The latest Star Citizen alpha 4.3.2 PTU build introduces the Yormandi, a new creature featured in a boss fight at the Onyx facility site B. Players can access the fight by taking an elevator down to an underground cavern and pulling a lever to start the encounter. The fight takes place in a cold environment with pools of water, where players must work together or solo to defeat the Yormandi, which attacks with plasma or laser jets and has weak points to target. The fight requires ample FPS ammunition and strategic use of tractor beams and cover, as the creature is quite damaging. Defeating the Yormandi yields valuable items like tongues and eyes.
Alongside the Yormandi fight, the patch brings significant economy changes, particularly boosting profits from mining and trading bulk commodities such as iron, tin, tungsten, hydrogen, and processed food. Specific commodities like Heart of the Woods and Partilium have had their values adjusted for better balance. Scrap prices have also been increased with incentives to trade between the Pyro and Stanton systems, encouraging more player interaction and risk-versus-reward gameplay. Construction materials are now sold in larger increments to maintain the relevance of smaller salvage ships while rewarding larger ones.
The patch includes numerous bug fixes addressing crashes, missing interior elements in apartments, collision issues at stations, and inventory problems. Additionally, there are updates to weapons and ships, including art style improvements for lasers and new ships with upgraded liveries at Wiccolo’s. Quality of life enhancements such as the ability to accept Wiccolo missions directly from panels without using the mobiGlas have also been introduced. AI FPS turrets have been added to some locations, enhancing combat encounters.
The roadmap update reveals major salvage system changes, including the introduction of refining and differentiation of salvage types to prepare for crafting features. The Reclaimer ship has received improvements, though it still requires further work. New armor sets, binoculars, and limited-time events like the Frontier Fighters finale are part of the patch. The upcoming CitizenCon event is expected to showcase new ships like the Anvil Paladin and possibly introduce a starter salvage ship. The patch’s live release could coincide with CitizenCon, though some minor issues remain to be resolved.
Finally, the video includes promotional content for NordVPN and the Toby Eye Tracker 5, highlighting their benefits for Star Citizen players. The creator also announces an October ship giveaway featuring several starter and unique ships, encouraging viewers to participate by commenting on videos. Support options for the channel through Patreon or YouTube memberships are mentioned, along with thanks to the community and a positive outlook for the month ahead.
