It’s time for another event in Star Citizen, only this one is less about letting people try the game for free and more about selling ships: It’s Alien Week in the game, which ostensibly is about marking the time of first contact in-universe but is mostly about highlighting (and selling) alien-built vehicles.
Activities for Alien Week include a series of international Bar Citizen meet-and-greet events, a screenshot contest about alien encounters, and a promised lore post about the Banu Tholo item. The event otherwise continues to hawk ships and vehicles, both in flyable state and in-concept, along with paint jobs for existing alien craft.
On the subject of alien craft in-concept, the latest episode of Inside Star Citizen catches followers up on progress on the San’Tok.yai fighter, which failed a recent greybox check for its dashboard but has otherwise gotten most of its design approved, including its fuselage, transformation, and more. The video also catches up on the Hull-C heavy freighter, which has been on the back burner for about five years as cargo features got built up; now that those ducks are in a row, CIG is promising that things are back on track for space truckers across the ‘Verse.
