Happy Wednesday, everyone!
Every two weeks, we accompany the Roadmap update with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an effort to make our communications more transparent, more specific, and more insightful for all of you who help to make Star Citizen and Squadron 42 possible.
With that said, let’s go ahead and dive into this week’s Roadmap Roundup!

Notable Changes for April 19, 2023
Progress Tracker
With this update, we’re adding the majority of the Q2 2023 schedule for downstream teams, with additional teams coming in a subsequent publish.
The following deliverables have been added to Progress Tracker:
Headhunters Faction Outfits
Developing multiple outfit variants for the Pyro gang, the Headhunters. This deliverable has been added to the SC Character Art Team’s schedule.
Rough and Ready Faction Outfits
Developing multiple outfit variants for the Pyro gang, Rough and Ready. This deliverable has been added to the SC Character Art Team’s schedule.
New Missions – Mining Resource Rush
Various large clusters of asteroids around Stanton are being sold off by several organizations. For a fee, civilians are given access to these spatial mining claims and allowed to mine until the cluster is depleted, drawing many mining crews, and occasionally pirates, to these hotspots. This deliverable has been added to the Mission Feature Team’s schedule.
New Missions – Package Extraction
A new multiplayer mission where players will work together to recover stolen prototype ship components. Crusader Security tasks players with extracting these highly-classified components from the Nine Tails transport ships before they can escape off-world. This deliverable has been added to the Mission Feature and Narrative Teams’ schedules.
New Missions – Data Download
These missions task players with infiltrating ships defended by hostile NPCs to hack terminals, with both lawful and unlawful mission types. This deliverable has been added to the Mission Feature, Narrative, and VFX Teams’ schedules.
New Missions – Data Heist
Implementing missions that task players with infiltrating locations (often held by NPCs), reaching data stores, and setting data to upload to offsite handlers. This deliverable has been added to the Mission Feature, Narrative, and VFX Teams’ schedules.
That’s all for this week!
