This Week in Star Citizen 25/2023

Happy Monday, everyone!

Last Sunday marked the end of the submission period for the Alien Week First Encounter screenshot contest, and if you haven’t yet, you can view the extraterrestrial extravaganza on the Community Hub. June has been a fun-tastic and vibrant month, and we’d like to thank everyone for making the ‘verse such a welcoming place for all! Also, we’re putting out the final call for you to help us wrap up June in the most colorful way with a last-minute entry to our Show Us Your Colors Celebration 2023. You have until Monday, 26 June, 11:59 pm Pacific, so there’s no time to waste!

July promises to be an equally exciting month as we continue to celebrate our incredibly welcoming Star Citizen community all month long during Foundation Festival, with contests and activities galore! We’ve had a cheeky start to the festivities and kicked off the Foundation Festival 2023 Tutorial Contest, so be sure to check that out for your chance to snag a cool prize while helping out your fellow citizens. As they say, “Sharing (knowledge) is caring!” Don’t forget that you can also promote your organization for a chance to be spotlighted and perhaps even gain an edge in recruiting new talent to join your ranks.

As we draw closer to our first-ever two-day CitizenCon this October, we’d like to remind you that tickets for this epic event will become available later this week. Check out the wave schedule to ensure you’re ready when they drop to secure yours, as tickets are limited! And if you’d like to help out as a volunteer during this year’s CitizenCon, we have a wide variety of roles open for enthusiastic and skilled citizens. Head over to Spectrum now to apply!

Lastly, the team attended two incredible Bar Citizen events over the weekend as part of the Bar Citizen World Tour. Bar Citizen Hong Kong delivered an immersive experience with a soundtrack and decor that transported attendees to Orison, Crusader. In Shanghai, the event had a record-setting 1,700+ attendees, making it THE largest community-hosted Star Citizen event to date! The next stop from the Asian portion of our Bar Citizen World Tour will be in Icheon, Korea, this weekend. If you’re in the area, we’d love to see you this Saturday!

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:

This Tuesday, the Narrative team brings us the latest monthly Galactapedia update.

Wednesday will see the publish of our bi-weekly Roadmap Update and the complementary Roadmap Roundup.

On Thursday, find out about the future of Port Olisar in Alpha 3.20 on this week’s Inside Star Citizen.

There will be no episode of Star Citizen Live this Friday, but you’ll find our weekly RSI Newsletter directly delivered to your inbox.

Saturday is a great day for some R&R (Race and Relax), so ride along with the participants on the yearly Greycat Social event, dubbed “the most relaxing and chill race in the ‘verse” by some. Visit the ATMO Esports website for details.

Have a fantastic week, and see you in the ‘verse!
