Invictus launch week has begun in Star Citizen, offering a free fly event until May 29th. This event is part of one of the two major sale events held by Cloud Imperium Games each year. Players can visit Area 18 in-game to see and rent a variety of ships for free, providing an opportunity to explore the game’s offerings. Unlike the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo in November, the Invictus event is military-focused, showcasing more combat ships but still featuring a range of other ship types used by the in-law Navy.
To participate in the free fly event, players can visit the RSI website or Invictus2954.com to create an account. It is recommended to use a referral code during account creation to receive additional benefits if purchasing a pack later on. Once the account is set up, players can download and install the game to start exploring. Area 18 on the planet ArcCorp is the location of the show, where players can begin their journey and access various ships for rent.
New players joining the free fly event can set their home location at Area 18 and explore the Bevic Convention Center, where different ships from various manufacturers are displayed. Some ships, like the Polaris, are for viewing only as they are not yet available in-game, while others, like the Constellation, can be fully explored. By interacting with terminals next to ships, players can rent them for free during the Invictus event, with manufacturers on display rotating periodically.
Players are encouraged to return to the event location to rent and try out different ships as the manufacturers on display change. For those needing assistance in getting started, a new player’s guide is available to help navigate the game. Additionally, players can join the Discord community for support and potentially participate in in-game events over the next few weeks. The event aims to introduce new players to Star Citizen and provide an enjoyable experience exploring the game’s vast universe and ship options.
