    Greetings Citizens,



    Arena Commander 1.0.2 is now available via the Star Citizen launcher! This is a smaller patch which focuses on bug fixes, balance updates and smaller additions to the game. Fixes include everything from lobby kicking issues to the missing glass in the Herald space globe’s cockpit!



    One of the most visible additions will be the expansion of the skin system to the Aurora line. You can now select your Aurora’s skin in the holoviewer (two alternates are available now, with more to come!)



    Arena Commander 1.0.2 also sets the stage for the shield customization system. Additional shield generators will be available in the Voyager Direct store tomorrow, along with a post detailing our design plans for shields going forward.



    A complete list of additions, fixes and known issues is available in the patch notes:
