I'd like to rub it in peoples faces that I was in the closed beta when this game goes live. Any chance on a special vanity item for beta'ers? Fancy helmet or something?

Something to say, "Yea, I was here."

Figured I'd use the wording "rub in people's faces" instead of "show that I was part of the development process", since that'd be what it was mainly used for :v

EDIT: As I think about this more and more, I realise some people might not want special markings. Maybe add an option "Beta Vanity" [On/Off] to the options menu. If a non-beta tries to toggle it, give an error message.

EDIT #2:

Alright, I feel that this needs a bit of a clarification.

This thread is not asking for a unique weapon, dropsuit, equipment item, consumable, or any time of usable item in-game. There is no request for a "Beta Only" gun or armor, no request for any item in any way, shape, or form. If it goes into a suit / vehicle fitting, then you're doing it wrong.

I'm asking for one or two extra markings on the armor we wear with NO MODIFICATIONS AT ALL. Example:

I throw on a Militia Assault Suit. Because I was in the Closed Beta Testing, I have the option to turn on an extra feature, let's say it's a picture of bear claw marks on my face. This has NO EFFECT on ANYTHING I do. I still get rapetrained by some guy in full proto.

Let's put it another way - I'm asking for a magnetic bumper sticker for my car. It doesn't make my car go faster, save gas, give it more horsepower, or anything. It just looks pretty. I can rip it off if I want to and put it back on later if I so choose.

There was also the suggestion of a medal in our profile. That would be just fine too.

I'd be happy with the symbol of the Jove Empire on our suits/tanks.

Afterall, we'd be (afaik) the only players in the whole EVE universe (aside from possibly devs) with that logo on our assets then Special enough ?

How about an avatar that occasionally bugs out and flies off into the sky.

I don't like the idea of a modified avatar while fighting, simply because when you're in a gun fight, you're not looking to see what the other person looks like. You're just trying to drop them before they drop you.

I wouldn't turn down some sort of acknowledgement on my Character Sheet though. I really like the idea of a medal

A SOLID GOLD DROPSUIT OR CHROME SOMETHING THAT SAYS "I WAS THERE" sure you would look like a massive target but people would think twice before shooting you
