In a video titled “SaltEMike Reacts to Roadmap Roundup November 15, 2023,” SaltEMike discusses the latest updates to Star Citizen’s roadmap. The updates include player hair, derrick settlements, Arena Commander map additions, multi-crew functionality, turret training, salvaging and refining materials, and storing smaller items in large cargo containers, with some anticipated updates like armors and Cloud Tech potentially being included in future updates.
SaltEMike discusses the latest updates to Star Citizen’s roadmap. He hopes for more additions to the December patch, as the current roadmap looks light compared to the recent Citizen Con event. Two new road map updates are expected, with more content to be added.
The updates mentioned include the release of the player hair update, which has passed final review and is committed. SaltEMike recalls seeing some of the new hairstyles in previous previews. Additionally, there will be new derrick settlements with both gameplay and social elements, although the details of these social elements are unclear.
Arena Commander will also see updates, with the addition of two new maps: Bloodshot Ridge and Maker’s Point. Both maps will be available in all FPS modes and flight modes, excluding race and pirate swarm. The update will also bring multi-crew functionality to various game modes, allowing players to bring more ships, like the Hurricane, into Squadron battle and other modes. Turret training will also be implemented, providing an opportunity for pilots to improve their turret gunning skills.
The roadmap currently displays the player hair update and derrick settlements. Other notable updates include the ability to transform salvaged material from ships into refined material using the grinder systems on ships like the Vulture and Reclaimer. Additionally, players will be able to store smaller items in large cargo containers.
SaltEMike expresses excitement for structural salvage and the potential to refine materials with cargo ships. He mentions that the armors and Cloud Tech are missing from the patch but believes they may be included in future updates. Overall, SaltEMike is satisfied with the roadmap, particularly with the addition of structural salvage and the replication layer update.
