Happy Wednesday, everyone!

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

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

Notable Changes for February 21, 2024


Release View


Freight Elevators - An Update
As work has progressed on Freight Elevators, the team has recognized that additional feature work is required to implement summoning vehicles via your hangar. As a result, this specific mechanic will likely come at a later date. Freight Elevators and their other related functionalities are still on track for Alpha 3.23.




The following cards have been added to Release View, targeting an Alpha 3.23 release window:

Arena Commander: Custom Lobbies
Custom Lobbies, previously referred to as “Private Matches”, makes their return to Arena Commander. Utilizing the new Frontend & Lobby Systems, Custom Lobbies allow players to set up and play matches for any game modes on any map at any time, with their own rules.

Arena Commander: Grav Royale
Embark on high-speed mayhem in a thrilling new game mode: Grav Royale! Engage in intense vehicular combat across diverse maps, mastering your Gravlev vehicles to outmaneuver foes and seize victory in this gravity-defying battle arena.

Arena Commander: Engineering Experimental Mode
Three Limited Test Experimental Modes featuring the engineering gameplay (also referred to as "Resource Network") showcased at CitizenCon 2953. Help shape the future of engineering gameplay in Star Citizen by testing and giving feedback to the features and balance showcased in this limited test before it hits the Persistent Universe.

Arena Commander: New Flight Map - Miner's Lament
Miner's Lament, previously exclusive to racing & part of the Master Modes tests, now opens its treacherous asteroid-laden expanse to all flight modes. Dogfight in the chaotic beauty of Yela's ring for an intense, dangerous, close quarters showdown.




That's all for this week! No Progress Tracker updates this week as work continues on long-term planning.
