Star Citizen Alpha 2.6 is now live!
And there are quite some updates:
- Star Marine: The long anticipated first-person-shooter. Similar to Arena Commander just on foot, you fight either everybody-for-himself-Deathmatch, or two-teams-domination.
- Massive ship speeds rebalance: basically all the ships had their combat speeds reduced by 50% or so, bringing combat much closer together. At the same time there was a big change of how boost and afterburner work.
- Visual effects and UI: A lot of graphics and visual effect, as well as a large part of the UI got a big overhaul.
- New ships: Some special variants + the Caterpillar, Harald and X85
- Bugfixes: lots of them
- etc...
