Happy Monday, everyone!
Alpha 3.24 Evocati testing is underway, and we’re making significant strides toward the highly-anticipated Cargo-themed patch. The team is working tirelessly and iterating on early feedback to ensure that the upcoming update is as robust as possible and we hope to open up to more waves soon.
Last week, Inside Star Citizen broke down our recent Server Meshing tests, covering the recent milestones in development. We also saw the return of the Jumptown Global Event; you have until Wednesday to test the waters and answer the age-old question, “Jumptown safe?” And, in case you missed it, we unveiled our collaboration with MTSIM on a special Star Citizen-branded flight chair series. Themed after RSI, Anvil, and Mirai, these chairs are available now.
July is shaping up to be another happening month as we gear up for Foundation Festival 2954, which commences this Friday. This event is a celebration of the truly welcoming and inclusive nature of our community, where experienced players enriched with knowledge and insights from their past adventures are always ready to share their wisdom with newcomers. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out in the ’verse, Foundation Festival offers something for everyone, so get ready for the upcoming festivities!
Now, let's see what's going on this week
This Tuesday, the Narrative team brings us a new lore offering with Whitley’s Guide - Aegis Vulcan. Discover how the Vulture evolved from an unarmed and lightly armored Navy support craft into the ship it is today.
Wednesday, we will see the latest Roadmap Update accompanied by its complementary Roadmap Roundup, so be sure to check that out for a glimpse of what’s coming down the road. We’ll also be reposting last week’s Squadron 42 Monthly Report newsletter as a comm-link.
Thursday’s Inside Star Citizen will have devs from the Mission Design team discussing the new Cargo-specific missions and Blockade Runner Global Event coming in Alpha 3.24.
On Friday, Star Citizen Live is a Q&A episode with the Mission Design team following up on the Star Citizen: Making Missions II episode and this week’s Inside Star Citizen. Due to scheduling this week, the episode will be recorded earlier but will air on Twitch at its usual time at 15:00 UTC / 8 am Pacific. You’ll also find our weekly RSI Newsletter in your inbox.
Fly low, and fly fast!

PU Monthly Report
Welcome to June’s PU Monthly Report! Many teams progressed with their final tasks toward Alpha 3.24, while others are forging ahead with work on exciting features and content for Alpha 4.0 (and in some cases beyond). Read on for all the details, and we’ll see you again this time next month.
AI (Features)
June saw AI Features improving the behaviors of grouped NPCS for a more consistent combat experience. To do this, they added an object representing the group that shares perception information about targets at the appropriate time. This allows the designers to tailor combat experiences to the specific demands of the mission by deciding who is and isn’t drawn into combat when it starts. It also allows them to ‘cheat’ a behavior for situations where communication between group members would be expected, e.g. via radio, preventing NPCs from doing a full first reaction when they would already know about the fight.
This is the first implementation of the system and the team will be playtesting and balancing it to make sure it presents a realistic but understandable challenge. Without the behavior, perception and entering combat would be more haphazard and not work well across the wide range of level and mission scenarios.
AI (Game Intelligence Development Tools)
June saw the creation of a new team within the AI group, Game Intelligence Development Tools (GIDT).
One of the team’s objectives is to focus on evaluating and improving tools and processes. For example, they’re currently working with AI Tech to improve the Apollo Subsumption editor with improved UX. Following a successful prototype, the team are currently implementing some of the features directly in-engine. This new visual paradigm is known as Apollo StarScript.
Other improvements include a new tool that enables the devs to group or ungroup task functions automatically, allowing them to easily add comments and visualize them when collapsed or expanded.
Another upcoming objective is to implement different service solutions for long-term AI functionalities, including the Quantum simulation, the Battle System, and the Commentator model.
AI (Tech)
June saw AI Tech optimizing parts of the Vision system used by NPCs, which involved moving parts of NPC-visibility-check computation to the client. This will help when there are multiple players on the same server, giving improvements to reaction time and frame rate.
They’re also investigating better ways to synchronize AI data between servers and clients in preparation for Server Meshing, which will allow for smoother transitions by keeping the same context when NPCs move from one server to another. As a test, they serialized more data into AI components, like path and movement requests.
On the ship AI side, functionality was added to point-defense cannons that allows them to track and shoot missiles. Improvements were also made to NPCs following leaders in formation by utilizing a PID controller for matching leader speed and adjusting roll based on the leader and NPC ship orientation.
Alongside this, the AI Tools team began unifying functionality and fixed bugs in preparation for the Apollo UI redesign.
Animation
The Animation team continued to fix technical issues with the kopion, animate assets, and create new animations for numerous creatures.
Art (Characters)
In June, the Character Art team progressed with three specialist armors, finalized the update to the utility armor, and supported requests for the Character Customizer. Art debt for looting items was worked on too.
The Character Concept Art team continued exploring designs for utility armors and completed handoff sheets for specialist armors, while the Hair team kicked off new beards and hairstyles.
Art (Ships)
Last month, the Ships team progressed with the RSI Polaris, getting close to finishing the interior for the greybox review. The exterior is heading toward final content, with the parallax occlusion mapping (POM) and lighting being completed. The RSI Zeus Mk II is also approaching its final content review.
Seven unannounced vehicles were worked on too. Four are approaching the whitebox review stage, two are heading toward greybox review, and the last is nearly finished.
Community
The Community team kicked off the month with May’s PU Monthly Report, alongside the Drake Ironclad Q&A.
The team then supported Alien Week, which was followed by the return of XenoThreat. A New Player Guide was published alongside two contests, Show Us Your Colors and Supergalactic Xeno-Treat Smackdown.
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.The Community team is currently preparing for the Alpha 3.24 release as well as the upcoming Foundation Festival and Ship Showdown events.
The Bar Citizen World Tour continued, with team members visiting local events to meet with the community and share new loot, including the new Hui’a Puzzle.
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.The team also spent time with the vibrant community in Asia, where we recently had the pleasure of attending two unforgettable events. First, our team traveled to Taipei for an incredibly immersive Bar Citizen (the decor was awesome!). There, we were treated to a handful of excellent presentations, including a live demonstration and tutorial by Morphologis, a racing tournaments that had us all on the edge of our seats (and screaming at the top of our lungs), and even some lively singalongs of pirate shanties courtesy of Drake Interplanetary.
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Then, last Saturday, we had the privilege of connecting with our community in Shenzhen, China, at their largest gathering yet (over 2,000 attendees!). We participated in a lively Q&A session, enjoyed a variety of tournaments, giveaways, cosplay, and much more. Events like these, especially on the opposite side of the globe, serve as a powerful reminder of the diversity and global reach of our community. What's most inspiring is that our shared passion for the universe we are building transcends all language and cultural barriers – whether you're in Shenzhen, France, Antarctica (you never know) or anywhere else on the planet, a Bar Citizen event always feels like home among like-minded pilots.
“We kicked off another year of Bar Citizen events around the globe. As always, you all showed up in spades! It was wonderful meeting each and every one of you, hosting trivia challenges, enjoying good drinks, and great company. We can't wait to see you all again at upcoming events during PAX, TwitchCon, Gamescom, and more! So, if you're nearby, come on down and get your hands on an exclusive Hui'a! We would also like to say thank you to everyone supporting the development of Star Citizen and our recent updates, Tech Preview, and other PTU tests. We are committed to delivering a world-class game, for a world-class community, and your feedback is instrumentally important to us!” - Community Team
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.The Community team continued detailing the weekly publishes with This Week in Star Citizen, and updated the Arena Commander Schedule.
With CitizenCon 2954 less than four months away, the team is working hard to deliver the most packed and exciting event to date. The CitizenCon Cosplay Contest is also back, with the team planning to share more details closer to the event.
Core Gameplay
For Maelstrom, the development stream was recently published to the main internal branch. This provides a fresh set of features, such as a new unified-mesh-format grid with OC support per Maelstrom node for large vehicle destruction. It also provides tools to link gameplay events with destruction sequences, such as shatter, break, and integrity changes.
The unified mesh format brings numerous improvements to the Vulkan pipeline and internal code coverage alongside a flexible pipeline to bake supplementary data required for Maelstrom destruction. The ability to link internal Maelstrom sequences to game logic advances the devs' ability to easily build complex destruction sequences. Further development will bring Maelstrom destruction entities past the existing legacy destruction and harden the existing pipeline.
Following a full task breakdown, implementation of the transit refactor began. This included setting up basic component and entity classes for destinations, gateways, and gateway peripherals. A new DebugGUI transport-network visualizer was created to assist the initial set up and inform Design of the setup of each transport network. The transit engineers also continued supporting the upcoming Alpha 3.24 release.
For Radar & Scanning, work was completed to allow FPS ping to be used from certain seats - the first being in vehicles that lack their own radar. Alongside this, the team resolved several issues when using an FPS radar within vehicle zones to detect things outside. Work continued on the highlighting effect caused by FPS ping, with the devs now able to apply different colors for different factors, such as hostility. Several other parameters were added to the highlight effect to allow the finetuning of visuals, including fade, timeout, occlusions, fill, and outline.
Support began for new vehicle brackets, including nameplate and distance, and parameters were added to control when and how they should show in different states, such as targeted and pinned. The removal of Scan Operator Mode started too, which will be replaced with ADS Scanning.
The team submitted the framework for a system that will allow Design to begin tagging which scan-producers specific radars run. For example, medical scanners may see health information, while police scanners can detect contraband. An improvement was made to the radar system, allowing faster scan speeds while maintaining performance. Support continued for radar with the Room Query System that allows the occlusion of people behind locked doors.
Finally for Radar & Scanning, a new mechanic was implemented - Delta Signatures. This mechanic has vehicles emit signatures when certain actions are performed, such as ping activation, the activation of quantum boost, and the changing of Master Modes. UI to notify players when they detect a delta signature was implemented too.
For Arena Commander, the team focused on the new frontend style, the FPS horde mode, and backend support.
The implementation of the frontend restyle is nearly complete, with the majority now utilizing the new style and art direction. Several feature requests were sent to the Service teams after review, including a way to query game module and mode population and additional information for friends lists, such as the game mode and map.
For the FPS horde mode, the team implemented the Subsumption mission alongside a way to define spawn wave data. Design will soon begin reviewing the map and marking it up for AI ahead of the spawn-closet engineers becoming available post-Alpha 3.24.
A playtest was conducted on an EVA-only map, Gundo. Due to limitations with the location causing balance concerns, this map will not be released and will instead be used for rapid in-situ developer iteration of the EVA system.
Finally, the team began improving how badges are defined in the game code. This is due to limitations of the system as more teams utilize it. Improvements include giving designers more control over badges and their information by moving what was previously hardcoded to DataForge as well as adding several quality-of-life improvements for developers.
Economy
The Economy team progressed with tasks for Pyro, including setting up the shops and sorting out any related issues.
They also continued implementing the effort-vs-reward algorithm so that mission rewards are balanced according to the risk and time invested by the player. Support was provided for the coming changes to cargo and cargo missions too.
As mentioned in last month’s report, the team worked to rebalance the prices for entire sets of items, including vehicle components (power plants, coolers, shields, quantum drives, weapons, etc.), FPS weapon attachments, ammunition, consumables, and commodities.
The team’s ongoing work involves a new economy for quantum and hydrogen fuel to ensure that refueling isn’t a chore while maintaining the narrative feel of a large universe with unique economies spread across different star systems.
They’re also creating player profiles to better understand how different careers gain and use resources.
Graphics, VFX Programming & Planet Tech
Last month, the stability, performance, and memory usage of Vulkan continued to improve and is now much closer to being the default choice for Star Citizen. The team have also been in contact with AMD, Nvidia, and Intel to diagnose and fix various driver issues.
The Global Illumination team worked across a variety of areas. For example, they improved radiance cache resolution, made stability improvements, and optimized various areas with Fidelity FX. They also provided rough-specular support, improved motion-and-depth-complexity handling for the screen-space light cache, and updated the cascaded light grid to allow for a greater range of global illumination.
Gas-cloud color-processing volumes were added to allow the artists to vary the appearance of large gas clouds as players traverse them. The team also made the first pass at hooking up the required VFX to jump points alongside a new shader for the tunnel and a bespoke lighting and shadowing solution for ships inside it.
Support for fire hazards continued, which involved adding directionality to the generalized burn and dirt shader effect for entities. This allows localized burning, such as on one side of a door. Visual improvements were also added to creatures, such as the ability to spawn decals from GPU particles.
A new managed-entity-region system was designed and entered development. The goal of this is to manage the lifetime of the many procedurally spawned entities, such as creatures and mineable rocks. This is critical to the introduction of persistent entities, server recovery, and server meshing, as these systems require very strict and careful management of entity lifetimes.
GPU terrain generation was implemented as a stepping stone to the team’s plans for fully GPU-generated virtualized terrain, which will be utilized in Planet Tech v5.
Finally, an efficient query mechanism is being designed and added to planets. This will be used by the new location-scatter tool that will help populate planets for Star Citizen 1.0.
In-Game Branding
The In-Game Branding team made significant progress across various projects throughout June, including new navigational signage for Pyro and graffiti for Ruin Station. They also started work on a new location alongside the Landing Zone team.
Interactables
June saw the Interactables team finishing off liquid containers, which will be used in the upcoming Blockade Runner missions. Hazardous containers were worked on too, with the team taking all sizes to final following destructibility tests.

The Lighting team focused on work for Alpha 4.0, including tasks for the new acidic cave archetype, Pyro station modules, and outpost locations.
They’re currently dialing in the atmospheres for all of Pyro’s planets and moons to give each a unique look and feel.
Locations
The Landing Zone team spent part of the month fixing bugs for cargo alongside adding to the variety of modules available for Pyro’s stations.
Alongside this, the Organics team progressed with asset creation for new biomes that will go on new planets in the future. They also closed out the acidic cave archetype.
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Narrative
One of the Narrative team’s bigger focuses in June was their continued support of the upcoming cargo gameplay, which included writing new mission text. The team also dedicated time toward Star Citizen 1.0, diving deeper into the new content that patch will bring. Part of this will fall onto Narrative Design, who further expand the presence of Social AI in the universe.
Additionally, Narrative began building out the lore and mission text for a future large-scale event mission. They also provided the Branding team with several company bios that will be used to flesh out style guides.
“This month also saw another edition of Loremakers: Community Questions go live, so be sure to check it out and then add your own questions to the Narrative Team Ask A Dev Spectrum page for a chance to have your question answered next time.” Narrative Team
The team also published a fresh batch of Galactapedia entries alongside a story of Banu Divestment in honor of Alien Week.
Online Technology
In June, the Online Services team worked toward completing the Social Services backend overhaul. This will boost the performance and scalability of social functionalities, including chat, friends, and groups, and will enable the service to support a higher volume of concurrent users and requests. Additionally, it will simplify the integration of new features. For example, making things like creating and joining a party from within the Spectrum web portal possible.
The team also integrated a new version of Easy Anti-Cheat and will soon begin testing for false positives as well as testing the boot check feature on a limited sample size.
Furthermore, the team progressed with potential features for Alpha 4.0. This included significant overhauls to the mission and marker systems as well as the development of the player-trade functionality, which align with the overarching objective of achieving Server Meshing.
The Networking team continued to work toward the first version of Server Meshing. This included testing various configurations for the mesh and the underlying cloud infrastructure while capturing critical performance information to help finetune and target bottlenecks.
Tech Art/Animation
The Technical Animation team continued to invest in a wide range of long-term tasks, facilitating improvements across both projects.
For example, work progressed on the ‘Put On, Take Off’ initiative, which is close to completion. These animations will soon be integrated into the game and will significantly enhance the realism of character interactions and provide a more engaging player experience. Several creatures for Alpha 4.0 were finalized too.
Enhancements were also made to the Character Customizer, including the successful integration of new heads. This enhancement will offer players more variety and customization options, further enriching personalization.
“Our ongoing collaboration with the SST and Cinematics departments remains strong. The focus on ensuring the technical implementation of animations and scene content is of the highest quality is unwavering. This synergy is crucial in maintaining the seamless integration of animations and ensuring a top-tier visual experience for our audience. The achievements of the Technical Animation team this past month are a testament to their hard work and dedication. As we move forward, we are confident that we will continue to reach new heights and deliver exceptional content for our players.” Tech Animation Team
VFX
Last month, the VFX team supported teams on deliverables planned for Alpha 3.24 and 4.0, including the RSI Zeus Mk II.
VFX also supported Locations on new biome archetypes, including acidic caves, alongside new modules for Pyro.
Finally, VFX progressed with tasks for several upcoming features, such as fire hazards, the resource network, and Pyro.

Hello everyone, xē'suelen
We hope you're having a stellar start to your week! On our side, the team is focused on Star Citizen Alpha 3.24 and beyond, recently completing a short playtest with our Evocati test group to collect early feedback. We'll spin up more playtests soon, so keep a close eye on Spectrum for updates. We're looking forward to opening up Alpha 3.24 to more testers, so that all of you can dive in and explore new features such as personal and instanced hangars, cargo-hauling missions, freight elevators, storage access, and more!
Looking back at last week, Inside Star Citizen provided insights into how the Level Design team blends gameplay elements with environments to create cohesive experiences. If you want to learn more, make sure to give it a watch!
For lore lovers like me, the Narrative team published loads of exciting new details in their latest Galactapedia update. Energy shields, scanners, cryopods, and the Krēl system just to name a few!
Lastly, we'd like to shine a bright spotlight on our vibrant community in Asia, where we recently had the pleasure of attending two unforgettable events. First, our team traveled to Taipei for an incredibly immersive Bar Citizen (the decor was awesome!). There, we were treated to a handful of excellent presentations, including a live demonstration and tutorial by Morphologis, a racing tournaments that had us all on the edge of our seats (and screaming at the top of our lungs), and even some lively singalongs of pirate shanties courtesy of Drake Interplanetary.
Then, last Saturday, we had the privilege of connecting with our community in Shenzhen, China, at their largest gathering yet (over 2,000 attendees!). We participated in a lively Q&A session, enjoyed a variety of tournaments, giveaways, cosplay, and much more. Events like these, especially on the opposite side of the globe, serve as a powerful reminder of the diversity and global reach of our community. What's most inspiring is that our shared passion for the universe we are building transcends all language and cultural barriers – whether you're in Shenzhen, France, Antarctica (you never know) or anywhere else on the planet, a Bar Citizen event always feels like home among like-minded pilots.
Keep a close eye on our social media channels - now that we're back home, we're going to start sharing loads of pictures and videos from both events soon!
Now, let's see what's going on this week:
Today, we are thrilled to announce our newest collaboration with MTSIM on their exciting Flight Sim Chair project. Fans of RSI, Anvil, and Mirai will find today's announcement particularly exciting. Be sure to visit the official page to explore the chairs, their features, and more details!
Tuesday, return to Stanton's secret drug labs with Jumptown: pillage and plunder! Subscribers will also receive July's updates in both comm-link and newsletter forms.
Wednesday brings development updates, with June's Monthly Reports for Star Citizen (Comm-Link) and Squadron 42 (Newsletter).
This Thursday, Star Citizen Live invites the UK Networking team to discuss all those big Tech Preview tests from the last eight months, including how they went, what they learned, and how they're moving forward on our journey to Alpha 4.0. It's Dev Diary: Server Meshing!
On Friday's Star Citizen Live, Jorrit and Nick return to play the new cargo mission they created on last week's show. Don't forget to submit your questions for consideration on the Spectrum thread. The show starts at 8 am Pacific / 15:00 UTC on Twitch. You'll also find our weekly RSI Newsletter in your inbox.

Welcome to Loremakers: Community Questions, a series focused on answering your lore quandaries and conundrums. We’ve done a deep dive through the lore Ask A Dev section and selected ten questions to answer about the Star Citizen universe. All questions were edited for context and clarity but you can click on the topic to go directly to the original post and join the conversation. Also, the Narrative team plans to do one installment of Loremakers: Community Questions every quarter with the next entry scheduled for Tuesday, September 17th, so please join the discussion and drop any other questions you might have about the universe in our Ask A Dev forum.
NPC Mission Givers
Question: Why haven’t there been any new ‘hero’ NPCs added in a while? Receiving missions through the mobiGlas feels impersonal and doesn't encourage exploration.
Answer: There have been a lot of discussions about NPCs lately as the team works with Design to craft the ultimate 1.0 experience while also looking beyond to future updates. We can't really get into specifics now, but yes, the general goal is to promote more interactions in order to help make the universe (and the mission providers) feel more alive. That being said, it's not a trivial thing to add characters to the game, so we've been trying to figure out how to approach this in a scalable way that we will be able to support beyond 1.0. Less on the mission front, but the Narrative team has also been taking a larger role in developing the Social AI behaviors in the PU. While the stories and characters slated for 1.0 are still being kept under wraps, we are aiming to start bringing improvements and personality to the various landing zones into patches sooner.
Navy Exploration
Question: Does the exploratory division of the Navy compete with the private sector? Are they just looking for strategic advantages & jump points or does it include general exploration? Are they looking for the Krell system? Have they given up on looking for the jump point to Oretani system? Why don't the Navy just pay contractors to do the work? If something is found, does High Command plan to keep it a secret? How many secret jump points are the Navy actively using? Is the UEEN Pathfinders Division the new name for the Navy Exploratory Division or are they the same thing?
Answer: Exploration is an interesting facet of the ‘verse. There are a lot of great observations here across all those questions, so we’ll try to tackle it piece by piece.
First, we’re not 100% sure where the terms “Navy Exploratory Division” or UEEN Pathfinders Division came from. If you have a link to a source, please send it our way. We’ve mentioned Exploratory Squadrons in the Whitley’s Guide for the Terrapin, as well as the UEE Exploratory Services in the introduction of the Idris Corvette. There have also been broad mentions of military pathfinders throughout the years, but we also generically refer to explorers of all stripes as “pathfinders.”
The UEE Exploratory Services are not a branch of the military. The department is tasked with both discovering new systems and surveying those discovered by private pathfinders to evaluate whether it is viable for colonization or another purpose. In their primary function of general exploration, the UEE pathfinders do compete with private sector pathfinders, but exploration is a tricky business and it’s a big universe – so there’s plenty of room for everyone. Some of the pathfinders working for both the UEE and private companies might be freelance, but most organizations would also employ their own staff.
The military in general also operate pathfinding patrols, and are usually involved in exploring systems that have intrinsic military value, such as ones that lead into known Vanduul systems. Any such jump points would absolutely be kept secret, so there’s no telling how many are in use.
As far as the Krell system is concerned, we can neither confirm nor deny. If the UEE were to be looking for it, they wouldn’t be doing it publicly, as it would likely antagonize our Xi’an friends. Lastly, regarding the Oretani system, enough time has passed that there’s not as much enthusiasm around the search for it, so it’s likely that most efforts have died down, but there’s always hope.
Vanduul Aftermath
Question: In what state do Vanduul leave the planets they've harvested? Will the environment ever recover?
Answer: When the Vanduul Harvesters are finished with a planet, all that’s left is a scarred, barren world. It is highly likely these planets will never recover their vibrancy. It’s a core part of the tragedy of a Vanduul attack – that these targeted worlds are doomed to exist only as reminders of the Vanduul’s cruelty and voraciousness. To make matters worse, the Vanduul Clans use the resources they gather to fuel their continued advance and produce more weapons of war. Some terraforming scientists have been studying the possibility of revitalizing these worlds should the UEE retake them, but to date it remains beyond the current capabilities. That said, planets that have only partially harvested do have some hope of recovery which helps to drive some of the urgency of the war effort to push back the Vanduul.
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Signage in the 'verse
Question: Is there a universal language for traffic signs across the UEE?
Answer: We’re not the best team to tackle this, so we reached out to Art Director of Visual Identity, Nicolas Fortin. Here’s what he had to say in answer:
"We have started on a convention for safety signage in general, but there is still quite a lot of work to do on this front.
At the moment we are designing these signs with a local flavor approach while doing our best to maintain a certain level of consistency throughout Stanton... Pyro will have a different feel of course, as would other star systems.
There is a lot of legacy material in the game that we have to compose with too but the plan and intention is to bring more structure and consistency to these types of assets in game."
So, there you have it. Narrative works closely with branding to help review these signs and make sure they’re recognizable, while still feeling distinct, to our far-future setting.
Where is the Imperator?
Question: Where is the Imperator? Four years into her term and there's been little word of what she's doing. Is she aware of what's happening in Stanton / Pyro? XenoThreat? Did she get her AI legislation through the Senate?
Answer: While Imperator Addison has been busy, the administration has been met with frustration as many of their initiatives have encountered roadblocks. Probably the most noticeable change in the Empire so far has been the continued improvement of xeno-diplomatic relations, which are viewed as stronger than ever before. On the technology front, the ”Better Today Act'' to allow additional AI research did pass but in a heavily modified form that deeply weakened the proposed initiative. One major change was that a senate committee has to approve all AI research and so for they have only approved one project relating to improving intersystem communication.
The growing crime issue has drawn much of the Imperator’s attention away from other campaign goals, and she is stuck in a difficult place of maintaining the war against the Vanduul while trying to protect the people of the Empire. Her desired expansion of the Education budget was put on hold in favor of allocating additional resources to security spending. Additionally, recent reports have begun to indicate that there may be some unforeseen issues with the regen technology that would not only be a significant blow to her administration but Humanity itself. We will have to keep an eye out to see how that story develops…
Unions During the Messer Regime
Question: What was the relationship between the Messer Regime and the various unions/guilds? Many authoritarian governments, in their pursuit of keeping the working class oppressed, have chosen to significantly weaken or dissolve any existing guilds and unions. In Star Citizen organizations such as the United Resource Workers fought for workers' rights for centuries before Ivar Messer installed himself as the first Imperator. How did he and his successors deal with them and vice versa?
Answer: The Messer regime definitely used their power and authority to control and influence unions and guilds across the UEE. One example established in lore involves the Interstellar Transport Guild (ITG). Founded in 2391, the ITG fought and defended hauler’s rights for over a century before Ivar Messar came to power. Yet, the guild came under fire in the early 2690s when haulers in Terra filed a series of lawsuits that exposed a massive corruption scandal where ITG officials secretly funneled member dues to pro-Messer political candidates and organizations.
This subversive influence of the ITG illustrates how the Messer regime probably dealt with most of the major, established unions. Allowing entrenched pro-worker organizations to exist and operate provided their members the illusion of power. In reality, Messer sycophants and spies would infiltrate or be installed into these groups to monitor and control their actions. Then, during some particularly dark periods, guild members classified by the regime as ‘agitators’ would be offered special jobs, or simply easily tracked, only to ‘disappear’ or fall victim to some unfortunate fate.
While it was advantageous for the Messer regime to keep legacy unions around, they also used their influence to crush groups trying to establish themselves. Many of these new labor organizations had their origins in or around Terra. To keep them from spreading, the Messer regime went on the offensive in both overt and covert ways. They banned certain organizations by labeling them as fronts for gangs or the Xi’an. On the secretive side of things, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of 2806 exposed that the regime threatened to reduce the government contracts awarded to major companies, like Aegis and CDS, if any of their operations worked with these newer labor groups.

Question: The Whitley's Guide on the Vulture mentions that:
“In 2932, an Aegis Dynamics Reclaimer, the General Dogsbody, made history with the single most profitable salvage mission in human history when it discovered and recovered a failed 22nd-century colony ship adrift in deep space.”
22nd Century implies a date looking like 21XX; however, Artemis -- the most famous of the interstellar colony ships -- launched in 2232. Was it intended for the discovery to have been a failed 23rd-century colony ship? Or were there other colony ships (interstellar OR only interplanetary in nature) launched before Artemis?
I'm assuming that you did not intend to solve the mystery of the Artemis as a side note in Whitley's Guide... so perhaps we could know more about the other colony ships that were sent, and especially the one that was found here?
Answer: Your instincts are right. Artemis is not the colony ship found and salvaged by General Dogsbody. Artemis was but one of several colony ships Humanity sent into deep space in the late 22nd and early 23rd centuries. Prior to Nick Croshaw becoming the first person to successfully survive a roundtrip through a jump point in 2271, these ventures were seen as Humanity’s best chance at expanding our footprint in the universe. While the Artemis remains the most famous due to the ship being monitored and piloted by Janus, which at the time was the most complex AI system ever created by Humans. The ship’s sudden disappearance fourteen years prior to the expected date led to widespread speculation that the AI was at fault which galvanized anti-AI attitudes and legislation that persists to this day in the UEE. For this reason, Artemis is still remembered in the current UEE and spotlighted by the lore.
The lore hasn’t focused much on the other colony ships, but it’s a potentially rich area for us to dig into. The exact number launched remains a mystery due to several factors, including lost records due to data corruption. Also confusing the matter is that these colony ships were sent by a variety of corporate interests and individual nations in an era before the creation of the United Nations of Earth. Details about most of these ships, including their intended destinations, reasons for going, crew manifests, and supplies onboard, have been lost to time and would hamper the chances of their eventual discovery.
People's Alliance Locations
Question: Is there a space station the People's Alliance lives in? Do they have any sort of militia or navy? Have they built anything beyond Levski?
Answer: The People's Alliance notably inhabit the asteroid base of Levski, which was the site of their proposed 'new society' established to escape from the authoritarianism of the Messers.
They would have a security force to help protect Levski, but in keeping with their general ethos, it would be a purely defensive force and probably use lethal force as a last resort. As we start diving into the Nyx as a system, fictionally it would make sense that they would have settlements outside of Levski in the system to help sustain themselves whether its mining outposts or the like, but we'll have to keep you posted.
The Moraine
Question: Is it intended for this faction to have any representation outside of Nyx, and can we expect to see any info on them prior to or upon release of Nyx?
Answer: Our current intention is for the Moraine to remain specific to Nyx. They serve as a solid counterpoint to the People’s Alliance and occupy an interesting part of the “system geography” through their headquarters on the Glaciem Ring in Nyx. In addition, with their intense family focus, it’s unlikely the Moraine would grow so large as to expand beyond Nyx. Expect to see more of them as we work towards the system’s release in game.
What Hunts the Stormwals
Question: What hunts the Stormwal?
Answer: For the most part, stormwals don't have predators. Like the blue whale on Earth, they are so enormous that it takes a huge amount of effort to kill them. Predators don't really like putting more work into killing than they put into eating. Humans, who have the benefit of ships and weapons to do the job for them, are about the only things out there that prey on stormwals. Let's hope that they don't end up hunting them to extinction.
There ARE creatures out there that eat stormwals, if you'd like a little more insight into Crusader's food chain. When a stormwal dies of old age or injury, the internal mechanisms that keep it afloat slowly break down, and it begins a gradual descent into the crushing depths of Crusader. Scavengers, zooplankton, kiami, and other organisms begin to feed off the dead stormwal as it falls. This in turn causes a spike in reproductive activity. It's a real boon to the ecosystem.

Star Citizen hat ein neues Event spendiert bekommen. Mit Assault on Stanton sind die Xenothreat-Outlaws zurück und sorgen für Unruhe im Stanton-System. Als Spieler müsst ihr euch der Civilian Defense Force anschließen und den üblen Schurken ein für alle Mal das Handwerk legen. Ein neuer Trailer zeigt erstes Gameplay aus dem Event - und das lässt Star Citizen fast wie einen waschechten Taktik-Shooter erscheinen. Die Gefechte auf einem gekaperten Raumschiff sind knackig inszentiert. Die im Trailer gezeigten Spieler aus dem Roleplaying-Squad UEE Pathfinders halten strikte militärische Disziplin und gehen als eingespieltes Team vor. So gelingt es ihnen, die gestohlene Fracht von den Xenothreats zurückzuerobern und deren Raumschiff von innen heraus zu zerstören. Auf der Webseite von Star Citizen könnt ihr mehr über das aktuelle Event erfahren. Alle weiteren Infos rund um die Weltraum-Sim findet ihr bei uns: Unter anderem bieten wir euch gemeinsam mit Star-Citizen-Experte Knebel einen Ausblick auf Release-Version 1.0 und erklären euch, warum Patch 4.0 ein wichtiger Meilenstein für das Spiel gewesen ist.

XenoThreat Returns
The air crackles with tension, and the weight of countless lives hangs in the balance. In recent weeks, outlaw group XenoThreat has launched its most brutal campaign of violence in the Stanton system yet, and the Navy has once again called upon all brave pilots to help combat the scourge. The culmination of weeks of relentless struggle against the insidious XenoThreat incursion has arrived - the XenoThreat Global Event in Star Citizen Alpha 3.23.
Read on for more details about what to expect in this server-wide event, helpful tips and guides, and how to prepare for the impending attack. You can find the mission briefings, regular updates on the event's state, and the exclusive CDF reputation rewards here.
Are you new to Star Citizen? Visit our New Player Guide first for tips on getting started, and return here after you've mastered the basics.
Phase 1
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.With XenoThreat's declaration of war, you are called upon to join the Civilian Defense Force (CDF) to eliminate this threat to the Stanton system.
Phase 2
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.The message from Special Agent Rowena Dulli, the CDF coordinator, orders you to report to the INS Jericho military station, which is located in the vicinity of the Stanton-Pyro Jump Point. All help is needed to fight back against XenoThreat, so it doesn't matter what ship you pilot or whether you go in a group or alone.
In this phase, you're tasked with protecting and resupplying the UEES War Hammer, a Javelin destroyer docked at INS Jericho. The supplies are available approximately 600 km away in a wreck site of destroyed Navy ships. Caution is advised on approach, as XenoThreat ground troops may still linger. The materials can be found in secure containers in the cargo hold or floating around the wreck site; all with different properties.
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.We would recommended bringing along a MultiTool with a tractor-beam attachment to handle some of the containers, as you won't be able to do so by hand. Note, however, that XenoThreat is highly active in this area, so always watch your back or bring security. While you're off gathering supplies, the Javelin docked at the station may also be attacked by XenoThreat. It must be defended at all costs, as it cannot protect itself while the resupply is running.
Once you've got the cargo on board, travel back to Jericho Station and hand it in at one of the terminals. When all the required materials have been collected and handed in, the next phase of the event begins.
Phase 3
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.As soon as the supplies are replenished, the UEES War Hammer will fight alongside you against XenoThreat, who have brought an Idris and several escorts. With combined firepower, you must face the waves of attack and ensure that XenoThreat are stopped.

Zeta-Prolanide
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt."See the timer? When that hits zero it'll be worthless."
Zeta-Prolanide is an industrial reactant chemical that has found widespread use in neutralizing irradiated materials. Due to its volatility, it must be kept in an electrically charged state. It will lose integrity outside of containment, eventually leading to a rapid exothermic reaction. The current deterioration state is displayed on the container display.
Zeta-Prolanide degrades over time until breaking down completely (Time Sensitive).
AcryliPlex Composite
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt."Careful with that one. Acryliplex is extremely explosive if damaged."
AcryliPlex Composite is a moldable material used in the construction of explosives. In addition to being commonly used in demolition applications for heavy industry and mining, it is also used to create small, potent warheads. Care must be taken while transporting larger quantities of the composite as it is impact and heat sensitive.
AcryliPlex Composite becomes explosively unstable if damaged (Damage Sensitive).
Diluthermex
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt."Whatever you do, don't try and quantum travel with that on board."
Diluthermex is an extremely heat resistant epoxy often used in the mounting and repair of ship thrusters. It is considered very difficult to transport in its uncured state as it becomes explosively unstable when exposed to Chan-Eisen fields during quantum travel. Specialized containers must be used to safely transport the epoxy over long distances. Once set and cured, Diluthermex is no longer reactive.
Diluthermex releases a destructive energy pulse if exposed to quantum travel (Quantum Travel Sensitive).
DynaFlex
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.“DynaFlex? Really hard to bust. It’ll bend like hell, and then bend a little more before it even thinks about breaking.”
Developed for use by the military, this absorptive material can withstand severe stress owing to its extreme flexibility. DynaFlex is known for its application in scalable armor reinforcement, well suited to large ships and vehicles, as well as personal body protection, but its natural tractability and toughness render it an incredibly versatile material across the UEE.
How To Play
While there is no right or wrong way to approach the XenoThreat Dynamic Event, we've collected a few tips that should help you go through the different phases and come out victorious. Before you begin with your travel toward the Pyro Gateway station, be sure to take on the "Call To Arms" mission to maximize your profits. With this mission active, the CDF will compensate you for taking down NPCs and players with a CrimeStat.
And speaking of the law, always watch your fire to avoid getting a CrimeStat yourself. You don't want to be twiddling your thumbs at the Klescher Rehabilitation Facility while your friends take down XenoThreat and reap all the rewards!
Approaching the Wreck Site
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Before entering a Starfarer wreck to search for the resupply materials you should always intiate a scan. Hit V for scanning mode and hold down the left mouse button to start scanning. This will reveal the number of containers and any enemy pirates on board! Even if you do know the number of enemies, sometimes things can go south, so make sure you bring some medical equipment and weaponry.
After clearing the wrecks, power up the generator and open the cargo bay doors. For more effortless loading, position your ship so the cargo bay door faces the cargo door of the wreck. Don't forget to also check the wreck site thoroughly as some containers might be floating among the debris.
Cargo Loading
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Remember to come prepared! You should bring a Pyro RYT Multi-Tool with a TruHold Tractor Beam Attachment to not only move containers quickly, but also to handle some of the bigger containers that can't be moved by hand.
It's also wise to bring some support, as XenoThreat (or other players) may try to attack while you’re busy offloading cargo.
To turn in the resupply materials, fly to Jericho Station and access any of the available trading terminals. You can keep track of the server-wide progress towards the Javelin resupply on top of your screen.
Team work makes the dream work
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Remember to make sure someone handles the defenses as XenoThreat will attack in waves around the wrecks. Communication is critical to effectively organize the loading of cargo while keeping the attackers at bay.
Once the Javelin is rearmed, it'll go for one last push against XenoThreat. The enemy will join the fight with full force, bringing several Hammerheads, fighters and an Idris frigate. Before taking out the big guns, we recommend first taking out the support crafts. Alternately, you can board the Idris to eliminate the XenoThreat commander.

Tales from the Cryptograph
All of you history buffs out there will be familiar with the epic games of cryptographic cat-and-mouse played by the UEE and Xi’an during the cold war. Intercepting and decoding enemy intelligence became something akin to an art form for both sides of the conflict. Of course, figuring out which were solid intelligence and which were red herrings was an altogether different story.Years later, with relations between the empires in a true golden age, crypto-tricksters still challenge would-be codebreakers to decipher their messages, with thankfully much lower stakes.
