   Hey everyone, community manager Tyler Nolan here to welcome you to another episode of Citizens of the Stars where we highlight amazing content created by you, our Star Citizen backers. With that, let's hand it off to Tyler Witkin and see who he's interviewing for this week's Citizen Spotlight. Hey everyone and welcome to another installment of Citizen Spotlight where we take a moment to highlight some of the amazing people within the Star Citizen community. Now, joining us this week is someone who many of you are probably already familiar with, the legendary Joran. Joran, how are you doing? I'm doing fantastic. How are you doing? I'm doing great, thank you for asking. Now, it's no secret at all that you've made some incredible contributions when it comes to bringing Star Citizens together through Bar Citizens. So, let's start with the basics. What is a Bar

2. 00:01:14

   Citizen? Well, Bar Citizen was originally coined by Michael Morlan back around the original Kickstarter in Austin with Wingman, Kinshadow, and some other guys having meetups and they've been doing it ever since. It's grown since then to cover any gathering of Star Citizen fans from a few nerds in someone's house to dozens or hundreds at restaurants or other venues. It's not just bars. Very cool. So, what is your role when it comes to Bar Citizens? Well, last summer Great Had Gamer asked me to set up the Florida Bar Citizen and with your help and some other nerds, we had over 80 people and that got me so hyped. Friends suggested that I start the International Bar Citizen Organizers Discord channel and that brought in people from around the world who've already been having events like Chris in

   England with the British and Con, and Simela in Germany with SitCon, and a lot of people who wanted to start their own. So, I see my role as helping hype the community and bringing people together in the real world around the stream that we've all got. That's awesome. So, what does BarCitizen mean to you? BarCitizen has become my overriding passion. It's helping to bring the space nerds together all over the world. It's completely changed my life, and every time I help a new person set up their own event, and make new friends, it's just totally amazing. Awesome and well said. Lastly, how can people find out if there's a BarCitizen happening in their area? Well, we've got a website, barcitizen.sc. There's an event map, and if there isn't already an event in their area, there's

4. 00:02:52

   a link to our organizers Discord channel, and also there's a lot of local Discord channels around many states and countries where people can meet other nerds who are already having events, or they can start their own. Either myself or some of the organizers will be happy to help them, show them how to find people and set it up. And there's also the Spectrum BarCitizen chat channel where myself or some of the other organizers are helping direct people there, too. Great. Well, Jordan, thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedule and coming and talking with me. Up next, let's find out what's going on this week in Star Citizen. Hey, everybody. Welcome to Quantum

5. 00:03:49

   Questions, the part of our show where we take real life CIG developer and ask them some of your real life questions. Today we are joined by Mr. Dennis Daniels who will have to answer as many questions as he can in just 2 minutes. Let's do this thing. I am joined here today by one of the very best people in the world, Mr. Dennis Daniels. Hey Dennis, how are you today? I'm doing good. You ready to answer some quantum questions? I'm ready to beat everybody else. How many do you think you're going to get? 50. I I I would not doubt that. All right, let's do this thing. Can we have 2 minutes on the clock? And 1 2 3 go. What is your name and what do you do? Uh my name is Dennis Daniel. I'm the IT manager here at CIG Los Angeles.

6. 00:04:39

   What is your character class? My character class is explorer. I like to get out and see new things and see new worlds and destroy aliens. What about in Dungeons and Dragons? A paladin, of course. Now, what is the standard dev machine for Star Citizen? Uh standard dev machine is a 6-core i7 running about 32 to 64 gigs of RAM, SSD, and we're trying to get as many new 1080 Nvidia cards that we can in there to make everything nice and smooth. How do the different dev studios stay in contact? Um through telepathy. Are we going to get a Prospector-style ship for the repair profession? Uh maybe. Um I've seen some stuff

7. 00:05:28

   drafted up, but I'll go talk to the guys and see what I can kick them in the gear and get them to do. If you just landed your ship on a planet and got out of it and the first thing you saw was one of those flying spiders, would you fight it, tame it, or just escape? I'd run over it. Favorite operating system? Windows 10. What's the strangest peripheral we've tested Star Citizen with? Uh the strangest peripheral that we tested Star Citizen with was a Russian HOTAS controller that was pretty bizarre. Had a lot of Russian characters on it, but uh it actually worked pretty good. Best fast food burger? Is the Carl's Jr. Western bacon cheeseburger. Give us a Duke Nukem quote. I'm all out of bubble gum.

8. 00:06:17

   What is 84 divided by two? 42. What will be the biggest ship we can buy in the game? Isn't it Tiger's Claw? When will the Aegis Redeemer get a rework? Out of time. Oh. There we go. Absolutely perfect. Telepathy how I got I guess we're going to give him that one. That is 13 for Dennis, which is not quite a record, but still pretty good. Anyway, um we will see you next week on Quantum Questions. It will No. No. No, that was good. All right. All right. Hello everyone and welcome to Sub

   Conscious, the mini show that lets you know what's going on with the Star Citizen subscription program. I'm Alexis and I'm here with some news that I think you'll find more than flare. I know that you've all been patiently waiting to hear about the next series of hanger flare. And today I'm excited to announce that it is, wait for it, tiny holographic space stations. That's right, true believers. Starting this Friday, you'll find a special holo table in your hanger. No, it's not that kind of holo table. This one will display holographic models of space stations from the Star Citizen universe. The The model is one you're all familiar with, the ICC probe from the Stanton system. And future updates will share some of the cool installations that we have in the works. What kind of space stations would you like to see added in the future? Deep space truck stops, orbital artillery sites, Lagrange point transfer stations, those round ones that are in every 1950s

10. 00:07:58

    sci-fi movie? You can let me know in the subscribers den and I will pass your suggestions along to the team. And while we're talking about flair, remember that the special Big Benny's machine item will be attributed on Monday of next week. So please make sure you have an active subscription by then if you want to have one in your hangar. You can also look forward to another great issue of Jump Point and a soon-to-be revealed subscriber town hall later this month. We'll have more details next week and until then, I'll see you in the den. Everybody, community manager Jared Huckaby here with this week's top five and MVP. Let's get to it. Number five. This week was April Fools and while we didn't have a gag this year here at CIG, our friends at Newegg came through in spectacular style with the

11. 00:08:44

    world's first nine-screen laptop featuring Star Citizen. I didn't know I needed a G-Sync caps lock and num lock before this, but now I can't imagine going through life without them. So good job, Newegg. Number four. The release of Star Citizen 2.6.2 brought a number of features to Star Citizen, but my favorite was the return of TrackIR support. If you've never played a driving, flight, or space sim without TrackIR, I personally recommend you check it out. It opens up a whole 'nother level of immersion when flying through the cosmos. Number three. The Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous subreddits for immortalizing both games in last week's r/place project. Members from both subreddits banded together to not only add the two logos to the patchwork digital quilt, but defend it from hostile takeovers until the project was locked. It was a

12. 00:09:32

    delightful show of teamwork and camaraderie that shows the power of space sims in today's modern gaming world. Number two, the next great ship commercial. A fan organized riff on our own next great starship competition, Slayer TNT and others came together to start their very own reality based competition to find the next great ship commercial. The first episode is online now and I look forward to seeing who wins. And finally, number one in this week's MVP goes to the starcitizen.it Italian community for organizing a special event in Italy at Modena Play where they set up eight high performance gaming rigs, held daily tournaments, and introduced Star Citizen to more than 900 visitors that weekend. So, congratulations Nefer and gang, you're this week's MVP. Back to you, Tyler. Well, that's all for this week's show. A
