Get Informed with the Roadmap Update & Monthly Report

There was a Sneak Peek of the Redeemer this week… it’s planned for the 3.15 Patch, hopefully we will see more on the ship’s development over the next few weeks.

The Star Citizen Roadmap update this week was meaty with new features like Persistent Hangars and Habs, the upcoming Starmap Rework,detect/finding POI , Underwater Rendering and more. I am extremely excited for exploration mechanics that are possible from these feature focuses.

We had the Star Citizen & Squadron 42 Monthly Reports

There were lots of Behavior Updates for AI.

But they showed a teaser of Crusader and talked about Colonial Outposts, hospitals for all the various Major Landing Zones, they are working on creatures, an unannounced ship, the reputation system, scanning and server meshing.

Star Citizen Live: All About Alpha 3.13

Ship Names are smaller than you’d expect on the side of a ship as they need to make room for upto 32 characters… and it doesn’t scale. Long term they will be larger.

The ROC DS will be sold and have a FAQ in the future.

The vehicle is supposed to be a multi-crew version of the ROC with a more powerful laser and a huge amount more cargo space.

Cargo gameplay is getting some updates & Missions that will make use of the Hercules and other cargo ships.

The addition of trolleys and push / pull in 3.13 is to get the feature tested, it will be utilized in lots of systems in the future.

They are looking at ways to not punish players for 30k’s and bugs when it comes to ship, component and cargo loss.

3.13 might see an increased frame rate for some users as more CPU cores are utilized better.

They will be iterating on Cave Gameplay based on feedback from 3.13.

They are looking to potentially add caves to asteroids.

There is going to be an economy overhaul and where commodities good are and how much of them there are is going to see some redistribution.

We will be able to match speed with target again.

Players can spawn a maximum of 3 ships before the first ship/vehicle despawns.

Reputation is going to really affect how we play the game.
