Not at all. The betas for GalCiv were open to all paying customers, and all Drengin.net customers have access to prereleases on the updates.
Many of the major features (Starbases, and thus Terror Stars, for one example) were suggested in this forum during the original beta test, as a matter of fact.

Last installment for this thread. I know most of this information is already obvious to anyone who's already downloaded the X-Pack, but here goes:
***Things of interest***
1) The DeathKnight has evolved from an 'Evil' only ship to merely a more expensive BB substitute. It would appear that Stardock ran out of time and could not implement an Alignment flag for ships. Too bad, that would have been great.
2) The changes to Starbase.ship were to raise the maintenance of SBs to 10 and adding a maintenance of 1 to Constructors.
3) The change to XTechs.tech was to change the ability bonus for Disruptors from Soldiering to Weapons. This cleans up the confusion between the description text and what the tech actually does.
I'll be posting a new version of the Writer that fully supports the X-Pack. Looks for it at: Link
