Happy Monday, everyone!
Last week, the crafting and inventory teams joined us on Star Citizen Live, diving into your questions, what's already in your hands, and what's still on the way. If you missed it, the VOD is up on YouTube. We also saw the release of the April Monthly Bundle on Tuesday.
This week, Alpha 4.7.2 continues the expansion of the Nyx System following the introduction of QV Breaker Stations and social hubs in 4.7. Nearly 100 new contracts are coming online across 13 archetypes, including the return of entry-level favorites like 'Courier' and 'Delivery Pilot' for anyone looking to get their start in transport. Some of these contracts also introduce new gameplay opportunities to Nyx, with select missions offering unique blueprint rewards.
Looking ahead, Evocati testing for Alpha 4.8 is right around the corner. If all goes to plan, Wave 1 could open before the end of the week, with additional waves following shortly after. We're also preparing a new Tech Preview build featuring Instancing in the coming days.
Now, let's see what's going on this week:
Wednesday will see Alpha 4.7.2 arriving with a host of new contracts and returning favorites for the Nyx System.
Wednesday also brings the Roadmap Update and Roadmap Roundup, your regular window into where development stands and what's on the horizon.
Friday will have the latest RSI Newsletter zip into your inbox with your weekly hit of what's happening across the 'verse. And Subscribers, your Jump Point April issue will be headed your way on May 2.
This weekend, April 24 through 26, we're heading to LVL UP EXPO at the Las Vegas Convention Center with AMD and CLX Gaming. We'll have a Star Citizen booth on the show floor, with members of the dev team on hand all weekend to meet, chat, and get you in-game.
Across all three days, you can jump into Vanduul Swarm at stations set up with awesome hardware from both Virpil and Tobii, check out the custom CLX Gaming PC being given away, and take part in absolutely no shortage of giveaways. Be sure to stop by the booth to earn extra entries for the PC, with even more available if you show up in cosplay. We'll also be hosting a Bar Citizen as part of the official LVL UP EXPO afterparty on Saturday night, so grab your tickets and we'll see you all there!
On the other side of the Atlantic, the Danish community has organized and is hosting a booth at Gamebox Festival in Herning this weekend, with plenty to check out, followed by a Bar Citizen on Saturday. We'll have a few team members dropping in to spend some time with everyone, and we hope to see you there!
Fly low, and fly fast!
