Sorry for noob question


Ah, don't feel bad - questions need answers, so here ya go.

PTU is the Public Test Universe - Alpha 2.0 is up there now, and they are adding players to the list a bit at at time (based on your citizen ID#) so the folks who came in early and supported the development a few years ago are getting first look/try. But eventually, they will be rolling the Alpha 2.0 code over to the main player server.

So if you have a Citizen ID, it is just a wait for the email or until they release it to the normal server (shouldn't be long). If you don't have a Citizen ID yet and are thinking about playing; you can sign up for free ($0) and play around in 1.3 build with 3 ships until December 14th. If ya follow my referral link - it will start you with some extra UEC (in-game earned currency).
