Star Citizen version 3.21 has been released, bringing new missions and fixing various issues in the game. The highlight of the update is the addition of the sleek Crusader A1 Spirit bomber, capable of dropping bombs, although there are still some unresolved AI issues with NPCs at derelict outposts.
Star Citizen version 3.21 has been released in the Persistent Universe, titled “Mission Ready.” The update includes new missions, such as criminal activities at Security Post Korea and the retrieval of consigned items from underground facilities. There are also missions available at Crusader platforms. Additionally, a referral bonus has been introduced, allowing players to refer friends and earn rewards.
The 3.21 update has fixed several issues, including one where players would become unstowed and unable to enter the Star Citizen universe. High winds will no longer blow ships away on planets, cargo ATC can now detect vehicles and initiate cargo transfers, and the Carrack ship no longer causes extreme performance drops. However, some issues, like AI not exiting reinforcement vehicles at derelict outpost locations, have not been fixed.
The new addition to Star Citizen is the Crusader A1 Spirit, described as a bomber. The ship is sleek and equipped with four gimbal m5a laser guns. It has a top speed of 1,210 m/s and can reach fast speeds even in atmosphere due to its small size. The A1 Spirit is capable of dropping bombs, controlled by holding the middle mouse button and pressing T to activate the interface. However, the explosion seems to have a significant impact on the ship’s movement, which may be a bug or due to proximity to the point of impact.
The A1 Spirit has a cockpit similar to other Crusader ships, with two beds and a small kitchenette. The majority of the ship is a bomb bay, where the three bombs used are stored. Interestingly, there is a hologram light near the ship’s ramp that indicates its position, preventing anyone from being accidentally hit when it opens or closes. The A1 Spirit is useful for missions that involve blowing things up, such as assassination missions, although it appeared that the NPCs did not leave their ships at derelict outposts, contrary to the patch notes.
In conclusion, Star Citizen version 3.21 introduces new missions and fixes various issues. The highlight of the update is the Crusader A1 Spirit, a sleek bomber capable of dropping bombs. However, there are still some unresolved issues with AI behavior at derelict outposts. The update brings excitement to players, and there is anticipation for future content revealed at Citizen Con.
