Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - April 8, 2026

CIG’s latest Roadmap Roundup keeps the usual cadence rolling, with a reminder that the 1.0 column covers content planned for Star Citizen 1.0 or earlier, meaning some of it can still move into a point patch before that milestone arrives. In other words, not everything in that column is waiting for the far horizon.

This update’s real movement sits in the Release View, where Alpha 4.7 sees a pair of vehicles cross the line, while Alpha 4.8 picks up several tentative additions ranging from cooperative fleet combat to fresh character customization. A small note also lands for the KSAR Plasma Grenade, though this one is more presentation than status shift.

Notable Changes: April 8, 2026

Release View

Alpha 4.7

MISC Hull B

CIG is implementing MISC’s Hull B, aimed at haulers ready to step up their cargo business to the next level and beyond.

• This card has been set to Released.

Greycat UTV

• This card has been set to Released.

Alpha 4.8

Tactical Strike Groups

CIG is implementing a new cooperative ship combat experience built around a series of objectives and challenges for a multi-role fleet. Players are encouraged to bring a diverse lineup, fit the right loadouts, and prepare to refuel and resupply both ships and FPS players on site to succeed.

• This card has been set to Tentative.

QV Extraction Stations

Located in the Nyx system, the QV Extraction Stations provide key infrastructure for the new Tactical Strike Groups content.

• This card has been set to Tentative.

New Hairstyles (4.8.0)

CIG is implementing seven new hairstyles and one new beard, alongside updates to one hairstyle and one beard to bring them up to current quality standards.

• This card has been set to Tentative.

Space Combat Mission - Defend Location

CIG is adding missions where players defend a location’s fuel tanks from NPC attackers. This includes one standalone mission and one compounding mission where players must juggle multiple conflicting priorities.

• This card has been set to Tentative.

KSAR Plasma Grenade

CIG is implementing the Kastak Arms area-denial grenade. Prime it, throw it, and it is meant to lock down an area and stop enemies from pushing through. Efficient, rude, and very much the point.

• This card's image has been updated.
