This Week in Star Citizen 23/2023

Happy Monday, everyone!

And Happy Pride Month! In case you missed it, our yearly Show Your Colors Celebration has returned, and your submissions have already been nothing short of incredible. Be sure to check out the Spectrum thread to see how you can join the festivities and potentially take home an Anvil C8X Pisces!

June also hosts our annual Alien Week in honor of First Contact Day, which kicks off this Thursday! Alongside a bevy of alien-themed content, we’re also hosting a series of Bar Citizen events this weekend, one near every one of our studios: Los Angeles, Austin, Montreal, Manchester, and Frankfurt. Join your fellow citizens and CIG developers for a weekend of comradery; we’ll have plenty of goodies to give away as well! For details on the event nearest you, head over to last week’s Spectrum Announcement. Hope to see you there!

Last but most certainly not least, word on the wire is that more information about this year’s CitizenCon event is coming this week. Keep your eyes on the main website for news on tickets and more in the days ahead!

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:

This Tuesday, the latest edition of Whitley’s Guide covers the Tumbril Cyclone, originally appearing in Jump Point 6.08. From being a frontier explorer to front line fighter, the Cyclone has had a long and illustrious history as one of the empire’s most popular ground vehicles.

On Wednesday, the latest Roadmap Roundup will be published alongside a Roadmap Roundup. We’ll also post last week’s Squadron 42 Monthly Report newsletter as a Comm-Link.

Thursday kick’s off this year’s Alien Week! We’ll post a Comm-Link with all the otherworldly details on contests, offerings, and more. Thursday’s episode of Inside Star Citizen will join in the festivities of Alien Week as well, along with an update on the upcoming MISC Hull C. We’ll also have our Tumbril Storm Q&A post ready, with your burning questions on Tumbril’s newest tank answered by our vehicle team.

On Friday, Alien Week continues as our Narrative Team joins us on Star Citizen Live, starting at 10 AM Pacific / 5 PM UTC on our Twitch channel. You’ll also find our weekly RSI Newsletter directly delivered to your inbox.

Finally on Saturday, we’ve got a pair of race competitions for the speed demons of the ‘verse. First at 5:45 PM UTC, the Division Pro race from XGR will go live on twitch.tv/extremegracing. Then later that evening are the System 7 finals from ATMO esports, going live at 8 PM UTC on twitch.tv/atmoesports. Good luck, racers!

For Light and Life,
