During 2018/2019 Star Citizen’s animations team worked with a deaf backer’s brother to develop a set of American Sign Language emotes for use within the game. In addition to ASL there’s also standard combat hand signals attached to quick keys on your keyboard’s numpad!
ASL isn’t included in the in-game emote wheel. Instead we need to use /slash commands in chat to be able to sign. With not many references to the emote list on the web, I figured it would be a good time to list them!
If you want a preview of all the animations listed, check out my video where I show each animation for all of the Star Citizen ASL emotes.
The full (as far as I can tell) list of ASL Emotes:
| Command | Emote |
|---|---|
| /asl_angry | I’m so angry! |
| /asl_blah1 | Blah, blah, blah |
| /asl_blah2 | |
| /asl_bored | I’m bored |
| /asl_bullshit | Bullshit! |
| /asl_canthear | I can’t hear you |
| /asl_exhausted | I’m so exhausted |
| /asl_goodbye | Goodbye! |
| /asl_hello | Hello |
| /asl_loveyou | I love you |
| /asl_meetyou | Nice to meet you |
| /asl_no1 | No (polite) |
| /asl_no2 | NO! (firm) |
| /asl_sad | I’m sad |
| /asl_sitdown1 | Have a seat (polite) |
| /asl_sitdown2 | Sit down right now! (firm) |
| /asl_thanks1 | Thank you! |
| /asl_thanks2 | Thanks (sarcastic) |
| /asl_upset | I’m so upset and lost! |
| /asl_yes1 | Yes |
| /asl_yes2 | Yes, please |
I’ll also be adding all the ASL emotes to my ever growing Giphy folders for Star Citizen emote & reaction GIFs
