Star Citizen has received a new Alpha update titled 3.20.0a. The game, known for its meticulous attention to detail and continuously expanding universe, has yet again marked a significant update with Patch 3.20.0a. With this, players can anticipate a rectification of known glitches and a slew of enhancements designed to make their interstellar journey smoother.
Players will be greeted with a fresh start, as there’s been a short-term database reset. Though this might lead to the loss of items not stored in Long Term Persistence (LTP), it’s a necessary measure to keep the game running smoothly. The activation of LTP is a welcome addition, ensuring that items will be preserved over the long term. As a cushion to this reset, players will embark on their new journey with a nest egg of 20,000 aUEC to get things off on the right foot.
