Star Citizen will be having a free-fly event next week to celebrate the release of the game's first planet.
Each day will put the spotlight on a different series of craft, and players will get a chance to fly every one of the 80+ pilotable vehicles available in Star Citizen. This will come with the release of Alpha 3.3.5 which besides the significant additions of Planet Hurston and its main city Lorville, introduces Object Container Streaming, which should increase performance in-game for the majority of players.
The Star Citizen free-fly will take place from November 23 through November 30, and during this time the game will be free-to-play. Each day will feature flyable ships from one of the major starship manufacturers in the game. The free-fly ship schedule is as follows: November 23: Anvil Aerospace
November 24: Roberts Space Industries
November 25: Origin Jumpworks
November 26: Aegis Dynamics
November 27: Drake Interplanetary
November 28: Alien Manufacturers
November 29: Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern
November 30: Kruger/Argo/Tumbril/Consolidated Outland
Now's a great time to check out Star Citizen, and you can do it during the free-fly risk-free. The game is starting to move out of the realm of being a fun tech demo and beginning to shape into what Cloud Imperium Games has been promising it would. With each Alpha release, the game is more stable, and the pipeline has really opened up concerning content. You can even purchase ships with in-game currency you earn through missions now.
In the meantime, be sure to check out our Star Citizen developer interview for more things Roberts Space Industries.
