A new patch has been released for StarCitizen, which the game authors called “most expansive”

The long-term construction project from the Cloud Imperium Games studio received update 3.23, which added a lot of content to Star Citizen. Let us remind you that the space simulator has been in development for almost 12 years.

The authors called the new patch one of the «most expansive». With the update, new creatures appeared in the game — the copion hound and the mark bird. The developers promise that they will add even more animals later. New locations with their own missions are now available for research — Distribution Centers. The character editor has been improved, with an expanded selection of face and hairstyle presets.

The changes affected battles on spaceships — fighters became more maneuverable, and combat ships received more powerful armor and weapons. In addition, three ship control modes have been added. The developers also redid the animation of character movements in zero gravity, improved the user interface and shooting mechanics, redid the lighting in the game and added new ground vehicles — gravity bikes.

The full list of changes can be found here. There is still no release date for the project.

Recently, the Star Citizen developers updated the system requirements for their game. And in March it became known that the project was at the «finish line.»
