PTU 4.10.3 Files: Expanded Salvage, IAE AI Guide and Luminalia 2956 (November 4, 2026)

The new PTU 4.10.3 build, published Tuesday evening, has been combed through by dataminers. According to the game files, it contains significant changes to salvage, elements linked to the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE), and all the items for Luminalia 2956. None of these elements appear in the official patch notes, although the test focus states that the IAE is being handled “on an accelerated schedule.” This is data extracted from the build, subject to change and never confirmed by CIG.

Salvage: Wider Fields and Enlarged Buffers

According to the dataminers, the fracture and disintegration fields are larger and require less precision to remain effective. The salvage buffer capacity is also increased on the five ships in this discipline. The recorded values, before and after, are:

• Reclaimer: forward field distance from 50 to 200 m, lateral distance from 40 to 90 m, buffer from 240 to 448 SCU.
• Moth: forward field from 50 to 80 m, lateral from 40 to 45 m, buffer from 64 to 240 SCU.
• Vulture: forward field from 20 to 70 m, lateral from 10 to 40 m, buffer from 13 to 16 SCU.
• Fortune: forward field from 20 to 60 m, lateral from 10 to 30 m, buffer from 13 to 14 SCU.
• Salvation: forward field from 20 to 50 m, lateral from 10 to 30 m, buffer from 6 to 8 SCU.

The buffer increase is most pronounced on the Reclaimer (from 240 to 448 SCU) and the Moth (from 64 to 240 SCU). It remains modest on the Vulture, the Fortune and the Salvation. CIG has not communicated anything about these values.

IAE: an AI “Guide” and an Updated Liberator

The files also reveal a “Guide,” an AI-based voice assistant. It would invite players attending the exhibition to choose a ship manufacturer in order to receive an oral presentation. The dataminers published an audio line sample, which would only be an older line used to illustrate the type of content that is possible.

The Anvil Liberator holomodel has also been updated. According to data relayed on Reddit (via d.w.), the ship measures 123.40 m long by 68.72 m wide, with two point defense turrets. A 3D model viewable online accompanies the leak.

Luminalia 2956: The Full Collection

The dataminers extracted all the items planned for Luminalia 2956:

• a Coda pistol and a Lumin V SMG in a “Piconalia” edition, decorated with Pico the penguin, along with a matching green Cambio SRT;
• an Emoto “Luminalia” Dashbot companion robot, with a gold finish and snowflake patterns;
• a Banu Kamba knife with a dark blade and gold inlays;
• a Pico pop-up greeting card, an animation of which has been shared;
• two seasonal liveries, IceBreak (white and blue) and Deck the Hull (green and red), for the Aurora Mk II, the Hurricane, the Banu Defender and the RAFT.

The files also mention “Best in Show 2956” rewards. A white and grey livery with gold accents is reportedly planned for the RSI Perseus, with variants for the Origin M80, the Drake Ironclad Assault and the Drake Corsair. The text associated with the Perseus refers to its “victory” in the contest. This is reward text found in the files, not a result: no official communication has yet confirmed the actual winner.

Context

This leak comes after a quiet period. Early this week, CIG stated that no new PTU build was expected on Monday and announced a busy official week, with the PU Monthly Report and the Roadmap Update/Roundup on Wednesday the 4th, followed by the weekly newsletter on Friday the 6th.

What We Still Don't Know

None of the salvage values are confirmed, and nothing indicates whether they will remain as they are until Live. The deployment date for Luminalia 2956 is not known, nor is how its items will be obtained. The actual functioning of the AI Guide, its schedule and its presence in the final version of the IAE remain to be established. The next signal to watch: the Roadmap Update/Roundup announced for Wednesday, November 4, then the upcoming PTU 4.10.3 builds, whose patch notes will show whether these changes are kept.
