Star Citizen Alpha 3.24.2 PTU.9360177 Patch Notes
Audience: Wave 1
Features and Gameplay
Gameplay

- Added Exit Button to Fine Terminals
Ships and Vehicles
- Origin 400i Atmospheric Flight Improvement Polish
- Further Visual Polish to Ship/Vehicle Render To Texture Shaders

Weapons and Items
-
Rifles:
- Rifles have had their horizontal recoil toned down to make them far more consistent at distances contesting SMGs.
-
SMGS:
- Aim return time is how long it takes for the weapon after firing to return to it’s default position
- SMGs were snapping really hard on this so for visual fidelity the return times have been increased
- Keep in mind the stated return time is not actually how long it takes, it’s got a longer duration then stated because it has extra settle / bounce time
-
Snipers:
- The following sniper adjustments are intended to make 1HK to a non-heavy target viable at longer distances as the old values were too punishing and not allowing the sniper fantasy to be possible
