The Star Citizen Alpha 3.20 update, “Fully Loaded,” introduces new features such as the Hull C cargo hauler and the Fury LX racing ship. The update also includes improvements to stations, missions, ship handling, and mining, and is generally well-received by players despite some concerns about ship pricing and known bugs.
The Star Citizen Alpha 3.20 update, known as “Fully Loaded,” is now available. It introduces new features to the persistent universe, including updates to cargo and the addition of the Hull C, a massive cargo hauler. The price for the Hull C has increased from $350 to $500, making the Hull D, which is currently unavailable for purchase, cheaper at $450. The update also includes a new racing ship called the Fury LX, which is fast and agile and can be used as a personal shuttle or by explorers.
There is a ship sale associated with the update, focusing on racing and cargo ships. Various ships and ship packs are available for purchase, as well as a Nova tank and skins for many ships. However, there are some concerns about the pricing of these ships, with some being seen as expensive.
The update also brings new features such as the replacement of Port Olisar with Seraphim Station, which offers all the facilities of the previous stations in a larger and more future-proof design. There are also updates to underground facilities, new missions, combat logging prevention, and improvements to ship handling, AI, and mining.
While the patch includes bug fixes, performance enhancements, and stability improvements, there are still some known issues that may affect gameplay. These include issues with ship spawning, cargo transfers, sound degradation, and various other minor bugs. However, overall, the stability of the patch is seen as an improvement.
The update is well-received by players, who are enjoying the new features and improvements. The patch also sets the stage for upcoming events such as the Jump Town Dynamic event, CitizenCon, and the Interactive Aerospace Expo. Players are encouraged to provide feedback on their experiences with the Alpha 3.20 update.
