Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan​

Last week kicked off with the return of Stella Fortuna, bringing a touch of green to the ‘verse as citizens celebrated the annual festival of good fortune and thrill-seeking. From themed activities to festive flair, pilots across the system are embracing the spirit of the season until March 30.

We also delivered the latest Roadmap Update, offering a fresh look at how development is progressing toward Alpha 4.7. This update included refreshed card images, an FPS weapons art refactor, the introduction of a new Size 3 neutron weapon: the MaxOx NN-15, and the commitment to several additional features. The next Roadmap Update should bring the first details about Alpha 4.8, so stay tuned next week.

On Star Citizen Live, FPS Gameplay and Combat Q&A was on the menu as developers joined the show to answer your questions about combat design, player experience, and how FPS gameplay continues to evolve.

Finally, Patch Watch returned with a look at some of the smaller but meaningful improvements coming with Alpha 4.7. These include engineering gameplay updates, reworked radar and detection changes, improved cave scanning reliability, salvage contract improvements, and adjustments to missile balance and ship access points.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up this week:
Thursday
brings a new episode of Inside Star Citizen, where we’ll take a closer look at what’s coming in Alpha 4.7, including new features, improvements, and some of the milestones and changes shaping the next update.

This Friday, the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter lands in your inbox. If you’re not subscribed yet, you can enable it at any time through your account settings.

The community is gearing up for a busy weekend, with several Bar Citizen gatherings taking place around the world. From Stafford in the UK to celebrations across North America, including a St. Patrick’s Day meetup in California and another event in Colorado, local Citizens will have plenty of opportunities to meet up, share stories, and raise a glass together.

For those gathering in the ‘verse, the TTO community is preparing one of the biggest in-game player meetups yet, bringing together more than 500 players for a massive event! Meanwhile, racing fans can look forward to the start of the Ellis OpenGP for the Crux Cup TEC 2956, organized by Anzia Racing, promising fast ships, tight turns, and fierce competition on the track.

We’re continuing to work hard on Alpha 4.7, and we really appreciate everyone taking the time to test the latest PTU build. Your feedback helps guide the next round of improvements, so please keep sharing your feedback on Spectrum and submitting reports to the Issue Council!

a.thl'ē'kol, see you soon.
