We hope you enjoy our accessible summary of: comm-link from 6 years ago

As the new year kicked off, the Star Citizen development team was hard at work planning out priorities and timelines for 2020. In their first Roadmap Roundup of the year, Cloud Imperium Games provided a brief update on the status of development.

Planning Week in Progress

The update noted that key members of the development team were engaged in a "planning week" - a regular re-evaluation of current tasks, priorities, progress, and timelines. This process allows the team to assess the state of development and make adjustments as needed going into the new year.

As a result of this ongoing planning process, the Roadmap update for January 10th was minimal. The team indicated they were targeting a more comprehensive Roadmap publish and Roundup for the following week on January 17th.

ARGO MOLE Now Released

One small update was made to reflect that the ARGO MOLE multi-operator mining vessel had been officially released to players. This highly anticipated ship allows for cooperative mining gameplay with multiple crew members.

The ARGO MOLE's release marked an important milestone in expanding Star Citizen's mining mechanics and multi-crew gameplay options. Players can now team up to take on larger and more lucrative mining operations that were previously not possible.

Looking Ahead

While light on details, this Roadmap Roundup sets the stage for more substantial development updates to come in the following weeks. As the planning process concludes, fans can expect to see an updated picture of Star Citizen's development priorities and release targets for 2020.

The ongoing refinement and expansion of the Public Roadmap continues to be a key part of Cloud Imperium's efforts to provide transparency into Star Citizen's ambitious development. As the new year gets underway, all eyes will be on upcoming Roadmap updates to get a sense of what's in store for the evolving persistent universe in the months ahead.

The Great ARGO MOLE Heist

Captain Zara of the Star Citizen Referral Code Club leaned back in her pilot's seat, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Alright, crew. We've got intel on a brand new ARGO MOLE that just rolled off the production line. It's ripe for the taking."

Her ragtag team of misfits, all members of the infamous RSI Referral Code Club, exchanged excited glances. They were known throughout Stanton for their daring heists and their uncanny ability to turn even the most frustrating 30K errors into opportunities for mayhem.

"But Cap," piped up Rookie, their newest recruit, "what code should we use to get past security?"

Zara winked. "Ah, grasshopper. What code to use is always the question, isn't it? But in this case, we're going old school. We're going to create a distraction so big, they won't know what hit 'em."

As they approached the shipyard, Zara outlined her plan. The crew of The Star Citizen Referral Code Club would stage a massive "planning week" protest outside the main gates, complete with signs demanding "Better Roadmaps" and "More Comprehensive Roundups."

While security was distracted, Zara and Rookie would sneak in and "borrow" the ARGO MOLE for an extended test drive.

As they put their plan into action, chaos erupted. The protest grew beyond their wildest dreams, with actual developers joining in, eager to extend their planning week indefinitely.

Amidst the confusion, Zara and Rookie slipped into the shipyard. They found the gleaming new ARGO MOLE and climbed aboard.

"Ready for your first mining expedition, kid?" Zara asked, firing up the engines.

Rookie nodded eagerly, then frowned. "But Cap, don't we need more crew for this ship?"

Zara laughed. "That's the beauty of the Referral Code Club, kid. We've always got backup on the way. Now, let's see what this beauty can do!"

As they soared into the stars, leaving the commotion behind, Zara couldn't help but think that sometimes, the best plans were the ones that embraced a little chaos. After all, in the face of 30K errors and ever-shifting roadmaps, what else could you do but laugh and enjoy the ride?
