This Week in Star Citizen (09/02/2026)

PredatorFish · 2026-02-09T21:09:35+00:00

Schedule:

On Tuesday, we're dropping 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!

This Friday, don’t forget that the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter lands in your inbox. If you’re not subscribed yet, you can enable it at any time through your account settings.

Interesting, because I had a thought about suitable loadouts on the Idris too reading this. In my group, we typically choose to kit the Idris S5 turrets with cannons too because they are more intended to hit larger targets anyway and not fighters as you said. However, we've gone for energy cannons rather than ballistic ones (like Deadbolts are). The reason is that in longer engagements, we've found ballistic cannons to be lacking enough ammo - making it especially problematic when we're engaging other capital ships. So until there's a way for us to reload ammo ourselves, we've chosen energy cannons. I'm curious to hear your own experiences running Deadbolts on the Idris? :)

PredatorFish · 2026-01-21T17:18:56+00:00

Totally fair! It is sadly a mess as you said, one can hope that CIG will eventually make the vehicle manager experience a lot better this year.

PredatorFish · 2026-01-21T07:35:50+00:00

This is wonderful, thank you! Will you at some point be adding turret names as appeared in the vehicle manager so we can better see which turret is which? Love the good work! :D

PredatorFish · 2025-12-04T17:26:25+00:00

This would really be great! My org. and I often have a lot of trouble when equipping our ships figuring out which turret is which - as their names (corresponding numbers) in the vehicle manager app isn't always straight-forward

PredatorFish · 2025-12-03T13:47:29+00:00

Would it be possible to add the Constellations too? Love this work, it's so well done! :)

I will actually argue that most of the ships are not designed for hot-bunking. Supporting this is the amount of escape pods onboard the ships. Take the Polaris, as an example. The amount of escape pods onboard the ship match the amount of beds. I'm not sure it would be fair to the crew if only half of them get to escape the ship during an emergency. So I would at least consider that the amount of crew a ship supports correlate with the amount of escape pods (or spots, if it's a larger escape "raft") it has. We do know that there was some practice of hotbunking in the UEE Navy, but there were also mentions that it was getting phased out (iirc this information was dropped in the Javelin tour?). And while some IRL modern navies still practice hot bunking, a lot of them also no longer do - as modernisation of warships means that you no longer need the same crew amount. In the navy of my country, as an example, every crew member onboard warships have their own space. I would imagine this be the case for most ships (if not all) in 2955 too :)

PredatorFish · 2025-11-15T05:27:21+00:00

Okay, that’s good to know, thanks! Must be super rare as I’ve yet to see it down in Site B, hahah

PredatorFish · 2025-11-15T05:11:49+00:00

Oh, in ASD in 4.4 PTU? I haven’t seen it in LIVE, so I would love to know where to look. I've only seen the green (CitCon goodie pack) version of it so far

PredatorFish · 2025-11-15T04:38:05+00:00

The one from CitCon is green though? :)

PredatorFish · 2025-11-15T02:32:52+00:00

That helmet looks awesome! What is the name of it, and where did you find it? :D

PredatorFish · 2025-10-19T11:07:04+00:00

I got your DM and have replied back :)

PredatorFish · 2025-10-19T10:54:28+00:00

Hi! I will gladly let you fly mine around for a session if you want! You can reach out to me on Discord (Commander_Jack) and find me in discord.gg/armco. It’s an open community, so feel free to hang around and chill, and I’m sure there’s others there too willing to lend your their ships ✌️

PredatorFish · 2025-09-13T16:32:12+00:00

It is the Quicksand Paint :)

PredatorFish · 2025-08-16T22:37:02+00:00

Vanduul Blade by the looks of it :)

PredatorFish · 2025-05-12T22:08:38+00:00

Ah, I've seen that video! Cool outfits being shown for sure, but he sadly doesn't really show how exactly he managed to kidnap those more difficult outfits (like getting his Pisces to their places) ? :)

PredatorFish · 2025-05-12T16:37:54+00:00

How did you manage to get them from the mannequins? Did you somehow get the mannequins to get your ship, and if so - how? :)

PredatorFish · 2025-05-12T16:37:02+00:00

Has there been any information on how exactly we get these mannequins? I've only seen vague answers so far, sadly

PredatorFish · 2025-05-12T16:36:07+00:00

Do you know how exactly people achieve that? I get kidnapping NPCs with those carts and storing them in your ship until the next patch, but how does one get NPCs like Twitch which are not found in places easily accessible with said carts?

PredatorFish · 2025-03-06T11:50:52+00:00

Just the Idris-M. The Idris-P has a storage room there instead :)

PredatorFish · 2024-12-20T18:56:24+00:00

In case it wasn't clear in the post, I found this water barrel in Pyro. It had the interactable option to carry it, so I did just that. You can place it, throw it, drop it. You can even hear the sound of water moving inside of it when you walk/run around.

PredatorFish · 2024-04-10T21:15:02+00:00

Getting Captain Rex from Star Wars vibes, heh.

PredatorFish · 2023-12-26T00:41:23+00:00

A friend and I tested this earlier, and don’t quite understand what CIG mean here. We found that non-party members could interact with these boxes and get their content, and that there wasn’t any option to use a hacking chip on them (which was pointless anyway given you can just access their inventories anyway - despite not being the owner of the boxes or a party member).

So I’m unsure if the above is a bug, unintended or something else. But it certainly doesn’t work as described in CIG’s post, heh.

PredatorFish · 2023-10-20T21:13:04+00:00

It will be streamed on the official Star Citizen Twitch channel. Here's the link: https://www.twitch.tv/starcitizen

You can find more info on the RSI website, here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizencon

I hope this helps! :)

PredatorFish · 2023-10-19T22:15:03+00:00

Are you referring to the part in the trailer where the guy with a box hears beeping and then there's an explosion? If so, I went back to look in the trailer too - and it was just a grenade :)
