Star Citizen Version 1.1 [Mar 22, 2015, 12:41 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Roberts Space Industries website announces that Star Citizen version
1.1 is now live, a major update that will require backers to reinstall the space
combat game in its entirety. The new version adds new ships to buy, a new
manual, new controls, and new systems, including takeoffs and landings. Cloud
Imperium also introduces the ability to rent ships and components using REC
earned within public Arena Commander matches. Here's a summary of new systems:
Most importantly, Star Citizen 1.1 includes the launch of a number of new systems. Some, like the 64-bit conversion, are entirely ‘under the hood,’ while others are available for use today. The game now includes a new character rig, with smoother and better animations. The new dynamic damage system has been launched with the Gladius, and will eventually be applied to all old and new ships. Arena Commander also now features a landing system (detailed below), a new Mounts system with the introduction of Gimbal Mounts to the store and, likely most interesting for today’s pilot, the launch of the REC system. This is our first pass at rental credits, aimed to allow payment-free progression in Arena Commander. You can expect plenty of balancing in the coming days, so get out there and provide your feedback! As promised, all existing backers will get 5,000 REC to start things off!
You can see the entire change list in the 1.1 patch notes here.
I don't understand why this just don't use Semantic Versioning like pretty much every one else does now-a-days: http://semver.org
Claiming SC is at or beyond 1.0.0 is just opening them up for massive amounts of criticism even if it's for just one of the modules. You can have each on the modules at or below 1.0.0, but for gods sake don't claim SC is at 1.1.
I played the free weekend thing and thought it looked fantastic visually, but that there was no game to speak of. There's great potential, but I don't see how they are getting to a polished product next year.
I think Frontier did things right with Elite... they took on a fraction of the scope and released something that was light on unique content, but has endless procedurally generated content. Now they just need to keep on adding new content on a regular basis to keep up with the community- the game keeps me busy, but I don't put in 6 hours a day on it.
I'm worried SC will eventually start to crumble under it's own weight as the realities of a monolithic project rears its ugly head.
