I got none. Simply missed the gap between NS1 and NS2 but I think it is the right decision to let only the people who got it in the first place wear it.
One does not simply purchase black armour, one had to endure alpha and fall 2009
And for the elite assault armor i had to spend 75$ to help the developers and support the game to stay alive on a time where the future of the game was not so well. The armor was promised as an "exclusive" for all people who helped with at least 75$ or more.
Now everyone can buy it.
Where is the differnce between the elite assault and the black armor. I supported the devs 2 years ago and the pre-order-guys supported them 7 years (?) ago.
In total i spend more than the pre-order-guys in that time. 75$ against 40$( not sure about that).
In my opinion the black armor gets too much attention and everyone treats it like a holy gift that should never be touched by others who were not so clever to know the game before 2009.
Not only that, all those $75 financed in the end is Eclipse noone plays, a scraped gather system and a useless World Championship. Nice exclusive Shadow badge for $75. Thanks a lot.

The only way I can explain this is that apparently only if its the boss it counts, if its some other wannabe-UWE guy then it doesn't count.
You have to be careful who makes the promises from "UWE".
I have black armor. I strongly feel it should not be available for purchase for reasons given and understood by most. I am embarrassed that I did not become a constellation member. I wish I could buy that icon now but I understand why I can't.

BlackArmor also was $75, Deluxe at $40, I think.
If UWE said elite assault armor was "exclusive" then I think @Rammler is right to be upset.
I'm too lazy to look. Does it cost $75 now?

restricted or limited to the person, group, or area concerned.
BlackArmor was $40, Deluxe was around $35 or so.
