Hello everyone,

Valentine’s Day is but a sweet memory, yet after celebrating all weekend long with community-made Valentines and limited-time ship offers, you still have until 11:59pm PST today to pick up Anvil’s limited-edition Hornet F7C-M Heartseeker. The ‘Be my Valentines’ greeting card contest is over and we’d like to thank everyone who shared their love (and cards) across the ‘verse. It was tough as always to select the winning entries and we can only recommend checking out all the fantastic cards the community created over the past few days.

Last week we sent out the latest information on the continuing development of Squadron 42, collected from each of our studios around the globe. Check your inbox if you haven’t read the report yet and make sure you’re subscribed to the SQ42 newsletter to ensure you don’t miss any future news.

Scire,

I’m in desperate need of your expertise.

Since we last crossed paths, I’ve been laying low. Was even earning an honest day’s wage until an old connect tracked me down in Stanton. They offered me a security gig at a secluded “trading” outpost on Yela and the pay was too sweet to pass up. Since the outpost was remotely operated, they wanted me on site to make sure everyone behaved themselves. I knew from rep that they’d become serious players from the days when we’d been running together, but the straight life wasn’t exactly the most comfortable, so against my better judgement I took the gig.

Everything went smoothly until an uptick in activity brought extra scrutiny to the place. Soon bounty hunters and other damn do-gooders started sitting on the place, looking to earn a few creds or make a name for

Hello everyone,

We hope you all had a great weekend! As we head into another week, the team has been heads down, focusing on the imminent release of Alpha 3.5 to the Evocati. We’re excited to unleash our cadre of community testers on the new Flight Model (among other new additions) and to begin gathering feedback.

Writer’s Note: Brothers In Arms: Part Two was published originally in Jump Point 3.6. Read Part One here.

Gavin left Walt on Cassel. There was a time, back in his single days, when an extended stay on a resort world was the perfect sequel to a crappy job. Now he had a better offer waiting at home and two bottles of chilled Kōen Shōchū riding shotgun in the cockpit beside him. The better offer, of course, was Dell. The shōchū was his best hope to reboot his homecoming from Oberon.

It wasn’t exactly the grand entrance he’d planned on making. He felt his cheeks warm and was glad to be alone. With a sigh, he squeezed his eyes shut and let his head fall back into his seat. His helmet bumped against the cockpit frame. When he opened his eyes again, the HUD had died. He rolled his head to eye the waiting bottles of shōchū. Perhaps he needed the alcohol more than she did.

Rhedd Alert’s hangar was still.

Q&A: ARGO SRV

Following the launch of the SRV from Argo Astronautics, we took your community-voted questions to our designers to give you more information on the recently unveiled single-pilot standard recovery vehicle.

The ARGO SRV depicted in the image is carrying an unknown-sized cargo container. Please elaborate more on this cargo-carrying function. Is the SRV envisioned as one of the tools used to load/unload the larger HULL series ships?

One of the key design goals for this ship was to enable it to carry cargo around. Unloading larger cargo ships, such as the Hull series, is a perfect use of the SRV.

This is not explicitly stated in the documentation, but the ARGO SRV has a Quantum Drive and a Jump Drive. Can the SRV tow a ship in Quantum Travel? Can the SRV use a Jump Point when towing another ship?

The ARGO SRV can Quantum Travel while towing.

Hello everyone,

Last week, we published the Q&A for the ARGO SRV, answering the top questions voted on by the community. Can the SRV tow asteroids? Can a person in a space suit be towed? Find the answers to those questions and more detailed info on Argo Astronautics’ latest addition to their roster right here.

Our recent Around The Verse revealed a glimpse of the soon to come city planet ArcCorp, the versatile Reliant variants, but also featured a first look at the planned improvements for gimbaled weapons. What is your flavor? Do you trust the gimbals or do you prefer a fixed setup? Let us know in the comments!

Quote from Star Citizen News-Bot

This Galactic Guide originally appeared in Jump Point 5.1.

After centuries of cold war and tense diplomacy with the Xi’an empire, there are few places where interspecies relations have thawed more than in the Yā’mon system. This former no man’s land has, in recent times, transformed into a symbol of cooperation and new hope for all who desire lasting peace between our species.

Humanity’s first view of the system came from Teesa Morrison’s flight footage as she traversed the Baker-Yā’mon jump point in 2531. What started as an exuberant accounting of her initial findings of a main sequence class F star, anchoring four planets, turned into sheer panic when she ran into a Xi’an military unit escorting a mining team to the belt. Familiar with the Xi’an from the press coverage of the Pallas incident the year prior, Morrison and her crew fled immediately. The Xi’an military ships followed

The Star Marine Community

Unless you’ve been living on the edge of the frontier, there’s no doubt that you’re at least familiar with Star Marine. InterDimension Software’s red-hot ground combat simulation game has been tearing up sim pods across the empire. Since its release, countless appearances have made James Romanov the go-to face of the ‘realism in gaming’ debate, while technical mastermind James Vandyke has been declared the ‘Next Gaming God’ by Hitbox magazine. While the release has had its fair share of detractors, with complaints ranging from ethical questions about whether it’s appropriate to let players assume the role of outlaws in the Walzer Massacre to a recent spate of illegal hacks, the game has still managed to garner an impressively loyal community who’ve embraced Star Marine, flaws and all.

February’s roundup starts with the AI Team, who made improvements to the existing character collision avoidance system. The changes began with adjustments to the smooth locomotion path, with the data now coming from the collision avoidance calculation to make sure the character has enough free space.

Time was spent generalizing the options a vendor can use so that designers no longer have to write them into the behaviors. Instead, the correct options are automatically selected based on the environment and (eventually)
