Star Citizen Patch 3.0.0d

Star Citizen Patch 3.0.0d


Key Game-play How Tos:

Stage 2 Afterburner: We have now implemented a stage 2 afterburner designed to cover distances with greater rapidity and adjusted the normal afterburner. Old Afterburner speeds have been reduced and you cannot lock afterburner on anymore. While at max afterburner speeds, hold the afterburner key at full speed and after 3 seconds you will accelerate into stage 2 speeds. You must be traveling in a straight forward line for it to activate. You can release the controls in this mode and you will maintain full speed. Attempting to reducing speed or trying to move will cause you to decelerate to slower speeds. First implementation, not in finished state
