Summary
Star Citizen Alpha 4.10.1 is now live, bringing the Orison Relief Support event alongside new vehicles, gameplay improvements, loot changes, and quality-of-life fixes. The update adds the Aegis Sabre Raven EX and Argo ATLS IKTI Akuma while giving players a limited-time opportunity to earn exclusive SecondWind gear. Players looking to prepare for missions and upgrades can also buy Star Citizen AUEC while exploring the latest update.
Aegis Sabre Raven EX Arrives
The Aegis Sabre Raven EX is one of the biggest additions in Alpha 4.10.1. It combines elements of the standard Sabre and original Sabre Raven, featuring four S3 weapon hardpoints. Its performance sits between the two variants, offering more speed than the Sabre and more armor than the original Raven, while sacrificing some stealth and agility.
The Raven EX also comes with a Quantum Dampener, allowing it to prevent nearby ships from entering quantum travel. This makes it particularly useful for interception and stopping targets from escaping.
ATLS IKTI Akuma Brings Nine Tails Style
The Argo ATLS IKTI Akuma adds a combat-focused alternative to the earnable ATLS GEO IKTI. It features a unique Nine Tails-inspired design, plasma repeaters with splash damage, and a modified jump pack that provides greater distance and fuel capacity at the cost of some vertical jump height.
Orison Relief Support & Limited-Time Rewards
The main gameplay feature is Orison Relief Support, a limited-time event following the Nine Tails attack. Players can accept contracts covering resource gathering, crafting, medical deliveries, hauling, salvage, space combat, and FPS missions.
Every completed contract contributes to a personal progression track. Six SecondWind rewards are available: the S-38 pistol, FBL-8a light armor, P4-AR rifle, ORC-mkX medium armor, Lumin V SMG, and ADP-mk4 heavy armor. These are granted as finished items rather than blueprints.
Loot & Gameplay Improvements
Alpha 4.10.1 also improves creature and plant loot quality by introducing graded quality brackets. Several harvestable resources can now have different quality levels, making it worth checking gathered materials before selling or crafting with them. Barrel compensators and stabilizers have also been added more broadly to the general loot pool.
Ground vehicles now have a soft death state, while cargo distribution and other systems receive additional adjustments. Players can also use cheap Star Citizen AUEC for missions, equipment, and upgrades.
Final Thoughts
For players returning to the 'Verse, Alpha 4.10.1 offers several reasons to jump back in. The Raven EX and Akuma expand vehicle options, while Orison Relief Support provides multiple ways to earn exclusive SecondWind equipment before the limited-time event ends. With hauling, crafting, combat, and looting all contributing to progression, there is plenty to explore in this update.
