The 2020 CitizenCon was cancelled due to the Coronavirus Lockdowns this is a major blow to Star Citizen in terms of hype, funding and marketing. Star Citizen Alpha 3.11 High Impact Released October 8th which was pretty bang on time wise, a week later than the estimated end of September release… and actually this was planned to coincide with it’s “Birthday” Celebrations. There are various updates to locations too and Pico the Penguin… hes a very good boy The ROC went straight to driveable this was a new Mining Vehicle that allows you to harvest new medium gem nodes that are around planets. There was Body Dragging, a New Damage Type with Electron and associated Pistol and Sniper to go with it, They added a trading app so you could send merits and aUEC to other players. There was an overhaul to turrets, targeting and accuracy improvements we had Fixed Weapon Assist, Missiles and Countermeasures Changes.
#Star citizen review Patch
This patch overhauled the Flight Model & Combat changing the way ships flew in Atmosphere and Space. So Star Citizen 3.10 Flight & Fight Released August 5th over a month behind schedule.
#Star citizen review series
The event was both amazingly successful and an utter disaster tho as CIs servers were just hammered with a load of new players and the login servers went down… there were constant server disconnects, along with the standard bugs… It did however get CI to get to work on some server redundancy and robustness of backend services (which have since paid at least some dividends).Ĭloud Imperium unveiled the G12 Series of Rovers the G12, G12A & G12R were revealed as concept vehicles during Fleet Week.Īnd obvious after the 3.9 Patch we have 4.0 oh no… I mean 3.10 CI decided to change their patch naming scheme to match major releases, so the moniker of 4.0 is being saved for Pyro, Server Meshing and Jump Points which will all come together in a future patch. There was a Expo going on as well on ArcCorp where you could see and rent various military ships each day at a newly added location. It was our first taste of Capital Ship combat… and even though CI tried to make the ships touger… players always find a way.Īlso people were stealing the Military Fighters too Flying them around… it was a mad and cool event. This had the UEE Fleet with Idrises and a Javelin along with F8 Lightings and F7A Hornet ships flying around with fireworks being shot off around them… they moved between the major planetary space station (that had new large ship docks added to them) AND players obviously wanted to fight them so we saw various videos of Idris and Javelin takedowns. This was a massive FreeFly event that had a load going on, a Ship Sale of Military Styled ships which helped CI earn over $15m during the month.
We also saw implementation of the first Tevarin Ship by Esperia, the Prowler, the very cool Birds nest troop transport.Īt the end of May we had ILW (Invictus Launch Week) Otherwise known as Fleet Week. The 3.9 Patch added various major content, Prison & Associated Gameplay, New Babbage the Landing Zone on microTech and the planets 3 moons – Calliope, Euterpe & Clio, an improved friends list, weapon attachments, the Prisoner Transport Mission, Player Status Survival Updates and an Improved Player Inventory / Interaction System. It did cause some setbacks with them having to work out new ways to deploy massive game builds remotely, and getting PCs to their staff and dealing with employees that had to isolate or that were ill… and this is a theme throughout 2020. But also because the various CI studios had to start working from home due to the Coronavirus lockdowns.ĬI was in a relatively good place compared to a lot of businesses as it was set up for remote working and is a global set of studios that had been working a similar (tho smaller scale) way for many years. This was due to various blockers and issues that needed to be solved. We had a very slow start to the year BUT Star Citizen Alpha 3.9 Locked Up & Loaded Released April 29th, which was a month behind schedule. Hello & Welcome to some more Star Citizen looking at a breakdown of What Happened in 2020 with Star Citizen’s Development, Releases, Events, Successes and Failures in this very difficult year for many around the world!
