Star Citizen: Arena Commander - 12.3 i zaproszenia do MP

Wraz z kolejną falą zaproszeń do trybu multiplayer w Arena Commanderze został niedawno udostępniony nowy patch zmieniający wersję pre-alpha na 12.3.

Dodatkowo włączono dostęp do multiplayera kontom do nr 20 000. Jeśli wcześnie wsparliście Star Citizena to sprawdźcie czy będziecie już dziś mogli smażyć innych obywateli zamiast Vanduuli!
