In the latest Star Citizen updates, server meshing tests are progressing with new events and missions, including the Overdrive event and the St. Fortuna event. Additionally, a teaser for a new ship called the Raptor has been revealed, character customization updates have been discussed, and players are encouraged to participate in ongoing events to provide feedback for the game’s development.
In the latest Star Citizen news, server meshing tests are intensifying with the Overdrive event introducing a new mission chain called “Priority Targets” where players hunt down high-ranking Xeno Threat members. This event will run until May, offering rewards such as a 3-day rental of a military Hornet and a free ship upgrade. Additionally, a second server meshing test is underway, connecting two servers in the same star system to accommodate around 400 players.
Furthermore, the ongoing St. Fortuna event allows players to earn rewards by participating in special Arena Commander modes until March 26th. A teaser for a new ship named the Raptor has been unveiled, likely to be released during May’s Fleet Week. The ship is speculated to be a combat vessel, possibly small to medium in size, with its name hinting at its role and manufacturer.
The Star Citizen live Q&A session focused on character customization updates for Alpha 3.23. The character creator will feature existing and new head options, improved skin details, and updated skin tones. Players will be able to customize their characters through the character customizer menu, with the potential for in-game updates in the future. Customized characters will be saved through updates, although resets may occur based on development needs.
The character customizer will offer diverse eye colors in 3.23, with plans for more variety in hairstyles and body types in future updates. Players can export and import their customized characters using a new feature in 3.23. While facial expressions and lighting adjustments in the review tab are technically feasible, their implementation is uncertain. The possibility of scanning and importing photos for character creation is being considered.
Overall, Star Citizen enthusiasts are encouraged to participate in ongoing events, server meshing tests, and provide feedback on character customization features. The game’s development continues to evolve with new missions, ships, and customization options, promising an immersive and diverse experience for players.
