Jump Point is a monthly digital magazine available to community subscribers on the RSI website. It is published by Editor David Ladyman (Incan Monkey God Studios) and provides additional information to Star Citizen's and Squadron 42's development through Behind-The-Scenes articles, interviews and Work-In-Progress art pieces mixed with in-lore articles and continuing short stories. Although the content is initially restricted to subscribers, CIG sometimes releases parts of the latest issues a few weeks after publishing date.

Description
The magazine usually consists of around 50-60 pages with up to 5 chapters. Nearly half of the pages are dedicated to a Work-In-Progress art showcase that focuses on the design process of a specific ship or location from concept to the (almost) final model. The other half contains a deeper look into certain parts of development via interviews and two in-lore articles giving background information on corporations, star systems or locations (later released e.g. as Galactic Guide Spectrum Dispatch). Each issue finishes with a multi-part short story contributed by an external or internal writer.

CIG also sold to date (October 2016) two limited hard-cover book versions (Jump Point Volume 1 and Volume 2) containing issues released in the first and second year of the subscriber program.
