Star Citizen 4.10 introduces new “Relief” priority missions focused on combat and support tasks during the siege of Orison, featuring improved enemy AI but largely recycling familiar mission types with limited unique rewards. While the player appreciates the concept and combat challenges, they find the missions repetitive and not sufficiently rewarding to warrant extended play beyond reputation grinding.
The latest Star Citizen 4.10 patch introduces new priority missions called “Star Citizen Relief,” centered around aiding civilians affected by the siege of Orison. These missions fall under the contracts priority category and include various objectives such as stopping the Ninetailes regrouping, hauling materials, and combat tasks. Initially, all missions are unlocked, but progression will likely be required to access them later. The player focuses on ground and combat missions involving the Ninetailes faction, expressing particular interest in the combat aspects rather than fabrication or hauling tasks.
The ground mission involves a classic bunker scenario where the player must eliminate hostile Ninetailes forces without harming allies or non-combatants. Despite the mission’s familiar setup, the NPC enemies have been notably improved, presenting a tougher challenge with snipers capable of one-shot kills, which the player suspects might be due to desync issues. The player experiences intense combat, earning 500,000 credits per enemy kill, but finds the bunker lacking in unique loot, making the mission feel repetitive and less rewarding.
For the space combat mission, the player pilots an M80 and later a Corsair to defend an asteroid mining base from waves of enemy ships. The mission involves multiple waves of increasingly difficult enemies, including large ships and a Hammerhead, which the player finds overwhelming and frustrating due to radar issues and the sheer number of foes. Although the payout is 100,000 credits per wave, the player feels the mission is tedious and not worth the time or effort unless the rewards improve significantly.
Other mission types introduced include hauling and crafting tasks, such as delivering construction materials and supplies. However, the player expresses disinterest in these activities, preferring combat-oriented gameplay. Overall, while the new event adds variety, it heavily resembles previous mission types like the Xeno threat, leading to a sense of repetitiveness. The player plans to engage with the space combat missions only until they achieve full reputation, then likely move on unless future rewards justify continued participation.
In conclusion, the Star Citizen 4.10 relief missions offer some new content but largely recycle familiar gameplay elements with improved enemy AI. The player appreciates the concept but is critical of the repetitive nature and lack of compelling loot or rewards. They invite viewers to share their opinions on the event and whether they find it engaging enough to play regularly.
