Q&A: Origin 100 Series Part II
Following the launch of the Origin 100 series, we collected your questions in an effort to provide more information on the brand-new starter ship from Origin Jumpworks.
If you missed part I, you can read the answers here, and the Origin 100 Series promotional page here.
Special thanks to John Crewe, Corentin Billemont, and Todd Papy for their help with answering your top-voted questions.
With the 100 series now filling the “Origin starter” slot, will the role of the 300 series be impacted?
Yes. When the 300 series will get its rework completed, it will fill both a higher tier place in the ship hierarchy, and have its current roles more defined and focused. The 100 series is a great entry point for what the 300 series will become in a future release.

…Monthly Studio Report: April 2018
Welcome to Cloud Imperium Games’ Monthly Studio Report for April, bringing you insight into what all of our studios have been working on. This month, the team delivered multiple updates to Alpha 3.1, made advancements on a variety of new systems and features, like scanning and mining, and continued development on Squadron 42.

VEHICLE FEATURES
The team focused on two major priorities in April: one was the scanning feature, which is making good progress. The focus has been on the code-side that will be used throughout Star Citizen, including for Mining and in Squadron 42. The other priority was Object Container Streaming development, as it relates to making vehicles thread safe. This is one step toward a larger goal being worked on across the company — to provide a significant performance increase in

When the chips are down, your number’s up, and the odds are stacked against you, nothing levels the playing field like Kastak Arms’ Devastator semi-automatic shotgun. Now available with this exclusive ICC Voyager finish, the Devastator will have you clearing rooms with impeccable style and remorseless brutality. Its high-impact plasma blasts are ideal for unleashing close-range bedlam, and it’s also an adept intimidation tool – even the most desperate outlaws tend to be a lot more reasonable, staring down the barrel of a Devastator.

…Each week we’ll roll out a new reward for the Featured Episode “Scylla and Charybdis.” The first completion of this mission on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward Box. This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box, which gives the character who opens it a Specialization Point. The Weekly Reward Box, Tech Upgrade, and Specialization Point Box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point Box requires the opening character to be level 50 or above.

Here's their description: This week we Trek Out some new science in the form of Holograms!! — well, sorta! More actors express interest in a Tarantino Star Trek Film, Snoop Dogg is a trekizzy, and Discovery continues to break records.

…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, February 8th at 9AM PST to February 12th 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(http://images-cdn.perfectworld…157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s;
