The '''HoverQuad''' is a hoverbike developed by [[StarCitizen:Consolidated Outland]]. It is engineered to function as a companion ground vehicle for versatile ships like the [[StarCitizen:Nomad]]. It boasts a cutting-edge design characterized by its streamlined angular structure. This innovative configuration not only contributes to its aesthetic appeal but also plays a crucial role in optimizing its performance. At the heart of the HoverQuad's functionality are its four advanced gravlev pads, which are strategically positioned to enhance the vehicle's maneuverability, allowing it to navigate effortlessly through a variety of terrains, from rugged landscapes to urban environments.<ref name="HQLaunch">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18526-HoverQuad-All-Out-Adventure|text=HoverQuad-All-Out-Adventure|accessdate=2025-03-25}}</ref><br />

|The idea for this hover vehicle was first shown during [[StarCitizen:CitizenCon 2021]] in the '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC7onjXyex0 Ship Talk]''' panel, where they showed possible concept shapes for different vehicles, including a hover vehicle.<ref>[https://youtu.be/gC7onjXyex0 CitizenCon2951: Ship Talk] on YouTube</ref> Sometime later, it was featured in a sneak peek during [[StarCitizen:Luminalia]] 2951. It appeared on day 6 in a close-up image of a grip handle without any context. It then reappeared on day 12 as a full-size image, revealing the entire vehicle, but still without any context or name.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18448-Celebrate-Luminalia-2951|text=Celebrate Luminalia 2951|accessdate=2021-12-22}}</ref><br />

|The vehicle then suddenly appeared in the public [[StarCitizen:PTU]] branch of [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.16.1|Alpha 3.16.1]] on January 21, 2022. It was then only available to [[StarCitizen:ETF]] players to spawn. Other players could not spawn it.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/s9l8lb/the_new_hover_bike_is_available_in_the_ptu_for/ Reddit: The new hover bike is available in the ptu for evocatis]</ref> The community expected the vehicle to be implemented when 3.16.1 was published to the LIVE branch later that month, but this was not the case. In an official comm-link "This month in Star Citizen" released sometime later, the vehicle was mentioned to be brought online later in February.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18504-This-Month-In-Star-Citizen|text=This month in Star Citizen|accessdate=2022-02-02}}</ref> The vehicle was officially launched and put on sale on February 10, along with the [[StarCitizen:Coramor]] event and a set of paints for the Hoverquad.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18527-Valentines-Day-2022|text=Valentines Day 2022|accessdate=2022-02-12}}</ref><br />
