Happy New Year!

Looking back on everything we achieved together in 2019, it was quite an eventful year. We brought you patches that introduced new locations like ArcCorp, caves, and microTech, and we welcomed additions such as a personal commodity inventory, FPS mining and a new flight model. Tech-wise, we made leaps forward with the new Projectile Manager, Planet Tech V4, and of course the first iteration of Server-side Object Container Streaming. We’ve implemented a new launcher, introduced an in-game/on-Spectrum Guide System, brought you the Galactapedia, established ship customization with the Origin 300 series, and so much more.

We’ve also seen incredible content from our community on the hub, Twitch, YouTube and of course on stage during the first annual CitizenCon Cosplay Contest. It was wonderful meeting so many of you in person, during GamesCom, CitizenCon, and the BarCitizen meet-ups all around the world.

For 2020, I hope that we all remember how it feels to be a new player, a rookie, and that we keep this in mind as we move into the new year together.

Let’s help each other, have fun exploring the ‘verse together, and solidify our community as the best and most welcoming of all time.

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

On Tuesday, the Lore Team will look at the history behind Chemline Solutions, a major provider of industrial chemicals.

On Wednesday, we’ll announce the winners of both Holiday Contests.

No Inside Star Citizen this Thursday, as the show takes a short break after the release of Alpha 3.8. If you’re craving an update on the development process look no further than:



Friday – You will not only see updates to the Roadmaps, the Subscriber Vault, and have our weekly newsletter in your inbox, but you can also look forward to a new episode of Star Citizen Live. The show will broadcast on our Star Citizen Channel at 11am Pacific/7pm UTC and this week, we’ll sit down with Star Citizen Live Director Todd Papy, talking about the release of our latest patch. Submit your questions for Todd before the show over on Spectrum.

Until next time, we’ll see you in the ‘verse!
