This patch also includes updates to Arena Commander and to Cloud and Water tech for more realistic environments than ever before.
Take care when exploring planetside; the kopion hound and marok bird now roam the ‘verse. While the marok will leave you alone, the kopion is a finely honed pack hunter, so tread carefully! This first iteration enables further fauna in the game, more of which will be added in coming patches.
Explore sprawling new industrial locations dotted around Stanton, each with fresh content and missions to discover. These Distribution Centers are owned by one of the ‘verse’s mega-corps, including Covalex Shipping and Sakura Sun, so each imposing structure features a unique layout, bespoke architecture, and well-paying opportunities for enterprising citizens.
Updates to the DNA tech behind the Character Creator give players more freedom than ever before to generate their perfect in-game avatar. New faces, hairstyles, and hair colors open up countless character combinations to ensure every player can be who they want to be.
Master Modes is a major change to dogfighting that brings ships closer during combat. Alongside more intense skirmishes, it moves ships closer to their intended role. For example, light fighters can better utilize their increased maneuverability to avoid heavy attacks, while gunships should rely on their overwhelming firepower and high defense.
Getting around the ‘verse has never been more intuitive. Refined character movement makes traveling on foot easier, while floating through space is much more precise thanks to vastly improved EVA.
How players interact with the game world is now easier thanks to vastly improved UI and interactions. This much-anticipated rework includes how players navigate the mobiGlas, plan routes with the StarMap, use items, loot containers and enemies, and more.

Alpha 3.22: Wrecks to Riches was released on December 14, 2023, and introduced the latest addition to the salvage career: Structural Salvage. After you've finished hull scraping and gathering any valuables, components, or cargo off of the derelict you're salvaging, it's time to break the vehicle apart!

Alpha 3.21: Mission Ready was released on October 19, 2023, and introduced brand new missions, new points of interest to the gas giant Crusader, gameplay and quality-of-life updates, and another step towards a server-meshed universe. Ready up for some exciting new escapades, and remember, you don't always have to be good; you just have to be good at it.
This all-new mission tasks players with stealing key evidence from Security Post Kareah, a simple concept but a challenge for even the most seasoned outlaw. Only those deemed worthy by Twitch will have a chance to trigger this mission, but be warned: you snooze, you lose, as the target evidence could already be in the hands of another player. How far will you go for the hefty payout?
In this new mission type, you are challenged to head over to Underground Facilities to locate and retrieve critical items in consignment lists. It matters not whether you're the type to toe the line or if you like taking a walk on the wild side; you'll need nerves of steel to emerge unscathed from these buried bunkers. If you do, expect to be handsomely rewarded for your troubles. If one or two other leftover items happen to mysteriously make their way into your inventory, we're sure no one would bat an eye.
Whether you choose the lawful or unlawful path, this mission will put your defensive and strategic skills to the test! Your objective is to infiltrate hostile locations and hack servers to either recover or steal data. Access the main terminal via hacking or use the technician's ID chip found somewhere in the facility to initiate an uplink and transfer data to your handler. But be warned, the mission can quickly take a turn for the worse; it's your responsibility to keep the servers safe (and from overheating!) until enough data has been uploaded.
Alpha 3.21 added vehicle tractor beams, which allow players to move and tow bigger objects, including other ships. This update adds pilot and remote-turret-controlled tractor beams to ships that support them.
This update removes the warning that notifies players of a new presence on-board a ship, making it more difficult to detect stowaways. But be warned, the interiors of players' ships are now considered trespass zones for those without permission to enter. Anyone boarding a ship without permission will be issued a Trespass Warning and can be legally attacked (even with lethal force) by law-abiding vehicle owners and their party. Tread carefully!
Crusader’s breathtaking city in the clouds is under attack once again. New platforms across the gas giant Crusader enable multiple instances of the mission to be run simultaneously, meaning players can undertake the challenging Platform Assault at any time.
The New Player Experience mission is now available in microTech’s high-tech city, New Babbage. This update includes many changes to make the mission flow better as well as the addition of shops, more location signs, and a full lighting polish pass to the whole landing zone.

Salvage Resource Rush is a new mission where a faction or mission giver requests the scrapping of a derelict in their possession, either on the ground at a junkyard or in space in a debris field.
Thanks to several mission variants, it offers both lawful and outlaw players new opportunities to earn credits from the Salvage career.
With Alpha 3.19, the Lorville skyline has undergone a significant overhaul to enhance the city’s scale and distinctive buildings. The goal for the revamp was to create a new visual identity for the city skyline with high and low-end neighborhoods, improve branding, and add landing-zone signage.
For Alpha 3.19, mining has been updated to reward players who make the right strategic decisions before their excursion and equip and plan ahead accordingly.
With updates to tools, ore deposits, refining, and selling, miners must now travel the system to get the best return on investment and embrace the added risks and rewards that may bring.

Furthermore, it allows adrenaline junkies to test their skills in time-trial race missions across Stanton.
All ships were also updated to support "soft death.” From here, ships won't always be destroyed upon death, leaving their hulls salvageable, the product of which can be sold for profit.
Alpha 3.18 implements the first iteration of Salvage into the Persistent Universe, where players can harvest Recycled Material Composite (RMC) from disabled ships. Hull scraping can be done by hand with the Greycat Multi-tool or via dedicated salvage ships like the Drake Vulture and Aegis Reclaimer. RMC can also be sold at commodity kiosks for profit. More details can be found in the Salvage & Repair guide.
The introduction of PES enabled the long-awaited refactoring of the ship cargo system, allowing both found and purchased cargo to be picked up, moved around, and placed into the cargo grid of a ship. It also makes piracy and rescue gameplay more lucrative, as boxes and crates now persist wherever they're dropped.
A derelict settlement on Daymar has sprung up around the wreckage of an Origin 600i and a Crusader Mercury. Not only is this a new explorable point of interest, but players can also earn rewards for completing new action-packed missions (puzzle, traversal, hostile A.I.) around the location.
One of Stanton’s classic locations has been given a makeover with new missions and gameplay vital to the security of the system.
The station is now protected by full-time Crusader Security who, alongside guarding the fabled CrimeStat terminal, have begun storing confiscated materials and contraband around the place.
