Patch notes:

Enabled new remote movement and new client authoritative position systems. With this update, players should see great improvements with on foot player positions and less jittery behavior while viewing remote player movements.

"Radiation resistant Fallout variant". They really are shameless.

Star Citizen, just like Cyberpunk 2077 on release day. But every day.

"A new suit for salvage, for when that day arrives"

I don't think day is the right word. Maybe decade?

Even with all those random in-game deaths and bugs, the Citizens keep joining

Not sure if there's a typo in the notes, or if things went wrong, but the evo notes talked about a new server authorative system:

Enabled new remote movement and new server authoritative position systems. With this update, players should see great improvements with on foot player positions and less jittery behavior while viewing remote player movements.

Either way, looking fantastic

Apparently the NPC improvements are also noticeable...

I mean typical for the faithful, not for all. I know there are sane backers out there.

True enough, but then I hear that many of them keep zombie cows as pets so, on balance, I'd say that the jury's still out.

Comments are split evenly between: 'Use light armour and the boxes you fool' and 'God this is comically bad'.

Next step, procedural birds...

This is the result of really, really bad code, and very deep issues with the game engine...

Good News:

The AI drop ships are looking smooth...

Bad News:

The AI...

When the AI refused to come out or do anything after 4 minutes Mike bravely rushed in.

Either the server is completely spanked, or they just couldn't figure out the ramp at all

I suspect they have figured out ramps, by watching players die repeatedly on them, and have decided they are to dangerous to use!

And no-one expected that? After all the fails previous to this one?

Someone needs to edit the video to have some gold rings they collect as they run up the ramp, with appropriate sound effects.

In other news, makes me happy we have jetpacks in ED.

I love how the ship just hangs in the air, exactly the way bricks don't.
