With Alpha 3.5, the space online game Star Citizen introduces a new planet resembling Coruscant from Star Wars. It is a huge city where you can pick up quests among other things.
Which planet is coming into play? It is the world of ArcCorp, located in the Stanton system. Almost the entire surface is covered with buildings.
Star Citizen Wars
Why does the planet remind of Star Wars? The seat of government of the Republic in the prequels to Star Wars was located on the planet Coruscant. This planet is also completely covered by buildings – just like ArcCorp.
What does ArcCorp offer? The world is a hotspot for anyone looking to quickly get quests and buy new ships or better equip their spaceships. You will find many shops in Hub Area 18 and furthermore quest givers.
What else does the update offer? In addition to the possibility to now also create female characters, gravity will be introduced in atmospheric flight. This means that your spaceships will behave differently when approaching a planet once they enter the atmosphere.
As a result, you will have to act more cautiously during landings – especially with the numerous buildings of ArcCorp.
Additionally, a new control system for the ships will be integrated. With this, you should be able to steer even more accurately and precisely.
Alpha 3.5 Excites Fans
How are the players reacting? On the test server, Alpha 3.5 is already playable for some supporters.
Players are especially enthusiastic about the new planet. Zooming through the skyscrapers apparently is a lot of fun. In addition, players are exploring all angles of Area 18, as there are even some small alleys full of details.
The planet is not only compared to Coruscant from Star Wars, but even to the Blade Runner films, as the many high-rise buildings and neon advertisements evoke that futuristic feeling from the Hollywood flicks.
Overall, Alpha 3.5 is well received on the Star Citizen test server. When the alpha will be made available to everyone else is still unknown.
