This Week in Star Citizen 39/2024

Hello everyone, xē’suelen nyahyan

Last week, we kicked off Pirate Week with a treasure trove of exciting activities! Dive into deciphering a treasure map to claim a shiny challenge doubloon, enter our new community contest, “Show Us Your Plunder”, and check out the latest skull-clad paints!

Dive into our newest global event: Blockade Runner, running from September 17 to September 30. Join the CDF in breaking outlaw blockades and liberating low-orbit stations, or take a walk on the dark side to pocket some credits through less-than-lawful means. We’re aware of occasional cargo spawning issues and are actively working on a fix. We appreciate your feedback and Issue Council reports, and we’ll keep you updated!

We hope you enjoyed the latest episode of Inside Star Citizen, which highlighted engineering gameplay on the horizon and the next big leap in multi-crew gameplay. As our teams gear up for CitizenCon, Inside Star Citizen and Star Citizen Live will take a brief hiatus. But don’t worry—we’ll be back with fresh content after the event, now just 26 days away! We look forward to seeing you in Manchester and/or on Twitch!

In the meantime, our Chief Technology Officer, Benoit Beausejour, shared a Spectrum thread recapping our recent Server Meshing playtests and what’s coming next. A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the testing!

We also had a fantastic time at TwitchCon US. Thank you all for making the Bar Citizen in San Diego so memorable—it was wonderful to meet so many of you!

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

Tuesday, the Narrative team is releasing a new Galactapedia update.

This Friday, keep an eye on your inbox! We’ll be sending out the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter, packed with a recap of this week in Star Citizen, exciting activities, and a sneak peek just for you!

On Saturday, Anzia Racing is back with the final Duo & Turret Class Sequence, the grand finale of Scarlet Apex 2954! You can sign up and participate or catch the event Live on Twitch from 4pm UTC.
