In this video, Ryan, also known as Mac, discusses his favorite features of Star Citizen Alpha 3.22. He begins by expressing his excitement for the new settlements introduced in this update. These settlements offer points of interest for missions and shopping, and Ryan appreciates the unique designs and the potential for more diverse locations in the future. He looks forward to the day when NPCs populate these settlements, adding to the immersive experience.
Another feature Ryan enjoys is the structural salvage mechanic. Although it is not yet the full ship-chopping and grinding mechanic, it still provides a satisfying gameplay loop. Ryan shares an exciting experience where he salvaged a ship in an Asor clearing settlement, highlighting the scale and integration of different game mechanics. He looks forward to the future implementation of physicalized salvage.
Personal cargo containers are another valuable addition in Alpha 3.22. While they are not physically openable yet, they allow players to store and transport their items conveniently. Ryan appreciates the convenience and looks forward to the evolution of these containers into actual physical boxes. He mentions that they will become even more necessary as player homes and hangars are introduced.
Ryan also mentions various polishing, optimization, and quality of life improvements in this update. He highlights the attention given to FPS weapons, with improved recoil, stats, and balancing. He also mentions the increased time to kill, which he hopes will be adjusted slightly. Additionally, he notes the stability and smoother gameplay experience in Alpha 3.22, which is a positive sign for the end-of-year patch.
In conclusion, Ryan encourages viewers to try out Alpha 3.22 and shares details about a giveaway and a sale on the Toby eye tracker. He invites viewers to subscribe to his channel and join his Twitch streams. He expresses gratitude to his patrons and channel members and thanks viewers for watching.
