(Citizen Star News) - 2014-08-06 - The day has finally come when a brand new backer can buy a package and an Arena Commander pass and start playing immediately. This is an important milestone in Star Citizen history. The servers are having a bit of trouble adjusting to the new load, but hopefully that will stabilize quickly. #yesallbackers
(Citizen Star News) - 2014-07-31 - Star Citizen Hangar/Arena Commander Patch 12.5 was released in the wee hours of this morning. Thanks and congrats to the engineers and dedicated folk at Cloud Imperium Games who worked hard to get this out. This has been pending for several weeks now as the pro bug smashers hunted down the issues that were occurring in multiplayer that caused a "rubber-banding" effect of your targets suddenly snapping into a different place as the server/client communication got confused or lagged. Significant re-work of the physics engine are reported to have been done.
