In Case You Missed It…

Star Citizen puts out an announcement at the start of every week to let us know what is happening.

I am obviously late this week but what I would like to provide here is a wrap up of everything from the newsletter to the Youtube videos.

Check out the full version of the This Week in Star Citizen 10 Aug 2020

On Tuesday, they kicked off the week with a Portfolio from the lore team on the Rust Society.

This Wednesday, Subscribers received the monthly Promotions Comm-Link, as well as the Subscriber newsletter.

Thursday was another episode of Inside Star Citizen.

If you want the condensed version, I highly recommend checking out TheNOOBIFIER1337 where he does a 1 min 28 sec version.

Finishing up the week… Star Citizen has a live broadcast on Twitch and this week, members of the VFX Team showcased some of their work. Check out the recorded version here on YouTube Star Citizen Live. And of course, check out NOOB’s 2 min 18 sec version.

See you in the Verse!

Star Citizen Patch Notes Update

Star Citizen Alpha 3.10.1d PTU.5855172 Patch Notes are out!

For the full version of the patch notes; check out the Patch Notes Link.

My Top Three Takeaways:

1- The buy UI should no longer become not selectable after selecting an item that the player can’t afford.

2- Hangar doors should no longer remain closed when a landing pad is assigned.

3- Players should no longer get teleported to a no trespassing zone when their ship is impounded at rest stops.

Salty or Not; Star Citizen continues to make improvements which will inevitably launch the game to end all games. 😉

See You In The Verse — WEEOO!

Interview with Pico

Welcome Everyone this is Girl-In-Pigtails and today we have a special guest interview with the famous Pico the Penguin of Star Citizen. For those of you who don’t know … Pico the Penguin, adorable ambassador to New Babbage, loves carving powder on the snowy slopes of microTech and warming hearts across the galaxy.

GiP: Thank you Pico for joining us today, we are excited to chat with you. How have the slopes been?

Pico: Thank you for having me Pigtails. (laughs) the slopes have been knarley. It’s a good time of year on the powder.

GiP: So, Pico you have recently seen an increase in popularity… how did you become so viral?

Pico: It was quite by accident. I found myself in the throws of a series of viral tweets after killing the dreaded pirate RedLir… The funny thing is, I did not even kill him, that Muppet ran into an asteroid and killed himself. But you know how the rumor mill goes.

GiP: Speaking of RedLir and the WEEOO Nation, what are your thoughts on Gary?

Pico: I have total respect for Gary, not sure why all the salt. Maybe it is because of the RedLir incident, but peace & love man.

GiP: (laughs) you sound like you have a heart of gold… you also have a charity event going on right?

Pico: Absolutely, microtech has created a plushy of me with my snow board, and are selling it at NBIS. The proceeds are going to “Save the Space Whales Foundation.”

GiP: That is amazing, I heard the space whales are endangered. I hope your plushy raises much needed money. So, I have a few fan questions here: Pico, what is your favorite color?

Pico: Blue, of course.

GiP: What is your favorite food at NB?

Pico: I got to go with Whammer’s Veggie Wham with extra cheese.

GiP: Final question, what is your favorite ship?

Pico: That is a hard question but I think I will have to pick the Prowler because it’s a drop ship… and I love to drop onto the slops. A little know fact my mother’s uncle’s sister’s niece’s husband is a Tevarin. Gotta keep the bird word in the family!

GiP: Again, thank you for taking the time to talk with us. Can’t wait to see what other adventures you have in the future. Maybe a Pico/Gary snowboard session?

Pico: Absolutely, but Gary seems a little uncoordinated. Maybe some kiddie slopes first.

GiP: Thank you for joining me Pico; hope to see you on the slopes.

What is Pigtails Drinking?

As most of you may know, I love my wine! I recently found one that I would like to share with you guys…

Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon is a California wine Blended and Bottle by Joseph Carr in Hopland. This wine is amazing with a rich sense of blackberry and cherry flavors and have accents of spices and toasted oak. It has a bold punch with a smooth finish. I usually pair my wine with desserts or a pasta dinner but this wine is so good; it doesn’t need a co-star!

Happy Friday Everyone!
Cheers…

8 – Bit Salute Charity Drive

Tonight (June 11, 2020) @ 10 PM EST the CarbonTails team is doing a charity stream for OSD with the 76 Operators Team! Please join us for all of our antics, fun, and support of the troops! See the donation link below:

OSD (Outperform, Serve, and Deploy) Charity Drive

Though I met TheQue after his service in the US Army, he has talked about his time in service with reverence; the support the troops packages that he personally received is something he has often talked about. Though the scope of OSD is not limited to care packages for the troops, it is a fundamentally important task. Our men and women who are serving overseas are doing so at a young age in general and often it is their first time away from home and their families. These courageous men and women all volunteered to serve their country, and upon entering service they do not get to choose where they are deployed or for how long. They are often scared and alone, aside from the brothers and sisters in arms next to them. Care packages are vital to their moral and mental health; letting them know we are thinking of them at home and that we do care about their wellbeing.

Please join us at the CarbonTails Twitch channel in supporting our troops. This is not support of any political agenda or any specific engagement the US is actively engaged in. This is to support the men and women, who do not have a choice as to where they are sent, of our Armed Forces. These brave men and women need to know their sacrifices are noted and appreciated, regardless of any given administration or conflict they may be under.

As a sign of our commitment to this cause, the CarbonTails team will be matching all donations up to $1000 using the funds so graciously donated to our streaming channel in the month of June.

OSD (Outperform, Serve, and Deploy) Charity Drive
