In the latest video, Ryan, also known as Mac, announces the launch of Star Citizen Alpha 3.24, expressing his excitement about the new patch. He extends gratitude to his patrons and channel members for their support and mentions a promotional discount on the Toby Eye Tracker 5, encouraging viewers to take advantage of the deal. The video highlights a teaser in the release trailer for an EXO-style vehicle, which Ryan speculates could be used for cargo handling, stirring anticipation for potential future reveals at CitizenCon.
The new Alpha 3.24 patch introduces a variety of features, including personal and instance hangars, hangar decorations, and a significant number of cargo hauling missions. Ryan notes improvements to tractor beam functionality, allowing for better control when moving boxes, and mentions new limits on the multitool to enhance gameplay. Additional changes include options for box sizes when purchasing commodities and new legal updates regarding vehicle towing, which aim to reduce crime stat penalties for players.
Ryan expresses his enthusiasm for the localization of player inventories within ships. This feature allows players to access internal storage areas of abandoned or owned ships, creating opportunities for scavenging and enhancing the organic gameplay experience. While some ships are still lacking storage capabilities, he remains hopeful that future patches will continue to roll out these features across all ships.
The video also covers other updates, such as improved skybox lighting, new forward operating base locations, and the removal of distracting ship lighting. Ryan shares his personal experience with the patch, reporting smooth performance and stability during his initial three hours of gameplay, despite some players encountering issues accessing their ships. He acknowledges that the wider release of the patch may highlight new bugs and states that the developers are working on hotfixes to address these problems.
Finally, Ryan mentions his plans to start a new off-grid Zero to Hero series on the planet Hurston, focusing on looting and selling items. He invites viewers to join him on Twitch for a live session where he will continue this gameplay. Encouraging viewers to subscribe and support his channel, Ryan emphasizes the importance of community engagement and expresses his gratitude to his supporters, closing the video with a promise to keep them updated on his adventures in Star Citizen.
