This Week in Star Citizen
08/25/2025 - 10:00 PM

Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan
Last week was packed with exciting news and community highlights, from Bar Citizens to the kickoff of Ship Showdown Phase 2. As a reminder, every vote between now and September 2 matters, so don’t miss your chance to help decide the community’s favorite ship of 2025. If you’re looking to try them out for yourself, our annual Ship Showdown Free Fly event starts tomorrow, letting you hop into the Elite Eight ships and experience them firsthand.

We also aired a special episode of Star Citizen Live, where Vehicle Director John Crewe and Vehicle Art Director Ben Curtis hosted an extended Ship Showdown Q&A. They tackled community questions about the newly released Kruger L-21 Wolf, the competition itself, and a wide range of ship-related topics. If you missed it live, it’s definitely worth a watch.

The weekend was also filled with community events, once again showing just how much energy and creativity all of you bring to Star Citizen.

ATMO Esports wrapped up their Gravity Rush Finals with pilots tearing across the terrain in an adrenaline-fueled showcase of skill and speed, streamed live for everyone to enjoy.

Operation: ASD Defection was another standout, organized by Galidrum, and brought together more than 230 players across 14 organizations for a massive coordinated event. With two successful missions, three simultaneous large-scale space battles involving 150+ pilots, and an epic final showdown, it was an unforgettable, community-driven experience. Huge shoutout to everyone who took part!

Rounding things out, the Industry and Trade Expo 2955 welcomed over 600 attendees to a massive in-game exhibition. With three expo halls, more than 50 ships on display, guided tours and activities, it truly felt like a living convention. Hats off to Knebel and the Starhead Federation for pulling off such an ambitious and immersive event.

Finally, members of our team made it out to Cologne, Germany for Gamescom, where we had the pleasure of meeting many of you both on the show floor and at two Bar Citizen gatherings. It was the perfect way to cap off a week that highlighted, once again, the incredible passion of this community.

Now, let's see what's going on this week:
This Tuesday, Ship Showdown reaches the Elite Eight, where the competition heats up and every vote brings us closer to crowning the ultimate champion. Voting is still open, so rally behind your favorites and help decide which ships advance to the Final Four and beyond.

At the same time, the annual Ship Showdown Free Fly kicks off, opening Star Citizen to everyone and giving pilots the chance to fly the community’s top eight ships for free. It’s a great opportunity to take each contender for a spin, weigh their strengths, and let your experience guide your vote in the final battles ahead.

On Wednesday, the latest Roadmap Update lands, offering a detailed look at the newest additions coming with Alpha 4.3.1.

This Friday, be sure to check your inbox for the RSI Weekly Newsletter. We will recap the week's highlights, showcase standout community content, and provide a sneak peek at what's coming next. If you're attending PAX West in Seattle, be sure to join us at Stoup Brewing - Capitol Hill at 8 PM for our next Bar Citizen stop!

And finally, exciting news for racers: XGR Divisions is back! This Sunday, competitors will be taking the Mirai Razor to the infamous Snake Pit. It’s one of the most demanding tracks out there, so now is the perfect time to get your practice runs in. Sign-ups are open, and remember to submit your SCR Time Trial within 24 hours of the race to lock in your place on the grid.

Hallo zusammen, xē'suelen nyahyan
Die letzte Woche war vollgepackt mit aufregenden Neuigkeiten und Community-Highlights, von Bar Citizens bis zum Start von Ship Showdown Phase 2. Zur Erinnerung: Bis zum 2. September zählt jede Stimme, also verpasse nicht die Chance, das Lieblingsschiff der Community für 2025 zu wählen. Wenn du die Schiffe selbst ausprobieren möchtest, beginnt morgen unser jährliches Ship Showdown Free Fly Event, bei dem du in die Elite der acht Schiffe einsteigen und sie aus erster Hand erleben kannst.

Außerdem haben wir eine besondere Folge von Star Citizen Live ausgestrahlt, in der Vehicle Director John Crewe und Vehicle Art Director Ben Curtis eine ausführliche Schiffs-Showdown-Frage gestellt haben. Sie beantworteten Fragen aus der Community zum neu veröffentlichten Krüger L-21 Wolf, zum Wettbewerb selbst und zu einer Vielzahl von schiffsbezogenen Themen. Wenn du die Live-Übertragung verpasst hast, kannst du sie dir auf jeden Fall ansehen.

Das Wochenende war auch voll von Community-Events, die wieder einmal gezeigt haben, wie viel Energie und Kreativität ihr alle in Star Citizen einbringt.

ATMO Esports beendete das Gravity Rush-Finale, bei dem die Piloten in einem adrenalingeladenen Spektakel aus Geschicklichkeit und Geschwindigkeit über das Gelände rasten, das live für alle übertragen wurde.

Operation: ASD Defection war ein weiteres herausragendes Ereignis, das von Galidrum organisiert wurde und mehr als 230 Spieler/innen aus 14 Organisationen zu einem großen, koordinierten Event zusammenbrachte. Mit zwei erfolgreichen Missionen, drei gleichzeitig stattfindenden großen Weltraumschlachten, an denen über 150 Piloten beteiligt waren, und einem epischen Showdown zum Schluss war es ein unvergessliches, von der Gemeinschaft getragenes Erlebnis. Ein großes Lob an alle, die mitgemacht haben!

Den Abschluss bildete die Industrie- und Handelsausstellung 2955, die über 600 Besucher/innen zu einer riesigen Ausstellung im Spiel einlud. Mit drei Messehallen, mehr als 50 ausgestellten Schiffen, Führungen und Aktivitäten fühlte es sich wirklich wie eine lebendige Convention an. Hut ab vor Knebel und der Starhead Federation, die eine so ehrgeizige und beeindruckende Veranstaltung auf die Beine gestellt haben.

Schließlich sind Mitglieder unseres Teams zur Gamescom nach Köln gereist, wo wir das Vergnügen hatten, viele von euch sowohl auf der Messe als auch bei zwei Bar Citizen-Treffen zu treffen. Es war der perfekte Abschluss einer Woche, die einmal mehr die unglaubliche Leidenschaft dieser Community gezeigt hat.

Schauen wir mal, was diese Woche so los ist:
Diesen Dienstag erreicht Ship Showdown die Elite Acht, wo der Wettbewerb immer härter wird und jede Stimme uns der Krönung des ultimativen Champions näher bringt. Die Abstimmung ist noch offen, also unterstützt eure Favoriten und helft mit, zu entscheiden, welche Schiffe ins Final Four und darüber hinaus kommen.

Gleichzeitig startet der jährliche Ship Showdown Free Fly, der Star Citizen für alle öffnet und Piloten die Chance gibt, die acht besten Schiffe der Community kostenlos zu fliegen. Das ist eine großartige Gelegenheit, die einzelnen Kandidaten zu testen, ihre Stärken abzuwägen und deine Erfahrungen in die endgültigen Schlachten einfließen zu lassen.

Am Mittwoch wird das neueste Roadmap-Update veröffentlicht, das einen detaillierten Blick auf die neuesten Erweiterungen der Alpha 4.3.1 bietet.

Am Freitag findest du in deinem Posteingang den wöchentlichen RSI-Newsletter. Darin fassen wir die Highlights der Woche zusammen, stellen herausragende Community-Inhalte vor und geben einen kleinen Ausblick auf die nächsten Entwicklungen. Wenn du an der PAX West in Seattle teilnimmst, komm um 20 Uhr zu unserem nächsten Bar Citizen-Stopp im Stoup Brewing - Capitol Hill!

Und zum Schluss noch eine aufregende Nachricht für Rennfahrer: Die XGR Divisionen sind zurück! Diesen Sonntag geht es mit dem Mirai Razor in die berüchtigte Schlangengrube. Es ist eine der anspruchsvollsten Strecken da draußen, also ist jetzt die perfekte Zeit, um zu üben. Anmeldungen sind möglich. Vergiss nicht, dein SCR Time Trial innerhalb von 24 Stunden vor dem Rennen einzureichen, um deinen Platz in der Startaufstellung zu sichern.

a.thl'ē'kol, wir sehen uns bald,
