Star Citizen Roadmap Roundup - April 22, 2026
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.

Visual materials and textures are being updated for the following weapons and equipment: Deadrig Shotgun + Kastak Arms: Custodian, Ravager, Scalpel, Coda, Devastator.

Item Recovery: Vehicle Loadouts
Players are set to gain the ability to save and claim vehicle loadouts through ASOP Terminals. Claimed vehicles and their components will become bricked after a period of time. 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.
