetic but I like having my mark made as one of the original supporters of the game.

    Or you could just give Delta to Beta too. That'd be fine. But they won't do that, so.....


    And it's not just me, I've talked to other beta participants that feel kinda let down too.

    Are you a beta kickstarter supporter or did you just buy early access during the beta period?

    Then you get the Theta commander, because the beta early access people got the Theta

    then Gamma shouldn't have Theta.

    I'm not complaining that I dont have something they already promised us, I'm insinuating that they provide another

    Gamma was just another update, the game was still in Beta. People who bought the game at kickstarter got the Progenitor, Alpha, and the Delta commander while people in Early Access which includes the versions Beta and gamma, got the Theta. If you bought the steam version, you get the theta

    ok this is what I'm looking at.

    Kickstarter → Alpha → Beta → Gamma → Release

    Kickstarter and Alpha have the three mentioned above.
    Beta should get its own (but only gets theta)
    Gamma gets theta.

    I wouldn't put it like that. I'm not bitching, I'm insinuating*.

    My point is I want something to distinguish us from Gamma peeps.

    Gamma players are BETA Players. There is no difference and there never was. It was just a newly named update.

    Sorry, I thought you were using them as the mathematical symbols for 'greater than'.

    I guess I dont follow your logic. If you wanted to break it down,
    But, Gamma was just another phase in the Beta. You should only get the Theta Commander. You don't deserve another type special commander just because you were in the Beta. Uber has clearly defined this, deal with. Oh and people with the retail edition get their own as well. But they don't get the Theta.

    There wasn't that much of a difference between when they said "alpha's over here's beta"

    Alpha and Beta are actual stages of development. Gamma was just a fancy name for a new patch.
