This Week in Star Citizen

This Week in Star Citizen
03/25/2024 - 5:00 PM

Happy Monday, everyone!
Over the weekend, we launched another round of Tech Preview channel playtests with our dedicated wave 2 testers. These sessions were particularly special as they tested the initial implementation of static server meshing within Stanton, enabling multiple game servers to seamlessly manage the star system simultaneously. This marked a pivotal moment for the project, with more than 700 players successfully connecting to a single instance of Stanton for the very first time!

Our engineering team worked hand in hand with the community, implementing real-time hotfixes and gathering a wealth of data to refine our systems for future tests. We're deeply grateful to all of you for jumping in and helping us push boundaries! The journey towards 4.0 and beyond is an exciting one, and we're thrilled to have you with us every step of the way.

Separately, the Overdrive Initiative has officially entered the second phase, with priority targets being issued by the Civilian Defense Force. Team up with fellow CDF contractors and keep an eye out for a Priority mission in your mobiGlas; local security needs your help to hold XenoThreat at bay!

Now, let's see what's going on this week:
On Tuesday, the Narrative team will publish our monthly update to the Galactapedia, further expanding our universe's lore.

Thursday's Inside Star Citizen brings back Team Cian for our continuing coverage of Alpha 3.23. This week we've got a user experience update covering the new Lens/Visor systems, the shopping experience, and the new loot screen.

There won't be an episode of Star Citizen Live on Friday this week due to a company holiday. We'll be back next week! You'll also find our weekly RSI Newsletter directly delivered to your inbox.

Saturday kicks off this year's System 7 with its first two races, presented by ATMO esports. Be sure to follow their channel so you don't miss all the action!

Also due to the company holiday, next week's This Week in Star Citizen will land on Tuesday.

May your heart be your guiding key,
