Cloud Imperium has released Star Citizen Alpha 3.3.5 to all backers. This new alpha version adds planet Hurston which is the first planetary location and as such is considerably larger than moons and has varied biomes. Additionally, players will find several outposts, labed HMC (Hurston Mining Centers) scattered about the surface.

Furthermore, version 3.3.5 adds new moons (Aberdeen, Magda, Arial, and Ita and populated them with a handful of outposts), seven additional rest stops a new major landing zone called Lorville. Lorville is a large city area and as such only has one legal area for landing and port entry. Space above residential and commercial areas are protected by a no-fly zone and players will be warned when they are entering that zone via HUD warnings, visual indicators, and increasing audio alerts. The city aksi has a bar with an interactive bartender and a personal equipment shop (Tammany and Sons) that includes an early implementation of the multi-tool.

Star Citizen Alpha 3.3.5 also updates some ship and vehicle headlights for better projection, fixes various crashes, corrects several ships that had the wrong sized quantum drives, addresses the single click firing issues that could cause some FPS weapons to skip recoil and more.

Star Citizen Alpha 3.3.5 will be auto-downloaded from its client the next time you launch it and you can find its complete changelog below.
