The video showcases the new Star Citizen subscriber flair, the dashbot, a small interactive companion that sits on a ship’s dashboard and reacts with humorous facial expressions and sounds to various in-game events during flight and combat. Its charming animations and emotional responses add personality and fun to space travel, making it a convenient and entertaining addition to the player’s experience.
In this video, the presenter showcases the new emote dashbot, a subscriber flair introduced in June 2026 for Star Citizen. The dashbot is a small companion item designed to sit neatly on a ship’s dashboard. It has minimal weight and volume, making it easy to carry inside the player’s backpack, although it cannot be dropped on the ground. The dashbot features a variety of humorous facial expressions that react to the player’s actions during space travel, adding a fun and interactive element to flights.
Upon testing, the presenter discovers that the dashbot is very small—about hand-sized rather than helmet-sized—and it blinks and has some subtle animations. While it cannot be equipped on certain ships like the Perseus, it can be successfully equipped on others such as the Gladius. The dashbot also makes sounds that complement the ship’s systems, enhancing the immersive experience. The presenter emphasizes the importance of saving the loadout to avoid losing the dashbot.
During flight tests, the dashbot reacts in entertaining ways to various in-game events. It responds to takeoff, landing gear operations, and wormhole travel with different facial expressions and sounds. The dashbot shows displeasure when the player blacks out or attempts risky maneuvers, and it even displays affectionate gestures like hearts. These reactions make the dashbot a charming companion that adds personality to space travel.
The presenter then takes the dashbot on a combat mission, where it continues to react to the intense action. The dashbot shows signs of dizziness, fear, and frustration during combat situations such as shield damage, proximity alerts, and enemy fire. Its expressions and sounds reflect its “emotional” state, making it clear that it does not enjoy combat scenarios. However, the dashbot’s reactions remain limited during some critical moments, like ship destruction.
Overall, the emote dashbot serves as a cute and interactive companion that enhances the player’s experience in Star Citizen by providing amusing visual and audio feedback. Its small size and ease of storage make it convenient to carry, and its varied reactions to flight and combat events add a layer of charm and personality to space exploration. The presenter concludes that the dashbot is a fun addition to the game, making flights more enjoyable and engaging.
