Cloud Imperium Games is getting flak from the Star Citizen community after the studio failed to deliver most of the features promised in last week’s Alpha 3.16 update. The team had apparently released just three of the 18 features that were supposed to come with the update, with another two arriving in Alpha 3.16.1.

The studio’s updated roadmap shows that the features in question have been shuffled into future updates and will be coming out within the first half of 2022. The DNA head textures update, ship to ship refueling, and mining gadgets have now been moved to Alpha 3.17 which is expected to come out in Q1 2022, while the Multi-Tool Salvage Attachment and the Hull-C Heavy Cargo Hauler have been pushed back to Alpha 3.18 which is scheduled for release sometime in Q2 2022.

Downvote away, but it is what it is... 3 out of 18 planned items actually made it into 3.16's release from starcitizen
