Added Sunstar, a new Capture the Flag map.

Temple Ruins, a Capture the Flag map, has been revised based on community feedback and returns to the Quick Play rotation.

Additional European servers added.  Region selection includes Europe – London and Europe – Amsterdam.

Server performance optimizations.

More polished reticules and HUD icons.  Also, users may now disable unwanted HUD elements using SETTINGS menu.

Hi-Rez Studios also announced their intent to reward the very active Beta community.  When Tribes: Ascend officially releases on April 12th, all Beta players who have reached level 10 will receive an exclusive in-game Beta badge. All player progress and unlocks in Beta will be preserved through release with no planned character wipes.
