Long live nostalgia.

Will there be an Atari cartridge available?

Have you seen sopwith2?

Its the same as the first until you win.
Then it levels up, so the buildings carry AA guns and everything goes a little bit faster

Okay, how does one get into the beta?

[Fyron]

One does not, as there is no beta yet. Once Malfador announces the opening of beta testing applications, you would send whatever information they ask for via email, and they decide who the want to invite into the beta testing.

I would guess that the following criteria would enter into it:
- people known personally by Aaron.
- people with a history of quality testing
- people who stand out in the community for problem solving
- people who own fringe hardware. (so as to get a healthy mix of hardware over all the testers)
- winners of the Race to SE5 tournament
- people with modding experience
- people with modeling experience
- multilingual people
- etc

Don't forget the brownnoses...

Also of interest when selecting beta testers,.. people with modding experience. Ship Modeleing experience (to test adding new user made ships to the game via modding) and speaking more than one language to help iron out (or help) with text translations.

One important factor, is having lots of time to thoroughly test the game. (again and again, and again)

nuf said, Cheers!
