Hello everyone,
Last week, we dropped a big Roadmap Update, giving you the first look at 11 new cards tentatively planned for Alpha 4.11, including Nyx I, Starchitect, Planet Tech v5, new weapons, and more. If you haven’t already, check out the Release View for the full list of what’s currently in the works.
Thank you to everyone who has jumped into the Alpha 4.10 PTU with us recently. We’re eager to get this one onto the Live servers, and your participation has been tremendously helpful as we work through the remaining issues.
Keep an eye on Spectrum, as we intend to host a few focused stress tests this week to shore things up ahead of the Live release. We’ve intentionally held this patch back to give the team more time to address key issues and improve performance, with the goal of delivering a noticeably smoother experience when it arrives and building on that progress with each patch that follows.
And finally, a huge thank-you to everyone who joined us at Bar Citizen Denver over the weekend! The team had an incredible time connecting with so many of you and sampling Quantum Rye, a custom brew crafted specifically for the event (it was amazing!).
Next up, we’re crossing the Atlantic for gamescom in Cologne, Germany, on August 28. We can’t wait to reconnect with familiar faces, make new friends, and raise another glass with you!
This week:
Ship Showdown Phase 2 kicks off tomorrow, on Tuesday!
You rallied behind your favorites by sharing hundreds of fantastic creations during Phase 1, and now the Top 16 are ready to go head-to-head. From August 18 through September 2, two ships will face off each day, and it will be up to you to decide who moves forward in the bracket. Rally your crew, campaign for your pick, and make sure to cast your votes to earn an exclusive Spectrum badge along the way. Sixteen enter, but only one will take the crown!
On Wednesday, we're tentatively planning the start of some focused stress tests. Keep an eye on Spectrum for more information soon!
On Friday, the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter also lands in your inbox. If you’re not subscribed yet, you can sign up at any time through your account settings.
