Star Citizen Alpha version 2.3.0 has been released to the SC Test Universe servers. Included in this release will be a Hangar Ready version of the Starfarer, a 90m long, 50m wide, 7 person dedicated bulk fuel freighter and refinery platform.
While still not fully component enabled or flyable, and still pretty glitchy, this video tour by STL Youngblood gives a good indication of the scale, detail, size, and features of the ship.The Starfarer is designed not only to load, store and protect fuel stasis units, it is designed to take in spaceborne hydrogen and then refine it for use without landing. The Starfarer can also be used to ferry traditional bulk cargo pods but in such cases the fuel refining equipment would be useless. This equipment is modular and can be swapped out for another mission package for dry operations!

Couple of interesting portrait oriented screenshots found on the SC Community:
(Believe they are crops made from some screenshots that were originally produced at 5k, I've reduced them even further to load here. Link to the imgur gallery with the originals and full-size versions is here: http://imgur.com/a/9OWcp)

Yip, they're still going with the "late-2016" release line for Squadron 42 at the moment, as far as I know. Very, very little public info on the status of the development though. Officially, CIG are trying to keep as much of it under cover to avoid "spoiling the surprise" especially for early backers, who've been on board for a good while now.
They have released a few Behind the Scenes clips at the rate of about one a month featuring some of the bigger names in the SQ42 cast list. Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill, Gillian Anderson, and John Rhys-Davies have all had a turn. The most recent one featured Andy Serkis (him of Gollum and Supreme Commander Snoke fame) who plays the main Vanduul alien antagonist Thul'Óqquray. Pretty interesting clip from a technical "film making" point of view too.

New solo mining ship the Prospector concept released:
Set out to seek your fortune with the MISC Prospector! For years, the Prospector has been the universe’s preferred mining vessel for solo operators. Featuring MISC’s sleek design sensibility and a bevy of upgraded high-tech mining tools, the 2947 Prospector perfectly balances form and functional. Don’t miss out on what many consider to be the best solo mining vessel around! See why the MISC Prospector is one of the most popular, independently operated mining ships in the ’verse, and get yours today.
This 2947 MISC Prospector features a durable hull and four centrally located side saddle storage containers to provide a compact profile for traveling through precarious areas of space. Anyone who has excavated asteroids knows that maintaining a stable position is essential, so MISC improved the VTOL thrusters with technology from our exclusive Xi’An partnership to make them strong enough to ensure your ship stays exactly where it needs to be when snagging those small chunks of precious rock, but sensitive enough to skillfully navigate through dense clusters.
The improvements don’t just stop there. Underneath the ship, an upgraded scanner offers a wider search area than ever before without having to change position, while the award-winning retractable mining laser has been modified to help you find and extract ores from previously hard to reach places.

I'm loving the game at the moment. Quests/missions are interesting. So I had a funny turn of events doing the first insurance quest. The one where you have to go find evidence for some lady. While I docked and started flying around the abandoned space station in my space suit, I noticed my ship was rolling away. LOL.
So I finished sending the evidence then got out of the space station. Ship is about 100m away, fly to the ship but it is in a continuous barrel roll. So I start trying to time it to open the door, which I did. Then after about 10 mins I get in. Then as soon as I try to sit down, it bugs out and throws me out. 1000m away
After flying 100m I'm like Right Alt + Backspace
The mission would normally take about 15 mins. I took me 1 hour. I had to learn to Jump drive and then I crashed once on the space station(Landing in Cruise mode).
