Star Citizen News Headlines:
Fan Fiction based on every News article we write
To keep things fun, we also take the liberty of writing a fun short Star Citizen fan fiction inspired by every news article we write (see beneath each article in the news section). We hope you'll enjoy this fun approach to delivering the news. Here's a taste of our fan fiction shenanigans below.
A Glitch in the Stanton System
As the Stanton system buzzed with activity, a peculiar group of pilots gathered at Port Olisar. They called themselves 30KFUN, a band of merry adventurers who found joy in the face of the universe's most notorious bugs.
"Alright, recruits!" shouted Captain Glitch, their fearless leader. "Today, we're going to show these newbies how to have fun when the servers decide to take a coffee break!"
The new pilots shuffled nervously, unsure what to expect. One of them, a fresh-faced rookie named Nova, raised her hand. "Um, what's a 30K error?"
Captain Glitch grinned. "Oh, you'll find out soon enough! But first, let's make sure you're all settled in. Did everyone find the accessible guides we prepared for new pilots?"
The recruits nodded, and Nova added, "Yeah, those screen-reader friendly tutorials really helped me understand the basics of quantum travel and landing procedures."
"Excellent!" Captain Glitch exclaimed. "Now, let's head to Crusader and see if we can join that Supply Pyro event without triggering a good old-fashioned server crash!"
As they boarded their spaceships, veteran pilot Cosmic Carl sidled up to Nova. "Don't worry, kid. 30KFUN has your back. When things go sideways, just remember to laugh!"
The fleet took off, weaving through asteroids and dodging space debris. Suddenly, Nova's spaceship started to glitch, phasing in and out of existence.
"Captain!" she yelled. "My spaceship's acting weird!"
Captain Glitch's laughter crackled over the comms. "Congratulations, Nova! You've just experienced your first quantum entanglement bug. Welcome to the community!"
As the recruits' spaceships began to dance an impossible ballet through space, the veterans cheered. "Remember, folks," Captain Glitch announced, "in Star Citizen, it's not about the destination. It's about the hilarious journey and the friends we make along the way!"
And with that, the entire fleet blinked out of existence, only to reappear moments later in the most unlikely of places – inside a space whale's belly. But that, as they say, is a story for another day in the glitch-filled, laughter-packed adventures of 30KFUN.
