Star Citizen is hosting the Invictus launch week, or Fleet Week, featuring an annual military Expo and freefly event where players can test fly ships, view new concepts, and tour ships like the RSI Polaris and an AIS Idris. Additionally, in preparation for the upcoming Alpha 3.23 release, there will be a partial wipe of alpha UEC and rentals, prompting players to spend their currency strategically to potentially retain items post-update.
Star Citizen is introducing the Invictus launch week, also known as Fleet Week, from May 17th to 29th in Area 18 on Arc Corp. The event will feature an annual military Expo and freefly, allowing players to test fly ships, view new concepts, and experience up-close encounters with new ships and vehicles. Notably, the event will showcase the RSI Polaris and offer an opportunity to tour an in-service AIS Idris, providing a glimpse into the game’s evolving universe.
Attendees can expect a range of activities during Fleet Week, including the opportunity to rent ships for free, participate in a free flight event, and explore various manufacturers’ offerings. Different manufacturers will be featured on specific days, with the event culminating in a finale on the 27th through the 29th. Additionally, there will be an emphasis on ship customization and character variety, enhancing the immersive quality of the game world.
New ships and straight-to-flyable options are anticipated to be unveiled during Fleet Week, with possibilities including the F7A, Retaliator, and a new Argo variant. The event may also showcase the Zeus Mark 2 and potentially introduce new Drake ships. However, it was clarified that the Fat Fury will not be part of Fleet Week, leaving room for speculation about its future appearance in the game.
In preparation for the upcoming Alpha 3.23 release, Cloud Imperium Games announced a partial wipe of alpha UEC and rentals. While home locations may remain unchanged, players are advised to spend their alpha UEC on ships and vehicles before the wipe to potentially retain them post-update. Notably, consumables and ammo will not persist through the wipe, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning in the game.
The Alpha 3.23 update is expected to launch soon, following additional fixes on the PTU. Alongside the update, players can anticipate the Xeno threat event and the conclusion of the Overdrive initiative phases. The video also includes promotions for NordVPN and Toby eye trackers, as well as a giveaway for the C1 Spirit ship.
