This is the event that a lot of you have been waiting for. Roberts Space Industries is close to releasing a long awaited update. Star Citizen Alpha 3.0.0 Procedural Planet update marks a major advance in the Star Citizen Persistent Universe. When it is released you will be able to seamlessly land on and explore procedurally generated planets and moons in the Stanton system. Initially, players will be able to land on three moons, Yela, Cellin and Dalamar. Drive ground based vehicles at high speed on planetary surfaces. There will be additional missions, derelict ships, debris fields and the three moons will have outposts. With 3.0.0 will come the implemenation of commodities, trading, automated cargo buy/sell kiosks, and, indirectly, piracy. Along with that will come the initial release of the foundation AI system which controls AI NPCs, missions, dynamic content and conversational logic. Catch the fever, and don't miss out on the fun, join the Republic of Lorell now as we explore the reworked Stanton system with our friends.

Star Citizen is rapidly advancing toward release. A letter from the Chairman, dated April 16, 2017 lays out the ambitious expectations for the coming months of 2017.

SC is presently using version 2.6. The goal is to have that version updated to 3.0, a major update in the series, by the end of June.

At the present time 2.6 allows a player to walk around a space station, board a ship, fly that craft thousands of kilometers, open the canopy, exit the ship, walk to an airlock, open it, and EVAing over to a derelict station, all from the same point of view. The 3.0 update will now allow a player to fly directly to a planet or moon within range, land and explore it on foot, or from the ship, or a ground vehicle, all seamlessly. And the worlds are huge.

You do have to make a donation in order to participate. But with a donation of as little as $45, you get a ship and the chance to join a dynamic community being built around the most ground breaking multiplayer game of its time.

If you are interested in a civilian role, then the Aurora MR is your best bet. Good at dogfighting? The Mustang Alpha might be the choice for you.
