The latest Star Citizen Evocati patch 3.20 introduces updates to the Hull C ship and cargo systems, including a new automated cargo transfer system and improvements to the placement of cargo in ships. Additionally, leaks include updates to the MobiGlas, the addition of a new commodity called “ice,” and the discovery of underground facilities potentially intended for future releases.
In the latest Star Citizen Evocati patch 3.20, there are several exciting updates and new leaks to discuss. The patch focuses on the Hull C ship and cargo updates, as well as improvements in vehicle handling, AI ship difficulty, mining stability, and Arena Commander game modes. There is also a new automated cargo transfer system that instantly adds or removes purchased or sold cargo for ships. However, the Hull C introduces a new experience where players must pick up or drop off their cargo at a loading area, with the cargo being added to the ship’s cargo grid over a period of approximately 5 minutes.
The patch also brings a complete rewrite of how the cargo system places cargo into ships, supporting various sized cargo boxes and orientations. There are temporary changes to the multi-tool tractor beam, allowing it to move 32 seu (Space Engineering Unit) boxes. Additionally, the cargo grids have been extended to support non-cargo box attachments, potentially including ship weapons components.
In terms of player movement improvements, the patch includes updated Vault and mantling mechanics, allowing players to smoothly grab ledges while running and jumping. The patch shows the beginning of how the working Squadron directly impacts the Persistent Universe (PU), with more features from Squadron to be added to the PU in the future.
In terms of leaks, the patch includes updates to the MobiGlas, such as new interactions and usability improvements for the star map and Galactopedia implementation. There are also improvements to notifications for currency transfers and friend requests. Additionally, a new commodity called “ice” has been added, which can be refined into hydrogen and oxygen. Lastly, new files for underground facilities, owned by Gray Cat and Covalex, have been found, possibly intended for Pyro.
It is important to note that the presence of these files in the patch does not guarantee their inclusion in 3.20, as they may be intended for future releases or to be showcased at CitizenCon. Nonetheless, these leaks provide exciting previews of potential future features.
