Hello everyone, xē’suelen
Last week, we opened access to CitizenCon 2954‘s tickets! The response has been extraordinary, with 2023 attendance numbers already surpassed in only the first week of ticket availability. Set to ignite Manchester Central on October 19 and 20, we’re aiming for a stellar celebration like no other, and things are already shaping up to make this our biggest event yet. Make sure to check out all the details on volunteering opportunities, community booths, the cosplay contest, and the exclusive CitizenCon Gala happening on Friday, October 18! If you have any questions, we have published a detailed FAQ, and if you don’t know Manchester, we have also included an extensive Guide to Manchester to help you plan your trip.
The Overdrive Initiative has now officially entered Phase Five! XenoThreat has gone silent in Stanton, stopping all operations in the system as if we successfully repelled them… The CDF wants you to help call their bluff. Resupply the jump point station and stay prepared for an imminent attack! Also, have a look at Inside Star Citizen: Initiative Indicative, for an in-depth look at how we developed the missions for this Global Event.
Mission Five is the last phase before the final XenoThreat assault, which is scheduled to begin post-Star Citizen Alpha 3.23 going live. It’s important to note that we have observed issues with Phase Five of the Initiative. We are monitoring your experiences with this phase very closely and have put together a strike team to resolve any issues for the upcoming Alpha 3.23 update. To ensure there’s ample time to complete Phase Five with the fixes, we will be extending this phase’s completion date. We’ll share more information as we have it, and as always, we appreciate your patience!
In case you missed it, we also recently rolled out the RSI 2.0 Launcher! The new launcher features a brand-new look and multiple new features inspired by your feedback! Let us know what you think!
We have also recently published the Star Citizen Monthly Report for March 2024 if you want to read the latest details on what we have been working on.
In other news, have a look at the latest episode of Inside Star Citizen, where we explore Overdrive Initiative, the latest set of missions added to the Persistent Universe.

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:
This Tuesday, enjoy a new Galactapedia Update from the Narrative team!
On Wednesday, we will deliver a new Roadmap Roundup and give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes coming to Star Citizen. If you missed the Squadron 42 Monthly Report by email last week, we will publish the details in a comm-link too.
This Thursday, Inside Star Citizen explores the advancements in the water simulation and rendering arriving in Alpha 3.23. Also, Jared says we’re supposed to refer to Will Hain as the “Hydro Homie” and definitely not “Moist Master” from now on.
And, on Friday, Star Citizen Live returns with the rescheduled Most Things Cargo with special guest Chad McKinney. We’ve saved your questions from two weeks ago and will share them with our devs live, 8am PDT / 3pm UTC on twitch.tv/starcitizen. Jared also says we should refer to him as “Cargo Chad” for the duration of this week. The weekly RSI Newsletter will also be delivered right to your inboxes.
