Die Gamescom ist da!!!
Getting Ready for Gamescom
Aug 18, 2017
Greetings Citizen,
The Star Citizen development team was firing on all cylinders this week, as work for 3.0 continued and preparations for Gamescom intensified. Everyone’s looking forward to showing off what we’ve been working on for our presentation at the Gloria Theater on Friday, 7 PM UTC. We’re also excited to spend time with fans on the Gamescom show floor. If you’re attending, be sure to swing by our booth, as we’ll be passing out special collectables that you won’t want to miss.
Finally, just a reminder that with Gamescom next week there won’t be our regularly scheduled episode of Around the Verse. Instead, there will still be a standalone “Burndown” segment tracking the progress of 3.0. We’ll also be streaming live from the Gamecom floor Wednesday through Saturday. Further specifics can be found below.
Sincerely,
The Star Citizen Team
Small Holoviewer
Our new secondary viewport tech makes realistic holograms possible in the Star Citizen. This week’s sneak peek highlights this by showing off a small device projecting a space station hologram above a desk filled with some handy reference material.
Gamescom Show Floor
Next week, the Star Citizen team takes to the GamesCom show floor in Hall 9, A-051, but you don’t have to be in Cologne, Germany, to join us! Some of our favorite streamers and CIG developers will be streaming directly from our booth. Get all the details here.
Around the Verse
Surface outposts are the focus of this week’s episode, as we explore all the details that go into crafting a memorable destination. Plus, hosts Sandi Gardiner and Forrest Stephan bring you another installment of “Burndown.” Catch it all right here.
Citizens of the Stars
Spencer Johnson tries to unseat Mike Jones as the Quantum Questions champ, and Jimi Croker joins the Citizen Spotlight to discuss podcasting and his radio serial Quantum Drive. Catch the show and this week’s MVP and Top 5 here.
Bugsmashers
Watch Mark Abent deal with a devious bug that infected most of our ships. See how adding a few lines of code to the flight controller can make all the difference. Get all the details on what went down by watching the show here.
Collision Course: Part 2
The normal weekly News Update will be taking a brief hiatus in order to bring you a special multi-part adventure. In part two of Collision Course, we meet Radu Ghazi, a reluctant outlaw, who's forced to take a new job. Find out what happens here.

August’s Jump Point is jam packed. See how the Tumbril Cyclone came together with a WIP article. Then read new lore about Tumbril and Crusader’s moons. Plus, the first chapter in our new serialized story A Gift for Baba, featuring original art.

Just Another Grim HEX Story
Blackbeart does not like stranger gangs in the space around Grim Hex. So he takes out the big guns and blow them away!
