Alpha 3.0

1. If there is one thing that is for certain then it´s the next change of the flight model. The FM in general has been changed a lot and it will be balanced again. It´s like a pendulum until it finds a state where everyone is happy with.

The current focus is only on stability, performance and bug fixing. A pre test of an alpha version

2. Especially in "atmosphere" (as far as you can speak of atmosphere on a moon) all the ships are behaving quiet similar atm. But they already said that this will change depending on the ship you fly AND depending on the planet. A Herald (info runner, no "wings") should drop like a stone without thrusters whereas a Gladius is more like an aircraft.

BTW what you can compare on the moons already is the different gravity (walking/jumping on the surface) and the day/nightime cycles since planetary rotation is implemented.

Oh and here is a chance to win an Anvil Hawk (bounty hunter ship) during this years anniversary sale: Anniversary special week

And I need a crew later on for this beast: Hammerhead

Just a little heads-up about the current PTU status: you are not missing anything since performance and bugs are still a big issue. But it´s progressing steady with daily updates even on a Sunday.

Today, I finally had a chance to join an instance with 30-40 fps for a couple of hours which is awesome once the game runs smooth.

SC Alpha 3.0 PTU Build is now open to all backers so anyone should be able to download it.
Personal opinion: I would not say it´s unplayable but at a stage where it´s far from being enjoyable due to low performance. Well, it´s a test build for an alpha release so don´t expect to much.

Here is an example of a cargo run: https://youtu.be/RT00FaCE7yU

update 12/22: with "3.0 AR" just released, I am a more confident getting 30-50 fps depending on server and player count.

Sure, np!
I need to reinstall TS when I am back after christmas.
Until then, here is some Squadron 42 (SC Singleplayer) gameplay from yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHR1aEdTA4M

Noobifier does a nice walkthrough of the newest and biggest ship so far, the Reclaimer. I own a lot of ships but not this one: I want to earn it ingame because.... Nostromo u know.

Yo Vin Diesel you heard about 1st implementation of Face over IP in Star Citizen Alpha 3.3?

Did you know that you can change "Vin Diesel" into "I END LIVES"?

Parking a Corvette inside of a hangar may take some time
