Alpha Patch 4.02 has now been released onto the LIVE Environment! Launcher should now show: VERSION 4.0-LIVE.9589006.


Build Info
Characters in this new environment have been built from Long Term Persistence(LTP) data.

Currently with LTP, certain player states such as personal hangar layout, custom characters, in-progress refinery jobs, and in-game purchased consumables are not saved between releases which will cause some items to be lost in the update.
