This Week in Star Citizen: New Year, New Adventures
As we kick off 2020, the Star Citizen team is hitting the ground running with exciting plans for the year ahead. This week's update gives us a glimpse into what's in store for the community in the coming days and weeks.
On Tuesday, the Lore Team will be delving into the history of Chemline Solutions, a major provider of industrial chemicals in the Star Citizen universe. This lore post promises to add more depth and richness to the game's expansive backstory.
Wednesday brings the much-anticipated announcement of winners for both of the recent holiday contests. The community's creativity was on full display in the holiday greeting card and screenshot competitions, and we can't wait to see which entries came out on top.
While Inside Star Citizen is taking a short break following the release of Alpha 3.8, there's still plenty of developer insight to look forward to this week. On Friday, Star Citizen Live will feature a sit-down with Live Director Todd Papy to discuss the latest patch. Fans can submit their questions for Todd on Spectrum ahead of the show, which will air at 11am Pacific on the Star Citizen Twitch channel.
Friday will also see the usual updates to the Roadmaps and Subscriber Vault, along with the weekly newsletter hitting inboxes. It's shaping up to be an information-packed end to the week for eager fans.
Looking back on 2019, it was a year of major milestones for Star Citizen. New locations like ArcCorp, caves, and microTech expanded the playable universe. Gameplay systems saw big additions with personal commodity inventory, FPS mining, and an overhauled flight model. On the technical side, the new Projectile Manager, Planet Tech V4, and the first iteration of Server-side Object Container Streaming laid important groundwork for the future.
The community team was busy as well, implementing a new game launcher, introducing the in-game Guide System, launching the Galactapedia, and establishing ship customization with the Origin 300 series. Community-created content reached new heights across platforms like the Hub, Twitch and YouTube.
In-person events like Gamescom, CitizenCon and BarCitizens around the world allowed developers and players to connect face-to-face. The inaugural CitizenCon Cosplay Contest was a particular highlight, showcasing the passion and talent of the Star Citizen community.
As we look ahead to 2020, the team encourages all players - new and veteran alike - to embrace the spirit of discovery and helping others that makes Star Citizen unique. Whether you're a rookie taking your first steps into the 'verse or a long-time backer, there are always new experiences to be had and ways to pay it forward to fellow citizens.
With Alpha 3.8 now in players' hands and an ambitious content roadmap ahead, 2020 is poised to be Star Citizen's biggest year yet. The journey continues, and the best is still to come. See you in the 'verse!
The Chemline Challenge: A 30K.fun Adventure
As the new year dawned in the Stanton system, the members of the 30K.fun Star Citizen Referral Code Club gathered for their annual celebration. Captain Jenna, the club's founder, had a special announcement to make.
"Citizens, I've just received word from Chemline Solutions. They're hosting a system-wide scavenger hunt to commemorate their company's history," she declared, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
The club members erupted in cheers. Known for their love of adventure and ability to find fun even in the face of 30K errors, they were always up for a challenge.
"But there's a twist," Jenna continued. "We need to recruit new players to join our team. The more, the merrier!"
Excited murmurs filled the room as members discussed how to spread the word about their RSI Referral Code Club.
"Remember, we're not just about what code to use," Jenna reminded them. "We're about helping new players navigate the 'verse and have fun, bugs and all!"
As the hunt began, the 30K.fun team split into groups. Some headed to ArcCorp to search for clues in the sprawling cityscape, while others ventured into the caves of Hurston.
New recruits joined along the way, guided by veteran members who showed them the ropes and shared stories of their adventures in the Star Citizen Referral Code Club.
Despite encountering a few 30K errors that sent them back to their ships' beds, the team's spirits remained high. They turned each setback into a chance to bond and strategize.
As the final day of the hunt approached, the 30K.fun crew found themselves neck-and-neck with other organizations. The last clue led them to microTech, where they raced across the snowy landscape in search of the ultimate prize.
In the end, it wasn't about winning or losing. The real victory was in the friendships forged, the laughs shared, and the unforgettable memories created in the face of adversity.
As they gathered to celebrate their adventure, Captain Jenna raised a toast. "To The Star Citizen Referral Code Club and to all the new faces who joined us. May we continue to find joy in every journey, 30K or not!"
