Cloud Imperium Games Sets Stage for Large-scale Dynamic Events and Launches Free Drake Dragonfly Black Ship Referral Program

LOS ANGELES – Dec. 17, 2020 – Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) announced the launch of the latest Alpha update for Star Citizen. Available for all active and new Star Citizen pilots, the Star Citizen – Alpha 3.12: Assault on Stanton update introduces refinery gameplay, new ships, updated planetary environments, new space cloud tech, a multi-purpose handheld tractor beam tool, AI and combat optimizations, and a wide array of other additions and improvements based upon player feedback.

Additionally, the release of the Star Citizen – Alpha 3.12: Assault on Stanton update enables the highly anticipated server-wide Dynamic Events to take place in the ‘verse. Launched and managed in-game by the Star Citizen gameplay team, each server-wide mission event can vary in subject matter, challenge, and duration. Information on the first such Dynamic Event will be made available in the near future.

“As we close out 2020, we’re excited to add more gameplay and spectacle to Star Citizen with the introduction of refinery decks, new gas cloud tech, and visual improvements to Hurston, Daymar, and microTech,” said Cloud Imperium co-founder and Star Citizen Creative Director Chris Roberts. “As the name implies, Alpha 3.12: Assault on Stanton also includes our first implementation of Dynamic Events, starting with an exciting server-wide scenario, pitting players against and alongside AI-controlled spacecraft and behemoth capital ships to defend Stanton system, as we continue in our goal to make Star Citizen a living universe. We’ll be turning on this first Dynamic Event over the holidays, and are planning more Dynamic Events in space and on planets in the year ahead.”

In addition to the exciting new dynamic event technology, Star Citizen pilots can also look forward to new content and further system improvements with the Star Citizen – Alpha 3.12: Assault on Stanton update, including the following highlights: 

• Refinery Gameplay: Miners and Traders can look forward to a new gameplay loop, extending career paths while further rounding out both professions. Players may now visit refinery decks at select space stations in Stanton and refine raw materials into more valuable and high-quality materials.

• Improved AI and Capital Ship Security Response: Lawbreaking players that have ‘achieved’ the required CrimeStat will now have the UEE Navy to answer to, and it’s bringing the big guns. NPC weapon use and turret targeting have also been improved, making combat more realistic and engaging. Players are also receiving a combat boost thanks to torpedo and countermeasure reworks, making them more deadly and effective, respectively.

• Gas Clouds in Space: The first iterations of Star Citizen’s Gas Cloud Tech can be experienced in voluminous clouds, typically found near rest stops at Lagrange points throughout the ‘verse. These beautiful points-of-interest are a particularly effective hiding spot for ships of any size.

•  New Ships: Esperia Talon and the Shrike Variant: The Talon is the perfect example of Tevarin spaceship-building. Designed to emphasize speed and maneuverability, the Talon excels at striking first and striking hard.

• Tractor Beam for Multi-Tool: The new Tractor Beam attachment allows players to move objects, such as cargo. In zero gravity environments, the tractor beam also effectively works as a grappling hook to collect cargo, offering new and fun gameplay opportunities!

• Planetary Improvements: The frozen vistas of microTech, Hurston’s endless plains, and the rocky environs of Daymar now benefit from higher-quality environments, increased topological variety, and new flora ready to be discovered.

• Drake Dragonfly Referral Rewards: For a limited time starting with the release of Alpha 3.12, all backers will receive a free Drake Dragonfly Black loaner ship until Jan. 11, 2021. Furthermore, all players who refer new players into Star Citizen will keep their Dragonfly Black permanently with lifetime insurance included. The players referred into the game will also get to keep their Dragonfly Black with lifetime insurance!

• Tobii Eye Tracking Support: Take flying and dogfighting in Star Citizen to the next level with the advanced precision and speed of Tobii eye tracking hardware.

Prove your drifting skills in thrilling six player head-to-head multiplayer racing

Milan, Italy – 17th December, 2020 – Global publisher505 Games and developer ECC Games S.A. are excited to announce that after months of development and testing, the first version of the multiplayer mode will be available for DRIFT21 today. You’ve put in the hours, fine tuning your drifting skills on some of the most challenging drifting circuits available. Now it’s time to show the world what you’re made of as you take on other players from the drifting community in adrenaline fueled, six player multiplayer racing. 

The main goal of developers ECC Games S.A. while working on the multiplayer mode was to create a place where players have full control over their session and experience. To facilitate this the development team created a model in which the practice mode acts as a lobby where players can experience multiplayer for themselves. 

On these sessions, up to six players can move freely around the map, create tandems, racing to accumulate drifting points while engaging with other racers via text chat. For those who want to compete, there is an ‘events’ module where players can join a race with other players and go head-to-head in all out, multiplayer racing. For the duration of the event, those who do not wish to compete at that time will not see the other racers and vice versa and therefore not disturb their drifting session. In this first version of multiplayer mode, everyone will have access to a ‘free for all’ session where the whole course is at their disposal to compete on, with the winner being the one who scores the most drift points within the set time limit. 

Hosts of multiplayer events will have full control over the session and have access to several commands which allow, among other things, to: 

• Voting or forcing a map change
• Voting or forcing the removal of a player
• Displaying and pinning messages
• Resetting player’s position
• Turning collision on or off
• Hiding messages from individual/all players

ECC Games S.A. is still working on the multiplayer mode of DRIFT21 and this first release is just the start of bigger things to come. The team constantly evaluates player feedback and makes changes to enrich the gameplay experience. Currently, they are working on optimising the performance of the multiplayer mode as well as implementing a proper spectator mode. Expect new event types to be added and the chance for players to use their own garage-tuned cars. 

DRIFT21 is available to purchase on the Steam Early Access program now for $24.99/£22.49/€24.99.
