In the latest Star Citizen news, there are various event updates and more chances to obtain the F8C Lightning ship. The Spirit A1 ship is now available in the Alpha 3.21 update, but only developers can spawn it. A special event is running until October 21st, offering players the opportunity to find Platinum licenses and potentially acquire the F8C Lightning permanently. The event is available on both the live and PTU servers. Additionally, the Jumptown dynamic event is ongoing in the live build and will end on October 16th.
Citizen Con is happening next week, and tickets are available for purchase. Those who cannot attend in person can watch the event for free on the Star Citizen Twitch channel. The entire show is authorized for rebroadcast, allowing viewers to host watch parties and create content without copyright issues. The event schedule includes panels on various topics such as the future of Star Engine, engineering and resource management, ship updates, interacting with the environment, character advancement, space flight and combat, settlements and points of interest, and new missions and gameplay. There will also be ship sales and announcements, including updates on Squadron 42.
In terms of gameplay, players can participate in the Golden and Platinum license events, with the chance to obtain the F8C Lightning. The Jumptown event provides an opportunity to complete missions and earn these licenses. However, players with an unredeemed Platinum license will be hunted by others who want to obtain it. In the PTU patch, the Crusader A1 Spirit ship can be spotted, but players cannot use it. Overall, fans are excited for Citizen Con and the new content and announcements that will be revealed during the event.
