Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 is available
Some news for Star Citizen backers as Alpha 3.0 is currently available on the Public Test Server to everyone. This basically means that everyone who has backed up this project will be able to test the alpha 3.0 version of the game.
Cloud Imperium initially released Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 to all Evocati Test Flight volunteer members back in October. And after two and a half months, the team decided to open its gates to all backers. Star Citizen Alpha 3.0 features planetary landings, persistent universe content, a new back-end item system, implementation of commodities, trading, automated cargo buy/sell kiosks, and, indirectly, piracy, as well as network improvements and user interface enhancements. You can download the latest Star Citizen launcher from here. PC gamers will also have to copy their account to PTU (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/copy/ptu). After doing that, backers will get their temporary PTU password delivered in email.

Does anybody know if the game still runs bad?
Don't want to waste time downloading if low 30fps is all it does lol
Il is still quite bad. I have a core i7 8700k with gtx 1080ti and 32 gig of ram ... running at 30-40 fps. A real mess.

That Squadron 42 footage was awesome. It's basically my dream come true. Their tech is groundbreaking.

I have been saying, for years now, that this is nothing more than a well hidden Ponzi scheme. Bernie is saying DAYAMNNNN from his jail cell. Yet to prove me wrong. This feeble attempt to bamboozle you into thinking they are one step closer to "getting there" is worse than ever. Lag, random stoppages, freezing, walking through ships walls, etc, etc, etc, etc. Don't bother it's a mess and that is being kind. If this was a money fund the Feds would have indicted Chris Roberts and his cronies long ago. ANY money invested in this farce is money wasted. HO HO HO Chris Roberts needs to go!

How can this be Ponzi scheme and PUBG isn't? PUBG raised far more money, yet what's done can easily be made for just 1 mln.

Roadmap is pretty much known
3.0 = planetary tech, a lot of gameplay features and many new ships, that are fully interactive, unlike Elite or Eve.
https://starcitizen.tools/Star-Citizen-Alpha-3.0.0
3.1 = procedural cities and ArcCorp planet, further gameplay feature merge and many new ships.
https://starcitizen.tools/Star-Citizen-Alpha-3.1.0
3.1 was already previewed.
3.2 = Hurston and Crusader planets, further gameplay feature merge and some more ship variations
https://starcitizen.tools/Star-Citizen-Alpha-3.2.0
3.3 = Microtech planet, further gameplay feature merge and a bunch of very large ships
https://starcitizen.tools/Star-Citizen-Alpha-3.3.0
By 4.0 most features would be in game. With 4.0 they add warmholls and start adding more planetary systems. By release there would be 5 to 10 of them.

There is never could be ETA on software development. But I wouldn't expect 3.3 earlier of next CitizenCon, 4.0 earlier of mid 2019 and release earlier of 2022.
But again, this game is completely different from what was under development in 2012. Back then it was an analog of Elite. By now it's far more feature-rich than long time released empty Elite that is still being improved with paid DLCs.

Don't except high performance yet. Netcode is still bottleneck.
