With our new procedural planet tech, there was a strong need to make sure that we efficiently update all the entities and components in our game world (their number increased significantly compared to 2.6.3). For example, with commodity trading, we’re testing out the very first iteration of the dynamic economy that will control the marketplace of the universe. Alpha 3.0.0 is also the first implementation of a lot system changes that go on in the background. This update contains one of our largest feature sets to date – including the three moons of Crusader, a new mission system, improved shopping and cargo mechanics, and increased our server player count from twenty-four to fifty players. Alpha Patch 3.0.0 has been released to all Star Citizen backers.
