Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan

Coramor arrived last week, bringing a little extra love to the 'verse through February 23. You can also jump in with our latest Referral Bonus and Free Fly, making it a great time to invite a friend and share the adventure. And if you are feeling especially inspired, we want to hear about it in our Coramor contest, Love, Actually: Stories of the ’Verse!

We welcomed Argo’s latest industrial ship with salvage arms wide open: the MOTH, designed to bridge the gap between small and large-scale salvage operations. Alongside its release, we published a new Behind the Ships piece that dives into the technical details, a Q&A covering the most common questions, and a fresh trailer to round it all out.

The teams introduced a new set of Industrial missions designed to give industrial-focused players more freedom, more variety, and more reasons to explore. So make sure to give it a go, and approach the tasks at hand your own way!

We also published our latest Roadmap Update, unveiling new armor sets coming in Alpha 4.7, including gear for a new Nyx faction and their outfits, the Claw Salamanders. The Progress Tracker received an update, highlighting recent work on Crafting, Inventory, Vehicle Command Module, FPS Radar and Scanning, Instancing, and Ship Hangar Landing Service!

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

On Tuesday, we celebrate the Red Festival and the arrival of the Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Rat in 2956. Expect themed festivities as we mark the occasion across the ‘verse!

Then on Thursday, Star Citizen Live returns with a focused deep dive into Industrial gameplay and non-combat professions. Thorsten, Lead Systems Designer, and Elliot, Lead Mission Designer, will join us to talk through the broader vision behind industrial systems, how they are progressing, and what is new with the Industrial Missions introduced in Alpha 4.6. Tune in on February 19 at 15:00 UTC on Twitch. We're looking to answer your questions, so be sure to share them in the dedicated thread on Spectrum.

Later this week, Evocati will get their hands on a new Tech Preview focused on the Inventory Rework and Crafting, so keep an eye out for that!

This Friday, don’t forget that the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter lands in your inbox. If you’re not subscribed yet, you can enable it at any time through your account settings.

Last but not least, Enter ATMOSPHERE 2956 lands in Sydney on Saturday, February 21, 2026, bringing the Australia and New Zealand community together for a full day hosted by ATMO Esports - featuring high-speed ship racing, dogfighting showcases, meet-and-greets, and plenty of time to connect in person. It’s been 10 years since the team last visited Australia; Chris, Sandi, and Zyloh can’t wait to be back celebrating with you in person this weekend.
