The video starts with a discussion on how testing on the PTU helped improve the recently-released update alpha 3.10, but then things get even more interesting with the Sprint Report section.

We get to see the upcoming cargo decks for stations that are coming in 3.11, the Gemini A03 ballistic sniper rifle, the Behring FS-9 light machine gun, the wear and tear visuals for guns, new lighting for Area 18, an update on fire propagation, updated grass, a look at the Origin 100i, a work-in-progress glimpse at the interior of the Crusader Hercules Starlifter with the wear and tear effect mentioned above added, and one at the Crusader Mercury Star Runner.

Interestingly, we also get to see a rather nasty-looking weapon likely of Vanduul origin created fro the single-player portion of the game Squadron 42.  

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total has passed $307 million.

To be more precise, it’s sitting on $307,528,770 at the moment of this writing., with over $500,000 made in the past day or so.

The number of registered accounts is now well over 2.7 million (currently 2,748,607).

As usual, it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including free fly events.

For the sake of full disclosure, the author of this article has been a Star Citizen backer since the original Kickstarter campaign several years ago, so you should keep that in mind while reading this article.

He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
