“This is New Babbage Flight Control. With immediate effect, we can confirm that microTech’s Interstellar Spaceport is open and granting clearance to land. However, conditions are still inclement and likely to worsen, so we request that all pilots take additional care when approaching and descending. Passengers are advised to prepare for extreme cold. With that said, we and everyone at New Babbage are delighted to welcome you to microTech!”

Locked Up & Loaded
Welcome to Star Citizen Alpha 3.9
Release Date: April 29, 2020
Doing Time
Prisons: Klescher Rehabilitation Facility
Destroyed an innocent freighter? Opened fire on a landing zone? Committed a minor parking infraction? There’s only one place for scum like you, and you’ll have work your way back into the UEE’s good graces. The all-new Klescher Rehabilitation Facility on Aberdeen, Hurston is a flawless instrument of justice. Just stay away from the ventilation ducts… there’s nothing for you down there.
Cold Calling
microTech: New Babbage
microTech’s exquisitely presented landing zone is finally open to the public. Although widely regarded as the ideal basecamp for explorers heading into the wilderness, this technology-driven super city is a destination itself thanks to ultra-modern architecture, exclusive shops, and luxury accommodations.
Better Together
Rework: Friends List
It’s easier than ever to crew-up thanks to a complete refactor of the Friends List. You can now see the status of your prospective cohorts and jump into their universe, or invite them to yours, without jumping through hoops. Whether you’re mining, pirating, exploring, or struggling to get off the ground, teaming up is little more than a click away.
One Giant Leap
microTech: Clio, Calliope, Euterpe
Desolate, dangerous, and… beautiful. The harshest climes in Stanton are awaiting new footprints, though only the hardiest explorers need apply. From the snowy serenity of Clio to the blistered peaks of Caliope, via the rocky tundra of Euterpe, there’s adventure to be had a short jump from New Babbage.
Secure Attachment
UI: Weapon Attachments
Lock and load! Switching out small arms attachments has never been easier. Simply use the dedicated Attachment Interface to switch between sights, scopes, silencers, and whatever else you need to keep the peace.
Adventure Time
Mission: Prisoner Transfer
Dispatch calling all available units - Code Four in Stanton. Pirates have captured a Drake Caterpillar transporting classified organic cargo. Be careful, we’ve had reports that they're heavily armed and extremely dangerous.
Among Us
New Ship: Esperia Prowler
This formidable dropship once struck fear into the hearts of UEE forces and Citizens alike… now you can too, thanks to Esperia! With high defense, low-signature components, and drop seats for 16 of your closest friends, the Prowler is the ideal way to move serious muscle across the universe. Plus, the unique Tevarin design looks like nothing else available anywhere on the Human market.
Status Quo
Player Status: Hot & Cold, Hunger & Thirst
The bitter weather of microTech can leave unprepared adventurers or hapless pilots frozen solid in minutes. Luckily, the mobiGlas now supports real-time body status readings. Now, you’ll know to take shelter when the weather gets too cold (or hot) to handle. And don’t forget to pack enough food and drink before heading out on an adventure to stave off hunger and dehydration.
Deep Thoughts
Personal Inventory & Inner Thought
Everyone in the ‘verse now has their very own inventory system to keep vital weapons, life-saving consumables, and ludicrous sunglasses handy at all times. Plus, it’s easier than ever to interact with the world and its inhabitants thanks to a rework of the Inner Thought system.
