sc-testing-chat | ZacPreece_CIG: Hey Y’all, some files were missing from the build to make the volt LMG behave as it should. They’re included now and should be in the next build to make it feel more heavy and chonkier (as well as the recoil reduction with stances working as intended)
sc-testing-chat | ZacPreece_CIG: Hey y’all, next build please keep an eye out for NPC doing the over-long / exaggerated deaths.
As we’ve previously talked about it was occurring too often and we’ve put a fix into 4.3.1 for it to occur far less often and if it does they will rag doll a lot quicker
I know this was something bought up a fair bit so wanted to give you all a heads up!
Cheers
[All Waves PTU] Star Citizen Alpha 4.3.1 PTU 10257441 Patch Notes
Audience: All Backers
Mesh Configuration: 7:3:600
Features & Gameplay
- Gameplay
- Onyx Facility and Mission Polish
Adjusted rewards given for Onyx Facility completion to be based on path taken. Made dozens of audio updates for location ambience, audio logs, wildlines, audio mixing pass, and more.
- Onyx Facility and Mission Polish
- Locations
- Lorville Weapon Vendors
Removed placeholder Lorville security office kiosks and temporarily moving FPS weapons into Tammany and Sons inventory until Security Office can be added.
- Lorville Weapon Vendors
- AI
- FPS AI Death Behavior
Integrating much of the human death animation and behavior from SQ42 into the PU. This will bring much more proper death and hit animation reactions when engaged in FPS combat with AI.
- FPS AI Death Behavior
Ships and Vehicles
- Armour and Ballistic Damage changes iteration pt.2
In order to enhance the overall ship ballistic weapons in gameplay the team iterated on these changes during the PTU cycle for the upcoming patch.
Base armour ballistic reduction damage has now been set to 38% across all ships (previously 50% in 4.3.0 and 40% in 4.3.1 PTU) with some few exception that the team think required a specific unique tuning. This means that ballistic guns will be more effective across the board against all targets, especially when shields are down.
Shield ballistic absorption reduction damage has now been set to 45% for all shields (previously 30% in 4.3.0 and 20% in 4.3.1 PTU). This means that ballistic guns will be less effective across the board against all targets when they have their shields up and running.

- Potential Fix: PU - Vehicles / Cargo - Freight Elevators / Cargo Grids - Vehicle Components - Certain vehicle components will clip into the ground when snapped to a cargo grid

sc-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: Bit of an extra callout from John Crewe this morning! He put in some potential fixes for not equipped modules attached to ship packages disappearing on insurance claim. This should include the mk2 hornet ball turret/missile rack,/TMSB-5 turret, and the Apollo modules. Let me know if you’ve seen them stick around when you claim your ship or (hopefully not) disappear still!
