This Week in Star Citizen 32/2023

Happy Monday, everyone!

Ship Showdown is off to an incredible start, with the Community Hub and social media flooded with amazing submissions to help elevate your favorite vehicles to the top of the list! Models, LEGO® builds, artwork, music videos, and much more have graced our feeds all week. We’ve got one more week to go in Phase 1, so if you haven’t submitted your own creations, make sure to get that in before August 21. After that, Phase 2 will kick off with our Top 16 bracket, and the voting begins!

CitizenCon is rapidly approaching, with the event in Los Angeles a little over two months away! Join us for panels from development across the company, booths promoting the orgs of the ‘verse, our first in-person LAN tournament in collaboration with ATMO esports, and much more. We’ve got more details about the event headed your way soon, and don’t forget to grab your tickets! Keep an eye on the CitizenCon hub for more info.

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

On Thursday, Inside Star Citizen catches up with the Audio team and their work on audio reverberation tech after their previous CitizenCon presentation on Claudius.

This Friday, Star Citizen Live has Elliot Maltby back on to wrap up the mission they created last week and give it a test in-game! Show begins at 8am Pacific/3pm UTC. You’ll also see the weekly RSI Newsletter delivered to your inbox.

This Saturday starting at 2pm UTC / 7am Pacific, Knebel and the StarHead Federation in our German community will exhibit all the vehicles that keep Star Citizen’s economy running – trading, mining, salvage, exploration, and more! Visit the rooftops of ArcCorp’s Area17, experience air cab service, take part in guided ship tours and interactive games to earn points, and get a chance to win a Drake Vulture with lifetime insurance. You can also watch the event live on Twitch: twitch.tv/knebeltv.

Also on Saturday, the group stages for this year’s Fight or Flight tournament begin! Check out the heated 2v2 competition live on twitch.tv/ATMOesports at 8 PM UTC and see who moves on to the next round. The top four teams at the end of the series will compete at CitizenCon this year, so the stakes are high! Don’t miss it!

May Selûne guide your path,
