Star Citizen patch 3.12 is coming along nicely. Most recent patch notes indicate few major bugs. The devs are most likely trying to get it all done before the Xmas break.
This latest image of the 400i is probably from CIG, but its old concept art rather than what the 400i will be. The sizing is way too small for what the ship is supposed to be able to do.
Star Citizen patch 3.12 will be bringing with it some new gameplay features. You will be able to manipulate objects less than 250kg with your multitool tractor beam. This will eventually lead to ship sized tractor beams for salvage game loops.
