Esteemed Chairman's Club Member,

As we push full steam ahead on Squadron 42 and Star Citizen 1.0, we’re making some moves—literally!

As shared in a previous Letter from the Chairman, we’re taking steps to make sure our developers are right where they need to be for the final stretch, which means moving key staff to be closer to their teams and counterparts in other studios. That also means we’re saying a bittersweet goodbye to our Los Angeles studio.

To celebrate everything our LA studio brought to the project, we're gifting all members of the Chairman’s Club a special piece of our history: an in-game replica of the Constellation artwork that hung above Chris Roberts' desk for so many years.

It’s a way to honor the office, but also your

Happy New Year everyone!

Just a quick note to share some updates: Today, the team rolled out a corrective script to repair many accounts affected by a variant of the "shard locked" issue (commonly seen as error 60030). With this rollout, a large number of accounts have been restored through a repair and cleanup process and should now be able to play.

This, along with a few recently deployed fixes, should help prevent additional accounts from encountering this one too.

We’re also continuing to work on resolving other variants of this issue that are still affecting others, as well as addressing various gameplay-related issues in the 4.0 Preview environment.

The team is back and focused on getting things in good shape as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and support, and we'll keep you updated as we have more to share.
