This Week in Star Citizen - April 6, 2026

Happy Monday, everyone!

We hope you enjoyed all the buzz around Triggerfish last Wednesday! If you missed the big reveal, you can catch MISC’s latest plans in our newest Behind the Ships episode. And if you didn’t notice what day it was… well, sorry - we know that can sting.

Last week also saw the release of our latest PU Monthly Report, where you can catch all the latest from our teams around the globe.

And finally, we just wrapped up our latest Evocati Tech Preview playtest, this one taking the Transport System for a spin. More playtests to come, and in the meantime, we want to give a huge thanks to everyone who jumped in, pushed all the buttons, and helped us test how things behave in the ‘verse!

Now, let's see what's going on this week:

Tuesday sees the Subscriber Comm-Link and Newsletter land with fresh flair for our Subscribers.

Wednesday, it's time to get busy. One could say, like a bee. Captains of Industry launches, and alongside it, the real MISC Hull B. We've got a Behind The Ships and a Q&A to get you acquainted before you take the controls.

Important note: the live servers are going down for scheduled maintenance on Wednesday at 11:00 UTC, with up to 6 hours of downtime. Make sure you've logged out of the game and closed the launcher completely before then. Once servers are back up, open the launcher fresh before logging in. We'll keep you posted on progress via the RSI Status Tracker.

The Roadmap Update and Roadmap Roundup also land in the evening for those who like to follow what's coming down the line.

And lastly for Wednesday, we're teaming up with our friends at CLX Gaming to launch a month-long PC giveaway, with plenty of ways to enter. If you’re planning to visit our Star Citizen booth at LVL UP EXPO in Las Vegas from April 24 through 26, you’ll be able to earn a hefty amount of bonus entries just for stopping by, with even more up for grabs if you come in cosplay. You can find the full details about LVL UP in our recent Comm-Link, and we’ll be sharing more information about the PC giveaway very soon.

On Thursday, the Captains of Industry Free Fly kicks off. From April 9 to 20, try out some of the most sought-after specialist cargo ships on the market and find out if the hauling life chose you. The event is open to anyone with a Star Citizen account, so if you’re looking to expand your crew, there should be plenty of new recruits in the 'verse!

Friday closes the week with the RSI Weekly Newsletter landing in your inbox. A little something to read between hauls.

Fly low, and fly fast!

Bar(becue) Citizen 2956

by Cucobr

What could be better than barbecue, great company, and talking about Star Citizen?

That’s exactly what was in mind with Shadow Guardians’ first meetup. More than 20 people from all over Brazil gathered to finally meet the voices behind the names. It was an afternoon full of fun and great camaraderie.
