"Hello Citizens!
Today I want to talk about the four upcoming star systems and what their development implies. Enjoy!

In this video, the speaker discusses upcoming star systems in the game Star Citizen, particularly focusing on those that may be released after server meshing is implemented. The first star system mentioned is Pyro, which has an unstable star that emits deadly radiation, making it dangerous but visually stunning. Pyro is home to many gangs and outlaws, as well as people who choose to live outside the jurisdiction of the UEE (United Empire of Earth). The next star system discussed is Magnus, which was initially intended for military development but was abandoned. It has become a haven for individuals seeking to escape their poor reputation in more developed systems. The ship manufacturer Drake Interplanetary has taken an interest in Magnus, potentially bringing new life to the system.
Tera, another upcoming star system, is described as a major trade, resource, and population hub with large cities and settlements. It will require a significant amount of bespoke assets and new planetary acids, but its implementation will be a major milestone for the game and its mechanics. Tera also serves as a gateway system, with jump points leading to various territories, including those of alien races. Lastly, the speaker mentions NYX, a star system with some of their favorite locations in Star Citizen. While it is unclear when NYX will be released, it has major resource reserves in its asteroid fields and promises exciting mining opportunities.
The speaker acknowledges that there are technical challenges in implementing new star systems, with server meshing being the primary blocker. However, CIG (Cloud Imperium Games) has shown a demo of server meshing and is working on scaling the implementation. Additionally, there is a need for more assets and bespoke work to create populated planets and diverse landscapes. The speaker believes that Pyro may be released within the year, with other star systems following in the next two years. The video concludes by asking viewers which star system they believe should be prioritized and whether CIG should focus on releasing more star systems or new ships.
