Star Citizen continues its controversial journey towards a possibly finished game, and now alpha version 3.17 has been released, along with the trailer below. This update offers a lot of news, and one of the main ones is that you can now refuel other ships. For example, if there is an extra intense battle, you can buy fuel from other players with tankers.

Another welcome news related to trade is that you can now sell the various items that you find in the universe, rather than just regular merchandise. This means, among other things, that you can sell defeated players weapons to get a little extra cash.

If you then want to take a breath of fresh air, the game's first river can be a good destination, and it can be found on the planet Microtech. This is the first example of the river technique that the game will use, and just like in real life, the waterways affect how the surrounding landscape looks.

Other news includes that the freighter MISC Hull A can now be flown in the game, and the extraction of minerals can be done faster and more efficiently using the new extraction equipment.
