Full transcript

1. 0:00Hello and welcome to some more Star
2. 0:02Citizen. It is Tuesday the 15th of
3. 0:04September 2026. In today's news, alpha
4. 0:084.10.1 is coming to live later this
5. 0:10week. We've got a host of updates with
6. 0:12that patch and lots and lots of fixes,
7. 0:14optimizations, and stuff like that,
8. 0:15which we will talk about. We've also got
9. 0:17the latest this week in Star Citizen.
10. 0:19So, I will start with that and then sort
11. 0:21of fold the out for 4.10.1 10.1 updates
12. 0:24into that like I'm trying to make a
13. 0:25delicious cake or a meringue or
14. 0:26something but with tasty tasty Star
15. 0:29Citizen news from but this week in Star
16. 0:31Citizen Post. Last week saw the return
17. 0:33of Pirate Week putting the lawless side
18. 0:35of the verse back in the spotlight
19. 0:37alongside this year's festivities. A
20. 0:39golden pirate week 2026 to bloom is
21. 0:42waiting to be claimed by those clever
22. 0:43enough to crack the code. Keep a sharp
23. 0:45eye on Spectrum, our newsletters and
24. 0:47social channels, while the Pirate Week
25. 0:49flag flies, as you'll need to piece
26. 0:52together clues to uncover the hidden
27. 0:54treasure. I believe Pirate Week is
28. 0:56ending on the 28th of September or
29. 0:59around then. More clues are coming
30. 1:01across a variety of media from CI. Back
31. 1:04to the post, though, and if you're
32. 1:06looking to make a name for yourself, our
33. 1:08ongoing Most Wanted contest is still
34. 1:10open. Snap an in-game screenshot of your
35. 1:12character, then fill in the poster with
36. 1:14a bounty worthy of your reputation. Cig
37. 1:16then include a treasure hunt clue in
38. 1:18this post. A vast set course for Pyro
39. 1:21amidst the roughest rigs in dust choked
40. 1:24orbit. There be one that offers no rest
41. 1:26from the edge. I cold and unforgiving it
42. 1:29be. Hunt it down and when you find it,
43. 1:32count every piece within the hologram.
44. 1:34Not the shell, but what lies inside. We
45. 1:38also published a new road map update
46. 1:40adding the new event Orison relief
47. 1:42support to alpha 4.10.1.
48. 1:45Looking further ahead to alpha 4.11, we
49. 1:48shared a fresh glimpse of Nyx 3's
50. 1:50atmosphere alongside a first look at
51. 1:51lightning bolt company's DMR, the
52. 1:54Scarov. Alpha 4.11 has been delayed till
53. 1:58sometime in Q4 2026, but it's been a
54. 2:03little vague at the moment exactly when
55. 2:04that will be. It will contain the
56. 2:06planets of Nyx one, two, and three, the
57. 2:07new Planet Tech V5, Genesis, and
58. 2:11Staritect. A load of stuff for
59. 2:13generating planets and lots of content
60. 2:14on them with Nyx one being the poster
61. 2:16boy for that. We've got videos covering
62. 2:18that if you are interested. So, what's
63. 2:20actually going on this week in Star
64. 2:22Citizen? Cig are targeting the release
65. 2:24of alpha 4.10.1 10.1 later this week,
66. 2:26bringing another round of technical and
67. 2:29bug fixes, including fixes to ASOP
68. 2:31terminals and ship statuses, a fix for
69. 2:34Mendo Ren's HMG spawn issues, and more.
70. 2:38In the latest 4.10.1 build, it was
71. 2:42actually a release candidate build. They
72. 2:44are very close to releasing it. CI said
73. 2:46this build has further work to get
74. 2:484.10.1 10.1 ready for live later this
75. 2:50week, including further stability
76. 2:51updates and changes, as well as removing
77. 2:54the extra PTU logging and debugging.
78. 2:56People on the PTU may have noticed quite
79. 2:58a significant frame rate improvement and
80. 3:01much more stable frame rates. CIG say
81. 3:04they are still going through bug reports
82. 3:06and issue council reports trying to get
83. 3:08as many fixes as they can in this patch.
84. 3:10The update will also introduce the
85. 3:13Orison relief support event. I believe
86. 3:15this is a limited time event, but you'll
87. 3:18be lending a hand in rebuilding Orison
88. 3:20through missions spanning resource
89. 3:23gathering, crafting, hauling, and
90. 3:24combat. Following your feedback from the
91. 3:26PTU, CIG say, "We've significantly
92. 3:29reduced the requirements needed to
93. 3:30complete the event, while its blueprints
94. 3:32have been removed from the reward track
95. 3:34and instead will be granted directly to
96. 3:37your account. So, this is that they're
97. 3:40going to be on your account permanently.
98. 3:41They're going to be immune to wipes.
99. 3:43you're going to have them after 1.0 of
100. 3:45the game goes live. We'll keep hammering
101. 3:47on alpha 4.10.1 in the PTU ahead of its
102. 3:50live release later this week while work
103. 3:52continues on alpha 4.11 which we now
104. 3:54know is going to be released sometime in
105. 3:56Q4 2026. What are the full features of
106. 3:594.10.1? Well, there's that Orison relief
107. 4:01support event. In the wake of the
108. 4:03Ninetails attack on Orison, Crusader
109. 4:05Industries is hosting a relief
110. 4:06initiative to help rebuild the affected
111. 4:08regions and upgrade their defenses.
112. 4:10Players can take on a rotating slate of
113. 4:12contracts [music]
114. 4:13through the mobile glass and earn points
115. 4:14towards a shared reward track that
116. 4:16unlocks blueprints for new weapons and
117. 4:19armor along the way. Contracts include
118. 4:22gather and deliver, which are
119. 4:24construction aid, medical aid, hauling
120. 4:27and delivery missions, crafted aid, very
121. 4:29similar, but you're crafting something
122. 4:31and then delivering. I believe in this
123. 4:33case prototype thrusters. There's also a
124. 4:36set of combat missions for this. There's
125. 4:37a ship ambush one which has you
126. 4:39intercepting and destroying enemy ships.
127. 4:41There's a ship wave attack one which is
128. 4:43defending against waves of ships. And
129. 4:44then there's an eliminate all FPS one
130. 4:46which is clear out nine tales from some
131. 4:48outposts in FPS combat. Completing any
132. 4:51of those contracts earns points towards
133. 4:53a single shared reward track and you
134. 4:56gain the rewards as you go along and
135. 4:58they're permanently added to your
136. 4:59account which is really really cool.
137. 5:01What I should actually say is I really
138. 5:02like this. I think this is the way to do
139. 5:04things for rewards. As long as they're
140. 5:06not gamebreaking rewards where they're
141. 5:09limited time and [music] if you don't
142. 5:11get them, you have a significant
143. 5:12disadvantage when the game does go to
144. 5:141.0. But I like this idea for different
145. 5:17weapon variants that are just a little
146. 5:19bit different or visually different
147. 5:20skins and things, armors. I'd actually
148. 5:23like them to do this for sub items and
149. 5:25the monthly bundles. Actually have them
150. 5:27as blueprints that are allocated to your
151. 5:28account. Really, really like that idea.
152. 5:30But we'll see what they do in the
153. 5:31future. Tell me what you think in the
154. 5:32comments below about that. There are
155. 5:34some other updates as well. They've got
156. 5:37freight elevator updates. There's a
157. 5:38limit how much you can put on the
158. 5:40platform so it can't be overloaded.
159. 5:43They've done a hauling contract
160. 5:44distribution update to make locations
161. 5:47more appropriate to SCU amounts and
162. 5:50weights and what sort of cargo they want
163. 5:52picked up and delivered. There's also
164. 5:54some shard recovery updates which should
165. 5:56help prevent shard lock of not being
166. 5:58able to get back in the game because
167. 6:00your character's locked in a shard.
168. 6:02There's a huge amount of bug fixes and
169. 6:04optimizations in that patch. We're not
170. 6:06expecting any of the experimental ship
171. 6:08balance updates that CI have been
172. 6:10performing with the tech preview and
173. 6:12Iardi to be included in this patch
174. 6:14either. There's no planned wipe and that
175. 6:164.10.1 build could go live anytime
176. 6:19between now and the weekend. Going back
177. 6:22to this week in Star Citizen post
178. 6:24though, Friday you'll see an RSI
179. 6:26newsletter. I'll chuck that in my news
180. 6:28that I do on Saturdays or Sundays. On
181. 6:30Saturday the 19th of September, CI are
182. 6:34heading to Milan. Not all of them.
183. 6:35They're turning up to Italy Milan for
184. 6:38another bar citizen as part of their
185. 6:40world tour. They say, "Join us at the
186. 6:43Titan Gaming Center from 7 PM for an
187. 6:45evening with fellow citizens and members
188. 6:48of the development team, swapping
189. 6:49stories, sharing feedback, and
190. 6:51celebrating Star Citizen together. We
191. 6:53can't wait to meet you there. So, come
192. 6:54say ciao and raise a glass with us. If
193. 6:57you can't join us in Milan, there are
194. 6:59plenty of other bar citizens to check

198. 7:08and New Mexico, Albuquerque. Rally with
199. 7:11fellow citizens and share your best
200. 7:13pictures on social media. So yeah,

202. 7:17sales, and the skins and lots of other
203. 7:19random stuff to be getting on with.
204. 7:214.10.1 will be coming out real shortly.
205. 7:23I wonder if that will also turn up with
206. 7:26that Saber Raven looking ship or Saber
207. 7:28Raven sounding ship that we saw teased
208. 7:31over the weekend. Whatever your

216. 7:45Star More and get involved with events
217. 7:47like this? When do you think alpha
