Star Citizen Adds Persistence [Mar 13, 2023, 10:50 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A new alpha patch arrived Saturday in Star
Citizen, updating the space-based everything to all people game to version
3.18. As noted, this update is called "Lasting Memories," as it adds Persistent
Entity Streaming (PES) promising "real, universal persistence." Word is: "With
this new tech, all physical objects moved or placed by players will be
dynamically tracked on the server they were moved on and remain in their new
locations." So the good news is this is further progress towards the game's
ambitions. The bad news is familiar, and also relates to persistence. The
crowdfunded game is now on year 11 of what was originally planned as a two-year
development cycle and it's not in beta yet. Here's the
Lasting Legacies Trailer and here's more:
Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) today announced the release of the Star Citizen – Alpha 3.18: Lasting Legacies update. Available now, Lasting Legacies marks a giant technical leap forward on Star Citizen’s journey to deliver real, universal persistence with the addition of Persistent Entity Streaming (PES). With this new tech, all physical objects moved or placed by players will be dynamically tracked on the server they were moved on and remain in their new locations. Players can now leave their mark for other players to find or encounter the aftermath of other players’ actions when they log in, creating one of the most immersive and “lived-in” experiences ever seen in games. PES represents the largest significant technical update in the game’s history and is a critical addition in laying the foundation for full in-game persistence and Server Meshing that will unlock a new level of immersion in the ‘verse.

ITT: People taking the time out of their day to bitch and moan about a game they don't even play. 🤣
Taking time to full appreciate the money I donated to Chris's 11 year pub crawl is not the same as bitching,
The most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions.
