Star Citizen What’s Coming February 2022?
In Star Citizen two things are certain ship sales and delays… there has been a mini-delay with the Roadmap and XenoThreat until next week… so not much of an issue but I did want to talk about that AND we’ve also had a THIS MONTH IN STAR CITIZEN going over what to look forward to in February 2022 and there is quite a lot. So what’s happening in February?
Alpha 3.16.1 is hitting the live servers this week, which includes a variety of fixes alongside the the debut of new derelict ships for you to explore. Complete with challenges and hazards such as laser trip mines, platforming, and more, these new locations add even more nooks and crannies to explore in the ‘verse, with some sweet loot in store for those who do.
Other than the XenoThreat issues 3.16.1 is getting close to being a release candidate with the latest Alpha 3.16.1h PTU only having a couple of fixes
- Character’s head, mobiGlas, and other equipment should no longer go missing after being released from Klescher
- Fixed an issue causing some loot crates at derelicts to spawn without loot
- Fixed 1 Client Crash
There are still known issues that should be solved before the live build if possible but it’s on the home straight.
XenoThreat Delays – XenoThreat Dynamic Event Update
Earlier this week, we’ve announced that our next run of the XenoThreat dynamic event will start this Friday, January 28th. Unfortunately, yesterday, during a test run on the PTU, some players discovered an issue that could sometimes cause the Javelin to despawn, blocking the progress for the server towards phase 3 of the event. We’re currently investigating and working on a fix for this issue. We’re expect the fix to be checked in by Monday, however we’d prefer to kickoff the event closer to the weekend so that more folks can jump into the fray together.
For this reason, XenoThreat phase 1 will now kick off on Thursday, February 3rd.
The forces of XenoThreat are making another push into Stanton, and the Civilian Defense Force at Jericho station has requested your help keeping them at bay. This is a server-wide event where everyone can join in and help fight back against the XenoThreat incursion.
Keep an eye out for more details, including a nifty XenoThreat new player guide, as we prepare for launch on February 3.

We also now have a Roadmap Update early Feb… Status as the January 26 one was delayed CI said:
Apologies for the late announcement on this, but in an effort to confirm a few more details, we’ll be moving the Roadmap Update & Roadmap Roundup to next Wednesday, February 2. We’re also aiming to release a detailed guide on the same day which should be a great resource for better understanding the different terminology and functionality available on the Public Roadmap.
