This week’s Star Citizen update, Alpha 4.9, launches alongside a packed schedule of new content, rewards, and community events.
July Subscriber Rewards and Alpha 4.9
Subscribers received their July rewards last week, including the Anvil Hornet Mk II as Ship of the Month and the Emoto Dashbot dashboard companion. A new episode of Inside Star Citizen titled Patch Report - Alpha 4.9 previews the update arriving later this week, featuring “dozens of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and content.”
New Repeatable Missions and Grey’s Market Tease
Recco Battaglia now offers a set of repeatable missions covering prospecting, mining, recovery, salvage, investigations, and ship reclamation. Building reputation with her unlocks additional opportunities and sets up future story chapters. Players on the PTU may have spotted a first look at the next offering from Grey’s Market, with more details coming in the next Behind the Ships episode alongside Alpha 4.9.
