In the latest episode of Inside Star Citizen, the mission feature team discusses updates to the space station Correa, introducing enhanced security and the opportunity to acquire valuable items through defeating the security chief. They also highlight plans for improving the prison experience, including the addition of NPC prisoners, stashes, and new missions, to provide more variety and opportunities for players.
In the latest episode of Inside Star Citizen, the mission feature team highlights the updates they have been making. One of the major changes is the renovation of the space station Correa. Correa used to be a popular hub for PvP gameplay, but with the addition of security depots and crime stat hacks, its PvP draw was diminished. To bring back its former glory, Crusader has moved in and players will have to face beefed-up security, enemies on the landing pad, and Crusader security inside the station. Players can take out the security chief to acquire a security code and access a contraband dispenser, which contains valuable items and worthless rubbish. The Crime Stat system has also been tweaked, removing the ability to wipe crime stats at UGF.
The focus then shifts to prisons, specifically Kleischer. Currently, there are four ways to escape prison: waiting, mining, escaping, and repairing things for Kleischer. However, the mission feature team recognizes the need for more variety and opportunities. They are exploring the addition of NPC prisoners in the prison caves, with the potential for players to kill them and acquire items that could reduce their sentence. They are also looking to introduce stashes in the tunnels, containing items previously available at vending machines, as well as contraband. Additionally, they want to reward players for taking out violent inmates, provide more ways for model prisoners to pay off their crimes, and introduce a new mission that allows players to work inside the prison for external entities.
The team acknowledges the importance of listening to player feedback and iterating on previous features. The renovations at Correa and the enhancements in Kleischer are just some of the steps being taken to improve PvP combat and the prison experience in the persistent universe. They emphasize the ongoing evolution and development of all aspects of Star Citizen and the importance of looking back while pushing forward. Finally, the episode concludes with a reminder about the Ship Showdown, where players can vote for the best Star Citizen ships and vehicles for a chance to win exclusive rewards.
