RSI has just posted on the Star Citizen site that the 1.1.5 Alpha is now available on the Public Test Universe (PTU).
Star Citizen 1.1.5 is now available on the Public Test Universe! The PTU is our ‘test’ server, designed for letting the Star Citizen community review earlier builds of the game than our standard live server. If you’re interested in joining the PTU test for 1.1.5, you can learn how in the PTU FAQ. Patch 1.1.5 adds two flyable ships, the Scythe and the Merlin, as well as a host of balance changes and bug fixes.
You can find out more at the Star Citizen site.

This will be interesting no matter how it goes.
If it is awesome then the "White Knights" will be most triumphant.
If it isn't then the "Black Knights" will begin a reign of terror!
Either way... the Interwebz will be locked up like the mother of all DDos attack.
My advice - order the Ultimate Mega Bucket of popcorn.
Save the interwebs! You can do that by right clicking on you browser and where it says "Save Page As" click "Everything - "Entire Interwebz"

Yep, now we're suddenly starting to see some progress. Hmm, I wonder why? It couldn't have been because of that *insert bad four letter words here* DSmart, could it?
/smh
I must admit that I find it very coincidental that within a week of Mr. Smart's allegations, we now have the FPS module in 3-5 weeks (instead of the projected 10 months) and a brand new PTU build. Let's hope that at least some resolution is brought to the whole issue.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Short term excitement.
Rushing anything for the sake of the vocal will lead to a lesser of anything made.
This would only be the case if they were 100% ready to release whatever it is they they have and, for some reason, delayed it. Which would call for people calling them out, and that's not something you want (even if a person would have done it anyway due to promoting their own selves or because there is so much money in play).
Who is to say what is the truth in this case.
That's kind of a worry really. That may not be true - but that is how it looks.
Expect a Press Release from CIG/RSI saying "Our decision to release had nothing to do with Derek Smart... it was always planned and scheduled... part of the ongoing process..."
But it will always look like a 'loud voice' achieved this - that is no doubt how it will be remembered too.
Unfortunately that will also put pressure on other developers from now on. Particularly crowdfunded ones.
Then again, crowdfunding has been a bad idea for a while. The sooner the trend toward crowdfunding games dies the better IMHO.

I'm sorry, but at this point nothing that RSI puts out could even remotely be considered "rushing" unless you've been living near the accretion disk of a black hole for the past few years.

Coincidental indeed!
This game will be be a mess and in Alpha/Beta for years while ship sales continue ad nauseaum.

You know what results in broken promises, rushed products, half assed attempts, etc? Impatience. It happens in the publishing world all of the time... you just don't see it Publicly in this manner, this is the result of the public being your investor... "Hey we need to delay..th"... "What, What What?!?!?!? It's a scam, call the LAW!!!!", the answer: "well okay here's the shitola sandwich you demanded..." Just as it would be served under the control of a shovelware publisher..

People will claim they were reacting to Smart regardless of when they released. There will be a sub-set of people who will dementedly credit Smart with everything that happens in Star Citizen for the rest of forever. That was almost certainly one of Smart's goals in creating this circus.
Smart will now be associated with Star Citizen by force of Troll. If Star Citizen ultimately fails, Smart will proclaim to the masses that he was right and that everyone should immediately buy whatever piece of garbage he has been cobbling together. If Star Citizen ultimately succeeds, Smart will claim that it is because of his influence alone that the project didn't fail and everyone should immediately buy whatever piece of garbage he has been cobbling together.
The Internet as a whole can be embarrassingly stupid.

Says who?

And so what? We're getting our accountability and that's all that matters. This has never been about Derek Smart for those of us who shared the same concerns he voiced and were able to separate the messenger from the message. The objective has always been about accountability. You Derek Smart haters made it about Derek Smart so why should he not get the credit when you made it all about him? If you haters had never made this all about Derek Smart, it would have never been all about Derek Smart, and he would not be getting any credit. But since you made it about him, now he will be vindicated and rightly so. I bet that egg all over your faces doesn't feel very good right about now *laughs*
I agree that /wins the interwebz!
Didn't your last post say this? "Yep, now we're suddenly starting to see some progress. Hmm, I wonder why? It couldn't have been because of that *insert bad four letter words here* DSmart, could it?"
You can't have it both ways.... Secondly you folks who couldn't understand why other folks were talking about Derek Smart are the only ones who could not separate one from the other. Because over and over you acted as though it couldn't be done...
One track minds think that way... People talk about Star Citizen in a manner that is pertinent to it, people talk about Derek Smart in a manner that is Pertinent to him.. They are two different things...Talking about Smart isn't saying nothing is going on.

Yes it did. Was the sarcasm lost on you?
Considering you're other posts praising DS over and over quite weirdly, why would I assume you're being sarcastic now?

You didn't quote any of the other posts, you quoted this one. And this one was clearly expressing sarcasm.
BTW, have you heard that suddenly things are starting to progress over at CIG with Star Citizen? What a revelation, huh! Must be have been a miracle ... or is it magic? *laughs*
TBH the only thing that comes off in your posts is hostility, no matter what you're saying which kind of drowns out anything else you're portraying...That's just me though, and sure, I see they're caving and rushing to keep public perception up, the question is whether that's a sound move... What's the point in getting what you want if it isn't given the proper time it needs?

Is the only thing you can resort to when you don't like the response from another poster is coming off as some time of victim? Can you not respond to a post without alluding to some type of personal "hostile" victimization? There is nothing hostile about my posts. If my posts hurt you so much, don't respond to them? That's shouldn't be too hard to do, could it? Please develop thicker skin or avoid responding to my posts. This labeling others as being hostile when it is nothing more than having a debate gets old really quick. They are the type of keywords that many posters in this forum resort to in order to try to get another poster banned. If you want to debate, then let's debate but please lose the weak BS talk. It gets irritating.
Seeing you as hostile has nothing to do with being hurt... Being hostile isn't something I view as an attack nor bannable either, hostility is just heightened emotion. Which hey you just might be passionate.

Can you do me a favor and just respond to my posts without making it personal? Just respond to the message in my post. That is all I ask.
I wasn't trying to do that by simply saying why i missed the sarcasm, which was the point of your post
