Cloud Imperium Games hat Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 veröffentlicht. Das Weltraumspiel bietet fortan 17 Open-World-Missionen und zwar acht Missionen mit Dogfights im Weltall und bei denen man das Raumschiff verlassen muss (inkl. Ego-Shooter-Gefechte), acht Missionen bei denen man Zivilisten retten und Daten beschaffen muss und ein Einsatz, bei dem man eine verlassene Raumstation untersuchen darf. Hinzukommen über 20 zufällige Begegnungen, dauerhafte Gefechte mit Piraten im Yela-Asteroidengürtel, Multi-Crew-Schiffe, neue Raumschiffe (Constellation, Retaliator, Vanguard), der Nachbrenner/Booster und Quantum Travel (Schnellreise). Auch Arena Commander, ArcCorp (Sociale Module) und der Hangar wurden überarbeitet. Außerdem steht die nächste Rekordmarke in Sachen Crowdfunding an, denn aktuell haben 1.082.347 Unterstützer einen Betrag von 99.914.607 Dollar zugesagt. Alle Unterstützer dürfen Alpha 2.0 ausprobieren.

Verfügbare Schauplätze:

• 1 planet: Crusader.
• 3 moons: Yela with its asteroid belt, Cellin with a station and Daymar with a station.
• 3 distinct stations: Port Olisar (The new local shipping hub, a space hotel players get their start in), Security Post Kareah (our FPS PvP location), Covelex Shipping Hub (Abandoned shipping hub, acting as an EVA exploration location for players).
• 1 Cry-Astro repair and restock station.
• 9 Comm arrays with encounters, missions and EVA exploration.

"Alpha 2.0 is a major breakthrough for Stars Citizen", said Roberts. "It represents the first true slice of gameplay that includes much of what Star Citizen will bring to our fans: thrilling space combat in a massive play area, first person battles and multi-crew ships where you and your friends can adventure together in a portion of the universe on the same ship. It’s all technology that has never been undertaken to this scale and depth before in our industry. We are forever grateful for our backers and fans", said Roberts. "They been there from the beginning when we launched Star Citizen's funding campaign three years ago. And they’ve helped create the most passionate and loyal community in our industry. They are helping us every step along the way in creating the best damn space sim ever."
