Welcome to the May Newsletter! We finally had 3.17 released early in the month which resulted in a boost in activity for us on Discord and the game. We started off the month strong with a lot of impromptu mining events making sure everyone started off strong financially but as most may know, some bugs resulted in many losing their AUEC which deterred many from future events. Since then, we’ve had the start of Invictus, an exciting time for all. Any new players should make sure to get in and experience the event which includes a partial tour of the Javelin and watching the UEE Fleet fly around which includes the Bengal carrier, Javelins, Idris and FC8 Lightnings! In regards to Imperiums staff, we've been keeping busy with our respected tasks but have been spending a good amount of time in the game enjoying the events and with family during the recent holidays. On behalf of Imperium, we would like to welcome all of our new recruits!

Welcome to the March Newsletter! Let's start with some unit news! We have an announcement to all Unit Administrators asking them to sign up for Unit Categories in the Imperium discord server. Imperium is looking into more ways to make units more accessible to the general member base, and unit categories are the first step being taken to pursue this goal! “This will hopefully allow interested Imperium members the ability to interact with units beyond any initial conversations in your unit recruitment threads” -Arcanus If you are a Unit admin or assistant, please give his message a read in the #unit-support-admins channel in Discord and note that he is asking for feedback in relation to the unit categories, so please don't be shy to share your thoughts! Next up, this is older news to some but new to others like myself, one of our Military Specialists @macgivre took the time to map Yela and Lyria, this was combined with the Coordinate maps from Deep Space Crew where they highlighted points of interests, providing a map you can navigate much easier! Young can find it posted here on SCB. Lastly, our Academy Division is looking for more people to assist in the creation and teaching of courses. If you have any interest in this, please reach out to @PowerWagon.

Welcome back to Imperium's monthly Newsletter! Compared to January, February is looking a bit quiet but that doesn't mean our people aren't hard at work. We wont have anything fancy like divisions changing names this month but we'll jump through what we have. With a influx of new specialists and members, we've received many great suggestions and new ideas flowing in giving life to otherwise dormant areas. Not dormant by choice but simply put, we don't have the specialized manpower for everything we would like to do. At the moment Imperium is looking into improving our social outreach. Recently we've claimed ownership of r/IMPERIUMSC Reddit and are setting it up to be of use, adding it to our current list of social media platforms. We do not currently have a Social Media Manager so don't expect anything just yet but if you would be interested in this position, please contact a Human Resources member and they can get you in touch with the right people! Back to the topic at hand, the IMPERIUMSC Reddit will be open in due time and since we're working on a schedule/list of topics for Reddit, we will be attempting to add this activity to other platforms in the hope of greater interaction with the general StarCitizen community. If you haven't already please take a moment to follow Imperium's social media accounts which can be located near the top right of any page on SCB, you'll see a horizontal row of icons. Moving to Discord, so far so good in regards to our newly created bot, we're happy to say it's working as intended and no bugs! For anyone that may be missing context, the bot helps with permissions and roles, linking our custom built Portal to Discord. Next for Discord, you may have noticed our Welcome & Information channels look kinda... well, not great. Well good news, this will be updated shortly! We currently have Trophias updating our #Welcome channel to be much more presentable. Though its basically ready, we're waiting on artwork and some input from leadership before we push it out. We want Imperium to be something our members can be proud of and at least presentable, if not impressive, for those just visiting. If you do find any issues or areas of improvement, contact HR! As I've written this a few times just now, I realize it may be worth mentioning by itself. If you ever need any help, this can be: Not knowing who you should talk to about something you want to do for Imperium, questions about Imperium, a complaint, issue, concern, review, ANYTHING regarding Imperium, please contact a Human Resource member. You will not be bothering us by contacting us, our task is to help you, amongst many other things, but first and foremost keep the community healthy by keeping our members happy. Moving on to the Newsletter sections! RAMT_HD Kranacoi Jawsy No official Awards or Ribbons have given during February but we did have a media contest hosted by one of our Fleet Commanders. Chimaera opened a media contest for all Imperium members and the winners have been chosen! @GRIZZ, @Kurokokoro, and @Buckaroo Congratulations to them and we appreciate everyone that took the time to submit a entry! Science As previously mentioned in the last Newsletter, Exploration has changed to Science and @CC-Corp, our current Science Officer, made a document to help show what will be changing! Human Resources @KKillroyV2 has joined HR as a Recruiter! You may remember he was mentioned in the first newsletter as member with a good suggestion and now he's joined the ranks to helping make Imperium a better place!

Monthly Newsletters are here! Look forward to the first of the month to get an update on what Imperium has been up to! Also, don't forget to check out the Year In Review for 2021! To start the year off, Imperium has pushed many updates recently, including to our structure; not only does that mean adding/removing staff to our roster, but actual structure changes! As of 1/29/21, after an extensive officer meeting and many meetings prior, the Exploration Division has changed to the Science Division, and its color is going from green to blue. Military will be changing from blue to green as Military being green just makes sense, and Science being blue, well… we have a few Star Trek fans. This change was a proposal from one of Imperium's members, @KKillroyV2, from a casual conversation on what he’d like to see changed, which was turned into a presentable document and sent up the chain of command, which then approved the idea! Why change from Exploration to Science, you may ask? Exploration doesn't allow much room for growth under it. The name defines what the Division covers, and though Exploration is a vast topic, it's limiting. Changing to Science, we can now expand the division's reach to many more avenues, including medical gameplay! After many discussions on the topic, Imperium leaders decided it was the perfect opportunity to take this time and review their divisions for any other significant updates. This leads us to Division sections! Simply put, sections of a division allow for more focus in one area and help allocate responsibility and expertise. We hope adding these sections will allow a greater range of specialists to join the ranks. Maybe you’d like to help by being a recruiter but not moderate, well now you can! ~After the update is implemented. In other news, you may have noticed a cat on our discord staring at you ominously. We have our bot up and working through a lot of hard work from @Trophias, @Kraan Rastaban, and Vladdy! They plan to expand the bot in the future with some neat features, but currently it is handling all of our permissions which frees up another task from HR which is very appreciative! Have a special skill, good idea or want to brainstorm some things for Imperium? Post it in the Suggestion Sub forum and lets talk it out! You could make the next big change for Imperium! https://forums.starcitizenbase.com/forum/181-suggestion-subforum/ Star_Runner_Orion Tha1en IronEntropy Morgen-Black Dracanan St-Nevsky (See Year In Review for details) Exemplary Member Award - @Federal - @Grigg Member of the Year - @macgivre Officer of the Year - @Trophias - @REIGN-11-87 Military Military has had the addition of 2 specialists recently! @Space-Moose and @macgivre Academy @PowerWagon is now a specialist for Academy!

In response to (imo pointless drama about) the removal of the UEC cap, Chris Roberts has chimed in on the matter UEC Recently a few people have voiced their concerns about the removal of the player UEC wallet cap that came with the release of Star Citizen Alpha 3.2. This was done to help smooth over the transition to an in-game economy and to give people that had purchased game items through the now-defunct Voyager Direct web store the ability to ‘melt’ them back for UEC, so they can repurchase new items in-game. As we are going to be rebalancing the pricing and economy as we expand the game, and as we currently reset everyone’s accounts when we release a new patch, we felt it would be unfair to force people to keep items they may have bought at a radically different price. This would have happened if we’d kept the overall hard cap on UEC as many players had amassed a lot more than 150,000 UEC worth of items. We still limit the maximum purchasing to 25,000 UEC a day, but we felt that removing the cap was the right call, especially as with every persistent database reset we need to refund players the UEC they have purchased with money and used to buy in-game items. It’s one thing to lose an item due to gameplay, but it’s a complete other thing to have your game account forcibly reset with each new patch, losing all the items you paid actual money for. Putting aside the puzzle of why some people don’t have a problem with stockpiling ships or items but a player having more than 150,000 UEC is game breaking, I think it may be useful to revisit Star Citizen’s economic model. Developing and operating a game of Star Citizen’s ambition is expensive. From day one of the campaign we’ve been quite clear on the economic model for Star Citizen, which is to not require a subscription like many MMOs, but instead rely on sales of initial game packages and in-game money to fund development and online running costs. To ensure money isn’t a deciding factor in progression, the core principle that the game follows is that everything you can obtain with real money, outside of your initial game package, can also be earned in game via normal and fun gameplay. There will also be plenty of things that can only be earned by playing. There are two types of resource players have that they can contribute to Star Citizen to make it better: time and money. A player that has lots of time but only backed for the basic game helps out by playing the game, giving feedback, and assisting new players. On the flip side, if a player has a family and a demanding job and only has four hours to game a week but wants to spend some money to shortcut the time investment they would need to purchase a new ship, what’s wrong with that? They are helping fund the ongoing development and running costs of the game, which benefits everyone. The exact same ship can be earned through pure gameplay without having to spend any money and the backer that has plenty of time is likely to be better at dogfighting and FPS gameplay after playing more hours to earn the ship. I don’t want to penalize either type of backer; I want them both to have fun. People should not feel disadvantaged because they don’t have time, nor should they feel disadvantaged if they don’t have money. I want our tent to be large and encompass all types of players with varied skill sets, time, and money. This was the economic approach I proposed out when I first pitched Star Citizen because it is the model as a player I prefer. I don’t like to have to pay a subscription just to play and I hate when things are deliberately locked behind a paywall, but as someone that doesn’t have twenty hours a week to dedicate to building up my character or possessions, I appreciate the option to get a head start if I’m willing to pay a little extra. Some people are worried that they will be disadvantaged when the game starts for ‘real’ compared to players that have stockpiled ships or UEC. This has been a debate on the forums since the project started, but this is not a concern for me as I know what the game will be and I know how we’re designing it. There will always be some players that have more than others, regardless of whether they’ve spent more or played more, because people start at different times and play at different paces. This is the nature of persistent MMOs. Star Citizen isn’t some race to the top; it’s not like Highlander where “There can only be one!” It is an open-ended Persistent Universe Sandbox that doesn’t have an end game or a specific win-state. We are building it to cater to players of all skill levels, that prefer PvE or PvP, that like to play solo or in a group or a large organization, that want to pursue various professions, some peaceful and some combat orientated. This is the core philosophy of Star Citizen; there isn’t one path, nor is there one way to have fun. This may be a foreign concept to gamers as the majority of games are about winning and losing, but Star Citizen isn’t a normal game. It’s a First Person Universe that allows you to live a virtual life in a compelling futuristic setting. You win by having fun, and fun is different things to different people. See you in the ‘Verse!

Imperium has been featured on Star Citizen Weekly Newsletter as "Staff Pick" for the Imperium Game Night. Yay! Congratz to all who participated in Game Night and to Switch-D for posting it to the Community Spotlight section in Star Citizen Forums. Pretty cool because we get some extra publicity and those that watch it will think that we are an awesome org. Hopefully we can make a special Game Night available to all on StarCitizenBase and Reddit on the launch of 3.0 patch. Their going to be so many new people coming to the game because of the Planetary Exploration, so it will be really nice if we can attract all those new people to us o.o Also....Remember guys, our next Imperium Game Night is going to be on November 19 so don't miss it. It's going to be fun. Yes.... I know I have a lot of unopen emails >.>
