This Week in Star Citizen

This Week in Star Citizen 08/28/2023 - 7:00 PM Happy Monday, everyone! Last week, some of our community and development teams attended a trio of Bar Citizen events in Cologne, Germany in tandem with Gamescom. The turn out was unbelievable, eclipsing our Gamescom events in the past. We were so happy to meet so many of you, veteran backers and fresh pilots alike. Check out the photo gallery below the content schedule, and we hope to see you all again soon! Alpha 3.20 is now in PTU Wave 2! The Hull C, mining and ship stat updates, and an absolute bevy of new Arena Commander content (including a Master Modes limited test!) are now available to put through their paces. We've already received some fantastic feedback, and we're hoping to open up to more PTU waves very soon. Ship Showdown Phase 2 kicked off last week, and we saw some pretty intense battles between some fan favorite ships, including a few upsets (although the Carrack might've had it coming). Today's bout puts two of the most common multicrew ships in the 'verse up against each other, the Cutlass Black and the Constellation Andromeda. Make sure to get your votes in as we approach the Elite 8 matchups later this week. Last but not least, we're less than 8 weeks away from CitizenCon 2953, and we could not be more excited to see you all on the big weekend! Details and tickets here! Now, let's see what's going on this week: Tuesday has the latest Galactapedia update from the Narrative Team. Inside Star Citizen returns on Thursday with Part 2 of our look at Ship Audio this quarter, with several new features currently in development that make ship sounds sound...shippier. (That's what Jared said.) Thursday also marks the next round of Ship Showdowns as we enter the Elite 8 stage, and the 8 ships that made it past Round 1 will be available to fly for free! Keep an eye out for our Free Fly Comm-Link for more details. (UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, we, unfortunately, have to cancel and reschedule today's episode of SCL. Catch Duncan and Sam from the Arena Commander Feature Team live on Twitch next Friday, September 8 at 15:00 UTC / 8 AM Pacific.) On Friday, you'll find our weekly RSI Newsletter directly delivered to your inbox. Star Citizen Live also returns on Friday with Duncan and Sam from the Arena Commander Feature Team. They'll be jumping into Arena Commander live on our Twitch channel to showcase much of what's in the upcoming Alpha 3.20. Tune in at 8 AM Pacific / 3 PM UTC. Last but most certainly not least, this Saturday the final 8 teams in this year's online 2v2 Fight or Flight tournament duke it out, not only for the top prize, but a chance to compete at the CitizenCon Fight or Flight Invitational. Tune in to twitch.tv/atmoesports to make sure you don't miss any of the action. For Light and Life!
