Star Citizen's latest update, alpha 4.2 named Storm Breaker, introduces a new persistent raiding activity at shifty research labs on Pyro IV and Pyro I with PvE challenges.
The update also unveils the Esperia Prowler cargo ship, three new variants of power suits, new weapons, and item additions.
Significant changes include rain storms, radiation exposure hazard, weapon balance tweaks, vehicle adjustments, and improvements like shield regen distribution and torpedo tracking.
Star Citizen, a highly crowdfunded game, remains in an incomplete alpha state despite raising over $800 million and facing delays in its planned launch.
The game has a loyal following but also skeptics, with the spin-off single-player game Squadron 42 facing repeated delays.
The full details of the update are available in the official patch notes from the Star Citizen website.
