In the December update for Star Citizen, the host announces a new giveaway of a Misk Starlancer Max, complete with a game package and Lifetime Insurance. To enter, viewers need to comment on any videos made during December. The host also mentions that they are still sorting out the winners from the November giveaway and will announce them on Reddit and in a video. The update highlights ongoing events, including the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo on Microtech, where players can rent and purchase a wide array of ships.
The “Save Stanton Chapter One” missions are currently available, allowing players to engage in combat against the Slicers. Completing these missions rewards players with permanent loot, including laser blasters. However, players are encouraged to finish these missions before the launch of Alpha 4.0, as they will not be accessible afterward. Although the exact release date for Alpha 4.0 is uncertain, the host anticipates it will go live by the end of December, with new content and gameplay features expected.
Alpha 4.0 is set to introduce significant changes, including the much-anticipated Pyro system and various new missions. The update will also bring new ships, such as the Mirai Guardian, and introduce gameplay mechanics like contested zones and loot extraction missions. The host expresses excitement about the upcoming features and the potential for new content to attract both new and returning players to the game.
In addition to the game updates, the video discusses the financial status of Cloud Imperium Games (CIG). The company has raised over $102 million this year but is trailing behind last year’s total. The host speculates that the upcoming 4.0 release could boost funding, especially if it generates enough hype. The video also touches on the upcoming end-of-year financial report from CIG, which will provide insights into the company’s health and future plans.
Finally, the host shares some personal updates, mentioning health issues and recent gaming experiences. They express enthusiasm for the upcoming Luminalia event, which typically runs from mid-December to just before Christmas, featuring daily rewards and themed activities. The host invites viewers to share their thoughts on the 4.0 release, expected ships, and suggestions for lore content, while encouraging engagement through comments and support for the channel.
