Hello everyone,

Last week we celebrated Australia Day with a screenshot contest that had everyone showing off their best flight formations using the Gladius Valiants we made available over the weekend. Now that the contest has come to a close, we want to thank everyone for submitting their screenshots and celebrating the land down under. We’re currently in the process of selecting the victors and will announce them soon.

On Friday, we also kicked off another contest, highlighting Tumbril’s rough and rugged Cyclone series. We want you to take your filmmaking skills off-road and make a commercial for these tenacious beasts. Check out the Spectrum announcement for all the juicy details.

Challenge coin accepted! The One Empire Anniversary Coin was distributed to all backers who pledged prior to the $200 million milestone. It can now be found in your hangar. As always, thank you for your support!

Lastly, the Daymar Rally took place yesterday with 3 different divisions (Rover, Buggy, and Bike) battling it out for glory and rewards. We were blown away by the amazing experience and want to say ‘well done’ to everyone involved. Streamers, Racers, Support, Security, and more: it was great seeing all parties come together to create the filthiest race in the ‘verse .

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

Tuesday is lore day and welcomes a Advocacy Archive post about a young agent’s growing obsession into investigating a shady scrapyard.

Thursday will bring another episode of Around the Verse where we’ll take a look at the latest Star Citizen news.

Friday will see a Roadmap update and the RSI Newsletter delivered right to your inbox. At 8 am PST (4 pm UTC) we’ll also welcome back Reverse the Verse, which will be broadcasted live on our Star Citizen Channel. This week, we’ll have the game’s Live Director Todd Papy on the show to answer questions about the development of Alpha 3.5! Post your questions on Spectrum and vote on the ones you want to see addressed most.

Have a great week!
