This Week in Star Citizen 38/2024

Happy Monday, everyone!

Last week, we launched Alpha 3.24.1 on the Live servers! This update introduces the all-new Argo ATLS and gears us up for the next global event: Blockade Runner. The Nine Tails gang has grown bold in the Stanton system, and the CDF is counting on you to push them back. Unless, of course, you’re more of a “sailing open skies and take what you can carry” type, you might just find yourself on the other side. Blockade Runner kicks off with Pirate Week this Tuesday, September 17.

This week marks one month until CitizenCon 2954 in Manchester! We can’t wait to see everyone there, and we’ll have a hefty info drop coming very soon, including a map of the venue, the show schedule, and more. We’ll also be distributing tickets straight to your inbox soon, and if you don’t have a ticket, remember you can still celebrate from home with this year’s Digital Goodies Pack.

It’s also last call for our annual cosplay competition, so if you plan to come to CitizenCon in costume and haven’t submitted your application, you have until September 27 to do so!

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

Pirate Week sets sail this Tuesday with chances to score some legendary loot and, for the first time ever, take on the brand-new global event, Blockade Runner! Jump in-game and keep an eye out for those Priority contracts—you won’t want to miss the action. Plus, don’t forget to check out the latest Loremakers post, where our Narrative team dives into the community’s most burning lore questions.

This Wednesday has the latest Roadmap update alongside a Roadmap Roundup.

Thursday, Inside Star Citizen (youtube.com/RobertsSpaceInd) welcomes an update from the team working on Engineering gameplay.

Friday has the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter sent to your inboxes. Star Citizen Live is on hiatus this week, so we won’t have our usual broadcast on Twitch.
