"Patch 3.22 Is Going Open (This Is The State Of It So Far) | Star Citizen
Star Citizen Patch 3.22 is about to go open to all backers. Here’s a breakdown of how ready it is."
The video discusses the current state of patch 3.22 in Star Citizen, noting that while it may have opened up to everyone, it is still a work in progress. The highlights of the patch include the addition of new ships to buy, improvements in performance with major landing zones like Lorville seeing an increase in frames per second, and the fixing of a rogue wind effect. However, the performance at the new Shanty Town locations is inconsistent.
In space, the performance is good with high frame rates, except when towing a ship which can cause a decrease in frames. The frequency of server disconnections (30ks) has been reduced, and refueling is now more consistent. The new locations, made from crashed ships, add variety to the game and provide opportunities for trading. The density of trees has also increased, creating a more realistic environment.
The video highlights the new salvage mechanics, which have been updated with a multi-step process called “Soul Sweeping”. The Salvage buffer size has been adjusted for both the Vulture and Reclaimer ships, allowing for increased cargo capacity and more materials to be collected. The time it takes to salvage structures has also been increased. The sell prices for Construction Mats (CM) and Refined Metals (RMC) have been adjusted, with CM selling for 6,000 credits and RMC selling for 14,300 credits.
Other updates mentioned include armor costing more, an addition to shopping kiosks that allow storage of items in self-storage containers, new hair options with moving animations, and improvements in facial expressions. The video concludes by expressing excitement for the speed at which things are progressing in Star Citizen, as teams transition from Squadron 42 and bring new features to the Persistent Universe. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of patch 3.22 in Star Citizen.
