Hey all,
StarCitizen 3.3 Is out on PTU for all. Much better performance amongst other improvements and additions.
If you didnt see Citizencon there was a great demo of upcoming 3.3.5 content like lorville (an actual working metro system) and Hurston,
I'd recommend these videos if you dont want to watch the entire thing:

Cool. I will check it out.
Bought a ship on this years ago.
same here warlohn bought a £60 package like 4 years ago lol
Pretty substantial fps improvements for most players in 3.3 - I have been inactive as well, but set up a PTU instance today.
yeah i've gone from 20-30 fps on a 1080ti and i7 8086k (24gb ram too) to 80-120 fps its crazy
Object container streaming is glorious - loading just the visible world rather than the entire universe :3
What ships do you all have?
I haven't messed around in the PTU yet, my internet is pretty terrible so I am just waiting for it to go live before I spend the few days updating it. But yeah I have gotten a few ships though I switch them around from time to time, this is what I have right now.
Origin 100I, Origin 135C, F7C-M Super Hornet, Constellation Phoenix, Nox Kue, Caterpillar, Drake Dragonfly, Razor EX, Carrack, and Redeemer.
just the starter ship here.
wowza thats some nice ships!
& Thats the beauty of SC though you can be whatever you want ship branch wise. Starter ships can still make you earn enough to build up and you can always join friends or strangers too!
TIP FOR ANYONE
If you have SC downloaded at the minute, PTU will want you to re download the entire thing so simply navigate to your Star citizen directory -- usually
C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries
change "StarCitizen" folder name to StarCitizenPTU and then download. It will detect the game and just update the files rather than redownload the entire version
The funny thing is I do find myself using a few favorites (ships) that are not on the expensive end.
I have had the opportunity to be part of this project since Kickstarter, so over the years I have accumulated probably a bit too much in terms of ships. From capitals to random single seat fighters I would be happy to show you folks around anything that is flyable if there is a ship you have interest in.
I plan to start playing a bit more this weekend but would be up for joining any event play if folks are up for it the future.
It would be good to get a mini event on the run, I’m sure there are many members that have an interest in SC even if it won’t be their main game. It would also make for an awesome display to see all of the ships that are owned across TAW. Not that my Mustang Beta will add much to the party!!
I'll be in the Play sub channels Playing as much as I can so feel free to join!
Speaking of Star Citizen, what did you folks think of the Kraken? I was wondering if anyone plans on taking a closer look at it.
