The recent Star Citizen presentation at CitizenCon unveiled new ships and vehicles, including the Grav Construction C for base building and the versatile MK Star Lancers, while also teasing upcoming additions like the Pioneer and various industrial-themed ships. Players can look forward to exciting developments and the chance to fly new models during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo in November, as community engagement and anticipation for enhanced gameplay experiences continue to grow.
In the recent Star Citizen presentation at CitizenCon, a wealth of new ships and vehicles were revealed, along with teasers for upcoming additions over the next year. The focus was on the “Captains of Industry” theme, where the Grav Construction C was introduced as the smallest option for players interested in base building. This vehicle can fit into various ships and utilizes drones for construction, with larger drones capable of building bigger structures. The Argo CSV, a construction support vehicle, was also highlighted, featuring two models: the FM fabrication model and the SM supply model, the latter of which is currently available for purchase.
The presentation also showcased the MK Star Lancers, which are larger than the Freelancer and designed for base building and combat. The MK Star Lancer build BL variant includes four large drones, while the combat-focused TAC variant is available for $295. Additionally, the Star Lancer Max, a cargo carrier variant, will be flyable during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) in November, offering 224 SCU of cargo space. The Pioneer was discussed as well, undergoing a redesign to become a self-sustaining mobile factory rather than just a base builder, and will feature various crafting facilities and large drones for building.
Notably, the Pioneer will allow players to construct space stations by building the initial section, after which the station can expand. While it won’t be available immediately upon the launch of base building, production is set to begin soon. The presentation also teased several ships that are expected to be flyable during the upcoming IAE, including the Muray Guardian, Crusader Intrepid, and Polaris, while the Legionnaire will be delayed until hacking gameplay is introduced.
The video also provided insights into additional ships and vehicles currently in development. These include variants of the Hornet, potential new Graycat vehicles, and various industrial-themed ships. Some of the teased models are expected to be available within the next 12 months, reflecting the ongoing progress in ship development mentioned by John Crew during the event. The anticipation surrounding these new additions is high, especially for players eager to engage in base building and other gameplay mechanics.
Finally, the video encouraged viewers to share their thoughts on the new ships and upcoming features, including speculation on the unidentified vessels shown during the presentation. With the promise of exciting developments and the upcoming IAE, fans of Star Citizen have much to look forward to in the coming months, including the chance to participate in giveaways and support the channel through various means. The enthusiasm for the game’s evolution and community engagement remains strong as players await new gameplay experiences.
