Every two weeks, we accompany the Roadmapupdate 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.
Just 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.
Be sure to check back every two weeks for the latest updates.
With that, let’s dive into this week’s Roadmap Roundup!

MOTH
Designed for and dedicated to operators looking to take their small-time recovery work to the next level. Purpose-built to bridge the gap between light salvage and full industrial undertakings, the MOTH has the tools to earn its keep, the storage for a long job, and the ambition to take your team to an elevated tier of performance.
We asked the Vehicle and Gameplay teams a few questions about this new Argo medium salvager. Here are the answers, straight from the devs themselves.
As the first Medium Salvage ship, how do you envision players utilizing the MOTH in their salvage career path between smaller salvage ships, like the Drake Vulture, and the larger Aegis Reclaimer?
Much like other careers, the MOTH provides a great midground for those looking to increase their output, take on larger missions, or have a more multi-crew experience.
As the MOTH stands for "Multi Operator Targeted Harvester," what is the ideal crew size to operate the ship?
Like most ships in Star Citizen, the MOTH can be operated solo, in this case with some creative positioning and internal seat swapping. In some instances, players may even find this advantageous over making repeated trips with smaller vehicles due to the MOTH’s cargo capacity.
That said, to get the fullest experience and most efficient return, we recommend at least one pilot and one crew member, up to the ship’s maximum of four.
What are the key advantages that set the MOTH apart as a Medium Salvage ship?
Three independent hull-scraping turrets and pilot-controlled structural salvage arms allow the crew to tackle a variety of targets in parallel, rather than sequentially. This provides the benefit of multiple players working together without the need for several vehicles or the overheads associated with the much larger Reclaimer.

What's the MOTH's total SCU capacity (including buffer)?
The official capacity is 224 SCU: the two external autoloader cargo grids each hold 96 SCU and the rear cargo lift holds 32 SCU. However, each autoloader has a buffer of 32 SCU, giving a maximum theoretical capacity of 288 SCU.
Does the MOTH have similar flight characteristics to the MOLE, or does it handle differently?
The MOTH has nearly identical handling characteristics to the MOLE but, due to the differing layout of the cargo, can behave differently if not equally loaded.
What salvage head loadout does the MOTH come with by default, and is it swappable?
The salvage heads are compatible with all existing sub-items (including those used by the other salvage ships). By default, the MOTH comes with the Cinch and Abrade scraper modules. The Trawler and Ready Grip modules are compatible and can be used in either of the salvage turrets.
What size ships can the MOTH structurally salvage, and what types of construction materials will it produce?
The MOTH is capable of salvaging ships the size of the Origin 600i or MISC Starfarer. In doing so, it produces Construction Material Pieces; the MOTH being the first ship to create the "pieces" type of raw material.
Inhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.
Which roles can a player take on when salvaging with the MOTH, seeing as there are multiple turrets and seats?
There are three manned salvage turrets for hull scraping at the front and both sides, all with excellent 180-degree coverage. The pilot seat has control over the guns and fracture/disintegration arms, while the copilot seat has control over the remote missile turret.
The MOTH features 2x S2 pilot weapons and a remote missile turret. How does the MOTH fare in combat?
The MOTH is not designed for combat, its weaponry provides an initial defense against aggressors before making its exit.
Is the MOTH a variant of the MOLE and would therefore be able to use the same paints?
No, the MOTH is a standalone chassis, so the two don’t share paints.

From AI Features to Tech and Online Technology, development ramped back up, laying the groundwork for Alpha 4.6 and setting the tone for what’s ahead throughout 2026.
Star Citizen Live also returned for its first episode of the year with a Tech Talk featuring Chief Technology Officer Benoit Beauséjour. The discussion covered last year’s major milestones, this year’s priorities, and the technology powering the ever-evolving ‘verse in a two-hour episode: Dynamic Server Meshing, Instancing, Transport System, Long Term Persistence, Social systems, VoIP, VR, Economy, and so much more!
Tonight, the Evocati will get their hands on a Tech Preview focused on the Inventory Rework, kicking off a series of Tech Previews planned for this feature, as well as for Crafting. We are looking forward to the initial feedback from Evocati and cannot wait to bring these experiences to the PTU later on, where we can open the conversation up further and gather even more insight from the wider community.
Now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up this week:
On Tuesday, get ready for a new Monthly Bundle! With Coramor just around the corner, look forward to a themed bundle designed to celebrate the occasion.
Wednesday sets the mood with the return of Coramor. Beyond the stars still lingers the legacy of Yuri and Cora, with citizens celebrating togetherness in all its forms. Expect themed festivities and a way to share the spirit with fellow citizens! There will be a downtime starting 11:00 UTC.
We’ll also release a new episode of Behind the Ships, with Argo's latest landing in the ’verse that very same day.
We will publish the latest Roadmap Update, including refreshed cards for Alpha 4.6, a few new additions planned for 4.7, and an updated Progress Tracker reflecting the current state of development.
Also on Wednesday, new Industrial Missions recently tested in the 4.6 PTU will make their debut, expanding opportunities for industrious crews ready to put their skills and ships to work. We’ll recap everything on Spectrum to help guide you through the new content, so keep an eye out.
Finally, on Thursday, it’s the perfect time to invite friends and jump back in, as Star Citizen will be free to play from February 12 through February 23 with a new Free Fly event and a Referral Bonus!

PU Monthly Report
CIG’s global studio returned from the break firing on all cylinders, ready to work on the wealth of content coming in Alpha 4.6 and throughout the whole year. Read on for how some teams began 2026, from AI Features and Tech to Online Technology.
AI Content
After the winter break, AI Content immediately began to close out the Alpha 4.6 patch. This included adding new Spectrum content for the Stanton system and working alongside the Environment team to install screens around Levski for use by the People’s Alliance.
As with any release, the team tackled various bugs affecting the social AI and mission providers.
Elsewhere, the team walked through their general plan for the year and outlined the goals they would like to achieve, alongside the supporting teams that would be needed to assist. The rest of the month was spent continuing tasks for initiatives started in the previous year.
AI (Features & Tech)
AI Features and Tech began the year fixing a blocker that caused NPCs to incorrectly break out of combat and investigate. This led to Human combatants not firing across various missions in Stanton, Pyro, and Nyx. Another issue was fixed that caused NPCs to be stuck in the cowering position.
The team then improved firing validation and reworked the way NPC trigger-switch logic is used to give the devs more control over its utilization. For example, NPCs using burst-fire-capable weapons will always switch to burst fire if desired. Improvements were also made to aim-direction handling when targets are no longer visible to eliminate NPCs occasionally aiming through walls.
For creatures, updates were made to the adult valakkar, which will no longer try to close in on targets. The apex valakkar is no longer able to hear while traversing underground. The ‘BurrowToPosition’ behavior was also updated to a string instead of a fixed type. This will directly pass animation fragment tags, improving iteration time.
The team also ensured that the apex valakkar can freely move around planetary nav-mesh, allowing for more profound underground movement. Essentially, the algorithm has been improved to allow large creatures to find paths and travel large distances, as they are not always close to players.
Improvements were also made to tactical point generation inside boxes that overlap multiple navigation meshes or action areas, giving the team a new way to determine whether tactical points are too expensive. Improvements were also made to the Cone TPS Generator, including to the apex-motive port and overall movement of the apex valakkar, which are still ongoing.
Support for Star Paws is also planned for development in the near future.
The team then refactored serialized debug variables to no longer propagate on release builds for the PU. NPCs are now also able to play different jump animations based on the ledge height they’re traversing. The team can also restrict the jump height of individual NPCs, too, without having to change the navigation link. For example, in a situation where a navigation link of 4m high is used, only NPCs capable of jumping this height will use it.
Finally, the team are now in the process of merging the 3D Voxel Grid pathfinder into the PU.
Animation
The Facial Animation team worked through the remaining motion-capture content that was recorded toward the end of last year. As part of this, another new voicepack will be released in Alpha 4.7, as well as additional content for James Herriman, who will be returning with a new (but somewhat familiar) design.
Art (Characters)
The Character Art team began the year finalizing new gang outfits and progressing with combat armors for the coming year.
The Concept Art team iterated on an upcoming variant and explored ideas for new armors.
Art (Ships)
The UK-based Ship team began the year progressing with five unannounced vehicles. The first had its final reviews, with the downstream teams adding their final touches ahead of its release. The team also updated some of the chassis geometry it shares with another vehicle to bring it up to a higher standard.
Following the completion of Hammerhead gold-standard tasks, some of the team began laying the groundwork for the second new vehicle, while the third passed its whitebox gate review with flying colors.
The fourth upcoming ship had its whitebox gate review in January, which flagged some issues with its main gameplay feature not behaving as expected. Upon investigation, the team identified and resolved the issue, allowing the ship to pass its review.
The UK team’s final unannounced vehicle approached its whitebox review, with the devs reviewing the scope of work and the available timeframe to make the process smoother for all teams.
Elsewhere, the Gatac Railen progressed through the whitebox phase toward its gate review in February.
The Greycat UTV continued development. Its planned mo-cap session was delayed until February due to external factors, though it will still make its gate review early in the month.
The MISC Hull B passed its greybox review with no issues and is now well into the LOD0 phase, with the artists currently adding additional details throughout.

Drake’s Ironclad, Ironclad Assault, and Command Module continued development, making heavy use of the brand’s modular kit. This helps the team make sweeping updates throughout the ships, leading to much faster progress than prior ships.

The North American teamcontinued to work onan as-yet-unannounced ship, which progressed through the whitebox phase. Last month saw its variants blocked out to ensure there are no surprises when they go into development at a later date. The team also adjusted some of the interior spaces to add more windows between rooms based on feedback.
Finally, the Drake Kraken continued through whitebox, with the first of its gate reviews set for mid-February, which is a major milestone for the team and the ship. Further work from the Concept team was scheduled to help the Production team refine some of the areas that have evolved since the original concept or that weren’t as well refined during the original concept phase.
Throughout January, Community provided support for Alpha 4.6: Lifeline for Levski. This included publishing an FAQ for the Clearing The Air event, guiding players on how to participate, where to go, and what rewards they could earn for their efforts. They also published a catch-all post highlighting the major features of Alpha 4.6 and a detailed Q&A for the new RSI Hermes. To ensure players had the most current information, the team updated the Cargo Hauling Guide and refreshed both the New Player Guide and Welcome Back, Pilot pages with details on current in-game content and events.
As with every release, the Community team continued to serve as a vital bridge between players and development. They delivered player feedback from Spectrum and social media to the appropriate channels through detailed sentiment reports and analysis, allowing disparate teams to stay informed of ground-level community feedback. Whether highlighting player-reported issues as they emerge or simply relaying what players are saying about the current state of the game, the team ensured development branches remain connected to the community's voice.
Additionally, they planned and published this year’s Bar Citizen World Tour, highlighting events CIG staff plan to attend throughout 2026, with further additions planned as new events are confirmed. The team also supported ATMO esports’ Daymar Rally 2956.
“Congratulations to the Daymar Rally winners and to every pilot who participated! Events like this are what make Star Citizen special, and it’s always great to see everyone come together to create such memorable moments. Thank you for your passion and creativity - We can’t wait to see what you come up with next!"
The Community team also published a Comm-Link showcasing the major events coming to the ‘verse in February. Evergreen tasks continued as well, including This Week in Star Citizen, alongside bi-weekly updates to the Roadmap and Roundups. Lastly, they announced the winners of the Luminalia 2955 Greeting Card Contest from among the many creative submissions, wrapping up the festivities from a memorable holiday season.

Mission Design
Coming back from the holidays, the Mission team continued with their work for content coming this year.
This began with Industrial Collections missions, which will also add reputation to mining-based factions and expand on Salvage gameplay. For mining, these missions will complement existing gameplay. For example, while a mission may ask for a specific amount of iron, mining could produce more than required, which can be stored for use later, used for another mission, or sold for profit elsewhere.
The salvage missions task players with retrieving components, weapons, CM, and RM, which can be twinned with the salvage rights players can already buy, allowing for profit maximization.
The team also supported the Clearing the Air event, providing varied mission types that allow players to work for a chosen company (or all of them) and earn rewards.
Looking forward, design work was completed on the revival of Siege of Orison. This was followed by a phase of rapid iteration to ensure this first instanced content is a great step forward.
Additional missions are also underway for Nyx, including the return of courier and delivery missions as part of the ladder toward hauling.
Narrative
After the holidays, Narrative hit the ground running, supporting the final closeout for Alpha 4.6. This included writing the usual array of mission, objective, item, and vehicle descriptions as well as dealing with any bugs that arose during testing. Much of the work revolved around upcoming missions, events, and characters that will require further Narrative input throughout the year.
The team also started outlining their first performance-capture shoot for the new year, so scripts were written and reviewed with Design to ensure the correct content is captured.
Narrative and Tech Design discussed the Location Scattering tool detailed in the CitizenCon 2954 presentation, helping them understand how to theme these generated settlements in a way that feels scalable but specific.
Online Technology
The Network team began the year changing the DGS manager class so that it’s aware of DGSs that no longer have groups streamed in. This provides buffer time between a DGS having its last group streamed out before it can be considered for release back to Fleet. The team also created a class that will change as they transition from static meshing and instancing to quasi-DSM and then to full DSM.
Besides this, the team tested various in-development technologies along with maintaining and improving tasks.
The Live Tools team continued surveying users of Bootstrap, the local game environment tool, to make it more stable, faster, and easier to use for testing and development work.
Development of the ticket assignment workflow web-app tool continued with delivery targeted for the end of February.
Finally, the validated UI design for Hex is currently being implemented, with modern navigation and improved layout to enhance workflow efficiency.
R&D
After the optimization push at the end of 2025, January saw the revival of the new and improved ground prototype, with work beginning to make it production-ready for both the PU and SQ42. Once complete, ground details will be cheaper to evaluate and render, ground fog modelling will be improved, and lighting will self-shadow and cast shadows like rain volumes and clouds. Part of this work also includes various optimizations for the atmosphere raymarcher.

Neun Jahre lang war Ashes of Creation das Licht am Ende des Tunnels für alle MMO-Fans. Ein Versprechen von Freiheit, finanziert von Spielern für Spieler, ganz ohne gierige Publisher. Doch plötzlich ist alles vorbei. Steven Sharif ist weg, die Kassen sind leer und 250 Mitarbeiter stehen auf der Straße – ohne ihr letztes Gehalt.
Doch das Timing wirft Fragen auf: Warum passiert das exakt 30 Tage nach dem Steam-Release? War der unfertige Launch nur ein juristischer Trick, um Rückerstattungen zu vermeiden? War es ein Scam?
Gemeinsam mit GameStar-Autor André Baumgartner, Entenburg und Leya Jankowski von MeinMMO blicken wir hinter die Kulissen eines Projekts, das zwischen MLM-Vergangenheit, „Phantom-Investoren“ und dem „Star Citizen“-Syndrom zerbrochen ist. War der Traum von Anfang an zum Scheitern verurteilt?

Happy Monday, everyone!
Alpha 4.6 has arrived, and Levski's in trouble. The deadly "Molina Mold" outbreak (caused by faulty Gyson air filters) is spreading rapidly, and now neighboring systems are at risk. Through March 17, Clearing the Air puts you on the front lines of a crisis. Transport medical supplies, defend relief convoys, or gather critical resources; your choice, but make it count. New clothing, armor, vehicle paints, and other rewards await those who step up, but more importantly, there are lives to save. Full details here.
Beyond the relief efforts, February's bringing love, luck, and adventure to the 'verse with Coramor celebrations, the Red Festival, a Free Fly, and more across the coming weeks. Hearts are full, prosperity awaits; it's shaping up to be a spectacular month ahead!
After an incredible 2025 of packed venues, late nights, and unforgettable conversations, we're bringing the Bar Citizen World Tour back for 2026. We've already confirmed stops around the world, with more locations on the way. Check back on the World Tour page as the route expands, and let us know on Spectrum where we should head next.

Every two weeks, we accompany the Roadmapupdate with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes.

Just 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.
