In the latest update for Star Citizen, the focus is on the Alpha 4.1 and 4.1.1 patches, along with rumors surrounding the Anvil Paladin gunship, which is expected to debut during Fleet Week. The developers, Cloud Imperium Games (CI), have been working on a new build for Alpha 4.1.1, originally planned for an EVA test that was postponed due to the build being redlit. However, there are indications that this test may occur over the weekend, with hopes of rolling out more updates early next week. The main goal for these tests is to assess stability while potentially introducing some new features.
Alpha 4.1 has seen a significant number of fixes, with CI actively investigating ongoing issues related to service modables. They have also released a hotfix aimed at addressing client crashes experienced by players when entering ships and problems with item carrying. The hotfix build features multiple fixes, including improvements for MFD client crashes and cargo issues. CI is committed to ensuring a stable gaming experience by integrating these fixes into the main build as they become confirmed.
The video shifts focus to the Anvil Paladin gunship, which was first introduced as a concept during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo in November 2024. The Paladin is designed as a formidable combat ship, emphasizing its role in defending the United Empire of Earth with advanced weaponry. It is expected to arrive during Fleet Week, supported by rumors and data mining findings, although CI has not officially confirmed its presence. The Paladin is characterized as a true gunship, with no cargo capacity but capable of accommodating up to four crew members.
The Paladin features a robust arsenal, including four size five main turret lasers and six size four missile racks, making it a powerful contender in combat scenarios. Its design includes dual remote turrets that can be manned by crew members, allowing the pilot to focus on navigation. The ship’s layout consists of two decks, with the upper deck housing the cockpit and communal areas, while the lower deck contains gunner pits and suit lockers. This configuration supports a variety of crew dynamics, whether fully crewed or piloted solo.
Finally, the video encourages viewer engagement by inviting comments on expectations for Fleet Week and the Paladin’s arrival. The host also mentions a ship giveaway for April, where viewers can win a Drake Golem, and promotes various products, including NordVPN and Thrustmaster joysticks.
