Recently, the Alpha 4.1 patch was released for the space Star Citizen, which made a number of significant changes, including the appearance of the first alien NPC. He was a merchant named Wikelo, owned by Banu race. These representatives of extraterrestrial civilization specialize in trade, and Wikelo himself decided to settle next to people to offer them various goods.
The developers describe Banu as “golden cosmos retrievers” – they seek to seem harmless and friendly until it is beneficial for them. Wikelo performs the function of a kind of quest NPC, which exchanges the resources obtained by players for equipment, weapons and even rare spaceships. Its assortment has such models as Polaris, F8C Military and Scorpius Military, as well as exclusive weapons and armor. Some objects are available exclusively with him, which makes the merchant an important figure in the game world.
In addition, the Alpha 4.1 patch increased the emphasis on resource production. According to the plot of the update, in the game world there was a failure in regen technology, which ensured immortality. This led to the active development of research and an increase in demand for rare materials, as a result of which mining zones appeared on the planets of Aberdeen and Daymar. The developers also released a new starting mining vessel worth $ 60.
