The Calm AFTER The Storm | This Week in Star Citizen

The video reflects on a quiet week in Star Citizen, highlighting the conclusion of Invictus and upcoming scheduled events like the Squadron 42 newsletter and esports finals, describing it as a “relaxation week” between busy periods. The host anticipates more updates and insights in early June, including a monthly report and roadmap, while encouraging the community to stay engaged and enjoy the current calm before the next wave of content.

The video begins with a reflection on the current week in Star Citizen, emphasizing that it is the last week of Invictus, the ongoing event. The host highlights that there are still opportunities for players to participate in Invictus activities, such as the free fly event, which concludes on May 27th. They encourage viewers to jump in and enjoy the experience, whether they are new to the event or returning for another round. The community’s engagement and shared experiences from Invictus are also appreciated, showcasing the active involvement of the Star Citizen community.

Looking ahead, the host notes that this week is relatively quiet in terms of new updates and major releases. Since it is not the first Wednesday of the month, there is no monthly report or significant patch notes to discuss. Instead, the focus shifts to upcoming scheduled events, such as the release of the Squadron 42 newsletter on Tuesday, which will feature ships of the Squadron 42 universe. They remind viewers to stay subscribed to ensure they don’t miss this exclusive content. Additionally, the RSI newsletter is expected on Friday, and the System 7 esports finals with Atmo Esports are scheduled for Saturday.

The host describes this week as a “relaxation week,” a brief pause between the busy weeks of recent updates and events. They anticipate that next week might also be relatively calm, with a potential monthly report and roadmap updates scheduled for the 4th of June. This upcoming report is expected to include insights into the development pipeline and future plans, which fans are eager to see. The host also mentions that next week is likely to be Alien Week, with possible lore puzzles or other content, although they express skepticism about the likelihood of new alien ships being revealed due to current development priorities.

As the video progresses, the host comments on the overall quietness of the current period, noting the absence of a Star Citizen live stream this week. They express a bit of humorous regret that the quiet week coincides with their upcoming travel plans, wishing the live stream had been scheduled differently. The host jokes about the tendency to “manufacture drama” in the community, implying that even during quiet times, fans and content creators tend to generate discussion and speculation about potential updates or surprises.

In conclusion, the host reflects on the slow pace of recent weeks, acknowledging that the focus is shifting towards planning for the next major updates. They suggest that the community can look forward to upcoming announcements, including the monthly report and roadmap, which will provide more clarity on the game’s future. Despite the current lull, they remain optimistic about the ongoing development and the potential for new content in the near future, encouraging viewers to stay engaged and enjoy the quieter period before the next wave of updates.
