⏱ 10 min video · 3 min read17 Jun 2026
TL;DR
Star Citizen Alpha 4.8.2 is now live, bringing Alien Week festivities, bug fixes, and two new flyable Gatac ships: the Railen cargo ship and the Tyilui snub carrier. The video covers ship specs, pricing, Alien Week store offerings, a community building contest, and a Gatac Railen giveaway running through June 2026.
Key points
1
Alpha 4.8.2 is live with bug fixes including stuck character states, Ironclad issues, escort mission problems, and ATC/docking port fixes.
2
The Gatac Railen is now flyable: 640 SCU cargo, four size-4 pilot weapons, two manned turrets each with two size-4 guns, two remote tractor beams — priced $360-$400.
3
The Gatac Tyilui (based on the Railen hull) is a snub carrier with 96 SCU cargo, two extra size-3 remote turrets, one tractor beam, and a gravity-tech hangar holding ~4 snubs (Pit Bulls and Furies recommended) — sold with a pack including four Furies.
4
Alien Week features the full alien ship lineup on sale including the Banu Merchantman ($600-$650), Esperia Blade ($275), Esperia Glaive ($350), Santokoi ($240), and others, plus a Vandal Swarm Arena Commander reward (Esperia Glaive unlock at wave 25).
5
A Xenocraft community contest requires handmade physical creations inspired by Star Citizen alien cultures, with progress photos required and AI-generated content banned — top 3 entries win alien ships.
Key updates
→
The Gatac Railen is priced at $360-$400, which the creator notes is significantly higher than expected — factor this in before upgrading.
→
The Banu Merchantman ($600 war bond upgrade, $650 store credit) is flagged as likely very popular but will not be flyable for a long time, possibly not discussed more until 2027.
→
To unlock the Esperia Glaive during Alien Week, reach wave 25 in the Vandal Swarm Arena Commander mode — this is a limited-time reward.
→
The Xenocraft contest requires handmade physical submissions with progress photos; AI-generated content is explicitly disqualified, and top 3 prizes are alien ships.
→
A Gatac Railen giveaway (with lifetime insurance and game package) runs through June 2026 — one entry per video comment, across all BoredGamer videos published in June.
Notable quotes
“I do think it's going to be closer to $900 when it is flyable.”
“There's sort of an airshielded hangar bay in the back, but also some creative use of gravity tech to allow players to run around the hangar, literally go upside down to get into your snub.”
“I get alien tax on a lot of these ships and by that I mean they're a lot more expensive than their human counterparts would be.”
