The traditional mini-event “Pirate Week” has kicked off in the space sandbox “Star Citizen”, providing players with themed activities and festive specials. Users can participate in the search for hidden golden doubloons, with clues posted on the project’s official website, forums and social networks. The Arena Commander mod once again opens up the pirate swarm mode, the developers launched a creative contest to find the most wanted posters for their characters, and added new ship skins to the in-game store.
The press release also talks about Cloud Imperium Games’ plans to develop an alpha version of the game. According to the updated roadmap, Alpha 4.10 will introduce resource mining, cargo transportation, and combat missions to help rebuild Orison. The next Alpha 4.11 update, which includes development of Planet Nyx III and a new assault rifle with electric shock damage, has been delayed until the fourth quarter of this year.
