Security forces in the Fousang system are reporting that criminal organisations in the area are executing more frequent and audacious raids on civilian traffic.

Wing Commander Horatio Montange of Fousang security had this to say:

"Our resources are stretched with the Thargoid threat, and a certain criminal element has taken advantage, increasing their presence in the system and attacking trade convoys. While our forces are continuing to maintain order, the need to defend the system from external threats has had an impact on our overall effectiveness. With the help of Blue Creative Company we hope to curb this sudden increase in crime, and continue to concentrate our resources on combating the alien insurrection."

To counter this threat, the Blue Creative Company has placed a kill order on all ships on its wanted list, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver bounty vouchers to Akers

We've just released a new update. It comes with a few tweaks and bugfixes as well as two new devices and one new consumable. It also makes our first major expansion "Encounters" available for purchase.

• Added new device: Drone Disassembler
  
• Added new device: Target Decelerator
  
• Added new consumable: Plasma-Powered-Jump

Tweaks

• Outlaw Drone Carriers will no longer override player drones
  
• Outlaw hangars will no longer spawn ships if there are too many outlaws present already
  
• The ARC-9000 will no longer

This new breed of Pilot Escort represents a unique blend of technologies from each of the primary Alliance members, with various projects and subsystems pulled from Andorian, Lethean, and Dewan techniques. The sleek styling, tight maneuverability, and impressive arsenal of offensive capabilities of existing Andorian Escorts have informed a great deal about the core functionality of all of these vessels, as is obviously reflected in these modernized Andorian starships. Players will soon see the addition of Allied Pilot Escorts to the C-Store! These ships will be available individually, as 3-ship Faction Bundles, or as a 9-Ship Megabundle. Each of cutting-edge Escorts possesses impressive and unique capabilities, inspired by their unique lineage. Starfleet officers will gain access to the following starships: Andorian Kuthar Pilot Escort [T6] Andorian Chimesh Pilot Escort [T6] Andorian Thozyn Pilot

DefianceIndustries

continues to round out his WC1 fleet with two sharp new additions. The Raptor that was previewed

last month

has been completed, and it looks great. The fighter's colors are spot on and there are plenty of gorgeous little details like 'TCS Tiger's Claw' stenciled into the side. As a bonus, the Hornet is also finished. All the compliments for the Raptor apply here as well, and both ships are also posed at some wonderful angles. Many people have modeled the Hornet over the years, but we can always use more beautiful ships!

My WC1 addiction continues... I revised the Raptor, the old hull panels were kinda crappy so these look better. For additional fun and frolic, I made new unit insignia because... well I have too much free time?Also, a Hornet! Because the Killer Bees always get the next shift.Enjoy!

Authorities in the Geras system have confirmed that the conflict between Geras First and Ndozins State Inc has come to an end.

Both factions received support from independent combat pilots, to whom generous rewards were promised, but in the end there could be only one victor.

Independent journalist Donal Varden offered an analysis:

"After a week of furious fighting, the Geras system is now eerily quiet. Ultimately only one side could be victorious, but this uneasy peace has come at a great and dreadful cost."

Pilots who participated in the conflict can now collect their rewards from Yurchikhin Port in the Geras system.

Letter from the Chairman

Dear Citizens,

Two Hundred Million Dollars.

Wow.

The amount is the highest total for any project in the history of crowdfunding and is beyond anything I could have imagined in my wildest dreams.

While the number is impressive, that is not what sets Star Citizen and Squadron 42 apart.

The true celebration is one of how a community came together to enable a shared dream to come to life. How gamers from all over the world came together to finance one of the biggest and most ambitious projects ever embarked on. There is no publisher. No big conglomerate. This is all grassroots, funded by gamers for gamers.

To highlight just how global the support is, the person that took us past this milestone, Algared, hails from New South Wales in Australia and has been a backer since 2014. We have backers from 171 countries, from some of the smallest like San Marino or the Maldives

ODVS has another fantastic video sample to show off. After releasing his massive enhancement to WC4 and Prophecy video, he's continued to research and perfect the craft. This has produced some impressive results from the very low res WC3 footage, and even more advanced methods for manually improving video quality further have been discovered. The results from that testing have been amazing! Check out a new sample below. This one minute clip took several hours to produce, however, so ODVS is looking for feedback on how much an improvement fans think this is over the last release. Let him know what you think at the CIC Forums!

I've been experimenting with a new AI model and overall video workflow technique and I thought you all might like to see the results.

This new process is far more time consuming than the previous one. As well as the new AI model, I'm actually upscaling to 4K (2160p) then

The Empire has repeated its demand for the Federation to deport all Marlinist emigrants, as tensions increase between the two superpowers.
Hundreds of thousands of political refugees reached Federal space after fleeing to escape the Empire's hunt for Neo-Marlinist terrorists. Congress has agreed to provide sanctuary, along with offers of permanent residency.
Imperial Ambassador Imogen Luciana stated:
"Our people must be safely returned so we can identify dangerous NMLA activists, before they gain the opportunity to inflict further harm. We have no desire for the Federation to suffer the same horrific attacks."
A response was given by Federal Ambassador Jordan Rochester:
"As always, the Empire promises one thing and does another. This is not an altruistic effort to spare us from terrorists – it is a totalitarian purge of believers in democracy."
There are reports that both superpowers have

It is safe to say that 2020 was a very turbulent year, sometimes with some unpleasant surprises waiting around the corner.We are living in a difficult time and adapting to new situations sometimes can be challenging.The plans we had for Crossfire in 2020 were thrown overboard and got replaced by necessary structural changes that helped us to create a future proof foundation for Crossfire.

Research of a wormhole found in the asteroid field, that has lasted nearly a century, is finally at an end; only one last step remains.

Hello Everyone!

We hope you have been enjoying the most recent additions to the game with last week’s large update! The team here are concentrating hard on the upcoming features, but we continue to balance this with time dedicated to optimisation and ironing out issues that are important to players and to us.

This week’s update addresses a few high priority issues and introduces the Space Anomaly’s next community research mission!

Community Research Update

Specialist Polo’s research has taken a new direction this week, after their analysis of the Sentinel data yielded some surprising results. The Sentinels are tracking other anomalous signals, signals currently unknown to Nada and Polo.

They have pinpointed the location of what appears to be the echo of another Traveller-Entity. The Anomaly itself cannot travel to this location, for fear of further alerting the Sentinels. Polo asks for help in finding this

Still striving to get the greatest performance out of your equipment? This weekend will be the perfect time to apply Tech Upgrades to your gear, as we’re doubling the amount of Technology Points earned from each one applied! From Thursday, January 30th at 8AM PST to February 3rd at 10AM PST, every Tech Upgrade used will apply twice as many Technology Points toward your next Upgrade! This in turn reduces the amount of Dilithium that must be spent to reach each Upgrade threshold, allowing Captains additional chances to attain both Mark and Rarity increases on their favored load outs. .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition:

Angeli Imperial Enterprises, one of the Empire's key suppliers of foodstuffs and other consumables, has announced plans to build a Bowman-class science vessel.

The construction initiative, dubbed the Rekohu Project, will allow the organisation to increase the biodiversity of its crops. Once complete, the megaship will be deployed to the PLAA AIN Sector to research life on Earth-like worlds.

The organisation's spokesperson, Commander Blain Crighton, released the following statement:

"For a civilisation with near-limitless energy and the ability to cross the stars in the blink of an eye, how is it that we still have systems experiencing famine? The Rekohu Project is an effort to change that, and to find new ways to keep even the poorest fed."

In support of this goal, Angeli Imperial Enterprises has placed an open order for various commodities, promising to reward pilots who deliver these goods to

Hello,

I’d like to start this week’s blog post by thanking everyone, who shared their feedback in regards to our Alpha 3.1 release. With your help, we released a new client patch by the end of last week, implementing sought-after changes to insurance timers and the expedite fees. More info and the complete patch notes can be found here. Keep sharing your experience from the ‘Verse and let us know what you think in our feedback forum on Spectrum!

In the wake of last month’s backer survey, we also reworked our Roadmap. We condensed all mining-related tasks for 3.2 into one card, moved Salvaging, Refuel & Repair to 3.3, and added the top survey results for the upcoming release. While focusing on quality of life improvements and performance, we will continue to rework our roadmap as a living and breathing representation of the development process. So expect to see even more changes in the coming weeks. And
