Star Citizen

Let us know why you're still a fan of starcitizen and/or CIG!

One thing of note from the announcement:

With Turbulent as part of the CIG group of companies, our headcount will be over 1,100, making us one of the largest independent game developers in the world!

It's pretty insane to think how large CIG has gotten over the years. It makes sense to bring in Turbulent now. If everyone remembers correctly, they had spun up a team to make PU content last year, and many of us didn't really understand why that work would happen "out-of-house".

I know that opinions have always been varied about the CIG website and Spectrum, but personally I think Turbulent has a lot of good talent. Whether they are just contracted out or owned by CIG doesn't make a lot of difference, but at least now we know their talent will be dedicated to the project and not split working on other things.

The following cards have been added to Release View in the Alpha 3.20 column:

Seraphim Station A new fully-operational station positioned in the skies above Orison. This station houses multiple shops, cargo services, refuel and repair, and more.

New Crusader Platforms Adding three new points of interest in Crusader's atmosphere, providing new locations for missions and loot.

The following features have passed their final review, therefore we are toggling their status to Committed.

Arena Commander: Experimental Game Modes These limited-time game modes range from simple twists on current modes to entirely new modes. This initiative will not only allow rapid iteration of game modes to be put in players' hands faster, but also allow all teams to gather vital analytic data for specific activities, equipment, vehicles, and in-development features.

New Missions - Salvage Contracts: Coverup Players will be contracted to strip the gang markings and paint off a ship that was used in a crime that the gang doesn't want to get caught for. Security forces will also be searching for the ship to confirm and prosecute whoever had committed the crime.

MISC Hull C Encompasses all tasks, including design, art, audio, and tech, required for the implementation of the MISC Hull-C heavy cargo hauler into the PU.

Wheeled Vehicle Handling Improvements Updates and improvements to current ground vehicle movement parameters and simulation, allowing for more robust tuning and identity between various ground vehicles.
