Hello everyone, xē’suelen nyahyan
The Red Festival is still in full swing, bringing plenty of activities and rewards to enjoy! As you explore Stanton, keep an eye out for Red Envelopes, which can be turned in at your nearest Admin Office for aUEC. To get into the festival spirit, we’re hosting a screenshot contest, so be sure to capture your best moments showing kindness in the ‘verse! If PvP is more your style, test your skills in the Kill Collector mode in Arena Commander, where you can earn a special Spectrum Badge. And don’t forget to grab your free envelope display to showcase your winnings!
Speaking of the Red Festival, if you missed our update last Friday, we’ve decided to forgo the previously announced Free Fly. The team is fully focused on rolling out Alpha 4.0.2 as soon as possible, with additional hotfixes and patches to follow. Stay tuned!
Beyond Stanton, tensions are escalating in Pyro. The Frontier Fighters are making a bold move to bring order to the lawless system, but rival factions like Citizens for Prosperity and the Headhunters are determined to resist them on their own terms. Who will you side with? Join the discussion on Spectrum, where we break down the event details – including how you can earn rewards like the new Ripper SMG and faction-exclusive paints. The Fight for Pyro is on!
Meanwhile, on the Squadron 42 front, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates. You won’t want to miss the orchestral showcase, downloadable wallpapers, ringtones, and more. Plus, if you haven’t entered yet, there’s still time to join the Squadron 42 Newsletter Contest before it closes on February 4. The grand prize? A true piece of Squadron 42 history – a signed music sheet from our recent soundtrack recording sessions at Abbey Road.
Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:
Phase 2 of Fight For Pyro starts on Tuesday: Rally behind your chosen faction – Citizens for Prosperity, the Headhunters, or the Frontier Fighters – as they push toward their next objectives. The battle for control is heating up, so choose your side wisely!
This Wednesday, look forward to the January Monthly Report for Star Citizen!
On Thursday, join Jared Huckaby and CTO Benoit Beauséjour for a special two-hour episode of Star Citizen Live. We’ll take a deep dive into the hot issues in Alpha 4.0, what’s causing them, and how our feature and stability plans for 2025 will progress throughout the year. Tune in at 9 AM Pacific / 5 PM UTC. Inside Star Citizen and Behind the Ships will return next week.
Friday, keep an eye on your inbox for the latest RSI Newsletter, bringing you all the key updates from the ‘verse.
