FleetCom Update
Greetings VVarMachine! Hope you’ve all been well over the past few months. No major updates from my end this quarter, the machine keeps on running. Just want to say thanks to everyone for their continued support of this community, whether that’s through your ongoing activity in game, supporting operations out of game, financial contributions, something else, or all of the above. Below you’ll find updates from our division leaders, enjoy!

Division Updates
PlanetSide 2
Greetings, folks!
Unfortunately, Quarter 1 of 2026 hasn’t been great for PlanetSide 2. We spent January and March constantly crashing, so frequently that Ops either ended early or were cancelled outright from time to time (especially in March). We even ended up playing Helldivers 2 for several Ops. When the game was working, we were performing at our usual proficiency, with the Ops being anywhere between average and great. Overall, the game’s instability has cast a bit of shadow over Q1.
Ultimately, the goals remain the same as Q1, since forward progress hasn’t been very achievable. Recruitment Ops and updates to the training database will continue as the game and time allow. A Bastion Op and Colossus Ops are on the table for Q2, so keep an eye on the weekly schedule and outfit chat for more news on these.
Lastly, keep an eye out on the start times for our Ops at the end of April/Early May. Ops start times will be subject to change month by month, or week by week in rare circumstances. These time changes will never move more than an hour at a time and will remain at the current time of day. This is all a result of it becoming harder to schedule for a single timeslot across all days. Life happens.
That’s all for this quarter, folks! Thank you to all of you for sticking with us through another rough patch for PS2. Special thank you to folks such as Newson and Farquharson for keeping the Ops running even when mistakes are made and scheduling becomes more difficult. We hope to see y’all at ops this quarter!On to Star Citizen.

Star Citizen
The VVarMachine Fleet has been crafting its future along with the new experiences in the verse. The past few months have been busy, from exploring the shadows of Nyx mining facilities and finding blueprints for the new Crafting gameplay, to exploring new ships while aiding the people of Levski against a new virus. The gears of the fleet keep turning.
Current active members have been enjoying the fruit of the new content that arrives in Star Citizen while awaiting the release of the much-anticipated ships like the Kraken, Ironclad, and Galaxy. During this time, leadership announced the reactivation of SCnet, our tactical hub for fleet structure, live ops, and our massive ship inventory.
As the road to 1.0 and Squadron 42 heats up, the grind never stops. Lock in for regular ops every Wednesday and Friday, with high-stakes operations dropping occasionally on Saturdays.
See you in the verse.

Final Thoughts
Our Community Game Nights are still going strong. We have played Hell Let Loose, PlanetSide 2 and Star Citizen over the last few months. We have been in a rut recently, so here are the games that are on the rotating list. We would love to get some table top games added to the list using table top simulator.
