Cloud Imperium has announced the release of Star Citizen Alpha 3.10: Flight & Fight. According to the team, this new alpha introduces an array of new and improved gameplay mechanics, combat tools, vehicles, planet tech improvements, and more.
With the launch of the Star Citizen Alpha 3.10: Flight & Fight update, players can look forward to more expanded experiences and deeper immersion. With new dynamic flight systems in place to enable thruster efficiency curves, aerodynamic ship surfaces, and jerk customized to every ship in the game, pilots should expect each ship in Star Citizen to behave differently and with much more individual character. Pilots will feel the difference and the g-force when flying through the atmosphere of a planet compared to battles in space. In short, flying in Star Citizen has never felt more realistic. These new dynamic flight systems are supplemented by major enhancements to fixed weapons and turret systems to make dogfighting and space combat more thrilling. For full details and patch notes covering the Star Citizen — Alpha 3.10: Flight & Fight update, please head here.
Cloud Imperium Games CEO and Star Citizen creative director Chris Roberts said:
“Today’s launch of the Alpha 3.10: Flight & Fight Update marks a significant step towards our final vision for Star Citizen. The enhancements to flight and combat systems are just the beginning of the continued overhaul we intend to iterate over time with the help of our community and represents our continued commitment to deliver meaningful updates that improve the Star Citizen experience.”
Star Citizen Alpha 3.10 Key Features
- Dynamic Flight Mechanics. Flight mechanics have taken a significant step forward and now account for thruster efficiency curves, simulated wind effects on aerodynamic surfaces, and jerk (speed of ship acceleration). Piloting a speedy fighter-class ship with streamlined wings in atmosphere will now feel noticeably different to landing a large cargo-class ship. With these Alpha 3.10 enhancements, every single ship in Star Citizen (over 100 and counting) feels unique while flying within a planetary atmosphere.
- Ship Combat Improvements. High-speed space combat sees updates to the use of turrets and fixed weapons, gunnery improvements, and targeting methodology, bringing dogfighting and large-scale ship battles more in line with the visceral combat envisioned for Star Citizen. Targeting systems now reward pilots with faster missile lock-ons and firing solutions when flying at slower speeds. By introducing a strategic offensive advantage at lower speeds and disadvantage at higher speeds, ship-to-ship combat is now more engaging, realistic, and cinematic. Manned turrets also receive a major UI overhaul and a new target lock-on system to improve accuracy and coordination between the gunner and pilot as Star Citizen moves towards the goal of a full multi-crew, group play experience.
- Electron Weaponry. Joining energy and ballistic weaponry is a brand-new and shockingly deadly weapon type. Pilots can look forward to adding the Atzkav Sniper Rifle and Yubarev Energy Pistol to their arsenal, the first two Electron weapons from manufacturer The Lightning Company to join the verse.
- Player Trading App. Building on the Unified Friends List system introduced in the Star Citizen — Alpha 3.9 Locked Up & Loaded update, the Player Trading App allows pilots to transfer in-game funds directly to other players, laying the groundwork for more complex trading and asset management features down the road – and a more robust player-driven economy in the universe of Star Citizen.
- New Vehicle – ROC. The all-new ROC (Remote Ore Collector) Vehicle from manufacturer Greycat Industrial rounds out the mining career loop in Star Citizen, providing miners with an entry-level vehicle designed to prospect for a new size of mineable mineral. Designed to be as hard-working and versatile as the miners who use it, the ROC is small enough to access hard-to-reach ore deposits, but powerful enough to get through the tough jobs.
- Upgraded Ships. Two existing ships also see significant upgrades. The Origin M50 – a ship built around pure speed – features cockpit improvements that offer pilots a more open and unobstructed view with dramatic improvements to interior visuals and ship controls. Meanwhile, pilots looking to invest in a nimble fighter that doesn’t sacrifice firepower for maneuverability, should look no further than the Khartu-al X’ian scout ship, which receives a reinforced hull, upgraded weapons, and enhanced maneuverability.
- Technology Improvements. Alpha 3.10 also sees enhancements to a number of Star Citizen’s core technologies, including ocean improvements, dynamic lighting for day and night, and an initial implementation of body dragging, a foundational step for future gameplay around bounty hunting, medical, and stealth.
- New Babbage Grand Opening. The New Babbage grand opening begins today! First introduced in the Star Citizen — Alpha 3.9: Locked Up & Loaded update, the landing zone and trading hub on microTech is now open for business with new wares for sale, including adorable Pico the Penguin collectible plushies. Don’t want to leave your penguin pal in-game? Players can also grab a real-life Pico the Penguin Plushie from the official Roberts Space Industries merchandise page to celebrate the icy world of microTech and the launch of the Star Citizen — Alpha 3.10: Flight & Fight update.

yes i remember them
As usual, naysayers/haters are always first… 🙂 That say a lot about their dedication.
Haters gonna hate. So let’s them coming. Just wondering how they are going to write scam after SQ42 release . Oh and the inevitable “jokes: In 2050…my grandchild will… we will fly to Andromeda before…
You are welcome 🙂
You really should wait until such “game” is released, otherwise you’re playing yourself here.
Everyone now can how stupid you are. And I say congrats cause you worked hard for that.
Everyone are… an handful of guys throwing comments like vaporware, scam or ponzi, three words which have already non sense back in 2016.
I look forward to SQ42 release not because I want it to play like all backers, when finished not because some finance guy decided so because a date, but to read yours comments about those three words. How are you going to spell scam with a released product Lol
I look forward to SQ42 release as well, remember how you promised me I’d be playing it by now?
When fully finished. In the meantime feel free to play anything else if you can’t stand alpha.
alpha….after all of this years
always..
90% of the gameplay in that trailer literally never happens in the game unless it’s all set up between a couple of people. 😀 Talk about dishonest marketing.
Just False and misleading. All features are valid for both solo and coop gameplay, depending of course on ship characteristics.
There are solo ships with turret, flight model change apply to all gameplay, all locations are reachable to everyone.
This apply to each topics listed in video:
– Flight to fight
– Enhanced dogfigthing
– Complete turret control
– Atmospheric flight effects
– Shocking new weapons
– New and improved vehicules
– Alpha 3.10 available now
Talk about dishonest comment 🙂
A dishonest comment would be like the one you did over at wccf, saying that buying ships for thousands of real life bucks is not pay to win. THAT is dishonest.
This point have been discuss numerous time.
SC is as fair as any MMO with player having quarters or even years of experience and assets versus new comers.
MMO is about socializing and coop not about killing noobs because you can do it.
SC is indeed more fair that others MMO’s because 9 out 10 players will be NPC’s (good luck saying NPC’s are P2W) and SC allow those with deep pocket but no time to contribute more to a crowdfunded model while guys with time but no cash can play as crew members much bigger ships or play like any MMO: grind your style with in game credits.
Pleding huge ships won’t make a whale invincible. Without crew he is doomed versus a few starter package ships players pending a few days to upgrade their assets.
Dishonest? your opinion. I call it fair deal.
Oh I’m not calling the “buy ships for cash” deal dishonest, if anything it’s admirably up front about how pay to win it is. What’s dishonest is you and your fake sales pitch.
You fundamentally misunderstand what P2W means.
Yes I know. Naysayers/haters do understand everything… others are cultist.
It does not matter if you don’t like my answer. More backers joining every day… even during a so called this roadmap to roadmap “drama”… Which is basically merging two roadmaps into one.
And if you think people join because of my comments, you are fundamentally out of reality 🙂
even during a so called this roadmap to roadmap “drama”… Which is basically merging two roadmaps into one.
Impressive mental gymnastics, but no, this is just another obvious example of mismanagement.
Sure. That’s explain why ten thousands new backers join at every patch/free week because they can have in a released triple-A what SC offer in Alpha… or not 🙂
Two comments in a row, whatabouting to other topics twice in a row. If you’re not gonna bother replying on the topic, don’t bother replying anymore.
Pay to win means spending real life money for a gameplay advantage. Buying ships is 100% that and no amount of meatshielding, whatabouting, deflecting, … can change that fact.
LOL… say the guy who left 7 comments and keep going. I will comment as long as I decide so.
Your explanation means you don’t know how SC economy is working nor how it is financed or why buying expensive ship with $ won’t give you any advantage beside a few weeks (not even months) and only with a full crewed with competent players.
That are facts. Now go pretend it have any influence on an MMO which is by definition offering gameplay for many years. If there is an MMO where cash won’t make you drive the game it is Star Citizen.
Send me a video of you and your friends doing that.
Youtube is your friend… not me 🙂
If only you played the game rather that copying/pasting false statement you would know the video is accurate.
Send me a video of you doing things like what was shown in the trailer. Combat in space that leasds to combat on the planet that leads to fps combat on ground
CIG do offer several free weeks per year to everyone. Try by yourself, that is the reason why 10 thousands new backers are joining at every patch/free weeks.
Contrary to pure commercial video for ships made by CIG including many assets developed by CIG but not integrated yet in SC, this Flight to Fight video is purely based on real gameplay footage done in 3.10.
There are plenty of video on internet done by Orgs, including quantum
jump of ten’s ships, followed by ground combat during day or night.
Proove me wrong. Send me a video of yourself doing that in game in 3.10.
I’ve giving you an opportunity to proove me wrong. Come on. Four pleople in combat in space that leads to combat on planet that leads to combat on the surface.
Keep trolling. I am not your buddy. You are already proven wrong since years lol.
There are plenty of videos on internet done by Orgs, including quantum jump of ten’s ships, followed by ground combat during day or night.
Man, go die in a ditch with this pos joke of a game. if you indeed are working for them, you should focus on actually doing your job better, istead of raging at whoever sees this as the scam of the centurry that it proves to be! if not, get your brain checked! Eyes too… cause unless they change engine in a year or two, which I doubt, this looks and plays mediocre at best…
Those raging are the ones saying scam/ponzi, two words which have zero meaning in this context… or asking other to go die… so much rage LOL
… and you sounds like a good candidate too with another prediction, which have non sense as well. No they won’t change their engine… as they never change it. Cry engine have been replaced by Lumberyard which is 100% fork of cry engine and changed it so much that they call it Space Engine.
Second the ones saying SC is going to look mediocre in few years have nothing to backup their remark. Without surprise, the same shooting scam (what a surprise) 🙂
Any backer playing acknowledge SC is good to gorgeous… it improves even more in 3.10 with height map and close to no clipping at surface… and this is just Alpha.
Send me a video of you doing all that stuff that was shown in a trailer.
Keep trolling.
You are already proven wrong since years lol.
There are plenty of videos on internet done by Orgs, including quantum jump of ten’s ships, followed by ground combat during day or night.
Proove me wrong come on.
Send me a video of you doing all that stuff in the trailer with a couple of friends.
Haters gonna hate… Troll gonna troll 🙂
You can’t do it can you. You can’t show me that video because it would look really bad.
Show me a video. Proove me wrong.
Second rules: don’t feed the troll.
Any readers now have Shear flagged as troll. That was the goal.
For proof, multiple YouTube videos do already have that stuff since years… you trapped yourself boy 🙂
Send me these videos mate. I am giving you an opportunity to proove me wrong and show me how all that stuff in the trailer is part of every day normal gameplay in the game. Instead of doing that you’re calling me a troll even though the only one who appears as a troll is you.
Don’t even bother to answer to this guy. It took me less than 30 seconds to find several videos with Org fighting in space, over moons then on ground, attacking a bunker from a Walkyrie ship with another team fighting in and out of bunker.
One word: stunning!
Send me the video that has fighting in space that goes onto the planet and then eventually on the ground. No cuts. Show me.
Squadron 42…..Code name? The Scamsters….even Elite Dangerous is
moving along…and that game is constantly being developed on, talking
about good plan and dev. management, SC is just a disaster after disaster, way too much money in the hands of stupid people
As an ED backer with life free update, ED is going to get space leg in a year… and that’s it… oh at the cost of losing what make ED interesting for many: 3d device won’t work anymore.
in 2020 ED got great update: a cruiser made of PlayStation 2 skins with no UI, no even specific space jump effect, with no interest for 99% of ED players.
By the way, I encourage everyone to find the space game providing the experience they are looking for. For some it is NMS, ED or EVE… and SC in its current alpha state, because space games are not competitors but complementary.
This bot here defending the scam again?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It would be a shame if this thing was an actual person with some organic brain to use.
Haters gonna hate. Keep coming 🙂
Guys just you wait. One of these decades it will go into beta for sure. But right now enjoy your “improvements” to “gameplay” “mechanics”. Because that’s all you will get this year.
They have a roadmap for the roadmap of the roadmap to the beta, but that roadmap is currently in a pre-alpha state.

Whatever you want: +1.2 million backers and growing by ten thousands at every patch not because they are tacking care about some guys mocking something as simple as merging two roadmaps in one but because they don’t find in released triple-A product done by multi-billion $companies what theu got in SC Alpha.
That say a lot about how valid are web comment section and reality 🙂
this scam still going on lol
announced during ps3 era now ps5 is going to be released before this game is out.. ? i just dont get it how people are still funding this game..
This “game” is a joke at this point, or just scam to be precise. The worst 60 bucks I spent on a game, back in 2012 or 2013, I don’t even remember when. Even if gets to release some day, it already looks out of date.
The best 45$ I pledged in my +decades of PC game player. Current Alpha pack more features than any released triple-A around… and keep improving at every patch.
For those never joining any crowdfunded project or alpha, just wait on the fence until it reach yours expectation: specific gameplay, beta or even release. No problem
Note: I love such sentence: “it already looks out of date”. the trailer is made with in game footage, not a false representation based on tweaked game engine. It looks totally outdated for sure, everyone can see it 🙂
Good luck with your waiting!
Did you pledge, really? On other sites you’re claiming to be a project manager at CIG.
Which is it?
Cant’ you be a backer (of any crowdfunded project) and have a pro life? Also I never said I work for CIG or even affiliate.
…usual Xolo interpretation of reality lol
Not my interpretation. You claimed this yourself, and flagged my comments that pointed it out.
So you are now switching to pure lie? I never said I was working for CIG. Easy to prove, it was a none edited comment. Prove I am wrong lol
a bunch of microtransaction ships in an empty lifeless world certainly beats any triple-A.
Guess why +1.2 million backers joined and 10 thousands more at each patch or free for all weeks per year? because they are brainwashed by your comments? 🙂
Warframe do a good job at being an actual game.
While this scam is on Alpha for like, 8 years?
LOL
As I always said, play what you want, including others space games like NMS, ED, EVE ift hey match your style or just want to change of others experience.
I don’t play Warframe even for free. I do play ED, indeed less than SC in Alpha.
Worst scam ever Stub 🙂
start to dig in your three words dictionary to find another word because it is not about SQ42 being released but when Beta is starting 🙂
weird, how come this game still into alpha version for a very long long time ??
Because Chris Roberts.
Look what the bot @Joe_Blober:disqus said:
“and SC in its current alpha state, because space games are not competitors but complementary.”
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Low trolling is low, whatever the number of capital letter used 🙂
To hell with this scam.
