bad KFDM.
there is no set process to become a playtester. Always be competant and not an ****. Make very good posts and have conversations in irc along the lines we would generally like to see, and maybe one day you too will be considered. This means no "omg this is overpowered!" posts. but if you do, give good, comprehensive posts as to why you think so. Not quick reasons with no supporting evidence. Honestly, just think of the things you think we would think for and do it. This however doesnt gurantee anything. those are the kinds of people we look at though.
I'm a contributer for creating the map ns_altair which gives me playtester status so all the good playtesters have an easy target for testing hitbox reg.

Wow people's imaginations go wild when they don't tell you what something is. But I take it that the forum admin who said migration to the 'BUS' system is not mandatory is an actual member of the UWE team. So they're saying whatever it is, you don't have to use it; so it's not something that alters the game at a fundamental level, nor is it something that everyone will like.
So if it's neither of these things, IMHO I aint to excited about it...
With one exception: if it has to do with teaching people how to friggin play NS, I'm all for it. Some sort of Beginner's Mode or whatever, b/c it was obvious that combat mode did nothing to really train people for ns mode. & I don't blame them, but it's gotta be pretty disappointing that everyone flocks to the kill-everything mode, while the main cool idea they had is left in the dust w/ only the hardcore NS lovers (and people who love innovative ideas like myself).

All marines respawn with big underwear, which acts as both
A: A storage unit for methane fuel, allowing all marines a 3 second jetpack boost

In order to balance this, gorges can now Wedgie the marines, and lerks can steal the gas from rine underwear for res.
