Roberts Space Industries website announces the release of a patch for Star Citizen,
updating the alpha version of Cloud Imperium's space game to version 2.4,
calling this the "biggest and most important update since Star Citizen Alpha
2.0." This adds new currency and purchase options to the game, imbues their

sale, and more.
