In the Inside Star Citizen initiative indicative video released on April 11, 2024, CIG introduced the new set of missions called Overdrive. These missions involve experimentation with MMO-centric gameplay and are divided into five stages that are updated weekly based on player feedback. The missions aim to provide an immersive experience by incorporating a backstory to engage players.
Phase one of the missions requires players to capture and hold a server room against waves of AI enemies, presenting a significant challenge. Developers received positive feedback on this phase, especially when played with a group of players. Phase two involves a bounty mission where players must eliminate a target, retrieve a decryption key, and progress to the next objective. Phase three introduces an incursion scenario where players must cooperate to fend off waves of Xeno threats.
In phase four, players face a more complex challenge as three communication arrays come under attack. This phase emphasizes the importance of teamwork, as solo play is deemed highly unlikely to succeed. The attackers include ships that can hack the arrays, adding a strategic element to the gameplay. Players eventually discover that this assault was a diversion for a larger attack on S spk.
Phase five focuses on a delivery mission to resupply before the final battle against the Xeno threat in phase six. This phase introduces changes to the mission structure, including new commodities and elements of capture the itus. Players are encouraged to board and investigate a ship to uncover the story behind the mission. The developers aim to provide the community with engaging content in the persistent universe beyond regular activities.
