This Week in Star Citizen 45/2023

Happy Monday, everyone!

Last Friday we wrapped up Pyro on the Preview Channel (for now), and we want to thank everyone who was able to take their first steps in the next chapter of Star Citizen. It was awesome to get to explore our second solar system alongside you, and the playtest gave us an immense amount of data, bug reports, and feedback from all of you to make Pyro even better. Now, we look ahead to upcoming patches, IAE, and of course, introducing some of our major technical pillars to the Preview Channel for testing very soon.

Speaking of IAE, the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo is upon us! The annual ship and vehicle showcase returns to New Babbage on microTech for 2953 to celebrate all things pilotable. Plus, you’ll have an opportunity to take the full lineups of each vehicle manufacturer out for a spin each day of the show. Coverage of the show begins today with the event’s Free Fly schedule. Head to the show floor at the Tobin Convention Center every day for a new selection to choose from!

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

Monday, we’ll publish the Free Fly Schedule for IAE so you can start planning what ships to rent during the event.

This Tuesday, the Narrative Team has a new lore post titled Jerry: A History Half-Remembered. The Banu’s lack of recorded history means Jerry, the Banu who first encountered Humanity, is now forget by their species. That leaves honoring their achievement squarely on the shoulders of Humanity.

Also on Tuesday, keep an eye out for our annual Intergalactic Aerospace Expo FAQ to help you make the most of the upcoming ship show.

This Wednesday, we’ll have a Roadmap Update alongside a Roadmap Roundup.

Thursday, Inside Star Citizen is Part I of our traditional two weeks of IAE coverage, exploring the ships you expect and the ships you’re sure to dissect.

Friday, Star Citizen Live continues our CitizenCon Q&A followups with the FPS and Flight teams, going live at 8 AM PST / 4 PM UTC. Keep an eye out for the Q&A threads on Spectrum and get your questions in before the broadcast! You will also receive our weekly Friday Newsletter in your inboxes.

May your heart be your guiding key,
