This video discusses several hidden features that will be released in Star Citizen in 2024, including Bounty Hunting 2.0, hacking, a reputation system, land claims, and various other updates. These features aim to enhance gameplay by introducing new missions, gameplay mechanics, and opportunities for players to interact with the game world.
In this video, the speaker discusses several hidden features that are expected to be released in Star Citizen in 2024. The first feature mentioned is Bounty Hunting 2.0, which will allow players to track criminals using various new backend technologies. Players will be able to take on new types of bounty hunting missions, capture bounties alive or dead, and transport them using cryopods. Security offices on space stations will serve as drop-off points for captured bounties.
The next feature discussed is hacking, which has been in development for over two years. Hacking in Star Citizen will involve a mini-game where players break into boxes, doors, and other systems. The hacking process will be represented through a pipe puzzle displayed on the player’s HUD. Hacking will also play a role in accessing locked cargo containers, which can be opened using hacking chips.
A new reputation system is also mentioned, which will take into account the player’s actions and choices in the game. This system will affect the types of missions and events available to the player, as well as their relationships with various factions in the game.
Land claims, the ability to claim and protect land in UEE territories, is another feature in development. This will allow players to establish bases and exploit resources, but trespassing or exploiting resources for too long will result in criminal ratings and potential encounters with security forces.
Lastly, the speaker mentions several other features that have been in development for some time, including new AR and weapon types, updates to Arena Commander, the addition of the RSI Apollo medical ship, a permissions and security system, underground facilities, building interiors, and the implementation of breakability and physical damage for ships and structures.
Overall, these hidden features are expected to enhance gameplay and provide players with new opportunities and challenges in the Star Citizen universe.
