Trying out some multiplayer Vanduul Swarm in Star Citizen for the first time since the new 1.0.3 (I think) patch. This is being played on max graphics, and I'm exporting this as a 60fps video (even though I occasionally got some fps drops during this gameplay) in 1080p. With this latest patch, this is the by far the most fun I've had in Star Citizen so far.

Star Citizen will consist of two main components: first-person space combat, first-person shooter elements and trading in a massively multiplayer persistent universe and customizable private servers, and a branching single-player and drop-in co-operative multiplayer campaign (titled Squadron 42). The game is built on a modified CryEngine and will feature Oculus Rift support. Both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are set in a 30th-century Milky Way centered around the fictional UEE (United Empire of Earth), an analogue of the late Roman Empire. A central theme of the game is citizenship (or lack thereof) in the UEE, which must be earned through player actions (such as completing a period of military service). It is anticipated that Citizens will enjoy certain in-game benefits, for example paying a reduced tax rate or having easier access to interspecies trade, but the exact details are yet to be determined. A strong focus will be placed on player interaction, with player behaviour influencing and being influenced by a dynamic economy system. Star Citizen is currently being developed by Chris Roberts' Cloud Imperium Games, founded in 2011. Roberts' previous works include games such as Wing Commander, Wing Commander: Privateer, Starlancer and Freelancer. You wake up... The hum of the fusion drive reverberates through the ship's hull. It reminds you that you should probably replace it soon. A quick check on the MobiGlas says there's an Aegis showroom on the planet you're heading to. Couldn't hurt to see what they got, right? With the Credits you make delivering this cargo, you should be able to buy your ship a little treat. Besides, she's your bread and butter. You roll on your side and look out the window at the vast yawning space outside. A distant planet silently orbits a dying sun. Your boards light up... Contact. You kick off the berth and slide into the pilot seat, taking the ship off Auto as you do. Correction, three contacts, pretty far out. Vanduul never raid this far into the Empire... your heart sinks as you mutter to yourself: "Pirates." You keep bearing and speed, keep shields at current levels. Don't do anything to make them think you're itching to fight. You never know, they might just pass on by. You can't tell what pack they belong to. You've run across pirates in the past, even done business with a few, maybe you'll get lucky... Nope... The three flash their engines and turn to engage you. You charge your shields up full and heat up your guns. You swear to yourself, if you make it through this, to hell with living on the straight and narrow. Times are too tight. You can't afford to keep losing loads. It keeps going like this, you might have to become a pirate tomorrow. The pirates fan out in an attack formation... but first, you have to make it through today. Welcome to Star Citizen. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/
