Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan

Over the last week, the ’verse has been busy on all fronts, from high-speed racing on Daymar to the first Inside Star Citizen of the year, alongside fresh updates as we step into 2026.

We kicked off our first show of the year with Inside Star Citizen: Alpha 4.6 Patch Report, giving a first look at what’s coming in Alpha 4.6: Lifeline for Levski, including a growing threat spreading through Levski.

We shared the first Monthly Report of 2026 as well, reflecting on the final two months of 2025 as teams wrapped features and continued progress on Alpha 4.5, 4.6, and beyond. We’ll be back soon with January’s report and a look at how development kicked off this year.

This past Saturday, the Daymar Rally once again pushed crews to their limits with a brutal 510 km run across Crusader’s moon. With 754 competitors, more than 2,400 vehicles mobilized, and participants from 38 countries, it was an incredible display of endurance and teamwork. Huge congratulations to everyone involved, whether you were racing, running security, handling logistics, or supporting behind the scenes. You proved what it takes to tackle the filthiest race in the ’verse, and every kilometer earned was hard-fought. If you missed it, you can catch the replay on Twitch, with official results and more content coming soon from ATMO Esports.

Speaking of ATMO Esports, Enter ATMOSPHERE 2956 lands in Sydney, Australia on February 21, 2026. This full-day event brings the Star Citizen community together with ship racing, dogfighting showcases, meet-and-greets, and time together in person. It’s our first return to Australia in 10 years, and we can’t wait to meet the Australia and New Zealand community face to face.

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

On Wednesday, Alpha 4.6: Lifeline for Levski will make its grand entrance on the LIVE servers! Get ready for new adventures and features with the Clearing the Air event, a wide range of improvements across ships, weapons, and professions, the Light Amplification System, VR updates, ground vehicle missile balance changes, plenty of bug fixes, and more… plus a brand-new Behind the Ships episode! Another Greek god?

As usual, we’ll also have the full Patch Notes, a catch-all thread, and an FAQ to keep you in the loop on everything included. The Roadmap Update will follow shortly after the build goes live, with new cards for Alpha 4.6 and 4.7.

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.

Sign-ups will also open for new races from Anzia Racing: Crux Cup TEC 2956, Crux Cup 24H (which I’ll be joining again this year!), and the new Koa e Kue’xyiing 2956 race. Is it race day yet?!

And finally, on Saturday, the community is hosting two Bar Citizens: Bordeaux (France) and Euless, Texas (USA). If you can make it, go say hi and have fun with fellow citizens!

a.thl'ē'kol, see you soon.
