Hi everyone,

The Overdrive Initiative was the first event of its kind, and it’s been incredibly rewarding observing everyone dive into the various Missions with such enthusiasm. Beyond just the increase in engagement, we’ve gained valuable insights that will guide the development of future narrative events. With a wealth of feedback in hand, our team is already planning how to enhance future experiences and rewards in a way that resonates even more with our community.

To ensure clarity, let’s take a moment to recap key aspects of the current Overdrive Initiative’s status.

The XenoThreat menace has been repelled for now, and it’s unlikely the planned incursion will happen until after Invictus Launch Week (invading during a military expo is clearly a bad idea). As such, Overdrive Initiative Phases 1 - 5 will still be available for all volunteers right up until the XenoThreat assault begins.

If you’ve completed missions 1 - 5, you’ll receive a mission titled ‘Overdrive Initiative: Reward.’ Once accepted, you’ll be granted your F7A Hornet Mk II upgrade token and a seven-day day ship rental. To use the F7A Mk II rental during XenoThreat, hold off on accepting the ‘Overdrive Initiative: Reward’ mission until the event begins.

XenoThreat armor will be awarded once you’ve completed all Overdrive Initiative missions and the Overdrive-specific XenoThreat missions.

Alpha 3.23 also includes fixes to help those who have been struggling to complete Overdrive Initiative:

► A fix has been implemented to support volunteers who couldn’t complete Phase 5

► A temporary CVAR has been added to allow players to check their mission completion progress:

  • Login and enter Star Citizen
  • Open the console by pressing the ` (grave accent) key (to the left of ‘1’ on your keyboard, though it may show a different character depending on your layout)
  • In the box, type mission_log_all_completed_missions and press enter (make sure you include underscores and don’t capitalize)
  • You will then be able to view your Overdrive Initiative mission completion information. If you’re missing anything, check the Priority tab in the Contract Manager to see any incomplete missions
  • We hope you’re enjoying Overdrive Initiative, and we appreciate your feedback on this first-of-its-kind event in the 'verse!

Once again, we want to thank you all for your participation! See you in-game!

TL;DR:

  • Final phase of The Overdrive Initiative moved until after Invictus.
  • Still possible to finish the missions if you didn’t,
  • 3.23 will bring fixes that should make this easier.
  • You can check your progress using mission_log_all_completed_missions command in the console.
