Who are the Bug Hunters (BH) and what is Equipment Certification and Anomaly Investigations Division (ECAID)?
ECAID is the fictional name for the volunteer Bug Hunter team which aids CCP's Quality Assurance (QA) team in regression tests and new builds for the EVE test server. Our primary role is to verify and filter the bug reports submitted by players. Once verified a report is assigned to a defect and picked up by QA who carry out further testing if necessary and assign the defect to the appropriate development team.
I want to help, how can I do this?
You can help in two ways, one you can submit logical bug reports. For information on submitting a good report please go to our public website http://www.eve-bh.net/howtobr.php
Two, you can become a Bug Hunter by applying to ISD: http://myeve.eve-online.com/isd.asp
You will be given training however we only accept experienced players who are very knowledgeable about the game mechanics and features. If you have been playing for some time, have a strong technical background and like to hang out on the test server then we are most likely interested in you.
We are also looking for people who are able to do translation work in Russian as a primarily role and bug hunt as a secondary position, if you fit this role please apply to the Translation Team (TT) using the above ISD link.

Do I get bonus points for noticing the "Starship Troopers" reference in the thread title - or is it something that I would know about if I spent more time in GD ?
The only good bug, is a dead bug.
As for rewards for good bug reporting, the fact that you are helping improve EVE should be reward enough. It is also excellent experience for those who are considering a job in the games industry. One thing I should also note is that if you apply and get accepted into the Bug Hunter team you are not allowed to tell anyone else that you are apart of the team. You will sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA's) which are legally binding contracts, we are very selective so if you get accepted you should be proud. Out of 500 applicants we would generally only find 30-40 worthy to join.

The position is one that you could apply to your resume, you must be 18 for a number of reasons but the prime one is to sign the NDA/TOS agreements.

Resumes are not required and please note that this is a volunteer position so it not paid. The current recruitment drive will not hold up recruitment fur the current applicants although please note that we may be a tiny bit slower in replying due to the sheer volume of applicants.

People, you are being used. Bug hunting is not a game it is work. Don't work for free. Your time should cost money. 
I am sorry you feel that way PeHD0M but I respectively disagree with you, myself and the rest of the Bug Hunter team LOVE what we do and the comradeship and experiences that we have are well with any time that we volunteer to our tasks!
