I’m absolutely champing at the bit to get back to it...

Huh... I was going to deride the newsletter for such an obvious grammatical error, but evidently Champing at the bit is the original expression!

https://grammarist.com/usage/champing-chomping-at-the-bit/

Champing stems from an old Middle English word that has been around for at least 600 years and relates to the grinding of a horse’s teeth.

Someone at CIG knows their historical linguistics.

The newsletter still includes an image claiming that it'll release in 2026.

I'm not so confident that they'll meet this deadline, hopefully we get an actual release date soon.

I want to believe!

And what does LSTR mean, I mean I gett STR for Starman, but what does the L prefix?

Good question, I wasn't paying much attention to the ranks in the newsletter.

Looking at the list of ranks here: https://starcitizen.tools/United_Empire_of_Earth_Navy

It looks like "Leading Starman" makes the most sense.
