Star Citizen is like The Blob (not the Marvel character) – constantly growing, absorbing people and poorly understood by those on the outside. There's a little bit more of a peek into the Persistent Universe (multiplayer) with the release of Star Citizen's 1.2 patch, introducing the Social Module. As an addition to the Arena Commander download you can access a new area called ArcCorp Area 18 via an elevator in your hangar and currently supports up to 24 players. In the new area you can wander around some of the shops and see the augmented reality displays in action outside of your hangar as well as chat with other players and customize your pilot.

The transmission over on the Roberts Space Industries site also talks about the future of the game but it's mostly technical stuff that we won't bore you with here.
