Hello everyone,

Last week saw the premiere of our latest series, Pillar Talk. Each quarter, we’ll sit down with the key devs from our global studios to discuss the features hitting the upcoming patch. In the first episode, Chris Roberts is joined by Tony Zurovec, John Crewe, and Eric Kieron Davis for an in-depth discussion on the features coming in Alpha 3.6.

The Origin Screenshot Contest ended last Thursday, and due to receiving thousands of great submissions, it took us a while to sort through all of them and cast our votes. We want to thank everyone who participated and encourage you to head over to Spectrum to check out the winners. As a reminder, while the contest and the Free-Fly have ended, the limited-edition commemorative hull colors remain available until June 20th, so load up the customizer now if you want to stand out from the Origin crowd.

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

Tuesday, the Lore Team will publish a Portfolio piece about Basilisk, an armor manufacturer that revolutionized hull plating and had deep, complicated connections to the Messer regime.

Thursday welcomes a new episode of Inside Star Citizen, our weekly look behind the scenes of Star Citizen development.

Friday will see a Roadmap update and the RSI Newsletter delivered right to your inbox. We also welcome a new episode of Star Citizen Live, which broadcasts on our Star Citizen Channel at 8am Pacific. This time, members of our Environment Art and Props teams will “dress the scene” as we showcase the work that goes into building new areas of the Persistent Universe.

See you in the ‘verse!
