This Week in Star Citizen: February 10th, 2020
As we approach Valentine's Day, love is in the air in the Star Citizen universe. Cloud Imperium Games has kicked off the romantic season early this year with some heartfelt competitions and events for players to enjoy.
The "Be My Valentine" card contest is currently underway, giving creative citizens the chance to craft and share custom Valentine's cards for their favorite ships or characters. Prizes up for grabs include coveted ships like the Banu Defender, Anvil Hornet Heartseeker, and MISC Reliant Tana. There's still time to enter, so don't miss out on the opportunity to express your love through art and potentially win an awesome new ship.
Beyond the Valentine's festivities, CIG is hard at work on some major improvements to core social systems in Star Citizen. This month's infographic provides an in-depth look at the current state of friends lists, grouping, and in-game communications. Meanwhile, the latest episode of Inside Star Citizen gives us a peek behind the curtain at the new and improved social features currently in development.
The revamped social systems aim to make it easier than ever to connect and play with friends across the vast expanses of the 'verse. We can look forward to more intuitive friend management, streamlined group formation, and enhanced communication tools to keep us in touch whether planetside or out in deep space.

Love Conquers All: A 30K Valentine's Tale
As Valentine's Day approached in the Stanton system, the members of the 30K.fun Star Citizen Referral Code Club were abuzz with excitement. They had decided to host a special event to spread love and cheer throughout the 'verse, despite the occasional 30K errors that plagued their adventures.
Captain Amelia, leader of the RSI Referral Code Club, had a brilliant idea. "Let's organize a massive Valentine's Day convoy across Stanton!" she exclaimed during their weekly meeting. The group enthusiastically agreed, eager to showcase their unity and resilience in the face of server disconnects.
As word spread about the event, new players flocked to join The Star Citizen Referral Code Club, seeking both companionship and guidance in the vast universe. Veteran members welcomed them warmly, sharing tips on what code to use when first pledging to maximize their bonuses.
On the day of the event, a colorful array of ships assembled above Port Olisar. From nimble Auroras to massive Carracks, each vessel was adorned with heart-shaped decals and twinkling lights. The convoy set off towards microTech, their destination for a grand Valentine's party.
Halfway through their journey, the dreaded 30K error struck. Ships blinked out of existence, leaving their pilots floating in the void. But the 30K.fun crew didn't despair. Instead, they regrouped with laughter and determination, refusing to let technical hiccups dampen their spirits.
As they finally touched down on microTech's snowy surface, the group realized that their shared experience had only strengthened their bonds. They celebrated not just Valentine's Day, but the power of friendship and perseverance in the face of adversity.
The Referral Code Club 's Valentine's convoy became legendary, a testament to the indomitable spirit of Star Citizen's community. And as they raised their glasses in the cozy warmth of New Babbage, they knew that no bug or error could ever truly disconnect the hearts united by their shared passion for the stars.
