Notable Changes for May 15, 2024

Release View

In this week's Roadmap update, we're excited to announce the addition of Alpha 4.0 to Release View, targeting Q3 of this year. Below, you'll find the initial set of features and content planned for this release, with more to come in the leadup to launch.

The following feature cards have been added to Release View, targeting a release with Alpha 4.0.

Server Meshing V1

The initial implementation of Server Meshing enables multiple servers per shard to improve load distribution and facilitates navigation between two solar systems.

Mission System Refactor

Reworking the underlying Mission System to become compatible with Server Meshing, allowing for easier creation and maintenance of mission content.

Transit System Refactor

Reworking the Transit System used for trams and elevators to be compatible with Server Meshing as well as generally more robust.

Pyro I

Pyro I is the first planet from the sun of the Pyro system. Its thick, high-pressure atmosphere hides a strange landscape beset by powerful winds and lightning strikes. Under the clouds, there is an ecosystem of plants and animals that endure its extremely high temperatures, even during powerful stellar flares.

Pyro II - Monox

Monox (Pyro II) is the second planet from the sun of the Pyro system. Nicknamed "Monox" for the deadly carbon monoxide in its atmosphere, it has a temperate climate, and was seen as a viable candidate for terraforming shortly after its discovery. However, its proximity to the system's volatile sun made it dangerous for Human habitation, and the United Nations of Earth (UNE) refused to clear it for terraformation, instead allowing corporations to harvest its natural resources. Undeterred by the potential risk, outlaws eventually took up residence on the planet when the last corporations pulled out of Pyro in the 26th century.

Pyro III - Bloom

Bloom (Pyro III) is the third planet from the sun of the Pyro system. Cold but naturally habitable, it became the epicenter of mining endeavors in Pyro. Pyrotechnic Amalgamated and other corporations constructed multiple staging sites, employees barracks, and processing centers that were in use until the cost of their maintenance could no longer be offset by mining profits. Abandoned when the last active corporations in Pyro ceased operations there in the late 26th century, they were claimed by squatters, outlaws, and former miners who lacked the means to return to the United Empire of Earth.

Pyro IV

Pyro IV is the outermost moon of Pyro V, and astronomers theorize that it was once the fourth planet from the sun of the Pyro system. At some point before Humans discovered Pyro, a massive celestial body collided with Pyro IV, catastrophically warping its landscape, destroying its atmosphere, and knocking it into the orbit of nearby gas giant Pyro V. Although the tectonic activity that resulted from this impact has quieted and a new atmosphere has formed, Pyro IV is far from stable. It is on a long, slow collision course with Pyro V, and will one day either crash into it or break up into a ring.

Pyro V

Pyro V is the fourth planet from the sun of the Pyro system. It was given the classification of "Pyro V" when researchers came across strong evidence that its outermost moon once maintained a stable orbit around the system's star between Pyro III and Pyro V. When it was struck by an unknown celestial body, it was knocked into Pyro V's gravitational sphere of influence. Residents of and travelers through the Pyro system are known to harvest hydrogen from Pyro V's green and yellow atmosphere.

Pyro VI - Terminus

Terminus (Pyro VI) is the outermost world of the Pyro system. Its nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere is technically breathable, but contains high enough amounts of methane and carbon dioxide that it has a negative effect on one's health after extended exposure. Pyrotechnic Amalgamated placed their main hub of operations in orbit around Terminus, later abandoning the station when they left the system.

Ignis

Ignis is the innermost moon of the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. The multiple canyons and dry riverbeds on its surface suggest that liquid water once flowed there in the distant past. Its frigid average temperature and deadly atmosphere of sulfur dioxide creates an unfriendly environment for those who lack proper protective equipment. Nonetheless, the moon sometimes sees visitors seeking to resupply their air reserves thanks to the small amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Vatra

Vatra is the second moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. Its thick, high-pressure atmosphere of nitrogen and methane supports an ecosystem of plants that subsist on hydrocarbons instead of carbon dioxide. Some water is present on Vatra in the form of ice, but it is too cold on the surface for it to exist in a liquid state.

Adir

Adir is the third moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. Jagged mountains and rocky hills dominate its crater-ridden landscape. Because it lacks a protective atmosphere that would otherwise break apart most approaching celestial objects, its surface sees frequent impacts. The air is permeated with fine particles of dust that are generated during these events.

Fairo

Fairo is the fourth moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. A hotbed of seismic activity, Fairo experiences frequent earthquakes that disturb its deep oceans of brackish water. The moon has an unusual ecosystem that thrives both on the surface and under the sea, supported by the carbon dioxide and nitrogen in Fairo's dense atmosphere.

Fuego

Fuego is the fifth moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. Relatively temperate but still cold, it has a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere with small percentages of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and oxygen. High amounts of iron-sulfide in its soil gives its surface a yellow and black appearance. Infamous smuggler group Headhunters often utilized Fuego as a stash point for goods during their nascent years in the early 2600s.

Vuur

Vuur is the sixth moon from the gas giant Pyro V, Pyro system. Thanks to an increased greenhouse effect in its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, it is unusually warm for a moon so distant from its sun. Its carbon-rich soil supports forms of vegetation that utilize crystalline carbon in their base structures. Before the system was overtaken by outlaws in the early 27th century, these plants were a popular subject of research among botanists.

Pyro Space Stations

Adding rundown rest stop stations to the Pyro system, which provide basic services such as repair, sustenance, and commerce.

Outposts - Colonialism

A small home for AI to live and shelter. They consist of a central hub and a few optional internal and external modules. They provide the basic necessities to support a small group of people for an indefinite amount of time.

Jump Points

Implementing the first jump point into the persistent universe, connecting the Stanton and Pyro systems together. Includes necessary vehicle items and functionality, the jump points themselves, and their inner tunnels.

Solar Burst

Solar Bursts are dangerous natural disasters that happen regularly around older stars like Pyro. In these instances, the sun erupts with an high energy particle wave, generated from its surface, traveling at 15% the speed of light through the entire star-system. This dangerous high energy particle wave can be avoided by hiding behind other objects that are big enough.

Life Support

Implementing the first iteration of onboard life support systems in ships, which entails a ship component that generates breathable gas when turned on, and management of said life support component within the vehicle loadout manager.

Engineering

Allows players to manage, maintain and repair various ship systems. Players can assume different roles that each provide a unique gameplay loop. With Engineering Gameplay, players have to contend with item degradation, malfunctions, and power management.

Charge/Drain

Adding the ability for players to drain, store, and charge objects with power using the multi-tool. Includes the ability to overcharge objects and also remove distortion damage.

Multi-Tool Updates

Raising the multi-tool up to the standard from Squadron 42, with additional functionality like cutting (for specific scenarios), repair, and updates like improved handling, integrated UI, and the use of batteries to operate it.

Fire Hazard

Implementing the Fire Hazard system, which tracks fire & temperature on static and dynamic objects. For the initial release, fire will be set up on a select few vehicles.

Fire Extinguisher

All tasks required to implement functioning fire extinguishers in-game. This feature will work alongside the fire hazard system.

MFD Rework and New Displays

Rebuilding ship multi-function displays in Building Blocks, including new design, functionality, and customization options. This update also includes a select number of updated ship HUDs, giving greater visibility as well as a manufacturer-based visual overhaul.

Quasi Grazer

These large, warm-blooded herd animals were originally discovered on the vast plains of Quasi on Terra. Most notable for their unusual method of carrying their eggs on their underside, the Quasi grazer has become one of the standard seed animals and there can be commonly found on most terraformed planets in the UEE.

Additional Player Customization

Following the release of the new character customizer in Alpha 3.23, this update adds additional hair and facial hair options, as well as face piercings.

RSI Zeus MkII ES

Building, balancing, and implementing RSI's small multi-crew ship, the Zeus MkII ES, into the game.

The following cards have been added to Release View, released in Alpha 3.23.0:

Mirai Pulse

Building, balancing, and implementing Mirai's hover bike, the Pulse, into the game.

Mirai Pulse LX

Building, balancing, and implementing Mirai's racing bike, the Pulse LX, into the game.

The following cards have passed their final review for Alpha 3.23.1, therefore we are toggling their status to Committed:

Aegis Retaliator - Gold Standard

Updating the Aegis Retaliator to gold standard, including the introduction of modular rooms. The torpedo and cargo rooms will be available in this initial release, with more to come in the future.

Vehicle Modularity

Implementing the ability to swap modular sections of certain vehicles to change their function. This initial release contains the torpedo and cargo room modules for the Aegis Retaliator, with additional modules and vehicles to be added in the future.

That's all for this week! No Progress Tracker updates this week as work continues on long-term planning. For further insights into the planning efforts of our production team, we invite you to review the latest Letter From the Chairman.

Crusader Industries Hercules

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Development of the spacecraft that would become the modern Hercules began in the mid-28th century during a particularly introspective period for UEE military leadership. Keen to examine the potential lessons of the last war, UEE commanders undertook an unprecedented analysis of the Second Tevarin War followed by a series of simulated wargames covering major battles. One of the outcomes of this effort was a new understanding of the impact of support logistics on interstellar warfare. During the Tevarin wars and prior, interplanetary operations meant establishing an initial beachhead on a hostile world using small, heavily armored landing assault craft. Once a base was established, heavier equipment would be brought in using a support column of freighters and transporters not specially equipped for combat. Analysis of this practice in action suggested it had created a major choke point that had significantly delayed necessary assets in several cases. Not only did transporting weaponry crated aboard traditional transports slow the ability to deploy heavier artillery, missile launchers, and armored tanks, it also limited their immediate range once deployed. Even successes like the famed 2605 Battle of Koren Pass were cited as examples of situations where casualties resulted from a lack of logistics: if the UEE had the lift capacity to deliver fighting vehicles directly from orbit, losses on the ground could have been significantly reduced.

The solution, military leaders determined, was two-fold. The first was organizational. In an attempt to reduce time lost to inter-service confusion, the decision was made to establish UEE Starlift Command – a cross-service support framework intended to better coordinate the UEEN assets responsible for delivering personnel and materiel that would address the UEEA and UEEM’s granular battlefield needs. The second was to set forth the specifications for a complete quantum-to-battlefield support spacecraft that could deploy armored units and other assets to a variety of alien terrains while under fire. Instead of amphibious operations focusing on establishing individual fire bases to bring in heavier assault weaponry, this command and its theoretical spacecraft could deliver advanced units directly to active theaters. The plan would prove incredibly effective and significantly alter the shape of planetary-scale battlefields. Additionally, this new spacecraft could be maintained locally and be used to quickly relocate already deployed assets should flashpoints evolve.

The formal request for a proposal was issued in 2814. It asked for a large, well-protected transport that was jump-capable, able to sustain concentrated artillery fire, and able to deploy multiple armored vehicles quickly. Significant proposals were developed by both Aegis Dynamics and Crusader Industries. Crusader, then a premiere manufacturer of carriers and associated industrial conversions, was expected to adapt their serving Jupiter-class carrier for combat operations. Aegis was expected to develop a bespoke design specific to the UEEN’s needs. In an unexpected twist, the opposite proved true: Aegis suggested adapting existing military freighters with armor and defensive turrets, while Crusader developed a much more expensive proposal to create an entirely new design that would eventually become the Hercules starlifter. Despite Crusader’s proposal having three times the price tag of the Aegis conversion, the feeling was that such a major reorganization of tactical doctrine would be better supported with an entirely new spacecraft. The military decided to invest, despite the cost of developing such a system and the inevitable organizational issues that would come with its adoption. With that, Crusader Industries launched an all-out four-year program to develop their first dedicated military support spacecraft.

The first active-duty starlifter unit was formed in May 2821 with a dozen first model spacecraft (formally designated the ‘M2 Hercules’). In initial training exercises, the new ship worked perfectly. Capable of taking sustained fire and deploying a tank or armored car in minutes, the Hercules met the military’s requirements and then some. However, delays to Hercules deployment occurred due to the difficulty of integrating the new interservice command, with those involved facing a great deal of bureaucracy in order to allow these new processes to supplant the tried-and-true support chain. Nevertheless, the wisdom of the decision became clear in March 2824 with the first active combat deployment of the Hercules system, when UEE armed forces were called upon to put down a heavily armed group of pirate forces located on a frontier world near the Xi’an border. Instead of attacking the site from orbit, planners determined that it would be worthwhile to capture assets intact in order to pursue further antipiracy operations elsewhere. Two Hercules squadrons, escorted by deep space support fighters, quietly deployed troops and an armored column which defeated the stunned criminal forces in short order. The battle, previously thought to be a particularly hazardous prospect, was won with no losses of UEE personnel and the resulting capture of information would lead directly to the destruction of two pirate outposts and a small capital ship.

As use of the Crusader starlifter normalized, it quickly became a favorite among soldiers and ground crews. Crusader’s experience with civil space transport meant they understood how to build a spacecraft intended for ease of maintenance. Additionally, the hulky, armored appearance of the Hercules became a comfort to soldiers and marines, who came to associate it with much safer deployments. The sight of a Hercules on the battlefield inevitably meant the delivery of additional supplies or reinforcements. Within two decades, Starlift Command had organizational structures in place across the empire that would allow the rapid movement of Hercules to any battlefield within a jump of a currently settled star system. Several units of starlifters are kept on ‘ready five’ status around the Empire already loaded with tanks and missile launchers and teamed with special operations troops that can be used to address rapidly developing situations.

Over the decades, Crusader has continued to update and enhance the original Hercules design and has made a tidy profit performing fleet enhancements and producing battlefield update kits in the progress. This steady dedication to modernizing the fleet has been strongly supported by Starlift Command and has allowed individual examples to remain in service well past their intended retirement. As of 2948, a significant number of first and second generation Hercules hulls were still being operated thanks to these extensive maintenance processes. Similarly, Crusader has continued to apply their ‘frame-and-role’ design process developed in starliner construction to the Hercules line, which has allowed the rapid creation of a number of role-specific variants including refuelers, heavy armor support ships, and information runners. Crusader’s philosophy allows the creation of variants to proceed rapidly as the need requires without disrupting existing production lines. This has allowed role-specific Hercules to be constructed as needed and retired just as quickly. One of these variants has become a significant part of the UEEN inventory: the A2 is a dedicated heavy gunship that adapts the Hercules’ heavy armor and other defensive systems for more a sustained combat role and uses the design’s extensive cargo capacity for munitions storage. The A2 Hercules is now constructed on its own factory line and has seen extensive combat operations against planetside forces.

In 2940, Crusader surprised the aerospace industry by announcing the development of the first standalone civilian variant of the Hercules, the C2. Long seen as a military-only spacecraft design, the decision was especially unexpected as Crusader’s factories did not have the immediate capacity to produce more than the Hercules already requisitioned by the military. In order to produce the C2, three more Hercules lines would need to be opened. Crusader, however, saw this as less of a gamble, believing that even if interest in a civilianized Hercules was not immediately apparent, the investment would ultimately be useful as military demand increased in the face of increased conflict with the Vanduul. The C2 Hercules design drops some of the armor and specialized hardware from the current generation military type in exchange for an overall improvement in cargo. Formally targeted at frontier concerns, the C2 variant has been positioned as a way for planets with less developed infrastructures to rapidly move vehicles from place to place. In their example study, Crusader imagined a mining corporation seeking to reallocate heavy equipment to sites around a newly explored planet in order to make use of claims before unlicensed jumpers could move in. The move proved to be a success, with civilian organizations quickly taking to the sturdy spacecraft design and corporate partners happy to have a ship with such a well-developed lineage and extant support apparatus. In addition to miners and explorers, the C2 Hercules quickly proved to be popular among militia groups eager to move small spacecraft and ground vehicles from place to place on individual worlds

Hello everyone, xē'suelen

Alpha 3.23.0: Adventure Beckons is now LIVE! Let's kick off this week by delving into the significance of this release and what it took to get this one out the door. This milestone holds particular weight for us, as it encompasses over 60 distinct deliverables. To bring this release to fruition, our team addressed a staggering 1308 bugs and tackled 911 tasks. Since March 6, we've published 54 builds to Evocati and PTU, averaging 1.2 builds per day. None of this would have been possible without the help of our extended team: each and every one of you who participated, tested, and reported on our test universe builds.

Of course, there's still work to be done, more bugs to squash, and more tasks to complete, but we have no plans to ease up on the pace.

The release of 3.23.0 marks a pivotal moment for us. It sets the stage for an array of meaningful patches to follow throughout the year, including Alpha 4.0. We've been vocal about our vision for 2024, and we hope you can sense the momentum!

Read the Patch Notes, enjoy Star Citizen's game-changing update, and let us know your thoughts on Spectrum!

As for the Overdrive Initiative, the XenoThreat menace has been repelled for now, and it’s unlikely the planned incursion will happen until after Invictus Launch Week. Attacking during a military parade seems like a bad idea! As such, Overdrive Initiative Phases 1 - 5 will still be available for all volunteers right up until the XenoThreat assault begins. We have recently communicated an update to the event, as we've brought improvements to the missions along with Alpha 3.23.

Our smallest vehicle to date, the Mirai Pulse entered the 'verse with Alpha 3.23! We have also published a Q&A from our dev team in case you have any burning questions about the new gravlev hoverbikes from Mirai.

Finally, our teams rallied the BE@Con event this last week-end in Liège, Belgium, with an astonishing turnout of over 1,200 tickets sold! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who graced us with their presence, elevating this fan convention to truly legendary proportions. The outpouring of enthusiasm was humbling as we connected with hundreds of devoted players in the delightful weather over the course of two exhilarating days. Chris and Sandi Roberts themselves were awe-struck by the overwhelming success of BE@Con, the warmth of our community, and the profound sense of unity within the Star Citizen journey. We commend the exceptional efforts of the BE@Con staff who tirelessly crafted this event over many months, ensuring that it was a joyous celebration for all. And celebrate we did, with unparalleled fervor!

Now, let's see what's going on this week:

This Tuesday, enjoy a new Galactapedia Update from the Narrative team: All about the Crusader Hercules!

On Wednesday, we will deliver a new Roadmap Roundup and give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes coming to Star Citizen.

This Thursday, Inside Star Citizen is Part One of our Invictus coverage on the Aegis Sabre Gold Standard, the Sabre Firebird, and the Ursa Medivac.

And, on Friday, Star Citizen Live returns with our Invictus All-Vehicles Q&A. Post your questions to our development teams now on Spectrum, and we will see you on twitch.tv/starcitizen, at 8am PDT / 3pm UTC. The weekly RSI Newsletter will also be delivered right to your inboxes.

MIRAI

The Pulse represents an unmatched union of blazing speed and precision handling! We asked the Vehicle and Gameplay teams a few questions about Mirai's new lightning-fast bike. Here are the answers, straight from the devs themselves.

Whether you desire an advantage on the racetrack or the edge in ground combat, Mirai has you covered with this truly next-gen bike.

How does the Mirai Pulse compare to other small ground vehicles, like the Aopoa Nox or Drake Dragonfly?

The Pulse is the smallest vehicle we've released to date, which allows it to fit inside smaller ships or areas that other bikes may not. And, as it’s made by Mirai: the Pulse has a focus on performance, offering an intense flight experience!

The base variant also features a bespoke laser Gatling, which is the first weapon of its type in Star Citizen.

What's the difference between the Pulse and Pulse LX?

The LX is an all-out racer, ditching the base variant’s bespoke weapon for an air intake and two additional rear thrusters to further enhance its flight performance.

Which ships does the Pulse currently fit in?

Being only slightly longer than 2 SCUs of cargo, the Pulse should fit in a large majority of our vehicles that can carry cargo!

What is the Pulse’s top speed?

Currently, 208 m/s for the base Pulse and 220 m/s for the Pulse LX.

Mirai is known for its connections with the Xi’an. Other than grav-lev, does the Pulse use Xi’an technology?

Torral Aggregate (Aoō’nu se T.or’al) manufactures the Pulse’s laser Gatling gun. This Xi'an company has a history of weapons production under the auspice of the Emperor that dates back thousands of years.

While riding a Pulse, can I be dropped from the atmosphere and land smoothly on the surface?

If the hover-height setting is appropriately raised by the pilot, yes!

What weapons does the Pulse have?

Only the base variant has a weapon – a gimballed Size 2 laser Gatling gun, which is the first Size 2 weapon on a bike.

Can I replace the Gatling with any other ship weapons?

No, the S2 Gatling is bespoke and cannot be changed.

How rapidly does the Gatling gun fire?

Currently, it fires at a comparable rate to other small Gatling weapons in the game.

Can I store weapons or items on the Pulse?

The Pulse features a small personal storage space, but there is no weapon rack.

Does the Pulse have landing gear?

It does not feature a landing-gear system. Instead, it retains a lower level of static hovering when powered off, much like the Nox.

Squadron 42 Monthly Report

This is a cross-post of the report that was recently sent out via the monthly Squadron 42 newsletter. We’re publishing this a second time as a Comm-Link to make it easier for the community to reference back to.

TO: SQUADRON 42 RECRUITS

SUBJ: DEVELOPMENT UPDATE 05:01:2024

REF: CIG UK, CIG DE, CIG LA, CIG TX

FAO Squadron 42 Recruits.

Welcome to April’s Squadron 42 development report. Enclosed you will find details on the latest progress made across the campaign, including AI behaviors, ship combat, and easter eggs.

Thank you for your continued support of Squadron 42.

Sincerely,

CIG COMMUNICATIONS

AI (Content)

April saw the AI Content team enhancing the dialogue experience, introducing four dynamic conversations into chapter one to showcase chapter-specific content more effectively. They also addressed a critical issue where players could observe NPCs despawning after following them - NPCs now engage with the environment meaningfully until the player exits the area.

The team then implemented input variables to enhance flexibility in player-AI interactions, allowing for tailored reactions, such as a formal greeting followed by task-related dialogue, a concise ‘busy’ response, or no dialogue at all. This expanded functionality proved invaluable for addressing the campaign’s diverse narrative scenarios.

Overall NPC behaviors were refined too, with the team resolving a bug causing NPC guards to gradually shift leftward each time they saluted the player. This was caused by a locator malfunction.

The team also rectified an issue where the ‘supervisor’ NPC was inconsistently present on the Stanton’s bridge across the day-night cycle.

For combat mechanics, AI Content utilized new mo-cap to refine how players interact with the Gladius. Alongside this, various tasks and bug fixes were completed to improve the overall player experience.

AI (Features)

Last month, the AI Features team made updates and bug fixes to AI combat for the Persistent Universe. Once Alpha 3.23 launches, these improvements will be brought into SQ42 to further enhance the flight and combat experience.

AI (Tech)

AI Tech began supporting usables reacting to Maelstrom physics. As part of this, the usable will react to the destroyed object and enable or disable specific functionalities. For example, if an engineer inspects a broken wing of the Gladius, they will notice the damage and perform an appropriate interaction. For cover, the system will react to the object’s destruction and notify NPCs that might be already using the cover.

Animation

The Animation team worked on numerous space-centered movements throughout April, including zero-g and prone movement in gravity. They also worked on first-person animations for turrets, interacting with fire extinguishers, MedPens, and more.

The team then continued working on player weapon reloading and malfunctions as well as burning down AI combat animations, including reloads and hit reactions. Hit reactions were also shot for a new enemy class.

The team is currently closing out several background and life elements across various locations, such as the Idris. They also supported Cinematics with mo-cap shoots for the opening of the campaign.

The Facial Animation team continued to develop assets for the cast characters and player. On the mo-cap side, the team supported mo-cap sessions needed to complete specific levels.

Gameplay Story

April saw the Gameplay Story team focusing on chapter one. As part of this, they continued bug fixing and polishing, with their involvement on the chapter tapering off as it nears completion.

In addition to this, the team continued to implement and improve scenes across other chapters, with April’s work mostly dealing with chapter five. For example, they overhauled a scene in an elevator with new mo-cap and encouragement lines.

“It was great to see all these elements working together with great timing in-game.” Gameplay Story Team

Also for chapter five, a scene on a tram platform received new mo-cap to improve how a key character reacts to the player.

Narrative

Throughout April, Narrative progressed with tasks started in previous months alongside reexamining remaining work to make sure that everything is covered and tracked.

The team continued generating environmental chatter that will be sprinkled throughout the story to provide additional backstory and insights into the social dynamics of the crew.

Additionally, Narrative worked closely with Core Gameplay to implement the Galactapedia, testing out the layout, content, and triggering of various entries. This is being trialed on a sample level to establish a standardized process before being applied across the game.

The team continued to review text used for mission objectives, as well as the on-screen tutorials based on Level Design’s latest updates to the game flow, to ensure players have a clear understanding of what’s needed from them. This will be an ongoing endeavor as levels are solidified and tested.

Work also continued with several external vendors to generate collectible content that will be found throughout the game.

“While we can’t get into the specifics to avoid spoilers, this additional content should provide really fun easter eggs for players to track down.” Narrative Team

Finally, Narrative kicked off an initiative across several teams to better test and validate their voice packs. While versions of this have existed for some time, the aim is for it to feature a gameplay-centric interface that will allow the Narrative, Audio, and Design teams to modify the combat experience through debug triggers that can help satisfy conditions to trigger lines.

Tech Animation

The Tech Animation team continued to generate and implement new head assets to the DNA gene pool, and are not far from completing the initiative of 80 heads.

Many devs are currently dealing with the complications of players and NPCs putting on and taking off clothes live in the engine.

“This has been ongoing for some time and, with the addition of animation resources into the mix, we are seeing great headway in both generating the assets for animation and generating usable pipelines to expedite the entire process for everyone involved.” Tech Animation Team

Additionally, the team are intrinsic in the creation and implementation of new creatures for both the PU and SQ42.

They’re also involved in work toward consumables and the setup of foodstuffs, with the team aiming to guide this initiative and promote time-saving workflows.

Tech Design

Last month, Tech Design began moving the recent Ship AI changes from the PU into SQ42. They also set up new ammo crate entities, provided miscellaneous tech support, and fixed several bugs.

UI

In April, the UI team focused on the opening level of the game, creating several motion-graphic videos of boot-up sequences for when the player uses tech for the first time. These are used to work out the timings of animated sequences so, once they're signed off, they can easily be recreated in-engine.

The team also worked on the UI for one of the alien races.

VFX

Last month, the VFX team worked on holographic shader improvements, including extending the feature set so that it can be more widely used by the Art and Design teams.

As usual, general support for Art, Cinematics, and Design continued, including positive steps for destruction workflows.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT MONTH...

Star-Citizen-Experte Knebel wirft einen Blick auch die Neuerungen der kommenden Alpha-Version 3.23, die bereits auf den Testservern spielbar ist und in Kürze auch für alle Unterstützer des Weltraum-Projekts verfügbar sein sollte. - Deutsche Fan-Übersetzung für Star Citizen Alpha runterladen Vor ein paar Wochen hat Star Citizen unter anderem mit Meldungen über den Release von Version 1.0 für Schlagzeilen gesorgt. Nach vielen Jahren des Wartens gab es also ein neues Licht am Ende des Tunnels. Wird auch allerhöchste Zeit, werden die meisten vielleicht denken. Die Einzelspieler Kampagne Squadron 42 ist inzwischen immerhin “Feature Complete” und ein großer Teil der Entwicklungsressourcen steht vermeintlich für das MMO zur Verfügung. Der “1.0-Release” wird inzwischen tatsächlich ganz offiziell angepeilt. Es soll im Laufe des Jahres und zur CitizenCon im Oktober 2024 eine Roadmap dazu geben. Wie nah wir an Star Citizen 1.0 nun aber wirklich dran sind und was diese Version eigentlich alles beinhalten wird - und vor allem was noch nicht - darüber können wir aktuell nur spekulieren. Wesentlich konkreter ist dagegen das nächste große Update für die Alpha von Star Citizen. Die Entwickler beschreiben die Alpha 3.23 als “größten Patch seit 6 Jahren”. Also schauen wir uns mal an, was uns da an Neuerungen erwartet.

INSIDE STAR CITIZEN

What features are you most excited to experience in Alpha 3.23? The live release is just around the corner! Let's take this opportunity to run through some of the major updates and content it'll bring, including a brand-new vehicle that'll surely raise the tempo on the track.

Zitat von Roberts Space Industries

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Every two weeks, we accompany the Roadmap update with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an effort to make our communications more transparent, more specific, and more insightful for all of you who help to make Star Citizen and Squadron 42 possible.

With that said, let’s go ahead and dive into this week’s Roadmap Roundup!

-CIG Community Team

Notable Changes for May 1, 2024

Progress Tracker

As you might have seen in the recent Letter From the Chairman, our development team is in the process of outlining the necessary tasks to achieve Star Citizen's full 1.0 commercial release. While our production schedule is still in progress, we intend to share a portion of it with you soon by updating the Progress Tracker up to the end of 2024 (with more to be shared later in the year!). We're nearly finished and aiming to provide more details in the coming weeks, so stay tuned to the Roadmap for more information very soon!

Release View

Arena Commander: Grav Royale

The team encountered a critical issue with this game mode that requires additional testing. For the time being, we're removing this card from Release View until this is resolved.

The following features have passed their final review for Alpha 3.23.0, therefore we are toggling their status to Committed:

Distribution Centers

Creating new traversable areas offering gameplay opportunities in corporate industrial environments. This initial release includes the surface levels of the facilities, with underground areas coming in a later update.

Vulkan Graphics API Support

Converting the Star Citizen renderer from DirectX11 to the Vulkan Graphics API. This allows spreading GPU submission work over many CPU cores, and enables many new tech features that were previously unavailable, such as Ray Tracing. Vulkan is able to be opted into via the options menu with this release, but it will eventually fully replace DirectX11 in the future.

Water Simulation & Rendering Improvements

The water in Star Citizen now support a multi-scale GPU wave simulation to support dynamic reaction to thrusters, aerodynamic wake, explosions and collisions. The rendering has also been overhauled, with improved waves, reflections, refraction, underwater fog, and helmet effects.

Volumetric Clouds Update

Updating Star Citizen's volumetric cloud technology to improve overall visual quality and performance, including the addition of both volumetric shadows as well as the implementation of ground fog.

Image Upscaling

Implementing support for GPU upscaling, including DLSS, FSR, and an in-house TSR solution.

Replication Layer Update

Over the course of the 3.21 patch cycle, the Replication Layer will be moved off of the game servers and set up as its own standalone service. In the short term, this allows for greater server recovery in the event of a crash. This is also a critical next step toward Server Meshing.

That's all for this week! No Progress Tracker updates this week as work continues on long-term planning. For further insights into the planning efforts of our production team, we invite you to review the latest Letter From the Chairman.

Join the discussion on Spectrum, and check out the Roadmap Companion Guide for more information on the Star Citizen Public Roadmap.
