Happy Monday, everyone!

The frost is easing its grip, daylight is sticking around a little longer each evening, and somewhere just beyond the horizon, spring is pulling on its boots. We're not there yet, but you can smell it coming. The Red Festival is still bringing warmth and good fortune to the 'verse. Seek out auspicious offers, and don't miss your chance to pick up a Year of the Rat emblem envelope, commemorative display stand, and this year's collectible coin — all completely free. Show off your yearly findings with pride, and if you fancy making your own luck, there's still time to jump, slide, and dash your way into the community contest.

Over the weekend, we attended Enter Atmosphere 2956 in Australia, and it was truly something special. Seeing it all come together with that level of passion and creativity was unforgettable, and it meant a great deal to be back with the ANZ community after so long. Huge congratulations to ATMO esports and everyone who helped make it happen. Experiences like this reinforce what we have always known: community is everything.

And if you're wondering where we're heading next, check out the World Tour page.

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:

Origin Jumpworks is already feeling the spring vibes, and honestly, who are we to argue? They're jumpstarting the seasonal celebrations this Tuesday. So, if you've had your eye on something sleek and stylish, you might want to keep yours peeled.

Wednesday brings the latest Roadmap Update and its complementary Roadmap Roundup, keeping you up to date on what's ahead in development. Also on Wednesday, RSI is running a fleetwide 20% discount at in-game vendors across the 'verse (aUEC only). You know what to do.

Thursday's episode of Star Citizen Live sees our Audio Team take the spotlight with a Q&A, with a special focus on vehicle-related sounds. Every snap, crackle, and pop that makes your ship (and the 'verse) feel alive — it didn't happen by accident. This is your chance to ask your burning questions to the people behind the magic in the Spectrum thread. Join us on Twitch at 16:00 UTC to hear the answers.

Friday delivers the latest RSI Newsletter to your inbox with your weekly update on what's happening across the 'verse.

Fly low, and fly fast!
