Zitat von Roberts Space Industries

Hello everyone,

As we emphasized in the last Letter from the Chairman and throughout our messaging this year, our top priority for 2025 is improving playability. A key part of this effort is refining how we manage feature development—with features now being developed in a separate branch and only migrating over when they are ready.

In a recent episode of Inside Star Citizen, we shared our commitment to delivering more content patches, more frequently. Because these updates are highly narrative-driven, we’ve adjusted how they appear on the Release View to avoid spoilers. As a result, some newly added cards in the Release View are marked as Redacted and will only be fully revealed once the content is officially announced or discovered.

As a reminder, the 1.0 column represents features and content planned for Star Citizen 1.0. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll have to wait until full release to experience them—rather, it serves as a snapshot of the experience you can expect. As features and content from this column become ready, they will shift left into a point patch column, preparing for release.

There are still more additions and updates to come, including possible changes and additions to immediate columns, so be sure to check back every two weeks for the latest updates.

With that, let’s dive into this week’s Roadmap Roundup!

Additions to the Star Citizen 1.0 column:

Quantum Boost

Introducing Quantum Boost, a short-burst travel mode designed for quick repositioning and high-speed engagements between distant points.

Item Misfire & Wear

Adding depth to equipment functionality with item misfires and gradual wear, requiring regular maintenance to ensure peak performance.

Fire Hazard

Bringing fire hazards to ships and environments, along with Fire Extinguisher mechanics, requiring players to manage and extinguish blazes before they spread.

Charge & Drain

Expanding the utility of the multi-tool with the ability to drain and transfer power between objects, unlocking new puzzle-solving and support roles.

Life Support

Integrating life support systems into ships, making oxygen management and environmental controls critical for survival.

Engineering Gameplay

Introducing dedicated engineering roles aboard ships, allowing players to actively manage power distribution, repairs, and system efficiency in real time.

Solar Flare

Unleashing powerful solar bursts within the Pyro system, creating dynamic environmental hazards that players must navigate and prepare for.

Vehicle Radar & Scanning Rework

Reworking Vehicle radar and scanning for all vehicles.

FPS Radar & Scanning

Implementing first-person radar and scanning gameplay, improving situational awareness and bringing new tactical gameplay.

New Missions - Location Repair

Implementing new missions that introduce Repair gameplay into the persistent universe, first appearing in Pyro's outposts. We've temporarily moved this card to the 1.0 column, but like all features and content there, it will be assigned to a point patch once it's ready.

Progress Tracker

You can now find a preview of many of the things that we are currently actively working on in the Progress Tracker, with more additions to come at a later time.

We've made several additions to the Progress Tracker, which you can review below. Just a reminder: when progress on a deliverable is marked as complete, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ready for release. It may still require downstream support, transition to another team for further work, or other additional steps before completion.
