From boarding an Idris to defending civilians and taking the fight directly to Xenothreat forces, brave pilots can earn new unique and powerful blueprints while helping push the invaders back. Since the release, the teams have been closely following your feedback on both the event and overall performance. We appreciate everyone who has taken the time to jump in, play through the event, and share their reports.\n\nThe latest Squadron 42 Newsletter also landed in your inboxes, introducing you to more members of the crew aboard the UEES Stanton and offering another glimpse into the people you'll serve alongside during the campaign. If you haven't already, make sure you're subscribed in your account settings so you don't miss future updates.\n\nWe published a new Roadmap Update, sharing the latest plans for content arriving throughout July and August. The corresponding Roadmap Roundup also gave an update on our ongoing initiative to improve the overall Star Citizen experience.

Read on for the latest from AI Features & Tech, Ships, Community, Core Gameplay, Mission Design, Narrative, and more.\n\nAI Content\nIn June, the AI Content team continued to support several initiatives for Alpha 4.9. They also worked alongside Mission Design to set up comms calls and NPCs for several upcoming missions and locations.\n\nAI Content then supported a performance-capture shoot to ensure that the content will flow seamlessly once the audio is mastered and animations are solved. Alongside this, the team planned out some Narrative-driven initiatives for new behaviors and directions to explore.\n\nAI (Features & Tech)\nLast month saw AI Features & Tech fix an issue with Super Heavy NPCs not being able to use their miniguns. Some Human AI issues were fixed too, including NPCs continuing to fire at targets they could not see.\n\nFor the apex valakkar, the devs introduced the ability to constrain it to an area while avoiding another. It also received laser and EMP attacks, gained the ability to switch between attacks, and improvements were made to surface sound detection. For the Yormandi, a bug causing it to get stuck in reactions was fixed.\n\nAlthough not yet integrated into the PU, improvements were made to the flight AI for fleeing behind objects and counter-chasing behaviors, and updates were made to the general Flight behavior.\n\nAnimation\nThe Animation team fleshed out animations for the apex valakkar while planning for the next round of creatures. They also worked on the mission-giver Battaglia, both in her physical location and when spoken to over comms.\n\nArt (Characters)\nThe Character Art team spent the month working on a new armor set, mission rewards, updates to the Nine Tails gang, and other upcoming items. Support for the StarWear initiative continued too. Alongside this, the Concept Art team progressed with a new combat armor.\n\nArt (Ships)\nIn the UK, the Ships team finalized and launched the Gatac Railen and Tyilui. They then turned their attention to another Grey's Market ship, which was parked last year due to other priorities, beginning by ensuring nothing had degraded since it was last worked on.\n\nFurther work was done for the Liberator, including integrating and repurposing numerous Anvil kit pieces from recent ships, such as the Asgard and Paladin, which significantly reduces the amount of required new content.\n\nMore artists moved onto the RSI Galaxy following the release of the recent alien ships, helping progress across all areas.\n\nTwo new ground vehicle variants progressed quickly down the pipeline. One successfully passed a combined whitebox and greybox gate review, while the other is rapidly approaching its whitebox gate review.\n\nFour unannounced ships progressed too. The first, a new fighter, passed its whitebox gate review and will continue to have its geometry refined as part of the greybox phase, in preparation for November.\n\nThe second, a new ship from a Xi'an manufacturer designed to fulfill a generalist role, entered pre-production.\n\nThe third progressed toward its LOD0 gate. As part of this, the team added detail across the hull and ensured the animated parts don\u2019t interfere with each other.\n\nThe fourth had its greybox gate review. Following this, adjustments were made to its component and weapon locations. The Mo-cap team is currently preparing to tackle the complicated animations required for this ship.\n\nFinally, the North American team continued to move the Kraken toward its greybox gate review, with a focus on utilizing the finalized Drake kit from the Ironclad. The initial lighting pass was done to set the tone across the ship.\n\nArt (Weapons)\nIn June, the Weapons team continued through the final phase of production on a new large-caliber weapon. In addition, they pushed forward with content for upcoming patches and numerous weapon paints for various upcoming events.\n\nThe team\u2019s ongoing material polish passes and updates continued, too, and they\u2019re looking forward to upcoming tech that will require cross-team collaboration.\n\nCommunity\nIn June, the Community team kicked off Pride Month with the Show Us Your Colors Celebration contest, inviting players to express their creativity in honor of the myriad colorful ways our community shines. The team also published the May PU Monthly Report and prepared for the many events this month had in store.\n\nThe Community team then supported the release of Alpha 4.8.1, an update that introduced new missions and additional content to the game. They published a Player-to-Player Trade Update detailing recent changes designed to streamline in-game trading while limiting the potential for exploits. They also maintained a Known Issues thread to track which issues were being actively investigated, awaiting implementation, or already in progress. The thread was updated regularly as development addressed them. Throughout and after the release, the team kept a close eye on player feedback and sentiment, making sure development stayed informed of any emerging issues.\n\nAs Alien Week made its yearly return, the team provided a helpful Catch All thread highlighting the otherworldly experiences this event included. They published a Q&A for the new Gatac Tyilui and a Xeno Craft Challenge community contest, encouraging participants to show how the alien cultures of Star Citizen have inspired them.\n\nThe Bar Citizen World Tour shifted into high gear in June with International Bar Citizen Weekend, with the Community team hosting this year's events in Austin, Frankfurt, Montreal, and Manchester. Attendees received a Shattered Vanduul Lance to display in their hangar, with more chances to pick one up as the tour continues to new locations throughout the year.\n\n\u201cMeeting the community in person and coming together over our shared love of the \u2018verse is what Bar Citizen is all about. With many stops planned across the globe for 2026, we hope to see you there!\u201d Community Team\n\nThe team also kept up their regular cadence of This Week in Star Citizen and bi-weekly Roadmap updates to round out the month\u2019s many activities.\n\nCore Gameplay\nIn June, the Core Gameplay team shifted focus to a dedicated bug-fixing push alongside the Player Experience and QA teams. Much of the month was spent identifying the root causes of issues affecting day-to-day gameplay, including problems with hangar and freight-elevator flow, quantum travel, Starmap routing, and vehicles being falsely destroyed or flagged for claim.\n\nAlongside this, the team kept moving forward on a range of content, technology, and feature initiatives.\n\nThe upcoming Apocalypse Arms heavy machine gun received support for magazines mounted to the Super Heavy suit's backpack. Players can now load magazines into the backpack by hand, even when it's worn by another player, and empty magazines now eject automatically. This work also prompted a smaller rework of explosion damage so that it spreads more evenly across body parts, plus fixes for the ammo count display and magazines failing to eject correctly.\n\nSupporting the HMG also required changes to the melee system to handle different buttstock-strike damage values, which fixed a bug where they weren't dealing damage at all. Separately, holographic previews for tractor-beamed items now use each item's attachable offset where available, making their appearance more accurate.\n\nFor Item Recovery, the team finished a basic version of the Individual Item Claim mode and began work on the full version. Ship paints can now be bricked and recovered like other components. Fixes went in for bricked ships that remained flyable after a full component swap, and for loadouts not being respected after a claim. Claim timer improvements also continued. To cut down on unnecessary claims, ships destroyed while inside a hangar can now be claimed for free.\n\nFor StarWear, a new tool validates and repairs player and NPC loadouts, catching the setup errors that would otherwise break compatibility. The team also added clothing prerequisites for certain armors. For example, the Caldera Novikov suit may require a specific clothing item to be worn first. Work also began on StarWear's UI, which took several iterations with UX Design to get right given the complexity of the equipment rules. New additions include a blocked state that tells players when an item can't be equipped because another item is in the way, indicators for whether a piece is spaceworthy, and an improved weight bar at the top of the inventory.\n\nUpdates to several core systems were made for Starchitect, which will fundamentally change how designers place locations and sandbox content across planets. Now, harvestables and loot are context-aware of their surrounding location and environment, so designers can match loot to the environment more easily. For instance, instead of manually placing outlaw-specific loot boxes, the system will now detect that a location is outlaw-controlled and select the right loot type automatically. Crafting is undergoing similar changes for Starchitect compatibility, and the Mission System required significant rework so the designers can set up mission locations and contracts at a much larger scale. Freight elevators and security systems are now Starchitect-compatible as well.\n\nThis procedural shift also triggered a broader review of core gameplay systems, so the team rewrote how nav-points are handled and accessed to ensure any system reading that data keeps working even when a location is fully streamed out. This will allow Starchitect locations to appear correctly on the Starmap, be routed to, show up in the quantum travel HUD, and support location inventories for freight elevators,\n\nFor the Command Module, the team provided heavy post-release support, addressing player-reported bugs across hangar and air-traffic control interactions, damage handling, quantum travel markers, locked doors, camera override, Starmap routing, physics collisions, server transition issues, room atmosphere, and more.\n\nAhead of Tech Preview and player testing, the team fixed critical instancing bugs, including players losing ownership of their instance (causing it to despawn) and players being incorrectly moved into someone else's instance. Eviction logic was also added so a player kicked from a party gets teleported to a safe location outside the instance.\n\nTo support the reworked Siege of Orison, Core Gameplay gave the designers a way to assign NPCs to defend specific areas, removing the need for complex spawn-closet setups inside instances. The designers can now also set custom respawn locations. For example, sending a player to the nearest medical facility after completing an objective, functioning as a checkpoint system. This is especially valuable for long-form content like Siege of Orison.\n\nFor Transport, shuttles can now be gated behind mission logic, matching functionality already available in the legacy system. The team cleaned up code for elevator carriages with a single door and completed the major work to bring vehicle elevators under the Transport system, replacing the convoluted elevator setups many vehicles currently rely on.\n\nWork then continued on the toolset the designers use to build mission content, with numerous workflow fixes and optimizations. The devs also began building a Mission Board UI Provider component to support local interactable mission boards, first planned for use at new Starchitect locations. Progress also continued on bringing back physical mission givers. Players can now receive a one-time comms call from a mission giver when they meet certain conditions, such as entering a specific star system. Mission delivery directly to an instance is now supported and is used by various Battaglia missions.\n\nTo close out some of the work on the Ship Hangar Services feature, the team added support for missile containers when stacking missiles on a cargo grid.\n\nFinally, for Social and Orgs, chat was re-implemented with more robust customizable tabs. A new location-based channel lets players near a planet chat with others in the vicinity, automatically switching channels as they move between areas. The team also entered the discovery phase for a reworked Friends app.\n\nCreature Content\nIn June, the Creature team worked on various improvements to the existing behaviors of the valakkar family. Work on the apex sand variant is still underway, with the team refining the gameplay to provide a better experience to players in ships.\n\nPre-production for a brand-new creature family began, with exploration around visual identity, silhouettes, combat legibility, and gameplay archetypes going through various rounds of iteration.\n\nEconomy\nLast month, the Economy team evaluated the economic data from the Alpha 4.8 release and worked to improve some of the underlying systems, such as repair and reclaim. This will allow outliers to be more reasonably priced and the systems to work more intuitively.\n\nMission Design\nProgress continued on Siege of Orison, with the Mission team pushing the boundaries of the technology and working through limitations as they came up.\n\nThe upcoming Battaglia missions received polish throughout June, too, with improvement plans being made to ensure the devs achieve the experience they want.\n\nFollowing the recent armor rebalance, which changed the tags ships use to spawn in combat missions, the team are now beginning to rebalance the mission content, with the first being the Defend Ship archetype.\n\nNarrative\nNarrative started the month working with Mission Design on several parallel events that are scattered across upcoming patches. This will be in tandem with the narrative designers, who will help generate placeholder versions of any scripted lines so reviews are more reflective of the final experience. This also includes initial passes on mission text, objectives, and markers to further provide context and direction.\n\nNarrative also started to break down future patches to understand what additional content might be needed from a performance capture or voiceover perspective. In addition to this, the team continued their evergreen tasks of writing names and descriptions for new items, armor pieces, weapons, ships, and paints.\n\nOnline Technology\nOver the past month, the Live Tools team made significant progress across all of their internal tools, wrapping up several long-running projects while shipping a steady stream of updates and fixes.\n\nThe biggest was the completion of two major overhauls to Hex, the internal platform used by Player Support and operations staff. The first was a full visual and experience redesign called Hex 4.0, which established a fresh look and feel that will guide all future development on the platform.\n\nThe second was an expanded set of player investigation tools, giving support teams richer information and faster ways to look into player accounts, track item ownership history, and manage entitlements. Multiple Hex releases also went out during this period, delivering new features, improvements, and critical fixes, including security patches to access management and backend components.\n\nFor Bootstrap (the tool that helps developers quickly set up and configure their local work environments), the team continued to resolve reliability issues. Moreover, they advanced the design phase of a larger overhaul aimed at making the overall developer experience significantly smoother.\n\nThe devs continued to improve how crashes are captured and reported. The improvements made the data richer and more actionable for those investigating issues. Panic Switch, the live incident management tool, also received ongoing polish and bug fixes. For instance, the completion of a configuration migration that had been in progress for some time. The team additionally began work on automatically handling crash reports tied to a known hardware issue affecting a specific generation of Intel processors. This will reduce the manual effort needed from operations staff to triage those incidents.\n\nThe Online Services team resolved over 30 bugs across two-weekly cycles and focused on a mix of upcoming player-facing features and live game stability work.\n\nThe biggest area of active development was Item Recovery (also known as Item Imprint), the long-awaited feature that will allow players to reclaim items lost due to bugs or crashes. Online Services completed a key alignment session with the UI team to nail down how the individual item claim flow will work. This includes how the game handles a player's full list of owned items and lets them selectively recover what's missing.\n\nSignificant work also went into addressing stability issues with the game's mission and contract systems. Dedicated design and technical review sessions were held, and a formal optimization effort was created to rebuild the contract generation process in a more efficient way.\n\nThe Global Database Sharding work, which improves how player data is distributed across servers at scale, was completed. The team also moved deeper into the discovery and design phase for the future Crafting and Refining system. They held multiple sessions to resolve complex questions around how crafted items interact with player-owned equipment, insurance, and persistent item upgrades.\n\nR&D\nIn June, further progress was made to improve the look of gas clouds. Support for a density-based LUT to recolor gas clouds was added, and the phase function that controls how light is scattered was improved. Moreover, the min\/max raymarch path was simplified and optimized.\n\nFocus then switched back to ground fog. The new model, which was finalized earlier this year, was added into production. As a finishing touch, support for local height as well as density was added. This is cheaper to evaluate and render, extends the visible range, and improves the modelling aspect of ground fog and its lighting. It will also self-shadow as well as cast shadows like rain volumes and clouds. Part of this work includes optimizations for the atmosphere raymarcher. Lastly, broken sub-object culling was fixed.\n\nVFX\nIn June, the VFX team finished the last of their Alpha 4.8 content work by giving the Railen and Tyilui a full pass.\n\n\u201cThe alien visuals are always fun to work on and the images attached definitely show why!\u201d VFX Team\n\nBeyond Alpha 4.8, VFX also started their pass on Siege of Orison to provide high-impact atmospheric visuals to help elevate the already intense mission and locations. Work also began on upcoming weapons and vehicles.","de_DE":"PU Monthly Report\nJune 2026\nThe PU Monthly Report is back, this time detailing all the development progress made throughout June. Read on for the latest from AI Features & Tech, Ships, Community, Core Gameplay, Mission Design, Narrative, and more.\n\nAI Content\nIn June, the AI Content team continued to support several initiatives for Alpha 4.9. They also worked alongside Mission Design to set up comms calls and NPCs for several upcoming missions and locations.\n\nAI Content then supported a performance-capture shoot to ensure that the content will flow seamlessly once the audio is mastered and animations are solved. Alongside this, the team planned out some Narrative-driven initiatives for new behaviors and directions to explore.\n\nAI (Features & Tech)\nLast month saw AI Features & Tech fix an issue with Super Heavy NPCs not being able to use their miniguns. Some Human AI issues were fixed too, including NPCs continuing to fire at targets they could not see.\n\nFor the apex valakkar, the devs introduced the ability to constrain it to an area while avoiding another. It also received laser and EMP attacks, gained the ability to switch between attacks, and improvements were made to surface sound detection. For the Yormandi, a bug causing it to get stuck in reactions was fixed.\n\nAlthough not yet integrated into the PU, improvements were made to the flight AI for fleeing behind objects and counter-chasing behaviors, and updates were made to the general Flight behavior.\n\nAnimation\nThe Animation team fleshed out animations for the apex valakkar while planning for the next round of creatures. They also worked on the mission-giver Battaglia, both in her physical location and when spoken to over comms.\n\nArt (Characters)\nThe Character Art team spent the month working on a new armor set, mission rewards, updates to the Nine Tails gang, and other upcoming items. Support for the StarWear initiative continued too. Alongside this, the Concept Art team progressed with a new combat armor.\n\nArt (Ships)\nIn the UK, the Ships team finalized and launched the Gatac Railen and Tyilui. They then turned their attention to another Grey's Market ship, which was parked last year due to other priorities, beginning by ensuring nothing had degraded since it was last worked on.\n\nFurther work was done for the Liberator, including integrating and repurposing numerous Anvil kit pieces from recent ships, such as the Asgard and Paladin, which significantly reduces the amount of required new content.\n\nMore artists moved onto the RSI Galaxy following the release of the recent alien ships, helping progress across all areas.\n\nTwo new ground vehicle variants progressed quickly down the pipeline. One successfully passed a combined whitebox and greybox gate review, while the other is rapidly approaching its whitebox gate review.\n\nFour unannounced ships progressed too. The first, a new fighter, passed its whitebox gate review and will continue to have its geometry refined as part of the greybox phase, in preparation for November.\n\nThe second, a new ship from a Xi'an manufacturer designed to fulfill a generalist role, entered pre-production.\n\nThe third progressed toward its LOD0 gate. As part of this, the team added detail across the hull and ensured the animated parts don\u2019t interfere with each other.\n\nThe fourth had its greybox gate review. Following this, adjustments were made to its component and weapon locations. The Mo-cap team is currently preparing to tackle the complicated animations required for this ship.\n\nFinally, the North American team continued to move the Kraken toward its greybox gate review, with a focus on utilizing the finalized Drake kit from the Ironclad. The initial lighting pass was done to set the tone across the ship.\n\nArt (Weapons)\nIn June, the Weapons team continued through the final phase of production on a new large-caliber weapon. In addition, they pushed forward with content for upcoming patches and numerous weapon paints for various upcoming events.\n\nThe team\u2019s ongoing material polish passes and updates continued, too, and they\u2019re looking forward to upcoming tech that will require cross-team collaboration.\n\nCommunity\nIn June, the Community team kicked off Pride Month with the Show Us Your Colors Celebration contest, inviting players to express their creativity in honor of the myriad colorful ways our community shines. The team also published the May PU Monthly Report and prepared for the many events this month had in store.\n\nThe Community team then supported the release of Alpha 4.8.1, an update that introduced new missions and additional content to the game. They published a Player-to-Player Trade Update detailing recent changes designed to streamline in-game trading while limiting the potential for exploits. They also maintained a Known Issues thread to track which issues were being actively investigated, awaiting implementation, or already in progress. The thread was updated regularly as development addressed them. Throughout and after the release, the team kept a close eye on player feedback and sentiment, making sure development stayed informed of any emerging issues.\n\nAs Alien Week made its yearly return, the team provided a helpful Catch All thread highlighting the otherworldly experiences this event included. They published a Q&A for the new Gatac Tyilui and a Xeno Craft Challenge community contest, encouraging participants to show how the alien cultures of Star Citizen have inspired them.\n\nThe Bar Citizen World Tour shifted into high gear in June with International Bar Citizen Weekend, with the Community team hosting this year's events in Austin, Frankfurt, Montreal, and Manchester. Attendees received a Shattered Vanduul Lance to display in their hangar, with more chances to pick one up as the tour continues to new locations throughout the year.\n\n\u201cMeeting the community in person and coming together over our shared love of the \u2018verse is what Bar Citizen is all about. With many stops planned across the globe for 2026, we hope to see you there!\u201d Community Team\n\nThe team also kept up their regular cadence of This Week in Star Citizen and bi-weekly Roadmap updates to round out the month\u2019s many activities.\n\nCore Gameplay\nIn June, the Core Gameplay team shifted focus to a dedicated bug-fixing push alongside the Player Experience and QA teams. Much of the month was spent identifying the root causes of issues affecting day-to-day gameplay, including problems with hangar and freight-elevator flow, quantum travel, Starmap routing, and vehicles being falsely destroyed or flagged for claim.\n\nAlongside this, the team kept moving forward on a range of content, technology, and feature initiatives.\n\nThe upcoming Apocalypse Arms heavy machine gun received support for magazines mounted to the Super Heavy suit's backpack. Players can now load magazines into the backpack by hand, even when it's worn by another player, and empty magazines now eject automatically. This work also prompted a smaller rework of explosion damage so that it spreads more evenly across body parts, plus fixes for the ammo count display and magazines failing to eject correctly.\n\nSupporting the HMG also required changes to the melee system to handle different buttstock-strike damage values, which fixed a bug where they weren't dealing damage at all. Separately, holographic previews for tractor-beamed items now use each item's attachable offset where available, making their appearance more accurate.\n\nFor Item Recovery, the team finished a basic version of the Individual Item Claim mode and began work on the full version. Ship paints can now be bricked and recovered like other components. Fixes went in for bricked ships that remained flyable after a full component swap, and for loadouts not being respected after a claim. Claim timer improvements also continued. To cut down on unnecessary claims, ships destroyed while inside a hangar can now be claimed for free.\n\nFor StarWear, a new tool validates and repairs player and NPC loadouts, catching the setup errors that would otherwise break compatibility. The team also added clothing prerequisites for certain armors. For example, the Caldera Novikov suit may require a specific clothing item to be worn first. Work also began on StarWear's UI, which took several iterations with UX Design to get right given the complexity of the equipment rules. New additions include a blocked state that tells players when an item can't be equipped because another item is in the way, indicators for whether a piece is spaceworthy, and an improved weight bar at the top of the inventory.\n\nUpdates to several core systems were made for Starchitect, which will fundamentally change how designers place locations and sandbox content across planets. Now, harvestables and loot are context-aware of their surrounding location and environment, so designers can match loot to the environment more easily. For instance, instead of manually placing outlaw-specific loot boxes, the system will now detect that a location is outlaw-controlled and select the right loot type automatically. Crafting is undergoing similar changes for Starchitect compatibility, and the Mission System required significant rework so the designers can set up mission locations and contracts at a much larger scale. Freight elevators and security systems are now Starchitect-compatible as well.\n\nThis procedural shift also triggered a broader review of core gameplay systems, so the team rewrote how nav-points are handled and accessed to ensure any system reading that data keeps working even when a location is fully streamed out. This will allow Starchitect locations to appear correctly on the Starmap, be routed to, show up in the quantum travel HUD, and support location inventories for freight elevators,\n\nFor the Command Module, the team provided heavy post-release support, addressing player-reported bugs across hangar and air-traffic control interactions, damage handling, quantum travel markers, locked doors, camera override, Starmap routing, physics collisions, server transition issues, room atmosphere, and more.\n\nAhead of Tech Preview and player testing, the team fixed critical instancing bugs, including players losing ownership of their instance (causing it to despawn) and players being incorrectly moved into someone else's instance. Eviction logic was also added so a player kicked from a party gets teleported to a safe location outside the instance.\n\nTo support the reworked Siege of Orison, Core Gameplay gave the designers a way to assign NPCs to defend specific areas, removing the need for complex spawn-closet setups inside instances. The designers can now also set custom respawn locations. For example, sending a player to the nearest medical facility after completing an objective, functioning as a checkpoint system. This is especially valuable for long-form content like Siege of Orison.\n\nFor Transport, shuttles can now be gated behind mission logic, matching functionality already available in the legacy system.

Work on the apex sand variant is still underway, with the team refining the gameplay to provide a better experience to players in ships.\n\nPre-production for a brand-new creature family began, with exploration around visual identity, silhouettes, combat legibility, and gameplay archetypes going through various rounds of iteration.\n\nEconomy\nLast month, the Economy team evaluated the economic data from the Alpha 4.8 release and worked to improve some of the underlying systems, such as repair and reclaim. This will allow outliers to be more reasonably priced and the systems to work more intuitively.\n\nMission Design\nProgress continued on Siege of Orison, with the Mission team pushing the boundaries of the technology and working through limitations as they came up.\n\nThe upcoming Battaglia missions received polish throughout June, too, with improvement plans being made to ensure the devs achieve the experience they want.\n\nFollowing the recent armor rebalance, which changed the tags ships use to spawn in combat missions, the team are now beginning to rebalance the mission content, with the first being the Defend Ship archetype.\n\nNarrative\nNarrative started the month working with Mission Design on several parallel events that are scattered across upcoming patches. This will be in tandem with the narrative designers, who will help generate placeholder versions of any scripted lines so reviews are more reflective of the final experience. This also includes initial passes on mission text, objectives, and markers to further provide context and direction.\n\nNarrative also started to break down future patches to understand what additional content might be needed from a performance capture or voiceover perspective. In addition to this, the team continued their evergreen tasks of writing names and descriptions for new items, armor pieces, weapons, ships, and paints.\n\nOnline Technology\nOver the past month, the Live Tools team made significant progress across all of their internal tools, wrapping up several long-running projects while shipping a steady stream of updates and fixes.\n\nThe biggest was the completion of two major overhauls to Hex, the internal platform used by Player Support and operations staff. The first was a full visual and experience redesign called Hex 4.0, which established a fresh look and feel that will guide all future development on the platform.\n\nThe second was an expanded set of player investigation tools, giving support teams richer information and faster ways to look into player accounts, track item ownership history, and manage entitlements. Multiple Hex releases also went out during this period, delivering new features, improvements, and critical fixes, including security patches to access management and backend components.\n\nFor Bootstrap (the tool that helps developers quickly set up and configure their local work environments), the team continued to resolve reliability issues. Moreover, they advanced the design phase of a larger overhaul aimed at making the overall developer experience significantly smoother.\n\nThe devs continued to improve how crashes are captured and reported. The improvements made the data richer and more actionable for those investigating issues. Panic Switch, the live incident management tool, also received ongoing polish and bug fixes. For instance, the completion of a configuration migration that had been in progress for some time. The team additionally began work on automatically handling crash reports tied to a known hardware issue affecting a specific generation of Intel processors. This will reduce the manual effort needed from operations staff to triage those incidents.\n\nThe Online Services team resolved over 30 bugs across two-weekly cycles and focused on a mix of upcoming player-facing features and live game stability work.\n\nThe biggest area of active development was Item Recovery (also known as Item Imprint), the long-awaited feature that will allow players to reclaim items lost due to bugs or crashes. Online Services completed a key alignment session with the UI team to nail down how the individual item claim flow will work. This includes how the game handles a player's full list of owned items and lets them selectively recover what's missing.\n\nSignificant work also went into addressing stability issues with the game's mission and contract systems. Dedicated design and technical review sessions were held, and a formal optimization effort was created to rebuild the contract generation process in a more efficient way.\n\nThe Global Database Sharding work, which improves how player data is distributed across servers at scale, was completed. The team also moved deeper into the discovery and design phase for the future Crafting and Refining system. They held multiple sessions to resolve complex questions around how crafted items interact with player-owned equipment, insurance, and persistent item upgrades.\n\nR&D\nIn June, further progress was made to improve the look of gas clouds. Support for a density-based LUT to recolor gas clouds was added, and the phase function that controls how light is scattered was improved. Moreover, the min\/max raymarch path was simplified and optimized.\n\nFocus then switched back to ground fog. The new model, which was finalized earlier this year, was added into production. As a finishing touch, support for local height as well as density was added. This is cheaper to evaluate and render, extends the visible range, and improves the modelling aspect of ground fog and its lighting. It will also self-shadow as well as cast shadows like rain volumes and clouds. Part of this work includes optimizations for the atmosphere raymarcher. Lastly, broken sub-object culling was fixed.\n\nVFX\nIn June, the VFX team finished the last of their Alpha 4.8 content work by giving the Railen and Tyilui a full pass.\n\n\u201cThe alien visuals are always fun to work on and the images attached definitely show why!\u201d VFX Team\n\nBeyond Alpha 4.8, VFX also started their pass on Siege of Orison to provide high-impact atmospheric visuals to help elevate the already intense mission and locations. Work also began on upcoming weapons and vehicles.","fr_FR":"PU Monthly Report\nJune 2026\nThe PU Monthly Report is back, this time detailing all the development progress made throughout June. Read on for the latest from AI Features & Tech, Ships, Community, Core Gameplay, Mission Design, Narrative, and more.\n\nAI Content\nIn June, the AI Content team continued to support several initiatives for Alpha 4.9. They also worked alongside Mission Design to set up comms calls and NPCs for several upcoming missions and locations.\n\nAI Content then supported a performance-capture shoot to ensure that the content will flow seamlessly once the audio is mastered and animations are solved. Alongside this, the team planned out some Narrative-driven initiatives for new behaviors and directions to explore.\n\nAI (Features & Tech)\nLast month saw AI Features & Tech fix an issue with Super Heavy NPCs not being able to use their miniguns. Some Human AI issues were fixed too, including NPCs continuing to fire at targets they could not see.\n\nFor the apex valakkar, the devs introduced the ability to constrain it to an area while avoiding another. It also received laser and EMP attacks, gained the ability to switch between attacks, and improvements were made to surface sound detection. For the Yormandi, a bug causing it to get stuck in reactions was fixed.\n\nAlthough not yet integrated into the PU, improvements were made to the flight AI for fleeing behind objects and counter-chasing behaviors, and updates were made to the general Flight behavior.\n\nAnimation\nThe Animation team fleshed out animations for the apex valakkar while planning for the next round of creatures. They also worked on the mission-giver Battaglia, both in her physical location and when spoken to over comms.\n\nArt (Characters)\nThe Character Art team spent the month working on a new armor set, mission rewards, updates to the Nine Tails gang, and other upcoming items. Support for the StarWear initiative continued too. Alongside this, the Concept Art team progressed with a new combat armor.\n\nArt (Ships)\nIn the UK, the Ships team finalized and launched the Gatac Railen and Tyilui. They then turned their attention to another Grey's Market ship, which was parked last year due to other priorities, beginning by ensuring nothing had degraded since it was last worked on.\n\nFurther work was done for the Liberator, including integrating and repurposing numerous Anvil kit pieces from recent ships, such as the Asgard and Paladin, which significantly reduces the amount of required new content.\n\nMore artists moved onto the RSI Galaxy following the release of the recent alien ships, helping progress across all areas.\n\nTwo new ground vehicle variants progressed quickly down the pipeline. One successfully passed a combined whitebox and greybox gate review, while the other is rapidly approaching its whitebox gate review.\n\nFour unannounced ships progressed too. The first, a new fighter, passed its whitebox gate review and will continue to have its geometry refined as part of the greybox phase, in preparation for November.\n\nThe second, a new ship from a Xi'an manufacturer designed to fulfill a generalist role, entered pre-production.\n\nThe third progressed toward its LOD0 gate. As part of this, the team added detail across the hull and ensured the animated parts don\u2019t interfere with each other.\n\nThe fourth had its greybox gate review. Following this, adjustments were made to its component and weapon locations. The Mo-cap team is currently preparing to tackle the complicated animations required for this ship.\n\nFinally, the North American team continued to move the Kraken toward its greybox gate review, with a focus on utilizing the finalized Drake kit from the Ironclad. The initial lighting pass was done to set the tone across the ship.\n\nArt (Weapons)\nIn June, the Weapons team continued through the final phase of production on a new large-caliber weapon. In addition, they pushed forward with content for upcoming patches and numerous weapon paints for various upcoming events.\n\nThe team\u2019s ongoing material polish passes and updates continued, too, and they\u2019re looking forward to upcoming tech that will require cross-team collaboration.\n\nCommunity\nIn June, the Community team kicked off Pride Month with the Show Us Your Colors Celebration contest, inviting players to express their creativity in honor of the myriad colorful ways our community shines. The team also published the May PU Monthly Report and prepared for the many events this month had in store.\n\nThe Community team then supported the release of Alpha 4.8.1, an update that introduced new missions and additional content to the game. They published a Player-to-Player Trade Update detailing recent changes designed to streamline in-game trading while limiting the potential for exploits. They also maintained a Known Issues thread to track which issues were being actively investigated, awaiting implementation, or already in progress. The thread was updated regularly as development addressed them. Throughout and after the release, the team kept a close eye on player feedback and sentiment, making sure development stayed informed of any emerging issues.\n\nAs Alien Week made its yearly return, the team provided a helpful Catch All thread highlighting the otherworldly experiences this event included. They published a Q&A for the new Gatac Tyilui and a Xeno Craft Challenge community contest, encouraging participants to show how the alien cultures of Star Citizen have inspired them.\n\nThe Bar Citizen World Tour shifted into high gear in June with International Bar Citizen Weekend, with the Community team hosting this year's events in Austin, Frankfurt, Montreal, and Manchester. Attendees received a Shattered Vanduul Lance to display in their hangar, with more chances to pick one up as the tour continues to new locations throughout the year.\n\n\u201cMeeting the community in person and coming together over our shared love of the \u2018verse is what Bar Citizen is all about. With many stops planned across the globe for 2026, we hope to see you there!\u201d Community Team\n\nThe team also kept up their regular cadence of This Week in Star Citizen and bi-weekly Roadmap updates to round out the month\u2019s many activities.\n\nCore Gameplay\nIn June, the Core Gameplay team shifted focus to a dedicated bug-fixing push alongside the Player Experience and QA teams. Much of the month was spent identifying the root causes of issues affecting day-to-day gameplay, including problems with hangar and freight-elevator flow, quantum travel, Starmap routing, and vehicles being falsely destroyed or flagged for claim.\n\nAlongside this, the team kept moving forward on a range of content, technology, and feature initiatives.\n\nThe upcoming Apocalypse Arms heavy machine gun received support for magazines mounted to the Super Heavy suit's backpack. Players can now load magazines into the backpack by hand, even when it's worn by another player, and empty magazines now eject automatically. This work also prompted a smaller rework of explosion damage so that it spreads more evenly across body parts, plus fixes for the ammo count display and magazines failing to eject correctly.\n\nSupporting the HMG also required changes to the melee system to handle different buttstock-strike damage values, which fixed a bug where they weren't dealing damage at all. Separately, holographic previews for tractor-beamed items now use each item's attachable offset where available, making their appearance more accurate.\n\nFor Item Recovery, the team finished a basic version of the Individual Item Claim mode and began work on the full version. Ship paints can now be bricked and recovered like other components. Fixes went in for bricked ships that remained flyable after a full component swap, and for loadouts not being respected after a claim. Claim timer improvements also continued. To cut down on unnecessary claims, ships destroyed while inside a hangar can now be claimed for free.\n\nFor StarWear, a new tool validates and repairs player and NPC loadouts, catching the setup errors that would otherwise break compatibility. The team also added clothing prerequisites for certain armors. For example, the Caldera Novikov suit may require a specific clothing item to be worn first. Work also began on StarWear's UI, which took several iterations with UX Design to get right given the complexity of the equipment rules. New additions include a blocked state that tells players when an item can't be equipped because another item is in the way, indicators for whether a piece is spaceworthy, and an improved weight bar at the top of the inventory.\n\nUpdates to several core systems were made for Starchitect, which will fundamentally change how designers place locations and sandbox content across planets. Now, harvestables and loot are context-aware of their surrounding location and environment, so designers can match loot to the environment more easily. For instance, instead of manually placing outlaw-specific loot boxes, the system will now detect that a location is outlaw-controlled and select the right loot type automatically. Crafting is undergoing similar changes for Starchitect compatibility, and the Mission System required significant rework so the designers can set up mission locations and contracts at a much larger scale. Freight elevators and security systems are now Starchitect-compatible as well.\n\nThis procedural shift also triggered a broader review of core gameplay systems, so the team rewrote how nav-points are handled and accessed to ensure any system reading that data keeps working even when a location is fully streamed out. This will allow Starchitect locations to appear correctly on the Starmap, be routed to, show up in the quantum travel HUD, and support location inventories for freight elevators,\n\nFor the Command Module, the team provided heavy post-release support, addressing player-reported bugs across hangar and air-traffic control interactions, damage handling, quantum travel markers, locked doors, camera override, Starmap routing, physics collisions, server transition issues, room atmosphere, and more.\n\nAhead of Tech Preview and player testing, the team fixed critical instancing bugs, including players losing ownership of their instance (causing it to despawn) and players being incorrectly moved into someone else's instance. Eviction logic was also added so a player kicked from a party gets teleported to a safe location outside the instance.\n\nTo support the reworked Siege of Orison, Core Gameplay gave the designers a way to assign NPCs to defend specific areas, removing the need for complex spawn-closet setups inside instances. The designers can now also set custom respawn locations. For example, sending a player to the nearest medical facility after completing an objective, functioning as a checkpoint system. This is especially valuable for long-form content like Siege of Orison.\n\nFor Transport, shuttles can now be gated behind mission logic, matching functionality already available in the legacy system. The team cleaned up code for elevator carriages with a single door and completed the major work to bring vehicle elevators under the Transport system, replacing the convoluted elevator setups many vehicles currently rely on.\n\nWork then continued on the toolset the designers use to build mission content, with numerous workflow fixes and optimizations. The devs also began building a Mission Board UI Provider component to support local interactable mission boards, first planned for use at new Starchitect locations. Progress also continued on bringing back physical mission givers. Players can now receive a one-time comms call from a mission giver when they meet certain conditions, such as entering a specific star system. Mission delivery directly to an instance is now supported and is used by various Battaglia missions.\n\nTo close out some of the work on the Ship Hangar Services feature, the team added support for missile containers when stacking missiles on a cargo grid.\n\nFinally, for Social and Orgs, chat was re-implemented with more robust customizable tabs. A new location-based channel lets players near a planet chat with others in the vicinity, automatically switching channels as they move between areas. The team also entered the discovery phase for a reworked Friends app.\n\nCreature Content\nIn June, the Creature team worked on various improvements to the existing behaviors of the valakkar family. Work on the apex sand variant is still underway, with the team refining the gameplay to provide a better experience to players in ships.\n\nPre-production for a brand-new creature family began, with exploration around visual identity, silhouettes, combat legibility, and gameplay archetypes going through various rounds of iteration.\n\nEconomy\nLast month, the Economy team evaluated the economic data from the Alpha 4.8 release and worked to improve some of the underlying systems, such as repair and reclaim. This will allow outliers to be more reasonably priced and the systems to work more intuitively.\n\nMission Design\nProgress continued on Siege of Orison, with the Mission team pushing the boundaries of the technology and working through limitations as they came up.\n\nThe upcoming Battaglia missions received polish throughout June, too, with improvement plans being made to ensure the devs achieve the experience they want.\n\nFollowing the recent armor rebalance, which changed the tags ships use to spawn in combat missions, the team are now beginning to rebalance the mission content, with the first being the Defend Ship archetype.\n\nNarrative\nNarrative started the month working with Mission Design on several parallel events that are scattered across upcoming patches. This will be in tandem with the narrative designers, who will help generate placeholder versions of any scripted lines so reviews are more reflective of the final experience. This also includes initial passes on mission text, objectives, and markers to further provide context and direction.\n\nNarrative also started to break down future patches to understand what additional content might be needed from a performance capture or voiceover perspective.

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.\n\nJust a reminder: The 1.0 column showcases features and content planned for inclusion in or before Star Citizen 1.0. This means you may not have to wait for the 1.0 release to experience them. As features\/content in the 1.0 column become ready, they will migrate left into a point patch column for release.\n\nBe sure to check back every two weeks for the latest updates.\n\nWith that, let\u2019s dive into this week\u2019s Roadmap Roundup!\n\n-CIG Community Team\n\n\n\nNotable Changes: July 1, 2026\nWe\u2019d like to share an update on the upcoming Alpha 4.9.0 release, as well as our ongoing initiative to address many of the common bugs and issues that both new and veteran players encounter on a regular basis.\n\nAs mentioned during a recent Star Citizen Live, we've reassessed our bug prioritization process following the release of Alpha 4.8.0. As part of that effort, we've refined how we prioritize bugs, with increased involvement from Senior Leadership alongside our Development, QA, Player Experience, Community, and other supporting teams to help ensure we're focusing on the issues that will make the biggest impact.\n\nWe're hopeful this approach means you'll feel the difference: more issues fixed, and your gameplay sessions noticeably improving.\n\nBased on reports from the Issue Council, Spectrum, Reddit, direct player feedback, and other sources, we have identified nearly 100 issues that significantly impact core gameplay systems and quality of life, covering areas including:\n\nInstanced Hangars, ATC, and Ship Retrieval\n\nFreight Elevators\n\nQuantum Travel and Starmap Routing\n\nInventory UI and Interaction\n\nShips being falsely marked as lost or destroyed\n\nDocking\n\nShip and FPS AI\n\nLogin Flow\n\nExploits\n\nIn addition, we're tracking a broader list of quality-of-life issues frequently reported by new players. While many veteran players have learned workarounds for common problems, they shouldn't have to. As we continue working toward making Star Citizen as welcoming as possible for new players, we're also addressing many of the issues that commonly affect the first hour of gameplay.\n\nFor those who remember the state of Transit in early 2025, we're applying a similar philosophy here. At one point, months of bug fixing produced only incremental improvements, so we shifted our focus to developing new debugging tools for QA that could identify root causes rather than simply addressing symptoms. The result is what many would consider a far more robust Transit system today.\n\nFreight Elevators are a good example of why this matters. Despite 70 to 80 fixes since last summer, players still don't feel the system is as stable or reliable as it should be. Much of that work addressed individual symptoms rather than the underlying causes. Freight Elevators interact with many other gameplay systems, creating a large surface area for issues, but as a core gameplay feature, they need to be dependable at all times.\n\nSo far, we've resolved roughly 20% of the issues on our current priority list. We don't expect to complete every fix in time for Alpha 4.9.0, but we're confident this more methodical, root-cause-driven approach is the right path forward for systems of Star Citizen's scale and complexity.\n\nNaturally, an initiative like this comes with trade-offs. It requires dedicated time from several of the teams responsible for these core systems, time that would otherwise be spent developing new features or supporting additional content. As a result, we've temporarily paused work on a small number of features while we focus on improving the stability of these foundational systems.\n\nWith that in mind, we're moving Siege of Orison and all instance-related content out of Alpha 4.9.0 and into a new 4.10 scheduled for mid-August. These additional four weeks will allow us to continue hardening the features, and technology and related deliverables planned for that content.\n\nInstancing, in particular, introduces a significant number of new systems, backend services, and gameplay mechanics that require additional validation before we're comfortable bringing them to Live. Based on the recent Tech Preview builds, we believe more work is still needed.\n\nWith these changes, Alpha 4.9 in mid-July will still deliver a variety of re-prioritized bug fixes, optimizations, quality of life improvements and new content we're excited to get into your hands as quickly as possible, reflective of this new initiative that continues beyond this month's release into 4.10 in August, and 4.11 this September.\n\nAs always, thank you for continuing to report issues through the Issue Council. Your reports, along with your feedback on Spectrum and through the Help Center, remain invaluable in helping us identify, investigate, and resolve issues.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelease View\nAlpha 4.9\n\"Support the Miners\" Mission Pack\n\nImplementing a new set of repeatable missions from Recco Battaglia, an independent mining logistics coordinator based in Levski.

As part of that effort, we've refined how we prioritize bugs, with increased involvement from Senior Leadership alongside our Development, QA, Player Experience, Community, and other supporting teams to help ensure we're focusing on the issues that will make the biggest impact.\n\nWe're hopeful this approach means you'll feel the difference: more issues fixed, and your gameplay sessions noticeably improving.\n\nBased on reports from the Issue Council, Spectrum, Reddit, direct player feedback, and other sources, we have identified nearly 100 issues that significantly impact core gameplay systems and quality of life, covering areas including:\n\nInstanced Hangars, ATC, and Ship Retrieval\n\nFreight Elevators\n\nQuantum Travel and Starmap Routing\n\nInventory UI and Interaction\n\nShips being falsely marked as lost or destroyed\n\nDocking\n\nShip and FPS AI\n\nLogin Flow\n\nExploits\n\nIn addition, we're tracking a broader list of quality-of-life issues frequently reported by new players. While many veteran players have learned workarounds for common problems, they shouldn't have to. As we continue working toward making Star Citizen as welcoming as possible for new players, we're also addressing many of the issues that commonly affect the first hour of gameplay.\n\nFor those who remember the state of Transit in early 2025, we're applying a similar philosophy here. At one point, months of bug fixing produced only incremental improvements, so we shifted our focus to developing new debugging tools for QA that could identify root causes rather than simply addressing symptoms. The result is what many would consider a far more robust Transit system today.\n\nFreight Elevators are a good example of why this matters. Despite 70 to 80 fixes since last summer, players still don't feel the system is as stable or reliable as it should be. Much of that work addressed individual symptoms rather than the underlying causes. Freight Elevators interact with many other gameplay systems, creating a large surface area for issues, but as a core gameplay feature, they need to be dependable at all times.\n\nSo far, we've resolved roughly 20% of the issues on our current priority list. We don't expect to complete every fix in time for Alpha 4.9.0, but we're confident this more methodical, root-cause-driven approach is the right path forward for systems of Star Citizen's scale and complexity.\n\nNaturally, an initiative like this comes with trade-offs. It requires dedicated time from several of the teams responsible for these core systems, time that would otherwise be spent developing new features or supporting additional content. As a result, we've temporarily paused work on a small number of features while we focus on improving the stability of these foundational systems.\n\nWith that in mind, we're moving Siege of Orison and all instance-related content out of Alpha 4.9.0 and into a new 4.10 scheduled for mid-August. These additional four weeks will allow us to continue hardening the features, and technology and related deliverables planned for that content.\n\nInstancing, in particular, introduces a significant number of new systems, backend services, and gameplay mechanics that require additional validation before we're comfortable bringing them to Live. Based on the recent Tech Preview builds, we believe more work is still needed.\n\nWith these changes, Alpha 4.9 in mid-July will still deliver a variety of re-prioritized bug fixes, optimizations, quality of life improvements and new content we're excited to get into your hands as quickly as possible, reflective of this new initiative that continues beyond this month's release into 4.10 in August, and 4.11 this September.\n\nAs always, thank you for continuing to report issues through the Issue Council. Your reports, along with your feedback on Spectrum and through the Help Center, remain invaluable in helping us identify, investigate, and resolve issues.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelease View\nAlpha 4.9\n\"Support the Miners\" Mission Pack\n\nImplementing a new set of repeatable missions from Recco Battaglia, an independent mining logistics coordinator based in Levski.

The Gatac Tyilui brings Xi'an engineering principles to a hull unlike anything Human shipbuilders have conceived, anchored by a zero-gravity hangar. A spectacular original in every sense.\n\nWe asked the team a few questions about the Tyilui and what it means to operate one. Here are the answers, straight from the devs themselves.\n\n1. The Tyilui arrives alongside the Railen, introducing two Gatac ships at once. While they both share a similar interior and weapons, is the Tyilui a variant of the Railen, and what sets them apart?\nThe Tyilui and Railen share some of the interior, mostly the habitation level, but the other levels have significant differences to benefit the differing roles of the two ships. Externally, while the front profile is similar, the sides and rear of the Tyilui have changes to support the snub hangar, and as such, it is not a variant of the Railen.\n\n2. What kind of experience were you aiming to deliver with the Tyilui, and what feelings or moments are you most excited for players to experience when stepping on board?\nWe want the Tyilui to feel even more alien than the Railen, with the addition of the multi-directional gravity hangar at the rear giving a very different traversal experience to other ships. The hangar space allows players to walk on any of the four pads and control the rear hangar door independently and launch out.\n\n3. Where does the Tyilui sit within the current ecosystem of ships, and what sets it apart from anything available so far?\nThe Tyilui is the first dedicated snub-fighter carrier. While other ships do this indirectly, it\u2019s not their sole focus. The Tyilui packs the ability to carry four snub fighters, 96 SCU of cargo, and hangar services in a compact package.\n\n1. What can a solo pilot expect from the Tyilui, and how does that change with a bigger crew?\nAs a solo-crewed ship, the Tyilui allows you to carry a selection of ships for use. Obviously, more players aboard allow for more opportunities to launch and utilize more ships in parallel.\n\n2. Four snub pads give players serious flexibility. What can be stored there, and what does that mean for the Tyilui in action?\nThe Tyilui\u2019s primary role is carrying snub fighters, such as the Fury series, Pitbull, and Merlin. This allows those ships to partake in battles well beyond their home location and to add firepower to any encounter.\n\n3. With pilot weapons, manned and remote turrets, missiles, and deployable snubs all in play, how do these layers come together in combat, and what does it mean for how the Tyilui handles a fight?\nThe wide variety of offensive and defensive weaponry allows the Tyilui and its crew to both attack targets as a single unit or as a mini fleet. It also allows the ship to defend itself in the event the snub fighters are otherwise engaged or unavailable.\n\n1. Beyond transport, the Tyilui actively supports its snubs through repair, rearm, and refuel capabilities. What does sustaining those ships look like in practice, and how does the Tyilui's cargo capacity support that role?\nThe 96 SCU cargo capacity supports both cargo operations and the resources needed for the Tyilui's repair, rearm, and refuel functionality. This means crews can turn their snubs around directly from the Tyilui without needing to return to a station between sorties. For a small group, that self-sufficiency changes the scope of what they can accomplish together, keeping them in the fight far longer than they could manage without a dedicated support vessel.\n\n2. How does the Tyilui handle, and what should players expect from its flight profile for a ship of its size and role?\nThe Tyilui is a medium industrial ship, but also embodies certain characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It\u2019s designed to operate as both a cargo hauler and a carrier of smaller vessels, though its military-oriented role sets it apart from the Railen. Therefore, it trades a fraction of agility for greater resilience.\n\nWhere the Tyilui stands out is its lateral and vertical thrust profile. While its forward acceleration is closer to the heavy end of the archetype, its mobility is better for its weight, offering responsiveness more typical of medium industrial ships.\n\nBut this does have consequences, as players should expect some oversteer. The result is a ship with an interesting personality: the mass and forward drive of a heavy industrial, the maneuverability of a medium one, and the structural strength of something built for contested environments.\n\n3. What kind of spaces and amenities can players expect on board?\nThe Tyilui has a comprehensive set of amenities aboard with a dedicated sleeping area, separate mess hall, and bathroom facilities.\n\n1. The zero-gravity core and walking on walls inside a spaceship are not something players have experienced before.

The main benefit of this is that it allows us to have lots of surface area while also keeping the space open to allow easier access for any snub ships stationed within.\n\n2. The Tyilui reflects both Gatac\u2019s design philosophy and its place within Xi\u2019an culture. How did those influences shape the ship, and what does it say about Gatac as a manufacturer going forward?\nYou can see the influence of Xi\u2019an technology and culture throughout the ship. Gatac has never shied away from showing its skills with advanced manufacturing techniques, as highlighted by the way it plays with gravity around the ships. For example, the Tyilui\u2019s multi-directional landing pads and 360 wraparound walkway, or how in the communal areas the waterfalls flow with the tapered shape of the walls and not the direction of gravity.\n\nGatac has also used rare, natural materials and shaped them to its will. There are no manufacturing details, few fasteners and fixings; it's all clean, bold, and intentional and shows off the design ethos of Gatac in contrast to our Human manufacturers.\n\nAll Gatac ships give a sense of calm. They pull from that feeling you get when you are in awe of nature. The heavy, oppressive sense of weight you get from walking into a large cave, or when you enter a quiet place of worship and you can feel the power and age of the building around you. This is something Gatac captures in its interior design, with large, flowing forms that connect the ship\u2019s separate areas and help to flow consistently throughout the ship\u2019s many layers. You get a sense of the strength and weight of the ships.\n\nThe Railen and Tyilui account for both Human and Xi\u2019an crews, with the inclusion of Xi\u2019an fermentation pods that dominate the food preparation area and the communal cave-like habitation area that brings calm to the Xi\u2019an while accommodating Human crews with the comfort of individual bed pods.\n\nThe Xi\u2019an maintain their language throughout the ship, and there are very few Human translations except for the most critical of information and systems.\n\nDISCLAIMERThese answers accurately reflect development's intentions at the time of writing, but the company and development team reserve the right to adapt, improve, or change feature and ship designs in response to feedback, playtesting, design revisions, or other considerations to improve balance or the quality of the game overall.","de_DE":"Tyilui\nby Gatac\nFloat, spin, and wind through space aboard the first alien-designed snub carrier in the 'verse. The Gatac Tyilui brings Xi'an engineering principles to a hull unlike anything Human shipbuilders have conceived, anchored by a zero-gravity hangar. A spectacular original in every sense.\n\nWe asked the team a few questions about the Tyilui and what it means to operate one. Here are the answers, straight from the devs themselves.\n\n1. The Tyilui arrives alongside the Railen, introducing two Gatac ships at once. While they both share a similar interior and weapons, is the Tyilui a variant of the Railen, and what sets them apart?\nThe Tyilui and Railen share some of the interior, mostly the habitation level, but the other levels have significant differences to benefit the differing roles of the two ships. Externally, while the front profile is similar, the sides and rear of the Tyilui have changes to support the snub hangar, and as such, it is not a variant of the Railen.\n\n2. What kind of experience were you aiming to deliver with the Tyilui, and what feelings or moments are you most excited for players to experience when stepping on board?\nWe want the Tyilui to feel even more alien than the Railen, with the addition of the multi-directional gravity hangar at the rear giving a very different traversal experience to other ships. The hangar space allows players to walk on any of the four pads and control the rear hangar door independently and launch out.\n\n3. Where does the Tyilui sit within the current ecosystem of ships, and what sets it apart from anything available so far?\nThe Tyilui is the first dedicated snub-fighter carrier. While other ships do this indirectly, it\u2019s not their sole focus. The Tyilui packs the ability to carry four snub fighters, 96 SCU of cargo, and hangar services in a compact package.\n\n1. What can a solo pilot expect from the Tyilui, and how does that change with a bigger crew?\nAs a solo-crewed ship, the Tyilui allows you to carry a selection of ships for use. Obviously, more players aboard allow for more opportunities to launch and utilize more ships in parallel.\n\n2. Four snub pads give players serious flexibility. What can be stored there, and what does that mean for the Tyilui in action?\nThe Tyilui\u2019s primary role is carrying snub fighters, such as the Fury series, Pitbull, and Merlin. This allows those ships to partake in battles well beyond their home location and to add firepower to any encounter.\n\n3. With pilot weapons, manned and remote turrets, missiles, and deployable snubs all in play, how do these layers come together in combat, and what does it mean for how the Tyilui handles a fight?\nThe wide variety of offensive and defensive weaponry allows the Tyilui and its crew to both attack targets as a single unit or as a mini fleet. It also allows the ship to defend itself in the event the snub fighters are otherwise engaged or unavailable.\n\n1. Beyond transport, the Tyilui actively supports its snubs through repair, rearm, and refuel capabilities. What does sustaining those ships look like in practice, and how does the Tyilui's cargo capacity support that role?\nThe 96 SCU cargo capacity supports both cargo operations and the resources needed for the Tyilui's repair, rearm, and refuel functionality. This means crews can turn their snubs around directly from the Tyilui without needing to return to a station between sorties. For a small group, that self-sufficiency changes the scope of what they can accomplish together, keeping them in the fight far longer than they could manage without a dedicated support vessel.\n\n2. How does the Tyilui handle, and what should players expect from its flight profile for a ship of its size and role?\nThe Tyilui is a medium industrial ship, but also embodies certain characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It\u2019s designed to operate as both a cargo hauler and a carrier of smaller vessels, though its military-oriented role sets it apart from the Railen. Therefore, it trades a fraction of agility for greater resilience.\n\nWhere the Tyilui stands out is its lateral and vertical thrust profile. While its forward acceleration is closer to the heavy end of the archetype, its mobility is better for its weight, offering responsiveness more typical of medium industrial ships.\n\nBut this does have consequences, as players should expect some oversteer. The result is a ship with an interesting personality: the mass and forward drive of a heavy industrial, the maneuverability of a medium one, and the structural strength of something built for contested environments.\n\n3. What kind of spaces and amenities can players expect on board?\nThe Tyilui has a comprehensive set of amenities aboard with a dedicated sleeping area, separate mess hall, and bathroom facilities.\n\n1. The zero-gravity core and walking on walls inside a spaceship are not something players have experienced before. What drove that decision, and what can players expect when they step inside?\nThe hangar section is something we spent a lot of time on, ensuring it would feel good and as natural as possible while players walk around the room. The main benefit of this is that it allows us to have lots of surface area while also keeping the space open to allow easier access for any snub ships stationed within.\n\n2.

Last week, we shared a Spectrum post bar highlighting some of the more visibly reported issues in Alpha 4.8.1 and where they currently stand. Since then, the team has been focused on continuing to close these (and many others) out. We'll keep you posted as more fixes are ready for deployment, so keep an eye on Spectrum.\n\nAway from the patch notes and bug reports for a moment, we also had the opportunity to celebrate First Contact Day through International Bar Citizen Weekend.

May saw Alpha 4.8 and DefenseCon hitting the \u2019verse, with many teams spending the month finalizing features for these major releases. Following this, tasks began and continued for the exciting content coming over the next few patches. Read on for all the details.\n\nAI Content\nFollowing the launch of Alpha 4.8, the AI Content team began closing out tasks for Alpha 4.9 and beyond. Alongside the usual bug fixes and ongoing initiatives from the previous months, the team looked into technical fixes to help streamline the process for adding content into the game.\n\n\u201cThe Alpha 4.9 patch is going to be a very important one for the narrative design of the game, as the team is contributing to two very large elements that will lay important foundations for developing narrative in the ultimate 1.0 vision.\u201d AI Content Team\n\nAI (Features & Tech)\nOn the animation side, significant work went toward the mass retargeting of male-to-female combat AI assets, with additional support for unconscious and bleeding-out behaviors. The devs also made TrackViews for an upcoming event and restructured how melee attacks are tweaked for NPCs with large attack sets.\n\nPrototypes were then implemented for the valakkar. For example, the team simplified the setup of burrowing animation types, fixed the path patching to improve movement along dynamically generated positions, and improved the API for tracking damage to NPCs to trigger motive actions. They also refactored how AI-triggered states work and improved debug shortcuts for controlling time and teleporting.\n\nAnimation\nLast month, the Animation team progressed with the apex valakkar, fleshing out various additional attacks and animations. They also captured new enter and exit animations for upcoming ships alongside work for a new full-body mission giver, who will have her own place in the \u2019verse.\n\nThe Facial Animation team processed a significant amount of new content from April\u2019s performance-capture shoot, which will appear in Alpha 4.9. As this content will be split across comms calls and in-person interactions, it was processed at different quality tiers to ensure that everything players see close up will really shine.\n\nThe team are excited to see players\u2019 reactions to the return of Recco Battaglia, as this will be the first instance of an old character returning to the \u2019verse with new content and missions. A lot has changed within the pipeline since her debut, so this will be the first time players will be able to draw immediate comparisons.\n\nFacial Animation also held two performance-capture shoots with the Narrative and the Motion Capture teams, which will cover content for Alpha 4.9 and 4.10.\n\nArt (Ships)\nMay\u2019s DefenseCon saw many of the Ships team\u2019s recent projects flyable in the PU, including the Aegis Tiburon and Hammerhead \u2019gold standard,\u2019 the Origin M80, the MISC Starlite, and the Drake Pitbull, Ironclad, Ironclad Assault, and Command Module. The team also delivered the Vanduul Mauler as part of Tactical Strike Groups alongside numerous flight blades and weapon kits.\n\nElsewhere, the Gatac Railen passed its greybox review before progressing into LOD0, with a combined LOD0 and Final Gate review scheduled for early June. Significant progress was also made on a related-yet-unannounced ship.\n\nFour other upcoming vehicles continued development, too. The first received custom mo-cap for its enter and exit animations, creating unique challenges due to its scale, before its greybox review at the end of the month.\n\nProduction on the second kicked off, with a small team starting work toward the whitebox gate planned for the middle of June.\n\nThe third continued down the pipeline, while the fourth saw the UK team collaborating with their North American counterparts to ensure the art direction aligns with the brand\u2019s other new releases.\n\nWith resources freed up following DefenseCon, pre-production picked up for the Anvil Liberator, with the start of whitebox scheduled for the end of the month. As part of this, an update was made to the interior to allow for quicker entry and exit to the landing pads.\n\nLastly on the UK side, the RSI Galaxy continued through whitebox as further revisions were made to the layout around the central docking collar, habs, bridge, and lift area to ensure clear flow from any direction.\n\nAs mentioned above, the North American team progressed with an unannounced ship, which passed its greybox gate review with flying colors. Following this, the LOD0 phase began, with the ship coming together following a preliminary lighting pass.\n\nFinally, the Drake Kraken continued through its greybox phase, with further changes to the hero rooms to utilize more of the Drake kit used in the Ironclad. This will save both production time and increase the optimization of this huge ship.\n\nArt (Weapons)\nIn May, the Weapons team ensured their content was ready for Alpha 4.8, including the Kastak Arms plasma grenade and UltiFlex Novian crossbow, and a handful of skins for upcoming events.\n\nMeanwhile, the team progressed with a new large-caliber weapon, which is currently in greybox. New tech is also in the works that will require cross-team collaboration over the next couple of months. Material polish passes and updates to existing weapons continued to progress, too.\n\nCommunity\nThe Community team began May by preparing for the launches of Alpha 4.8: Tactical Strike and DefenseCon 2956. Early in the month, they published the April PU Monthly Report followed by an Org Spotlight that presented players with a variety of organizations they could team up with to tackle upcoming content. They also shared updates on the changes to vehicle insurance coming in Alpha 4.8 and announced that the Novian crossbow would arrive with this update.\n\nThe team supported the release of Alpha 4.8 with a catch-all thread highlighting all the features of this major update, along with an FAQ for Tactical Strike Groups. They also launched the latest Twitch Drops for DefenseCon, alongside a dedicated page and an FAQ alerting the community to what to expect at Drake\u2019s big show. As the event drew near, they followed up with a comm-link informing players of the DefenseCon Schedule as well as a Countdown to DefenseCon to keep the community updated.\n\nAs DefenseCon began, the Community team published a Referral Bonus comm-link and hosted a screenshot contest. They also created a Q&A for all the new ships debuting at the event, which was updated as new ships were released, and a catch-all thread keeping the community informed throughout the event.\n\nBoth DefenseCon 2956 and Alpha 4.8 included updates to the New Player Guide and Welcome Back, Pilot pages, keeping players informed of all the recent changes. As always, the team kept up their regular cadence of This Week in Star Citizen and bi-weekly Roadmap updates.\n\nIn addition to all the other events last month, the Bar Citizen World Tour continued in May, with staff attending events in China, France, Korea, Switzerland, and TwitchCon in the Netherlands. The team also invited the community to join them for the International Bar Citizen Weekend in June.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s been an absolute blast seeing everyone and hearing your starfaring stories! We hope to get to know more of you at other upcoming events, such as the International Bar Citizen Weekend, kicking off on June 13!\u201d Community Team\n\nThroughout May, the team closely monitored community sentiment and feedback to ensure development teams had the latest word from players to help shape improvements to both current content and future events. The Community team is also currently working closely with other teams to relaunch a refreshed Welcome Hub for new players, as well as further updates to the Guide System and Spectrum.\n\nEconomy\nAlpha 4.8 saw the introduction of two major economy features: ship insurance adjustments and player-crafted items. Consumable prices were also adjusted and components now have a wider price range, with prices of grade \u2019A\u2019 military components in particular being adjusted upwards to give more of a sense of progression. The devs also increased the sale price of components so that salvagers can capitalize on any high-tier components they come across.\n\nThe data aggregation pipelines were broadened, resulting in several mission archetypes receiving a balance pass based on player behavior data.\n\nTo support future economy updates, the team began standardizing the price and volume brackets of crafting resources. They\u2019re also working on new ways to make the resource, commodity, and trading systems more intuitive and transparent for players.\n\nOn the shop implementation side, the team supported DefenseCon by setting up new shop items, including commemorative hats and t-shirts, ship weapons, flight blades, flight suits, and vehicles. This allowed all the items on display within the expo halls and lobby to physically spawn and be interactive and purchasable. The team even redressed the Coffee-to-Go concession stand to fit the DefenseCon theme.\n\nLastly, with the introduction of flight suits, a pass was done on some of the existing shops across the PU to ensure two of them could be purchased.\n\nGraphics, VFX Programming & Planet Tech\nThe majority of the Graphics team focused on optimization throughout May, making significant improvements that will come at a later date. Alongside this, the team further optimized and refined the visuals for the Global Illumination system, in addition to adding depth-output support to all parallax mapped surfaces which allows them to benefit from our full rendering feature-set, such as screen space shadows, reflections and directional occlusion.\n\nThe Planet Tech team made large strides with Genesis as they look to close-out the last elements of the core technology and move on to polish, performance, and stability tasks. Recent work focused on critical pieces of technology, like GPU object spawning, the virtual terrain cache, imposter rendering, and the spawning of creatures and mineables on V5 planets. Alongside this, the teams continued to iterate on visual quality while ensuring performance is kept in check.\n\nMission Design\nLast month, the Mission Design team progressed with Recco Battaglia. They also worked closely with Narrative and Core Gameplay to ensure the mission-provider interaction flow is as desired for the initial release.\n\nProgress was made on the redesign of an existing event that aims to push the boundaries of what is possible within a single instance. The original was designed around combat, but as the game has grown and matured, the team are now able to tap into new methods and gameplay choices.\n\nThe team also focused on creating a faction focused on non-combat gameplay from the Star Citizens 1.0 plan.\n\nElsewhere, the Municipal Works is currently going through mission blockouts to get it into a first-playable state. Once the design is signed off, full production can begin.\n\nNarrative\nAs mentioned in last month\u2019s report, the Narrative team held a performance-capture session, which not only brought back a familiar face but also recorded lines for a revamped existing mission. They also captured content for NPCs encountered during refueling gameplay to allow them to expand the variety of voices heard in those missions.\n\nThe Narrative team also began adding a variety of contracts that will bring more gameplay to the \u2019verse, not only for upcoming events but for some expanded evergreen missions as well.\n\nAdditionally, they created lore for new harvestable flora, wrote scripts for several new mission providers (including solidifying the narrative of their organizations), and provided support to both the UI and Environment Art teams.\n\n\u201cThanks to all the players reporting issues as they find them. The team has been knocking out recently discovered narrative bugs as quickly as possible, with many small quality-of-life fixes expected to make their way into Alpha 4.9.\u201d Narrative Team\n\nOnline Technology\nIn May, the Online Services team continued their work on several key player-facing features, including the Social Chat (MVP) feature, which is being built to enable in-game text communication between players. Alongside this, the social-systems pipeline continued to grow, with friends, online presence, party viewer, and orgs each formally tracked as upcoming deliverables for future milestones.\n\nThe first iteration of Item Recovery was included in Alpha 4.8. The team is currently supporting this feature, with more improvements coming in the future. Planning also kicked off for the Maglock system as part of the Item Recovery feature set.\n\nA significant focus in May was to address live game stability issues tied to the contract system. The team identified that the current contract system generates far too many database entries, causing overloads and performance instability for players. Two critical tasks were created to reduce the number of database entries and improve how contracts are filtered.\n\nThe team also tackled reliability improvements to mission rewards and is putting better diagnostic tools in place, making it faster to identify and fix issues with missions and contracts not appearing.\n\nThe Live Tools team continued to deliver improvements across all of their key tools while also shipping several notable releases.\n\nFor Hex, the team released version 3.39, which introduces new player support capabilities. Updates include improved entitlement tracking, an expanded account ownership view, and more.\n\nA follow-up release, 3.39.1, kept Hex's blueprint data in sync with the latest services. Throughout the month, work continued on the Hex 4.0 redesign, including a new design system and UX foundations that will shape all future Hex modules.\n\nOn the Bootstrap side, the team continued reliability work throughout the month, addressing developer-facing issues like server failures, performance bottlenecks, and configuration problems. Technical planning for a full Bootstrap client overhaul was kicked off and is now moving from research to design and implementation planning.\n\nR&D\nMay saw the R&D team implement tweakable (approximate) multi-scattering in gas clouds, similar to the multi-scatter solution used for planet clouds. This smoothly blends between forward and backward scattering (driving the phase function) depending on the visibility of the light source of given sample points.\n\nSupport began for look-up tables in the raymarcher to recolor gas clouds based on their local density. The raymarcher loop was further optimized by skipping significant sampling and lighting work at locations where density amounts to zero. Additional optimizations will speed up noise LOD calculations, as well as making the target opacity threshold of clouds configurable.\n\nFurthermore, numerous fixes and improvements were made to the integration of an experimental temporal upsampler borrowed from planet clouds. Lastly, out-of-bound writes in the gas cloud raymarchers were fixed for Vulkan alongside a sporadic GPU hang due to the introduction on non-linear stepping, which was mentioned in April\u2019s PU Report.","de_DE":"PU Monthly Report\nMay 2026\nWelcome to the PU Monthly Report!

Alongside this, the teams continued to iterate on visual quality while ensuring performance is kept in check.\n\nMission Design\nLast month, the Mission Design team progressed with Recco Battaglia. They also worked closely with Narrative and Core Gameplay to ensure the mission-provider interaction flow is as desired for the initial release.\n\nProgress was made on the redesign of an existing event that aims to push the boundaries of what is possible within a single instance. The original was designed around combat, but as the game has grown and matured, the team are now able to tap into new methods and gameplay choices.\n\nThe team also focused on creating a faction focused on non-combat gameplay from the Star Citizens 1.0 plan.\n\nElsewhere, the Municipal Works is currently going through mission blockouts to get it into a first-playable state. Once the design is signed off, full production can begin.\n\nNarrative\nAs mentioned in last month\u2019s report, the Narrative team held a performance-capture session, which not only brought back a familiar face but also recorded lines for a revamped existing mission. They also captured content for NPCs encountered during refueling gameplay to allow them to expand the variety of voices heard in those missions.\n\nThe Narrative team also began adding a variety of contracts that will bring more gameplay to the \u2019verse, not only for upcoming events but for some expanded evergreen missions as well.\n\nAdditionally, they created lore for new harvestable flora, wrote scripts for several new mission providers (including solidifying the narrative of their organizations), and provided support to both the UI and Environment Art teams.\n\n\u201cThanks to all the players reporting issues as they find them. The team has been knocking out recently discovered narrative bugs as quickly as possible, with many small quality-of-life fixes expected to make their way into Alpha 4.9.\u201d Narrative Team\n\nOnline Technology\nIn May, the Online Services team continued their work on several key player-facing features, including the Social Chat (MVP) feature, which is being built to enable in-game text communication between players. Alongside this, the social-systems pipeline continued to grow, with friends, online presence, party viewer, and orgs each formally tracked as upcoming deliverables for future milestones.\n\nThe first iteration of Item Recovery was included in Alpha 4.8. The team is currently supporting this feature, with more improvements coming in the future. Planning also kicked off for the Maglock system as part of the Item Recovery feature set.\n\nA significant focus in May was to address live game stability issues tied to the contract system. The team identified that the current contract system generates far too many database entries, causing overloads and performance instability for players. Two critical tasks were created to reduce the number of database entries and improve how contracts are filtered.\n\nThe team also tackled reliability improvements to mission rewards and is putting better diagnostic tools in place, making it faster to identify and fix issues with missions and contracts not appearing.\n\nThe Live Tools team continued to deliver improvements across all of their key tools while also shipping several notable releases.\n\nFor Hex, the team released version 3.39, which introduces new player support capabilities. Updates include improved entitlement tracking, an expanded account ownership view, and more.\n\nA follow-up release, 3.39.1, kept Hex's blueprint data in sync with the latest services. Throughout the month, work continued on the Hex 4.0 redesign, including a new design system and UX foundations that will shape all future Hex modules.\n\nOn the Bootstrap side, the team continued reliability work throughout the month, addressing developer-facing issues like server failures, performance bottlenecks, and configuration problems. Technical planning for a full Bootstrap client overhaul was kicked off and is now moving from research to design and implementation planning.\n\nR&D\nMay saw the R&D team implement tweakable (approximate) multi-scattering in gas clouds, similar to the multi-scatter solution used for planet clouds. This smoothly blends between forward and backward scattering (driving the phase function) depending on the visibility of the light source of given sample points.\n\nSupport began for look-up tables in the raymarcher to recolor gas clouds based on their local density. The raymarcher loop was further optimized by skipping significant sampling and lighting work at locations where density amounts to zero. Additional optimizations will speed up noise LOD calculations, as well as making the target opacity threshold of clouds configurable.\n\nFurthermore, numerous fixes and improvements were made to the integration of an experimental temporal upsampler borrowed from planet clouds. Lastly, out-of-bound writes in the gas cloud raymarchers were fixed for Vulkan alongside a sporadic GPU hang due to the introduction on non-linear stepping, which was mentioned in April\u2019s PU Report.","zh_CN":"PU Monthly Report\nMay 2026\nWelcome to the PU Monthly Report! May saw Alpha 4.8 and DefenseCon hitting the \u2019verse, with many teams spending the month finalizing features for these major releases. Following this, tasks began and continued for the exciting content coming over the next few patches. Read on for all the details.\n\nAI Content\nFollowing the launch of Alpha 4.8, the AI Content team began closing out tasks for Alpha 4.9 and beyond. Alongside the usual bug fixes and ongoing initiatives from the previous months, the team looked into technical fixes to help streamline the process for adding content into the game.\n\n\u201cThe Alpha 4.9 patch is going to be a very important one for the narrative design of the game, as the team is contributing to two very large elements that will lay important foundations for developing narrative in the ultimate 1.0 vision.\u201d AI Content Team\n\nAI (Features & Tech)\nOn the animation side, significant work went toward the mass retargeting of male-to-female combat AI assets, with additional support for unconscious and bleeding-out behaviors. The devs also made TrackViews for an upcoming event and restructured how melee attacks are tweaked for NPCs with large attack sets.\n\nPrototypes were then implemented for the valakkar. For example, the team simplified the setup of burrowing animation types, fixed the path patching to improve movement along dynamically generated positions, and improved the API for tracking damage to NPCs to trigger motive actions. They also refactored how AI-triggered states work and improved debug shortcuts for controlling time and teleporting.\n\nAnimation\nLast month, the Animation team progressed with the apex valakkar, fleshing out various additional attacks and animations. They also captured new enter and exit animations for upcoming ships alongside work for a new full-body mission giver, who will have her own place in the \u2019verse.\n\nThe Facial Animation team processed a significant amount of new content from April\u2019s performance-capture shoot, which will appear in Alpha 4.9. As this content will be split across comms calls and in-person interactions, it was processed at different quality tiers to ensure that everything players see close up will really shine.\n\nThe team are excited to see players\u2019 reactions to the return of Recco Battaglia, as this will be the first instance of an old character returning to the \u2019verse with new content and missions. A lot has changed within the pipeline since her debut, so this will be the first time players will be able to draw immediate comparisons.\n\nFacial Animation also held two performance-capture shoots with the Narrative and the Motion Capture teams, which will cover content for Alpha 4.9 and 4.10.\n\nArt (Ships)\nMay\u2019s DefenseCon saw many of the Ships team\u2019s recent projects flyable in the PU, including the Aegis Tiburon and Hammerhead \u2019gold standard,\u2019 the Origin M80, the MISC Starlite, and the Drake Pitbull, Ironclad, Ironclad Assault, and Command Module. The team also delivered the Vanduul Mauler as part of Tactical Strike Groups alongside numerous flight blades and weapon kits.\n\nElsewhere, the Gatac Railen passed its greybox review before progressing into LOD0, with a combined LOD0 and Final Gate review scheduled for early June. Significant progress was also made on a related-yet-unannounced ship.\n\nFour other upcoming vehicles continued development, too. The first received custom mo-cap for its enter and exit animations, creating unique challenges due to its scale, before its greybox review at the end of the month.\n\nProduction on the second kicked off, with a small team starting work toward the whitebox gate planned for the middle of June.\n\nThe third continued down the pipeline, while the fourth saw the UK team collaborating with their North American counterparts to ensure the art direction aligns with the brand\u2019s other new releases.\n\nWith resources freed up following DefenseCon, pre-production picked up for the Anvil Liberator, with the start of whitebox scheduled for the end of the month. As part of this, an update was made to the interior to allow for quicker entry and exit to the landing pads.\n\nLastly on the UK side, the RSI Galaxy continued through whitebox as further revisions were made to the layout around the central docking collar, habs, bridge, and lift area to ensure clear flow from any direction.\n\nAs mentioned above, the North American team progressed with an unannounced ship, which passed its greybox gate review with flying colors. Following this, the LOD0 phase began, with the ship coming together following a preliminary lighting pass.\n\nFinally, the Drake Kraken continued through its greybox phase, with further changes to the hero rooms to utilize more of the Drake kit used in the Ironclad. This will save both production time and increase the optimization of this huge ship.\n\nArt (Weapons)\nIn May, the Weapons team ensured their content was ready for Alpha 4.8, including the Kastak Arms plasma grenade and UltiFlex Novian crossbow, and a handful of skins for upcoming events.\n\nMeanwhile, the team progressed with a new large-caliber weapon, which is currently in greybox. New tech is also in the works that will require cross-team collaboration over the next couple of months. Material polish passes and updates to existing weapons continued to progress, too.\n\nCommunity\nThe Community team began May by preparing for the launches of Alpha 4.8: Tactical Strike and DefenseCon 2956. Early in the month, they published the April PU Monthly Report followed by an Org Spotlight that presented players with a variety of organizations they could team up with to tackle upcoming content. They also shared updates on the changes to vehicle insurance coming in Alpha 4.8 and announced that the Novian crossbow would arrive with this update.\n\nThe team supported the release of Alpha 4.8 with a catch-all thread highlighting all the features of this major update, along with an FAQ for Tactical Strike Groups. They also launched the latest Twitch Drops for DefenseCon, alongside a dedicated page and an FAQ alerting the community to what to expect at Drake\u2019s big show. As the event drew near, they followed up with a comm-link informing players of the DefenseCon Schedule as well as a Countdown to DefenseCon to keep the community updated.\n\nAs DefenseCon began, the Community team published a Referral Bonus comm-link and hosted a screenshot contest. They also created a Q&A for all the new ships debuting at the event, which was updated as new ships were released, and a catch-all thread keeping the community informed throughout the event.\n\nBoth DefenseCon 2956 and Alpha 4.8 included updates to the New Player Guide and Welcome Back, Pilot pages, keeping players informed of all the recent changes. As always, the team kept up their regular cadence of This Week in Star Citizen and bi-weekly Roadmap updates.\n\nIn addition to all the other events last month, the Bar Citizen World Tour continued in May, with staff attending events in China, France, Korea, Switzerland, and TwitchCon in the Netherlands. The team also invited the community to join them for the International Bar Citizen Weekend in June.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s been an absolute blast seeing everyone and hearing your starfaring stories! We hope to get to know more of you at other upcoming events, such as the International Bar Citizen Weekend, kicking off on June 13!\u201d Community Team\n\nThroughout May, the team closely monitored community sentiment and feedback to ensure development teams had the latest word from players to help shape improvements to both current content and future events. The Community team is also currently working closely with other teams to relaunch a refreshed Welcome Hub for new players, as well as further updates to the Guide System and Spectrum.\n\nEconomy\nAlpha 4.8 saw the introduction of two major economy features: ship insurance adjustments and player-crafted items. Consumable prices were also adjusted and components now have a wider price range, with prices of grade \u2019A\u2019 military components in particular being adjusted upwards to give more of a sense of progression. The devs also increased the sale price of components so that salvagers can capitalize on any high-tier components they come across.\n\nThe data aggregation pipelines were broadened, resulting in several mission archetypes receiving a balance pass based on player behavior data.\n\nTo support future economy updates, the team began standardizing the price and volume brackets of crafting resources. They\u2019re also working on new ways to make the resource, commodity, and trading systems more intuitive and transparent for players.\n\nOn the shop implementation side, the team supported DefenseCon by setting up new shop items, including commemorative hats and t-shirts, ship weapons, flight blades, flight suits, and vehicles. This allowed all the items on display within the expo halls and lobby to physically spawn and be interactive and purchasable. The team even redressed the Coffee-to-Go concession stand to fit the DefenseCon theme.\n\nLastly, with the introduction of flight suits, a pass was done on some of the existing shops across the PU to ensure two of them could be purchased.\n\nGraphics, VFX Programming & Planet Tech\nThe majority of the Graphics team focused on optimization throughout May, making significant improvements that will come at a later date. Alongside this, the team further optimized and refined the visuals for the Global Illumination system, in addition to adding depth-output support to all parallax mapped surfaces which allows them to benefit from our full rendering feature-set, such as screen space shadows, reflections and directional occlusion.\n\nThe Planet Tech team made large strides with Genesis as they look to close-out the last elements of the core technology and move on to polish, performance, and stability tasks. Recent work focused on critical pieces of technology, like GPU object spawning, the virtual terrain cache, imposter rendering, and the spawning of creatures and mineables on V5 planets. Alongside this, the teams continued to iterate on visual quality while ensuring performance is kept in check.\n\nMission Design\nLast month, the Mission Design team progressed with Recco Battaglia. They also worked closely with Narrative and Core Gameplay to ensure the mission-provider interaction flow is as desired for the initial release.\n\nProgress was made on the redesign of an existing event that aims to push the boundaries of what is possible within a single instance.

They also captured content for NPCs encountered during refueling gameplay to allow them to expand the variety of voices heard in those missions.\n\nThe Narrative team also began adding a variety of contracts that will bring more gameplay to the \u2019verse, not only for upcoming events but for some expanded evergreen missions as well.\n\nAdditionally, they created lore for new harvestable flora, wrote scripts for several new mission providers (including solidifying the narrative of their organizations), and provided support to both the UI and Environment Art teams.\n\n\u201cThanks to all the players reporting issues as they find them. The team has been knocking out recently discovered narrative bugs as quickly as possible, with many small quality-of-life fixes expected to make their way into Alpha 4.9.\u201d Narrative Team\n\nOnline Technology\nIn May, the Online Services team continued their work on several key player-facing features, including the Social Chat (MVP) feature, which is being built to enable in-game text communication between players.

You helped make it the largest DefenseCon to date and set a new all-time in-game concurrency record for the project.\n\nLast week, we also shared an update on some of the issues you've been experiencing in Alpha 4.8. Since then, we've deployed a number of hotfixes addressing docking failures at certain stations, ship claim and Starmap issues, missing pledge items, and more.\n\nTeams are continuing to work through your reports, with additional fixes currently in testing. Every report helps us track issues down and get fixes moving faster, and we genuinely appreciate all of you who have taken the time to contribute through the Issue Council and Spectrum.\n\nLooking ahead, we've got a couple of maintenance windows planned this week, covering both bug fixes and new additions.\n\nFirst up, both the RSI Platform and the Star Citizen Live Service will enter maintenance tomorrow, June 2, starting at 08:15 UTC. Matchmaking will be disabled at that time to allow players to safely exit the environment ahead of RSI Platform maintenance beginning at 09:00 UTC. This downtime is not expected to exceed four hours. We will provide updates on the RSI Status Page as the maintenance progresses.\n\nWe're also targeting a Live Service maintenance window on Wednesday, June 3, to deploy Alpha 4.8.1. The update currently includes more than 30 fixes and additions, with more to follow. Keep an eye on Spectrum for more information soon!\n\nWhile work on improvements continues, we\u2019re also kicking off June with a splash of color and inviting you to show us yours for a chance to take home some loot.\n\nJune also marks the approach of Alien Week, with more details as we get closer. It also means that International Bar Citizen Weekend is right around the corner. For many of us on the team, it's something we look forward to every year. It's a chance to connect with all of you, put faces to handles, and hear your stories firsthand. We\u2019ll be hosting events near each of our studios around the globe, with more details available on Spectrum, and we hope to see many of you there.\n\nSpeaking of Bar Citizens, several members of the team had the chance to attend the Netherlands Bar Citizen last Friday alongside TwitchCon Rotterdam.
