From PTU 4.3.2 10388608 Patch Notes (wave 1):

Frontier Fighters Finale is a limited time event where players complete missions for one of the two factions. The faction with the most contributed points acquired through completing missions will be declared the winner of this event.

  • Week 1: The Search Is On

Week 1 features two mission archetypes that can an be done by either faction.

Eliminate Specific + Delivery
In this mission, the player is tasked with Eliminating a high ranking member of the Frontier Fighters, collecting a datapad from the body, and then delivering the datapad to a specified location.

Missing Person + Delivery
In this mission, the player is tasked with finding a dead member of the supported faction, taking a datapad they attempted to extract, and then delivering the datapad to a specified location.

  • Week 2: Pressure

Week 2 features two mission archetypes that can be done by either faction.
Week 1 missions are still available to play once the Week 2 missions unlock.

Ship Ambush
In this mission, the player is tasked with ambushing Frontier Fighters.

Destroy Regen Locations
In this mission, the player is tasked with going to a medical location and destroying Frontier Fighters medical storage canisters.

  • Week 3: Apprehend the Suspect

Week 3 features one mission. This mission can be done by either faction.
Week 1 and 2 missions are still available to play once the Week 3 missions unlock.

Hunt the Polaris
This mission is of the existing archetype “Hunt the Polaris”. This is a multistage mission where players must work together to chase down and destroy a Frontier Fighters Polaris. This is a server-wide mission, meaning that players share the same mission instance. There are two versions of this mission, one for each faction.


Heads-up for recoil so he can start thinking about which faction he wants to back. It'll be a limited time event that takes three weeks to complete. There should be some kind of account-bound reward, so we're waiting to see it.

This must be one of the 6 event rewards, 3 for each side. I've seen a couple of the others, both outfits, and they're very cool too. CIG is constantly upping their reward game.

Mask and gloves in addition to all the rest is a lot of items for merely 1/6 rewards. They're really packing these things.

So here's all the *known* CFP rewards for the new event.

The CfP isn't holding back either, this is top tier stuff. But notice the pics are all in Stanton. I still haven't been able to ascertain exactly where the event takes place. It looks like Stanton is a certainty, and maybe also Pyro, or maybe just Stanton. So I might have to move the thread to the Stanton subforum and take over. We'll see. Launch is almost certainly tomorrow (Thursday) evening.

Alpha 4.3.2: Fractured Frontiers

No trailer this time. Many players including me were hugely disappointed because these trailers are incredible and almost TV-show-worthy. First time this has happened since we started playing three years ago. It must be the new monthly update cadence + CitCon. I am sure we'll get an awesome trailer with Nyx next month.

Trailer: N/A

So this event is weird. According to reports, you can do it in both Pyro and Stanton. Not sure if you're required to do it in both or you can choose between them. But it seems that the location doesn't matter.

Either way, this entire plotline is about Pyro, so I'll leave this event for recoil.

That said, CIG has confirmed that prior gang affiliation doesn't impact this event, and regardless of who you side with it won't impact your affiliation after the event either. So your gang rep is separate from this event. They haven't said what the winning gang gets either. They showed us OUR rewards, but not the winning GANG's, like they told us in advance for Resource Drive what the winning corp would get.

Nevertheless, we'll make it more interesting for ourselves by committing even AFTER the event to whichever gang recoil chooses to support during it. In the last Pyro event, Supply or Die, he allied us with CfP [ > ]. So he can either choose to continue with them, or switch to the Headhunters. We're awaiting your orders, SupCom.

The Stakes of Frontier Fighters Finale

Unread postby icycalm » 17 Oct 2025 20:01

This is how CIG puts the stakes of this fight: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spec ... -frontiers

Nicou-CIG @Nicou-CIG wrote:While the fight for Pyro has left its mark, the dust now settles and one question remains: who will shape Pyro's future in 2956?


I think this is the question recoil should focus on for making his choice. The rewards for both factions are great and since unlike Fight for Pyro they're allowing us to pursue both, any player can get all of them without using alts. That said, any character/clone stationed in Pyro will have to prioritize recoil's choice. But I think his choice should be made based mostly if not solely on the lore this time. That's just a suggestion though. Let us know what to do, recoil.

Allying with the Headhunters

Unread postby recoil » 17 Oct 2025 23:02

We will be allying with the Headhunters to keep Pyro lawless and chaotic. The CfP are trying to settle a dying star which is a fool's errand. Our illegal operations are far more important than prosperity. Think of the plunder, thrills and adventures we could have in a lawless Pyro. We’ve got enough commies at Nyx, let’s keep Pyro for the pirates!

Intel is currently scarce and I'm entrusting the entire Stanton side of the operation to Supreme Commander shubn. Once we receive further intel, I will evaluate it and issue further orders.

There's really nothing spoilery here as CIG has already outlined the phases. Maybe a bit more detail in the kinds of contracts offered, etc.
