This time around we get to see an extensive look at the grenade launcher that will be added in update 3.11, bringing just another way to approach combat in the game’s growing universe.

The video also showcases lighting and particle improvements, the progress on cargo docks, work done on liveries, improvement made to planetary surface, and work-in-progress docking arms, which will be required to introduce flyable capital-size ships to the game.

You can enjoy it below.

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total is currently at $312,048,683 at the moment of this writing, well over $312 million.

The number of registered accounts is now well over 2.7 million (currently 2,764,492).

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.

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