Star Citizen 3.9: Features and new features of the update in check

In April 2020, Star Citizen went into version 3.9. The update continued some developments from the previous version directly, joined by some brand new features. We've got the rundown.

Progress with problems: 3.9 isn't just causing joy among the community.

Star Citizen is on record pace for 2020, though it will still take many years to complete. The recently live 3.9 shows good approaches, but also raises new problems.

Star Citizen: This is new with Alpha 3.9

The most important features summarized:

• On the Hurston moon Aberdeen is now the Klescher prison (Klescher Automated Prison). This adds a whole new dimension to lawbreaking in the game. The duration of imprisonment can be many hours, even escapes are possible.
• New Babbage, the landing zone on the planet microTech, which was introduced with 3.8, can finally be approached and entered.
• In addition, three moons of microTech, namely Calliope, Euterpe and Clio, can be explored.
• The long announced survival mechanics in the form of food, drink and temperature have been introduced.
• The Esperia Prowler has been introduced as a new ship.
• Thanks to new missions and new equipment, there are fresh targets for games.
• The friend lists and their management have been revised.
• Weapon modding is now possible outside of the inventory.

In addition, the performance should be further improved, but the feedback from the community raises doubts whether this has been done as comprehensively as promised. As exciting as the new features read, 3.9 is so far quite controversial anyway, because the stability is lower than in 3.8. Especially the 30K error occurs frequently, which acutely endangers many missions or the invested time.As always, therefore, Star Citizen is still a true alpha in version 3.9 - you should be aware of this every time you log in.
