Other presentations include a detailed look into new technologies being introduced into the game, discussions about the future of engineering with the resource management system, and the much-anticipated server meshing technology that aims to enhance online player interactions.

Highlights include the introduction of the A1 Spirit ship with its corresponding trailer, the revision and release of the iconic RSI Zeus spaceship, exciting updates about the Cutter craft including a new variant called the Scout, and teasers for forthcoming ships like the Polaris. Additionally, discussions on scanning tech, UI improvements, and the unveiling of a highly detailed and interactive star map enhance player navigation tools.
The day concludes with community engagements, including a cosplay contest and an exciting preview into what Day Two of CitizenCon 2953 will entail.
