Development News – what have the devs said this week?

  1. Beta 2 is coming. Stephen has said they’re taking a snapshot of the database on April the 30th. This snapshot will be the basis for Beta 2, so you’ll if you want to own a fleet carrier, you have until then to get your 5 to 7 billion. 😉
  2. People suspect that the beta will start in the second week in May.

  1. Operation IDA – The station repair guys are working on Guidoni Enterprise in HIP 9599.

  4. Hey Lave Radio. Long term commander Kinetis here from the UK. Although not ED related it would be great if I could share my daughter’s fundraising page on the Lave Radio Facebook group for the NHS and other social media feeds. I’ve tried to get Remlok sponsorship but waiting for the subspace communication to come back 😂. The page is www.justgiving.com/hairthatcares o7 Commanders!
  5. God Help us all, The HCS Voice pack of Cecil has been updated to work with singularity in voice attack. So if you want gin related help while flying your ship then goto https://www.hcsvoicepacks.com/collections/voice-packs/products/cecil-performed-by-david-pearson and remember all proceeds goto Special Effect.

Main discussion

  1. Completed Beta – impressions.

Community Corner

  1. Deep Space Support Array
    1.  The DSSA is a project to deploy a network of support Carriers all over the galaxy to help explorers in their deep space travels; roughly one Carrier per galactic region (plus a few more on the Z axis around the galactic centre). Those Carriers, offered by individuals, groups, factions or squadrons, would remain in a fixed and public location for at the very least a full year, open to all, with at least refuel and repair services, at the lowest price (other services are at the owner’s liberty). Beacons in the profound night, they would form a mesh of safe harbours for anyone who would need a rest stop.
    2. A small team of Sagittarius Eye members have launched Cosmonaut, a free monthly online magazine for Star Citizen: https://cosmonautmagazine.com/. Issue 1 went live on April 12th. We’re this week’s featured creator on the CIG newsletter: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/citizens/17560-This-Week-In-Star-Citizen
