This video discusses various updates in Star Citizen, including the release of the Mariah Fury LX racing variant and updates to combat logging and visibility. The 3.20 patch also includes quality of life improvements and bug fixes, demonstrating progress in the game’s development.
In this video, the host discusses several updates in Star Citizen. Firstly, the Maria Fury LX, a racing variant of the Fury snub lineup, will be released as flyable in Alpha 3.20. Racing is being developed as a full career option in the game. The progress tracker now includes the quarter three schedule for the North America PU gameplay features team and the vehicle gameplay feature team. The NAPU team is working on freight elevators and persistent hangars, set to be completed by the end of September. The vehicle team is working on jump points and resource management, expected to be finished in late September. The host speculates that these features may be released this year.
In the 3.20 PTU patch, two notable quality of life updates were added. Combat logging has a new timer, providing a warning to players logging out while in combat, preventing them from keeping their gear. The option to allow only friends to call via com calls has been introduced, which may limit communication and potentially hinder gameplay. The patch also includes fixes for ships’ quantum hoods properly aligning with destinations, enhancing the player experience. The Argo Mole update allows the pilot to use the ship’s mining scanners for gathering information while piloting, but does not enable the use of the mining laser from the pilot seat. The patch also resolves bugs, including the issue of characters becoming invisible and replaces ocean tessellation with a screen size-based solution to improve planetary performance.
Overall, these updates in the 3.20 patch aim to resolve issues and improve quality of life in Star Citizen. Although not a major update in terms of new features, it shows progress towards server meshing and addresses edge case issues.
