Star Citizen Alpha 3.2 Loaner Rules

Backers who own ships not available in the PU (Persistent Universe) will receive respective loaner ships until those ship become "Flight Ready."

  • Loaner ships are not replacement ships. They are not intended to provide a 1:1 "best case substitute" for a ship that isn't flight ready yet.
  • Due to the current restrictions in Arena Commander, certain ships have a secondary loaner to allow them to play in all game modes i.e. the Freelancer MAX gets a Freelancer for PU and a Hornet for AC.
  • As new ships become available the loaners can be substituted by CIG.
  • Loaners are not permanent additions to players accounts. They are temporary until ships become flight ready.

Alpha 3.2 Notable Ship Matrix Changes

3.2 turned out to be a more interesting patch than we previously thought. Although pretty much the only major gameplay feature to be added, lots of enhancements to performance and the other features make for a much more enjoyable experience. Also the better frames in PTU have somewhat made it to the live servers, which makes a difference from previous patches where performance at live was worse.

Some of the notable changes are:

  • Orion now gets a Prospector loaner instead of a Reclaimer
  • Vulture loaner is the Prospector
  • 890 Jump gets 600i loaner
  • Apollo (New) gets Constellation Andromeda loaner

Why Do I have An Aurora MR in My Ship List?

If you never purchased an Aurora MR you might have it in the Persistent Universe as a loaner to another ship. For example, all Mustang Alpha owners have temporarily been given an Aurora MR loaner due to the current technical issues making the Mustang Alpha almost unusable in the Persistent Universe.

Why Do I have A Hornet F7-A In My Ship List?

Some ships (like the Reclaimer) receive an Aurora MR and Hornet as loaner ships both in the PU and Arena Commander.
