Perfect timing for this question.

Star Citizen has been developed all along with Oculus Rift in mind.

In fact, the next hangar patch will add Oculus Rift support to the game!

Other news:

The next hangar patch will also include removing Christmas decorations, updating the firing range, adding some more animations to the Cutlass, and some general maintenance/updates.

CIG will be hiring a full time economist to help them work on the in-game economy.

They are working hard on the Idris right now and also integrating some changes based on community feedback.

CIG is launching the cloud server today for internal dogfighting and they will begin testing dogfighting matches between offices.

CIG asked Crytek to modify Cryengine to better support PBR (physically-based rendering). Crytek delivered those modifications last week. Thus begins a period of CIG reworking all textures in the game utilizing PBR.

Because of the transition to PBR, all of the ships need to undergo another pass. This will take some time and therefore after the next hangar patch, it might be awhile until we see another one.
