This week’s Star Citizen Week in Review discusses the return of the highly requested feature of being able to buy a lot of ships in the game. The video also highlights bug fixes for the Siege of Orison mission, tests conducted by the Arena Commander team, updates on Squadron 42 development, and previews a new cave type.
In this week’s Star Citizen Week in Review, the focus is on the return of one of the most requested features in the game. Players can now buy a lot of ships again, which has been highly anticipated. The video also mentions the host’s Twitch livestreams and thanks viewers for their support.
The week’s patches mainly addressed bug fixes for the Siege of Orison mission. There were no updates or fixes for other aspects of the game, which suggests that the mission team is currently prioritizing this particular area. A replication layer test was planned to assess server recovery, but it was not released as expected. However, the host believes it will likely be available in the next week.
The Arena Commander team conducted tests for three modes: Duo Showdown, Kill Collector, and Gun Rush. These tests were part of the transition of the Arena Commander team to the Persistent Universe team. The Squadron 42 monthly report focused on animations, gameplay features, the star map, and character customization. The takedown progression animations, landing UI, and character customizer are some of the features being worked on for future updates.
The sneak peek of the week showcased a new cave type, which is described as more damp and potentially more interactive than previous caves. A ship sale was also announced, allowing players to purchase ships that were sold in 2023. The sale includes the highly sought-after F8C, although some players have expressed mixed feelings about its availability. Additionally, it was mentioned that players will soon be able to purchase in-game ships that were sold during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2023.
Overall, it was a slow week in terms of updates and patches, likely due to the holiday season. However, the host expects more activity and announcements in the coming weeks, including the return of Inside Star Citizen (ISC). The video concludes with a call to leave comments, like the video, and subscribe for future Star Citizen Week in Review episodes.
