After spending more than half a month on the game’s PTU servers, Cloud Imperium Games have announced that Alpha 2.1 for Star Citizen has now entered live servers. This update provides a plethora of bug fixes and balance updates which seek to enhance the Star Citizen experience, in addition to a number of new features.
Some of the new features introduced in this update include: both the MISC Freelancer (Base Model) and Aegis Vanguard Warden becoming flyable in Universe Mode, the Aegis Sabre becoming hangar ready, a new type of mission surrounding the Covalex Shipping Hub and more. You can read more about this update through the official patch notes HERE.
This update is now available to everyone who has pledged towards a Star Citizen package, from the $30 Starter Packages to the more expensive packages which come in at several hundred or several thousand dollars. You can read my first impressions post of version 2.0 HERE.
Plan to sign up for Star Citizen and take your first steps in the Verse? Enlist using the referral code STAR-JCS6-3943 and you will earn yourself an extra 5,000 UEC to spend in the Voyager Direct store. As you might already expect with a referral system, I receive a few perks as well.
Game Packages start at $45.00 (Aurora LN, Aurora MR, Mustang Alpha) and will grant you access to digital download copies of both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 when they are launched in the future (This may possibly change in the future, where both will only be purchasable separately). Depending on your budget and ship preference, packages can go right up to $325.00 plus.
I like the disclosure about your referral code! I don’t always see that. Definitely deserves a thank you.
