This Week in Star Citizen 03/04/2024 - 1:00 PM
Happy Monday, everyone! Last week, we opened the doors to the Evocati for a series of initial Server Meshing trials, and we're happy to report that it was a success. The playtest involved full-scale static meshing, with one server dedicated to Pyro and another to Stanton, both seamlessly navigating through the replication layer to the same shard.
During the 5-hour playtest, we encountered only one server crash, and despite a hiccup on the Pyro side of the shard, Stanton, which was running on the same shard, continued seamlessly without any disruptions. Even more encouraging was the swift recovery, as Pyro bounced back in just over 2 minutes.
This week, we're aiming to take another big step forward by opening the Jump Gates between systems for the first time.
We want to take a moment to thank everyone for participating and, just generally, for all the support you have shown us over the years. 2024 is shaping up to be really special, and we couldn't have come this far without each and every one of you.
We'll see you on the other side.
We are also surfing the good vibes into this week after meeting so many of you this weekend at Bar Citizen Manchester! Nearly 200 of you came to hang out with devs, org mates, and good friends. Thanks to everyone for stopping by, we can't wait to do it again soon!
In other news, Jumptown has begun "pharmaceutical" production once again! Keep an eye out for a Priority mission in your mobiGlas, and get your crew ready. That Maze isn't gonna sell itself. Don't forget to close your ramps, and watch the skies for incoming ordnance!
Now, let's see what's going on this week:
This Tuesday, Subscribers will receive March's updates in both Comm-Link and Newsletter form.
