Star Citizen Alpha 1.3.0 live

Since yesterday, the latest Star Citizen Patch is on the live servers. It was running on the PTU for the last week with a total of six hotpatches between last Friday and yesterday.

The latest patch (Alpha 1.3.0) is more a "technical patch", used to combine all the different development branches back into one unified code base. Therefore it doesn't look that major from the outside, but it is quite an import step to future releases.
There is a bunch of bugfixes, some balancing and a few new features:
  • ArcCorb got extended with a new area, there are GreyCat buggies everywhere you can drive and crash, and there is a revive mechanic now (which you will need, trying out the GreyCats ;-) ).
  • The chat-system got an overhaul and there are some more bits and pieces to the social system.
  • Balancing gave all ships more health, reduced damage of energy weapons and speed to ballistics (also shield penetration of them got reduced from 70% to 60%).
  • There are two new weapons, a ballistic S4 cannon you can mount on a Hornet or Cutlass at the moment, and a S2 Mass Driver that needs so much energy that running more than two on any ship will leach so much energy out of your generator that the rest of you systems start going down.

See the full patch notes here.
