Cloud Imperium has just revealed the Star Citizen Alpha 4.0 Preview, and it looks like they’ve added some delightful ingredients to this ever-expanding universe.
This latest version introduces players to an exciting second-star system boasting six vast planets and treacherous moons. Think about it: each celestial body is brimming with unique space stations, asteroid bases, and countless points of interest waiting for brave explorers. Also, let’s not forget that UEE interference. Gone! This means players can roam freely without pesky regulations getting in their way.
With Alpha 4.0 comes the revolutionary Server Meshing tech, which allows up to 500 players to share the same universe at once! This upgrades performance in bustling locations and improves persistence and potential for limitless future content additions. It truly feels like we’re stepping into a living, breathing galaxy.
If you’ve ever dreamt of zipping across galaxies (who hasn’t?), you’ll be thrilled to hear that jump points, natural tunnels between systems, are now in play. Exploring different realms will feel as easy as pie… well, if pie requires navigating through cosmic anomalies!
A noteworthy change is how Alpha 4.0, which aims to revamp the game’s economy. Players can expect better loot opportunities than before, especially within contested zones where high risks yield high rewards. For those adventurous enough to venture into Pyro’s dangerous reaches, rare items await alongside contextual treasures tailored for its rugged environment.
