o7 in Star Citizen

In Star Citizen, o7 is more than a text emoticon — it is the standard greeting of the player community. Understanding it is your first step into one of the most active gaming communities online.

What It Means in This Game

Star Citizen is a space game set in a far-future universe where players take on roles as pilots, soldiers, traders, and explorers. The game’s fiction draws on military and naval traditions, so a salute fits naturally into the culture.

When a player types o7 in game chat or on the official Roberts Space Industries (RSI) forums, they are greeting another player as a fellow citizen of the in-game universe. It signals: “I respect you, fly safe, and good luck out there.”
