One of the Dj's for Subspace radio is in my fleet we talk on vent a lot, he has always been known for his intimate dev knowledge because he hangs w them and helps test features, he has been proven time and again toi be 100% accurate when he reveals early info, and the assimilated ships have been alpha tested by teh devs and hand picked people a for a few weeks now, things go to tribble when its time for a mass test, but the team is always testing with select trusted players, future un revieled stuff. He recently helped them alpha test the Bridge officer to Xo to player Alt system on their private test server.
FYI and side note- technically he is violating a NDA by telling me this but he said they don't really care if he talks a little bit aaabout things they are planning/testing etc as long as its accurate information. I personally trust his word because he accuratley explained the several features months ahead such as the way Excelsior would work, the diplomatic ranks system, things that were in season 2 ,way back around time of season 1.2. No posts had been made anywhere that he could haave gained this knowledge from, he also proved his connections to cryptic by having a dev come right into the vent and talk to people when he wanted a dev to, stormshade, for example, he said ok im gonna get stormshade to say hi in this zone. suddenly stormshades GM account in purple uncloaked in zone chat and people were excited. He also got 3 people banned from STO that messed w me and another fleetie by clicking report spam and unlawfully getting us silenced 24 hrs,abusing that system. He was like "i'll get them banned" and bam the next day we confirmed they were banned, and i mean permenently banned not temporarily. The first of the 3 people came from STO radio and was griefing any SSR dj's and their fleet m,embers just ebcause they and me were advertising their competition in zone chat.
