I feel that
the Dogfighting module, especially with Star Citizen's greatly increased profile, needs to be more polished than a typical «alpha».

Star Citizen's
dogfighting module was released to backers yesterday.
Star Citizen backers were hoping to get into some space tussles near the end of the month, playing around with the alpha's
dogfighting module...
Provide us with a testing system now in the form of Test UECs or temporary test items rather than wait for it to be implemented in
the dogfighting module.
We had originally planned this for
the dogfighting module (as it is useful for people to try different load outs in balancing) but we can move up the schedule if enough people think it's important.
But we appreciate everyone's eagerness to help out, so I'm investigating the difficulty of implementing «TEST UEC» now rather than waiting for
the dogfighting module — the idea would be that everyone would get a certain amount of TEST UEC at different periods and could use the credits to buy items that would exist for a day in your hangar to check them out, try them on your various ships, walls and so on.
We intend for players to be earning UEC in a limited fashion as early as
the dogfighting module (say for fighting so many test battles, or winning a team battle competition) and felt Voyager Direct would be the first step in getting the basic systems in place.
