New Evocati have been added to the tester group according to Developer Will Leverett. Their first task is testing some balance changes in 2.5 that are planned for 2.6
For anyone interested in becoming an "Avocado", the post also outlines how to become one of the Evocati.
I've gotten a few messages about this, so I thought I'd
drop a note that Evocati Test Flight invites have indeed been sent out.
Evocati - affectionately referred to as Avocados - are volunteer
players who are under NDA, and have been selected for their Issue
Council participation, both in terms of submitted reports and in
contributions to other reports.
This next round of invites is
also based on Issue Council participation. We're currently testing some
very early and iterative game balance changes that will go into 2.6.0.
For
extra context: We compile all sorts of builds 24/7 that get tested
internally by QA. We'll get to a point where a build intended for the
Live service needs additional playtesting with a larger audience... but
at this stage, it's regularly broken, busted, and quite frankly, usually
unplayable and not at all fun.
This is where Evocati come in;
they'll help with debugging unfinished or incomplete content to get it
to a point where it's ready for an even bigger audience on Public Test
Universe and ultimately the Live servers (and even then, it's still
considered Alpha stage content ).
For those interested in
Evocati, please know that I'm the one who pulls the data straight from
the Issue Council! If you are interested, you can start to contribute
to bugs on the Live service at https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/issue-council. I can't promise when the next round of invites will go out, but that's the way to start getting involved.
His work includes designing and implementing planet design using asset
placement rule sets referred to in house as biomes, demo building, media asset creation,
gameplay balancing, control schemes, presenting to media and QA
Management.
If anyone is interested SC has started their live stream for their anniversary on Twitch and YouTube Live.

Being an explorer by heart (and Bartle type) I love all the stuff that helps in space exploration. There is now a fan made astronomical encyclopedia for all Star Citizen systems. Great work! Its available as a desktop or app version.
The app in numbers: 200+hours of work, 6000+ lines of code, 1000+
pages, 122 tags/categories for celestial objects, 3000+ charts, 91 solar
systems, 2000+ images, 200+ lore entries.
@Erillion, just wondering. What's your second and third favorite MMO?

Isn't this all useless right now since the systems don't actually exist and might not for a very long time if at all
