StarCitizen:Instancing

Instancing is a means to create an environment where designers can create tailored content that's tuned to specific group sizes but is also protected from outside player interference. This allows to control the balance within the instance itself, even if getting to the instance and exiting it remains dangerous in regards to PvP.<ref name=":0">Star Citizen | CitizenCon Direct: October 11, 2025</ref>
