Star Citizen introduces the Meteor combat ship in alpha 4.2.1, resembling RSI Mantis with increased firepower and focus on combat capabilities.
The Meteor is a medium-sized fighter designed for daily space travel and missions, featuring two size 5 ballistic cannons, repeaters, gatling guns, missile racks, and hidden compartment for FPS weapons.
The release date for alpha 4.2.1 and the Meteor ship is yet to be announced, but backers can currently test the new build in the PTU, offering a glimpse at new features like the Volt pistol and ship escort missions.
Star Citizen remains in alpha development since its Kickstarter in 2012, now crowdfunded with over $800M, facing delays in its completion and criticism, while also being the highest-crowdfunded video game of all time.
