The video guide for the “Align and Mine” event in Star Citizen 4.1 introduces the new NPC Mission Giver, Wicko, and emphasizes the need for teamwork to complete missions, as ship rewards are exclusive to individual players. Players must align ground satellites on the moons Dayar and Abedine, collect comp boards, power an orbital laser, and then mine for carite to earn rewards from Wicko.
In the video guide for the “Align and Mine” event in Star Citizen 4.1, the host introduces the new NPC Mission Giver, Wicko, who offers various rewards, including armor, weapons, and ships. Unlike previous contested zones, this event is not particularly solo-friendly, requiring players to work together to complete missions effectively. While smaller missions can be shared among players, ship rewards are exclusive to the individual who completes the mission, presenting a challenge for groups aiming to obtain these rewards.
The event takes place on two moons, Dayar and Abedine, featuring key locations where players must align ground satellites with an orbital laser. Each moon has two significant areas—Dear Atrius and Lamina on Dayar, and Ruper and Riviera on Abedine. To align the orbital laser, players need to interact with three ground satellites at each location, which involves inserting comp boards into a control unit.
To access the comp boards, players must find blue key printers scattered around the buildings near the satellites. These blue keys unlock red key printers, allowing players to obtain the necessary red keys to access the security, comms, and admin rooms where the comp boards are stored. The guide encourages exploration to locate these printers, as they can often be seen through walls or windows near the main structures.
Once players have collected the required comp boards and aligned the satellites, they gain access to large orange batteries that need to be transported to the orbital laser station using a ship equipped with a max lift tractor beam. At the station, players must insert three of the batteries into terminals to power it up and generate an activation card for the laser.
Finally, players must return to the moon and enter a bunker located directly beneath the laser to insert the activation card. This action triggers the orbital laser to drill a cave into the surface, where players can mine for carite, the resource needed to gain favors from Wicko. The guide recommends tackling the event as a group and invites viewers to join the host during live streams for a collaborative experience.
