This Week in Star Citizen

08/11/2025 - 9:00 PM This Week in Star Citizen Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan First and foremost, the team is continuing their improvement efforts throughout the 4.3.0 PTU cycle, and greatly appreciates all of the feedback and reports you’ve been sharing. As mentioned last week, following testing, we’ve decided to extend Resource Drive into the upcoming patch. Alongside the extension, we’ve already rolled out a number of fixes, with more on the way, so keep the feedback coming! Last week, we published the Star Citizen Monthly Report, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the progress made throughout July. Subscribers also received their exclusive updates to help get in the spirit for the upcoming Alpha 4.3 patch. With CitizenCon Direct fast approaching, we revealed that members of the CIG team will be hitting the road to join Watch Parties across North America and Europe on Saturday, October 11, 2025. Check out the full schedule to see where we’ll be. We can’t wait to connect in person! Meanwhile, Ship Showdown is still going strong. You’ve got until tomorrow to rally behind your favorites and get a shot at winning an RSI Meteor in our latest contest. While you’re at it, see who’s leading the charge into Phase 2 in our latest Leaderboard Update. Now, let's see what's going on this week: On Monday, we kicked off the week with a brand-new Behind the Ships, spotlighting Kruger Intergalactic's sleek new L-21 Wolf, which you may have already seen teased on the Alpha 4.3.0 PTU loading screen, and in the recent RSI Newsletters. Tuesday is your last chance to rally behind your favorite vehicles in Ship Showdown - Phase 1! Make some noise, cast your votes, and help your top pick secure a spot in the Top 16.

Inspection Team by MrKraken I was playing PTU 4.3.0 the other night, wandering in the Onyx Facilities. With over a hundred of them, the odds of running into anyone were slim... but then, in the dark, at the end of a tunnel, I stumbled upon a quartet, an inspection team! My first thought was, "wow, these guys came fully prepared and even look like they’re posing.". Then it hit me… wait, is that MrKraken? Sure enough, it was! Great running into you four down there in the facility! Check it out on the Community Hub and on X.
