In this week’s Star Citizen Week in Review, Salty Mike discusses the latest updates and events happening in the game. CIG (Cloud Imperium Games) has been running events, which has sparked discussions about whether they are listening to player feedback. The Mission Feature Team provided an overload of updates, including the introduction of a new Salvage Mission type called “Cover-Up.” In this mission, players are hired to remove identifiable markings and paint from a ship, with a time limit to complete the task. The mission’s success or failure is determined by whether the ship is cleaned in time, adding a sense of urgency for players. Additionally, reputation and bonuses are now tied into these missions, providing more incentive for players to engage with them.
The review also touches on other mission updates, such as a bar challenge and a cargo retrieval mission. The bar challenge allows players to buy information and compete in a PvP setting, while the cargo retrieval mission introduces different companies with unique loot. Overall, the updates aim to provide players with more diverse and engaging mission experiences.
In addition to mission updates, news about a new vehicle called the Tumbril Cyclone Turok is shared, along with the celebration of Alien Week and the release of a Banu-themed trinket. The review concludes with a reminder to check out Salty Mike’s live streams on Twitch and a thank you to the sponsor, Surfshark VPN.
