[All Backer PTU] Star Citizen Alpha 4.3.2 PTU 10422586 Patch Notes
Audience: All Backers
Mesh Configuration: 7:3:600
Features & Gameplay
-
Gameplay
- Leaked internal documents from the Associated Science and Development Group suggest that a major containment operation is underway deep within their Onyx Facility. The documents describe the discovery of a vast underground cave system during recent excavation work, where a large and reportedly dangerous creature was encountered.
- Sources indicate that the group has since implemented reinforced airlock systems throughout the site to maintain safety. Personnel have reportedly been advised to bring small fire teams, equipped with tractor beams and ample ammunition.
- The Associated Science and Development Group has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.
-
Economy Balance Changes
- Initial Industrial Patch Changes to Bulk Grade Commodities.
- Mining of Bulk Grade Commodities (Iron, Tin, Tunsgten ETC) Should see between a 8-15% increase to profits.)
- Free Trade should see a 15-20% increase to ROI for Bulk Grade commodities (Hydrogen, Processed Food, Steel, Pressurized Ice, Helium etc) - If we let you buy it in 32 SCU crates itâs probably Bulk Grade.
- Specific Balance Changes
- Heart of the Woods wasnât anywhere near valuable enough for itâs grade and got increased a lot
- Partiullium was on the other hand 400% above standard for the value for itâs grade and got bumped down to only be 200% above standard
- Scrap price got buffed overall, however the two best locations to sell scrap are now some of the stations in Pyro, which encourages trade between systems.
- Construction Materials Changes
- In line with the increased in value per single SCU of Construction Material, itâs now primarily sold in 8SCU increments at corresponding buy locations.
- Construction Sub-material Rates: The Refining Speed, Yield and Cost for the 3 Construction Salvage Materials have been updated and implemented, for more specifics on the values and reasoning here, Andrei is the expert and can provide some insight.
- The goal here is that while larger salvage ships provide a meaningful level of improvement to efficiency, the smaller ships do not become completely irrelevant.
