Star Citizen Alpha 2.4 is Live

LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2016 — Cloud Imperium Games (CIG), the creators of the crowd funded space sim epic, Star Citizen, announced today that the game’s Alpha 2.4 version is now available for backers to play. It’s a significant update for fans of the game as it provides players with Star Citizen’s first iteration of persistence in the universe.
Persistent databases are what allow CIG to store information on items, ships, and actions that a player has taken, so that they can return exactly to where they left off session-to-session. This is a huge step forward into the “Persistent” part of making the “Persistent Universe” the vast universe planned for Star Citizen. During this first iteration, the following items will now “Persist” on the database and be saved from session to session.

• Alpha United Earth Credits (UEC) – Star Citizen’s in-game currency
• Item Purchases
• Hangar Configurations
• Ship Loadouts
• Character Loadouts
• Reputation (Criminal and Defender)

“Adding persistence is a huge milestone and a crucial addition to the game that will affect nearly every aspect of Star Citizen, and this is only the beginning,” said Ben Lesnick, CIG director of community engagement. “A ton of backend work was completed in order to make this possible and we are looking forward to the updates to come as we continue to expand and flesh out this core foundation of the game.”

This is a major update to Star Citizen and is the largest and most impactful since the company released Alpha 2.0 in December of 2015.

Other features in the update are upgrades to shopping areas including the opening of the Casaba Shopping Outlet on ArcCorp where pilots can now purchase the latest fashions from around the frontier at affordable prices. Alpha 2.4 also introduces major changes to the controls, updates to the ship roster (including making the massive Starfarer flyable in-game), bug fixes, balance updates and more!

Star Citizen is 100% crowd funded and was officially announced on October 10, 2012. The money raised pays for the development of the game including the Roberts Space Industries platform where fans and backers can interact with the team, view multiple weekly webcasts about Star Citizen, learn about the story behind the game, read constant updates on the game’s progress and much more. Star Citizen is recognized by Guinness World Records as the top crowd funded project and game in the world.

LOS ANGELES, 11. Juni 2016 - Cloud Imperium Games (CIG), die Schöpfer des von der Menge finanzierten Weltraum-Sim-Epos Star Citizen, gaben heute bekannt, dass die Alpha 2.4-Version des Spiels nun für Geldgeber verfügbar ist. Es ist ein bedeutendes Update für Fans des Spiels, da es den Spielern die erste Wiederholung von Star Citizen's Beharrlichkeit im Universum bietet.
Persistente Datenbanken ermöglichen es der CIG, Informationen über Gegenstände, Schiffe und Aktionen zu speichern, die ein Spieler durchgeführt hat, so dass er genau dorthin zurückkehren kann, wo er von Sitzung zu Sitzung aufgehört hat. Dies ist ein großer Schritt vorwärts in den "persistenten" Teil der Entwicklung des "persistenten Universums" zum riesigen Universum, das für den Sternenbürger geplant ist. Während dieser ersten Iteration bleiben die folgenden Elemente nun auf der Datenbank "bestehen" und werden von Sitzung zu Sitzung gespeichert.

- Alpha United Earth Credits (UEC) - Star Bürger Währung im Spiel
- Artikelkäufe
- Hangar-Konfigurationen
- Schiffsverladungen
- Charakterauslastungen
- Reputation (Straf- und Verteidigerrecht)

"Das Hinzufügen von Ausdauer ist ein großer Meilenstein und eine entscheidende Ergänzung des Spiels, die fast jeden Aspekt von Star Citizen beeinflussen wird, und das ist nur der Anfang", sagte Ben Lesnick, CIG-Direktor für gesellschaftliches Engagement. "Eine Menge Backend-Arbeiten wurden geleistet, um dies zu ermöglichen, und wir freuen uns auf die kommenden Updates, während wir diese Kernfundamente des Spiels weiter ausbauen und ausarbeiten."

Dies ist ein wichtiges Update für Star Citizen und das größte und wirkungsvollste seit der Veröffentlichung von Alpha 2.0 im Dezember 2015.

Weitere Features des Updates sind Upgrades in Einkaufszonen, darunter die Eröffnung des Casaba Shopping Outlet auf ArcCorp, wo Piloten nun die neueste Mode aus aller Herren Länder zu erschwinglichen Preisen erwerben können. Alpha 2.4 bringt auch wichtige Änderungen an den Kontrollen, Aktualisierungen im Schiffsverzeichnis (einschließlich des Umbaus des massiven Starfarer im Spiel), Bugfixes, Balance-Updates und mehr!

Star Citizen ist zu 100% von der Menge finanziert und wurde am 10. Oktober 2012 offiziell angekündigt. Das gesammelte Geld zahlt für die Entwicklung des Spiels, einschließlich der Roberts Space Industries-Plattform, auf der Fans und Geldgeber mit dem Team interagieren können, mehrere wöchentliche Webcasts über Star Citizen ansehen, mehr über die Geschichte hinter dem Spiel erfahren, ständige Updates über den Fortschritt des Spiels lesen und vieles mehr. Star Citizen wird von Guinness World Records als das meistgenutzte Projekt und Spiel der Welt anerkannt.
