This Week in Star Citizen 49/2024

Hello everyone, xē’suelen nyahyan

This past week has been a whirlwind of activity as the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2954 rolled on with exciting new ship reveals, the final pre-Pyro phase of Save Stanton, and incredible community-driven content lighting up social media and the Community Hub. But it’s not over yet – Star Citizen remains free to play, and all ships from the expo are flyable until December 5!

The long-awaited Polaris stole the spotlight during the big show, as RSI unveiled its latest corvette to the galactic community. To accompany the release, we provided a detailed Q&A to share insights and additional details about this iconic ship’s new release.

Meanwhile, Save Stanton entered Phase 4, challenging players with pivotal decisions that will shape the future of both the Stanton and Pyro systems. Whether you’re supporting Citizens for Prosperity or standing with the Frontier Fighters, your actions now will help forge the path for an evolving story in Pyro. You can join the discussion on Spectrum!

We also released a Roadmap Update, showcasing the progress on exciting features and technology like Server Meshing, Jump Points, Pyro’s celestial bodies, and its vibrant ecosystem – including the new ‘quazi grazer.’ The team is fully locked in and working on the last bits and refinement ahead of its imminent release to everyone!

In the IAE showrooms, Anvil Aerospace made waves with the unveiling of the Paladin, a concept ship that embodies raw power and versatility. Don’t miss the opportunity to ask our developers about the ship on Spectrum. Joining the lineup were both Hornet Mk II variants, the F7C-S and F7C-R, and the versatile Terrapin Medic, each designed to meet specialist needs. We’ve also published a Q&A to provide insights into the new Terrapin, covering key topics and details.

As a special Black Friday surprise, Crusader revealed the Intrepid’s Nocturne livery, free for all existing Intrepid owners. And let’s not forget the community spirit showcased in the Best In Show celebration, where your creativity and passion crowned this year’s fan-favorite ships during the last Ship Showdown.

Now let’s explore everything happening in the ‘verse this week!
