Auf dieser praktischen Seite erfährst du, was du im letzten Jahr vielleicht verpasst hast. Bevor du in dein Schiff springst und die Motoren startest, empfehlen wir dir, dich mit den neuesten Erweiterungen des Verses vertraut zu machen.

Jeder Star Citizen-Patch bringt unzählige Änderungen und aufregende neue Inhalte mit sich, die es zu entdecken gilt. Wähle einfach den letzten Patch aus, über den du mehr erfahren möchtest, und lies weiter!

Alpha 3.11- Große Auswirkungen

Alpha 3.12 - Überfall auf Stanton

Alpha 3.13 - Underground Infamy

Alpha 3.14 - Willkommen in Orison

Wenn du neu in Orison bist und erst einmal mit den Grundlagen beginnen möchtest, findest du hier Tipps für den Einstieg, wie du unserer florierenden Community beitreten kannst und vieles mehr.

Mit dem neuesten Patch, Alpha 3.15: Tödliche Konsequenzen, kannst du dich in das Verse stürzen und brandneue Fahrzeuge, medizinische Ausrüstung, Bomben, Plünderungen und vieles mehr erleben!

Alpha 3.14 - Willkommen in Orison
Alpha 3.14: Willkommen in Orison wurde am 6. August 2021 veröffentlicht und stellte Crusader und seine majestätische Stadt in den Wolken, Orison, vor. Einst Standort der Schiffswerften der UEE Navy, hat Crusader Industries das einzigartige Gitterwerk aus schwimmenden Plattformen in die wohl malerischste Stadt in Stanton verwandelt.


Besuche Crusaders eigene Seite Willkommen in Orison, um mehr über Stantons kultige schwimmende Stadt und das Zentrum der Schiffsherstellung zu erfahren.


Mit den neuen Kondensatoren können Piloten die Energie zwischen den Schilden, Schubdüsen und Waffen ihres Schiffes so aufteilen, wie sie es für richtig halten. Egal, ob es darum geht, Verteidigung und Angriff in der Mitte des Kampfes auszubalancieren oder die Leistung für eine schnelle Flucht zu maximieren - diese zusätzliche Vielseitigkeit kann den Unterschied zwischen Erfolg und Niederlage oder sogar Leben und Tod ausmachen.


Geschosse sind tödlicher als je zuvor, dank des brandneuen Missile Operator-Modus, der für mehr Genauigkeit und Kontrolle im Kampf sorgt. Die Geschosse selbst verwenden jetzt dasselbe Flugmodell wie Schiffe, wodurch sie sich realistischer verhalten und ihre Effektivität verbessert wird.

Und es gibt noch mehr zu entdecken! Lies alle Features und Verbesserungen in Star Citizen Alpha 3.14 in den offiziellen Patch Notes!

Alpha 3.13 - Unterirdische Infamie
Alpha 3.13 - Underground Infamy wurde am 22. April 2021 veröffentlicht und führte neue Untergrundumgebungen, Reputationssysteme, Schiff-zu-Schiff-Docking und zwei neue Fahrzeuge ein.

Um die abwechslungsreichen Höhleneingänge der Alpha 3.13 optimal zu nutzen, gibt es drei neue Missionen, in denen die Spieler/innen Ziele im Untergrund ausschalten müssen. Egal, ob du rechtschaffen bist oder auf der falschen Seite des Gesetzes stehst, es gibt neue Abenteuer unter der Oberfläche.


In Alpha 3.13 wurde erstmals das Andocken von Schiffen an die RSI Constellation und ihr Parasitenschiff, die Kruger Merlin, eingeführt. Die Spieler/innen können von den drei Varianten mit einer Merlin Connie an Bord starten und in einer nahtlosen Reise zurückkehren. Dies ist die erste Version, weitere Schiffe werden in den nächsten Patches unterstützt.


Die erste Version des Reputationsmanagers ist auf dem mobiGlas verfügbar und gibt den Spielern die Möglichkeit, ihren Status bei den verschiedenen Organisationen und Missionsgebern in Stanton zu sehen. Ein besserer Ruf führt zu besseren Belohnungen für erledigte Aufträge und wird in Zukunft den Zugang zu organisationsspezifischen Gegenständen und Missionen ermöglichen. Der Ruf ist eine wichtige Funktion in Star Citizen, denn die Spieler/innen müssen sich überlegen, auf wen sich ihre Handlungen positiv oder negativ auswirken.

Und es gibt noch mehr zu entdecken! Lies alle Features und Verbesserungen in Star Citizen Alpha 3.13 in den offiziellen Patch Notes!

Alpha 3.12 - Angriff auf Stanton
Alpha 3.12 - Assault On Stanton wurde am 17. Dezember 2020 veröffentlicht und führte das Raffinerie-Gameplay, neue Schiffe, aktualisierte Planetenumgebungen, neue Weltraumwolkentechnologie, ein Mehrzweck-Handtraktorstrahl-Tool, KI- und Kampfoptimierungen und vieles mehr ein. Außerdem wurde erstmals eine Backend-Technologie vorgestellt, die dynamische Ereignisse in Star Citizens ständig wachsendem Universum ermöglicht. Die vierteljährlich erscheinenden Patches beinhalten neue, einzigartige Missionen und serverweite Aktivitäten. Von der Verbesserung jährlicher Events wie der Invictus Launch Week bis hin zur Ermöglichung von Patch-exklusiven Abenteuern und Kämpfen - dynamische Events bringen das Universum zum Beben...


Halt dich gut fest: Das allgegenwärtige Greycat Multi-Tool hat mit dem neuen Traktorstrahl-Aufsatz ein Upgrade erhalten. Damit kannst du Objekte und Ladung mit einem Gewicht von bis zu 250 kg bewegen, was die Handhabung der Ladung erheblich erleichtert.

In der Schwerelosigkeit fungiert der Tractor Beam auch als Enterhaken, mit dem du Entfernungen viel schneller zurücklegen kannst als mit EVA allein.


In den Tiefen ausgewählter R&R-Raumstationen findest du einen Stammplatz von Bergleuten und Händlern: die brandneuen Raffineriedecks. Vergiss die Verschwendung von Credits, die du bei einer großen Minenexpedition verdient hast. Du kannst jetzt den Mittelsmann ausschalten, das Erz selbst raffinieren und die Beute einer gut gemachten Arbeit einheimsen.

Und es gibt noch mehr zu entdecken! Lies alle Features und Verbesserungen in Star Citizen Alpha 3.12 in den offiziellen Patch Notes!

Alpha 3.11 - Hohe Schlagkraft
Alpha 3.11 - High Impact wurde am 8. Oktober 2020 veröffentlicht und brachte neue Kraftreaktionen und Hochleistungswaffen sowie Verbesserungen an der Planetenkunst, erweitertes Gefängnis-Gameplay und Frachtdecks mit sich.

Um Stanton am Laufen zu halten, braucht es eine unglaubliche Menge an Erz, Nahrungsmitteln und Waffen, denn die meisten legalen Transporte laufen über mindestens ein Frachtdeck. Die Frachtdecks, die sich an den belebtesten Handelsrouten des Systems befinden, sind dein neuer Anlaufpunkt, um Schiffe zu mieten, Vorräte zu transportieren oder einfach nur eine Verschnaufpause auf langen Reisen einzulegen.


Mit Alpha 3.11 wurde die erste Version von Force Reactions eingeführt. Jetzt reagieren Spieler/innen und NSCs auf Schüsse, neigen sich, wenn Schiffe in die Kurve gehen, und werden sogar von großen Stößen umgeworfen. Das war nur der Anfang für Force Reactions, zukünftige Updates beinhalten Taumeln, Rückstöße und Reaktionen auf äußere Schiffsstöße.


Grüne Zonen verhindern zwangsweise den Einsatz von Waffen in der Nähe von Landezonen und vielen Points-of-Interest. In Alpha 3.11 wurden sie von den meisten Raumstationen entfernt, so dass du die Waffen deines Schiffes nach Belieben einsetzen kannst. Aber Vorsicht, schlechtes Verhalten hat Konsequenzen...
