Star Citizen Alpha 4.10 Patch Notes Breakdown

        Everything that changed in Star Citizen Alpha 4.10 — the return of Siege of Orison, Recco Battaglia in Levski, the Wikelo Emporium ship exchange, a full loot generation pass, rebalanced hydrogen and quantum fuel, reworked vehicle armor, new ASOP claim pricing, and the Arlington Rifle and BUL-H4 armor.
    
        [SOO_V2] // SIEGE_OF_ORISONSiege of Orison returns as an Instancing on Demand mission for up to four players in a closed instance. Access it via instance elevators near the Crusader showroom in Orison, featuring reworked platforms, a new Nine Tails visual hierarchy and armor set, and unlimited medical bed respawn checkpoints.

        [RECCO_NYX] // RECCO_BATTAGLIA_RETURNSRecco Battaglia arrives as an in-person mission giver in Levski, offering three introductory story missions followed by repeatable contracts spanning rock cracking, miner defense, and item recovery, with rewards leaning toward mining modules and fabrication blueprints.

        [WIKELO_EXCH] // WIKELO_EXCHANGE_UPDATESWikelo’s Emporium introduces a ship exchange where you craft a specific item using a single-use blueprint and turn it in via freight elevator to claim your ship. Armor and weapon exchanges now permanently grant you the blueprint for what you earn so you can remake it later.

        [LOOT_PASS] // LOOT_GENERATION_PASSLoot boxes and weapon caches have been thoroughly overhauled, with weapon caches holding double their previous volume and large weapon attachments and MedGel appearing much more reliably across common and rare containers.

        [FUEL_REBAL] // HYDROGEN_&_QUANTUM_FUELHydrogen and quantum fuel tanks have been rebalanced across the fleet with smaller capacities and reduced consumption rates, accompanied by substantially increased fuel prices and updated refueling missions.

        [VEH_ARMOR] // VEHICLE_ARMOR_UPDATEDestroyed armor no longer mitigates damage, and damage dealt to armor now scales directly with its own condition and resistance rather than bypassing it when depleted.

        [CLAIMS_PRICING] // PRICING,_CLAIMS_&_AVAILABILITYASOP claims now scale with vehicle value and equipped components, featuring a convenience expedite fee capped at a tenth of standard rates, while ordnance prices have sharply increased.

        [GUNS_GEAR] // BUL-H4_&_ARLINGTON_RIFLEThe super-heavy BUL-H4 armor and Apocalypse Arms Vendetta heavy machine gun arrive alongside the new ballistic lever-action HDGW Arlington Rifle, featuring switchable DMR and shotgun fire modes.

Select a Verified Game Package. If you spot a discounted Warbond edition, prioritize it. Always verify the package contains the Star Citizen Digital Download licence before checkout.

⚠

LIMITED AVAILABILITY ALERT Store inventory rotates dynamically and pricing is not static. Many starter packages are event-exclusive and vanish without warning — Warbond discounts revert to full MSRP once the event window closes. If your preferred hull is listed at a reduced price, lock it in today. If unavailable, secure any active starter package — the CCU system lets you upgrade to a different hull later at the price difference.

Create Your Character & Set Home to Lorville

On first launch, choose Lorville on Hurston as your Primary Residence. Hurston sits at the centre of the Stanton system — closer to every other planet — meaning shorter quantum travel times from day one. TEASA Spaceport is one of the most intuitive ports in the game and the on-site New Deal Dealership lets you buy ships with in-game aUEC the moment you can afford them.
