Tempor Incididunt Lorem Ipsum How the RSI Discovery Month works Missions are split into four career tracks, categorized as follows: Your Total Defense Transport Collection Completing missions awards points associated with that mission category. Those points advance the corresponding career track while also contributing toward your personal event progression (Your Total). You can keep track of your progress throughout the event via the Journal in your mobiGlas. All missions take place within the Stanton system, with new RSI event locations situated around Hurston, ArcCorp, and microTech, as well as their surrounding moons. Note that there are missions around Crusader, but as there are no RSI locations in the vicinity, any mission that needs a drop off to an RSI location will have to be dropped near one of the three other main planets. RSI Discovery Month features a broad mix of mission types, so you can contribute in whatever way suits your playstyle!

Q&A Constellation Mk IV Retirement by Roberts Space Industries Humanity has always looked to the stars to find its way. For generations of pilots, the Constellation has helped chart the course. From exploration and commerce to combat and comfort, the Aquila, Taurus, Andromeda, and Phoenix have each built a story of their own. Now, newly updated with a host of quality of life additions that keep this storied legend at it's peak, the Constellation Mk IV leaves the production line as a modern classic, destined to be prized by pilots who know its worth. We asked the team a few questions about this legendary ship's retirement. Here are the answers, straight from the devs themselves. For those who may not be familiar with how ‘retirement’ works for ships, what does this mean? Since the early days of the project we've spoken publicly about our desire to build a living, breathing universe that feels alive, with a long and storied past that informs the present and acts as a foundation for the future. Just like the sci-fi universes that inspired so many of us who both play and create our game, we often find our intrepid heroes favoring vehicles that are not the newest or flashiest, but belong to a classic lineage with virtues and capabilities often overlooked by those who favor the latest. Retirement of ships in Star Citizen is part of realizing that aspect of our universe. These ships aren't disappearing, and their capabilities aren't being frozen. Retirement changes how you acquire them, not what they can do. We want to provide people with the same options a scruffy smuggler or stoic bounty hunter had in our favorite sci-fi franchises, to seek out and pursue classics that stand apart from the current landscape. In practical terms, retirement is not the end of a ship's ongoing development. "Gold Standard" is a development expression that means, "update to the current state of tech and features." As Star Citizen continues to expand and grow, these retired ships will continue to get the same gold standard updates as every other ship still readily available. Everything from Maelstrom to Engineering updates and all the gameplay systems and balance changes in between will come to retired ships the same as any other. Retirement simply means we're changing the way you can acquire the ship, and moving it out of our pledge store exclusively into in-game procurement. In later updates, everything from dedicated "classic" ship shops to missions for unique components to crafting systems that allow you to customize these retired ships the same as any other will give these spacecraft a new and highly sought after life in the 'verse. This is not the end of the Constellation Mk IV's journey, nor the Aurora or Hornet Mk I before it. Retirement is simply the next step in building a living history for a universe that continues to expand and grow in its journey onwards to 1.0. The Constellation Mk IV has had a long run in the 'verse. How are you marking this milestone? To mark the ship’s retirement, a special reward paint will be gifted to all Constellation Mk IV owners during RSI Discovery Month. When will the Constellation Mk IV's retirement paint be awarded to eligible owners? The reward paint will be attributed to all accounts with an active Constellation Mk IV pledge at both the start of the event, and a few days after it closes on October 20. If you don't currently have a Constellation Mk IV on your account, you have until the end of the event to acquire or recover one and hold onto it. Is the Constellation Mk IV getting its original Kickstarter paints for its retirement, similar to what happened with the Aurora Mk I? Yes, the original Kickstarter paints have been implemented in-game and will be available to newer citizens who missed the original chance to get them through the end of IAE. When will the retirement window for the Constellation Mk IV end? The window will end on January 27, 2027. This notice is to give anyone interested ample time to acquire a Constellation Mk IV before it leaves the pledge store. The Constellation Mk IV is available to rent and buy in-game and is also displayed at Lorville's New Deal ship dealer. How will this change after the retirement window? As with other retirement events, these ships will leave current in-game shops once the retirement window closes. Please refer to the earlier answer above about how retired ships will be available beyond that in the future. Is the Constellation Mk IV's retirement affecting its snub fighters, the P-52 Merlin and P-72 Archimedes? No, this retirement applies only to the Constellation Mk IV series and does not affect its snub fighters.
