    Constellation is essentially a 'club' for people who've donated to NS1. You can see this mentioned on their forum avatars, and in-game.

    AFAIK, Constellation only applied to NS1. NS2, being a paid-for product, doesn't need a donation system. The pre-order bonus is the next best thing.

    Can't see why anyone would want the constellation in particular. It's a symbol that you've supported the development of NS and that's it. There's no advantage of having it and the only thingy you get from it is the warm'n'fuzzy feeling that you've done something for NS.

    What's the point? If you want something special, you'll have your black armour.

    Constellation was a NS1 program. We highly doubt it will be making an appearance in NS2, sorry.

    There is no point to having it for NS2.
    We consties will be relics of NS1 history.

    Constellation was basically the subtle "thanks" for donating to NS1. Would sorta be silly to make it for buying of the special edition.
    Since instead of donating to a free mod (as NS1 was!) you're paying for a retail product effectively and it already has special features to it!

    Support independent devs early and often and no need to worry about this =)

    Wanting Constellation for preordering the NS2 special is sorta like saying that it isn't enough that is already there and you want more. ;)

    Only thing I want (as someone in another thread said also) is a gorge plushie.

    Or a concrete Gorge like one of those concrete geese. That I could dress up.

    If you really, really want to become part of Constellation, all you have to do is donate using this page:
    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/constellation/" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/constellation/</a>
    It his however, broken at the moment. I'll make a post in the Website Feedback forum/

    I thought it was no longer possible to donate / they closed the constellation program down?

    It is possible but like it has been said, it looks like that webpage broke. I'll pass it on, thanks for the heads up.

    The crap part is when you remember donating to NS1 back in the day, but no record of it.

    Does your Constellation icon appear beside your name while playing NS? If so then you'll probably need to add the steam ID to your profile page for it to show up in the forums.

    And for that he'd need a UWE constellation account, judging by his forum profile I'm going to guess if it were that easy he wouldn't have posted what he did.

    The issue being that it was many years ago, and I changed all my accounts including steam a couple years back.

    It's really not the end of the world, I know I supported NS1, and that's fine by me. Plus I bought Special Edition, so there's some extra support.

    It's too bad we don't have the veteran status anymore too. We used to have a yellow skulk in game. Also I remember Charlie had a different colour icon when he played.

    Veteran status before the vet program?

    i only remember the medals for vets, a skulk for playtesters, and jetpack as special icons.

    Because SE is basically the same thing. Consties get the icon, NS2 SE gets the black armor.

    Huh, I considered the vet icon to be a mark of shame.

    Or more often than not, a big flashing sign that said 'prepare to ban me! I'm retarded!'. Then he'd start calling his commander a *** noob and run off to spawncamp the hive.

    And then they made these people <i>playtesters</i>. No wonder NS 3.0 was so horrible.

    And the way you generalize everything (in the threads i've read) is equally stupid.

    Besides, a lot of these "vets" were not really veterans, as all you had to do was to join a clan to get that icon, so of course you had some retards who show up.

    No idea on which servers you played on but i didn't see a lot of these people until 3.0~

    but he has got a point there .. I redownloaded NS after not playing for 3 years or something and many of the "leet" vet players where all like

    eject that noob commander .. u noob .. qq

    terrible and rude

    of course I wasn t up to par to their skill level, but it really doesn t encourage to play to get better when most of the good players are more or less abusive ######s

    unfortunately it seems NS and its high skill ceiling kinda attracts these jerks

    Bump! Any chance this has been looked at yet? I've pre-ordered the Special Edition, but is there more I can do to help out? I'm sure others wouldn't mind donating to constellation who haven't already.
