The Star Citizen community has been waiting for the upcoming Alpha 3.18 update, and the developers at Cloud Imperium Games appeared in an extensive video to discuss it.<\/p>\n

Alpha 3.18 is claimed to be the largest since 3.0 in 2017 and it comes with the highly anticipated Persistent Entity Streaming feature. Basically, the game’s servers will save (up to a point), the position of objects that players leave, from coffee cups to spaceships, opening up a lot of interesting gameplay opportunities and providing players with the sensation of living in a world on which they can make a bigger impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further features include multiple racing tracks, more rivers, the first iteration of salvaging, an update to cargo gameplay, and much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this video, live game director Todd Papy on top of\u00a0Beno\u00eet Beaus\u00e9jour and\u00a0Guillaume\u00a0Voghel from Turbulent, provide more color on what we can expect from the patch, also discussing the limits of Persistent Entity Streaming. Of course, we won’t be able to litter the universe entirely and cleanup mechanics will exist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
