Hello everyone,

Last week the team published the Monthly Studio Report for May, bringing you insight into what all of our studios have been working on. Check it out if you haven’t yet to get yourself up to speed on new systems, ships and features for 3.2 and beyond.

Friday saw the Roadmap updated, where Network Bind Culling and FPS Combat AI moved from the 3.2 column to 3.3, meaning they’ll be added to the game with our Q3 Update. Check our latest Reverse the Verse show, available on YouTube, where Jared and Tyler explain why the decision was made to defer those aspects of 3.2 to 3.3.

This week marks the end of the Hercules promotion. There’s almost nothing this family of ships hasn’t faced, and no situation they can’t handle. The Crusader Industries Hercules Starlifter will be available in the pledge store until Wednesday, June 13 at 11:59pm PDT.

Also, if you’ve got 3 minutes spare, make sure to head over to Spectrum and fill out the Pledge Store Interest Survey, hosted by Turbulent. It only takes 180 seconds and is your chance to have your voice heard, and help make the store a better, and more comprehensive experience. Thank you in advance!

With that, let’s see what’s going on this week:

Every week, designers, engineers and other developers from our five offices around the world answer backer questions submitted on Spectrum and voted on by YOU. Don’t forget you can submit your questions for consideration each and every week here.

On Tuesday, the Lore Team will publish their weekly blog post. If you missed a post in the past, you can read up on all previously released lore posts here.

Thursday will see an all-new episode of Around the Verse, with a PU update and the Weapons Special Pt. II – double the fun with a double barrel sniper! Also: Citizens have reported transmission interruptions from Drake Interplanetary with the date 2018.06.14 on them. Perhaps they have something new to share on this week’s installment of Ship Shape?!

On Friday, Jared sits down with members of Drake’s design team to discuss the previous day’s reveal. We know how citizens can devour every… scrap… of information when it comes to these new additions to Star Citizen. Keep an eye out in the General section of Spectrum for the question gathering post and then tune in on Twitch.tv/StarCitizen at 9am PDT/4pm UTC for a special Reverse the Verse LIVE.

And with that, we’ll see you in the ‘Verse.
