News broke on the official forums yesterday morning that Star Citizen's 1.1.1 update was now available on the public test universe. You can access the full patch notes here (you'll need an account to login) with the highlights consisting of the following:

  • Gladiator is Flight Ready
  • Gunner Seat Functionality in Free Flight for the Gladiator, the Super Hornet, and the Cutlass Black
  • Sledge II game balancing
  • Players can now solve issues where their characters get stuck by opening the console (~), typing in stuck, and hitting enter to respawn the character
  • Pilots with lower score relative to the average contribute less to the REC pool
  • Various bug fixes, including for the first of many client optimizations and assorted fixes for client crashes
  • Updates to game server stuck states and fixed an issue where Matchmaking would match more clients into a game mode than the instance allows
  • Fixed an issue where the game may crash when loading into a Multiplayer Game Mode

Some of the first screenshots from the update, I have to say, are absolutely breathtaking. One album provided by Reddit user Proxus-G shows off the Gladiator and it's unquestionably a thing of beauty. If Star Citizen does anything well, it's designing ships that look awesome. If you spot any bugs from this patch, you can also report them here.
