Cloud Imperium Games is making Star Citizen free to play from November 13 through November 27. The two-week promotion coincides with the in-game Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2956, hosted in New Babbage on microTech. During the event, both new and returning players can test out more than 200 ships and ground vehicles at no cost. [1][2]
Players can access the roster of vehicles by renting them from kiosks on the expo floor, with a different group of manufacturer exhibitors featured each day. Several new spacecraft will make their debut and become pilotable at various times, including the RSI Galaxy, RSI Skylark, Anvil Liberator, Drake Marauder, and Gatac Hyun. [1][2]
The event also features the return of the annual Ship Showdown competition, which honors the RSI Perseus, Drake Ironclad Assault, Origin M80, and Drake Corsair with Best in Show rewards. In addition, players can unlock extra cosmetic items by tuning in to participating Star Citizen streams with Twitch Drops enabled. [2]
