Star Citizen Patch 13.1 (0.9.1) released with more control customisation

Cloud Imperium continue to tweak the current build of Star Citizen, and there are some nice additions in this 0.9.1 update to Arena Commander.

A couple of weeks ago I moved over to a HOTAS control system so this latest update for Star Citizen and Arena Commander is most welcome. The headline changes are improved control support and keybind customisation, players can choose which ship spawn in the hangar (which is a super important addition,) and SLI/Crossfire Support has also been improved to a degree.

There are the usual tweaks and quite a few fixes for the race mode, but there are still lots of issues to be sorted. You can check that list right at the bottom of these notes. Start downloading now because this patch is a hefty 2.3 Gb,
