This Week in Star Citizen 28/2024

Happy Monday, everyone!

Alpha 3.24 Evocati testing is underway, and we’re making significant strides toward the highly-anticipated Cargo-themed patch. The team is working tirelessly and iterating on early feedback to ensure that the upcoming update is as robust as possible and we hope to open up to more waves soon.

Last week, Inside Star Citizen broke down our recent Server Meshing tests, covering the recent milestones in development. We also saw the return of the Jumptown Global Event; you have until Wednesday to test the waters and answer the age-old question, “Jumptown safe?” And, in case you missed it, we unveiled our collaboration with MTSIM on a special Star Citizen-branded flight chair series. Themed after RSI, Anvil, and Mirai, these chairs are available now.

July is shaping up to be another happening month as we gear up for Foundation Festival 2954, which commences this Friday. This event is a celebration of the truly welcoming and inclusive nature of our community, where experienced players enriched with knowledge and insights from their past adventures are always ready to share their wisdom with newcomers. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out in the ’verse, Foundation Festival offers something for everyone, so get ready for the upcoming festivities!

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

This Tuesday, the Narrative team brings us a new lore offering with Whitley’s Guide – Aegis Vulcan. Discover how the Vulcan evolved from an unarmed and lightly armored Navy support craft into the ship it is today.

Wednesday, we will see the latest Roadmap Update accompanied by its complementary Roadmap Roundup, so be sure to check that out for a glimpse of what’s coming down the road. We’ll also be reposting last week’s Squadron 42 Monthly Report newsletter as a comm-link.

Thursday’s Inside Star Citizen will have devs from the Mission Design team discussing the new Cargo-specific missions and Blockade Runner Global Event coming in Alpha 3.24.

On Friday, Star Citizen Live is a Q&A episode with the Mission Design team following up on the Star Citizen: Making Missions II episode and this week’s Inside Star Citizen. Due to scheduling this week, the episode will be recorded earlier but will air on Twitch at its usual time at 15:00 UTC / 8 am Pacific. You’ll also find our weekly RSI Newsletter in your inbox.

Fly low, and fly fast!
