Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - April 22, 2026
CIG’s April 22, 2026 Roadmap Roundup adds Nyx Missions Pack 2 to Alpha 4.7 and updates several Alpha 4.8 entries including the Novia Crossbow, Tailwind flight suit, and vehicle loadout recovery.
CIG’s latest Roadmap Roundup keeps the usual cadence rolling, with a reminder that anything sitting in the Star Citizen 1.0 column is planned for inclusion in or before that milestone, but may arrive earlier as it becomes ready and shifts into a point-release column. This week’s notable movement is focused on the Release View, with one Nyx mission pack marked released for Alpha 4.7 and several Alpha 4.8 entries seeing status or image updates.
It’s a fairly targeted update rather than a sprawling one, but there are a few items worth keeping on your mobiGlas radar—especially if you fancy quiet kills, refreshed weapon visuals, or the ever-useful business of keeping your vehicle loadouts intact. In other words: less fireworks, more meaningful plumbing, which in Star Citizen usually matters just as much.

Item Recovery: Vehicle Loadouts

This work also includes a major refactor of the Entitlement Service and an extension of the Item Imprint system to help ensure that player-owned vehicles persist reliably.
- This card has been set to Tentative.
