The new patch focuses on “bug fixes, balance updates and smaller additions to the game,” which itself isn’t the full version of Star Citizen, which remains a ways away from release.
The update fixes lobby kicking, missing glass in the Herald’s space globe’s cockpit, and extensive expansions to the game’s skin system.
