This week in Star Citizen, there are no major updates from Cloud Imperium, but players can look forward to the Squadron 42 monthly report, a ship sale promotion, the RSI Weekly Newsletter, and the Dayar Rally. The alpha 3.22 PTU continues to receive patches, with a hotfix patch bringing improvements and a new salvage and repair tool, while updates on the replication layer split are pending.
This week in Star Citizen, there are no major updates from Cloud Imperium, as the roadmap and Star Citizen Live shows are still on a break. However, next week is expected to bring the eagerly awaited roadmap update for the first patch of the year. The Squadron 42 monthly report will be reposted on Wednesday, showcasing progress in the single-player campaign and its impact on the persistent universe. On Thursday, there will be a ship sale promotion for those who missed out on ships released in 2023. The RSI Weekly Newsletter will be emailed out on Friday. Additionally, the Dayar Rally, a community-organized endurance race, returns on Saturday.
On the alpha 3.22 PTU front, there have been a couple of patches, with a hotfix patch releasing shortly. This patch will bring fixes and quality of life updates, including improvements to defensive turrets, cargo manifests, and track-to-beam issues. The standout feature in the 3.22 build is the introduction of the graycat SRT, a dedicated salvage and repair tool. This tool will provide players, both new and veteran, with the opportunity to make money through hull scraping and enjoy the organic gameplay of Star Citizen.
Regarding the replication layer split, there is no new information. The tech preview build with the separated replication layer was taken down, and the data collected over the holiday period is being analyzed. It is likely that the current 3.22 build will be released to the live servers before the 3.22 pointx patch, which will include the new replication layer. Updates on this will be provided once available.
With a slower week in terms of updates, the content focus will shift to gameplay videos. The vulture ship will be explored, favorite spots will be visited, and the Zero to Hero series on Twitch will continue. Supermac’s Twitch channel will have streams on Wednesday and Friday, where viewers can ask questions about the game and Star Citizen-related topics. Lastly, there is a 15% off sale on the Tobii Eye Tracker 5, which can be purchased using Supermac’s referral link to support the channel.
In conclusion, while this week may be slower in terms of updates, there are still exciting events happening in the Star Citizen community. Players can look forward to the Squadron 42 monthly report, ship sale promotion, RSI Weekly Newsletter, and the Dayar Rally. The alpha 3.22 PTU continues to receive patches, with a hotfix patch on the way, bringing improvements and a new salvage and repair tool. Updates on the replication layer split are pending, and Supermac’s content will focus on gameplay videos and Twitch streams.
