Happy Monday, everyone!
Last week saw the culmination of the biggest throwdown yet in the clash for aerospace supremacy. Ship Showdown 2956 has its Undisputed Champion of the 'Verse, and it's the RSI Perseus! The gunship ended one more battle in the final, taking down the Drake Ironclad Assault after a fight the crowds are still talking about. [Note to self: rough week to be a Drake girl.] The Origin M80 and the Drake Corsair round out this year's Final Four, due to receive Best In Show honors at this year's Intergalactic Aerospace Expo. You can relive every round at the Ship Showdown hub.
Subscribers also received their exclusive September perks, featuring the Vehicle of the Month ahead: the MISC Freelancer MAX, a long-range hauler built for the dangers of deep-space delivery. Coming along for the ride are decorative display cases for collectors to showcase their loot.
We also published the August PU Monthly Report, with a look at what the dev teams tackled last month, from work that fed into Alpha 4.10: Siege of Orison to what's cooking further down the line.
Lastly, a huge thank you to everyone who came out to the PAX West Bar Citizen in Seattle last Friday. We loved reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new pilots along the way. The Bar Citizen World Tour rolls on, with our next stop in Milan, Italy, on September 19. We hope to see you there!
