Star Citizen 1.1 is now available

Star Citizen

Cloud Imperium Games have now released a new update to their world record breaking title, Star Citizen.

The “Best Damn Space Sim” has previously been released as separate modules. Initially is had been launched a Hanger Module, an area to house players ships and view them. The game soon evolved to include Arena Commander, an in fiction game which revolves around dogfighting. Now, the team behind the game has decided to launch Star Citizen 1.1.

The update comes packed with a list of features, including two new playable ships. The Aegis Dynamics Retaliator and Gladius light fighter both offer different play style options to players. The first ship is for civilian cargo transport while the second is can be used for escort or interceptor based work.

Another new feature that is brought to us by this update is the brand new way of launching the Arena Commander the SimPod, 64-bit conversion, the REC system to rent weapons or ships and the first version of the landing mechanics. Now, that the 64-bit conversion has taken place we will be able to see drastic improvements in the game very soon. The 64-bit processing allows for larger maps as the distances between objects, both small and large, can now be determined with more precision by the engine.

However, you must keep in mind that if you wish to incorporate this update you will have to re-install the entire game, not just patch the launch.
