Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan

Last week, Subscribers received their exclusive July rewards, featuring the Ship of the Month: the formidable Anvil Hornet Mk II, ready to help put an end to XenoThreat's campaign of terror in Stanton. Joining the deployment is an adorable new dashboard companion: the Emoto Dashbot.

We also released a new episode of Inside Star Citizen: Patch Report - Alpha 4.9, giving you a closer look at everything arriving later this week! There's plenty to look forward to, with dozens of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and content.

If you're looking for a steady stream of work, Recco Battaglia is offering a new set of repeatable missions featuring prospecting, mining, recovery, salvage, investigations, and ship reclamation. As you build your reputation with her, you'll unlock additional opportunities and lay the groundwork for future chapters of her story.

And steely-eyed players on the PTU may have discovered the first look at the next offering from Grey's Market when loading in. Well, you can see even more on the next episode of Behind the Ships, scheduled to release alongside Alpha 4.9.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up this week:

Tuesday brings the July 2026 Monthly Bundle, featuring a stylish collection for those who appreciate a touch of luxury, whether you're headed to a high table or into a bunker to become the next Baba Yaga.

This Wednesday, we'll publish our latest Roadmap Update. As always, you'll find the latest changes to the Release View, along with an updated look at what's currently in development and what our teams are focused on in the weeks ahead.

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.

Finally, on Saturday, we're heading to Chicago for another Bar Citizen, and we can't wait to meet many of you there! If you're in the area, join us at Mount Prospect Public House, Illinois, from 6pm. Come chat with the team, meet fellow Citizens, share stories, and enjoy an evening with the amazing community that makes Star Citizen what it is. We hope to see you there!

a.thl'ē'kol, see you soon.
