Happy Monday, everyone!
Ship Showdown is well underway! The heated tournament of vehicles is now on Day 5, and we’ve already seen incredible participation from the community. The ARGO MPUV has made it to Round 2, and the Cutlass was dethroned by the 600i in the closest battle Ship Showdown has ever seen!
Want to make sure your favorite ship makes it to the top? Be sure to cast your vote on the Ship Showdown tournament page to push your choice to the next round. The battles change every day at 9am Pacific, so don’t wait to get your votes in!
We also just wrapped up the CitizenCon Community Video Contest! We’ve received a mountain of submissions and are now going through to determine which ones will broadcast live during the big show!
Speaking of CitizenCon, keep a close eye on the website as we we’ll aim to reveal more details, including a full schedule, next week!
Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:
On Tuesday, the Narrative team will release an excerpt from the book “Always Forward: A UEE Marine History”, which originally premiered in an issue of Jump Point magazine.
Thursday, we’re back with another episode of Inside Star Citizen. Continuing our look at the major features of Alpha 3.15, this episode tackles all things inventory as we take another step toward fully physicalized items and inventory management.
On Friday, you’ll see an update to the Subscriber Vault and the weekly RSI Newsletter delivered to your inbox.
Now, we did cancel Star Citizen Live last week due to CitizenCon filming going long – and trust me when I say we were bummed out about this. We committed to coming back strong this week, but now have to admit that was premature. Due to some last minute changes, the video team will be in Manchester wrapping up the final shoot for CitizenCon. This means we’re going to have to sideline Star Citizen Live one more time. We are sorry about that!
In lighter news, if we miss one more episode, Lando has agreed to wear a tropical shirt, hand picked by Zyloh for 6 months straight.
Side-note, for those that will inevitably ask what we’re filming, CitizenCon will have both live and pre-recorded elements. This year’s show is super unique for us given the pandemic, so we’ve had to get a bit creative! As mentioned above, stay tuned for the full schedule next week!
Have a great week!
