Star Citizen 4.7.2 patch summary: what changed

Alpha 4.7.2 is a focused mission content update that expands contract options across Nyx and Stanton without introducing new ships or major systems changes.

Missions — Nyx Mission Pack 2

• A second wave of contracts arrives in Nyx as new criminal factions pressure both the People's Alliance and legitimate operators in the system.
• New work spans multiple archetypes: courier runs, cargo recovery, ship bounties, wave-based combat, bombing strikes, and paid salvage.

Delivery & Logistics

• Courier contracts from organizations in Stanton and Nyx involve moving two-handed deliverables between outposts, stations, and landing zones.
• Recover Cargo missions send players to locate abandoned or lost cargo floating in space, with hauls ranging from a single 1 SCU crate up to six.

Combat

• Ship Wave Attack contracts pit players against coordinated enemy fighter groups in Nyx and Pyro, with each wave triggering only after the previous one is cleared.
• Bombing Run missions are back in the persistent universe, targeting fuel infrastructure and fortified installations in Stanton in both lawful and unlawful flavors.
• Bounty contracts in Nyx mark specific criminal vessels operating near Rock Cracker sites for destruction.

Salvage

• Adagio is now issuing lawful paid salvage work system-wide, directing contractors to derelict ships ready to be stripped and processed.
