The annual Intergalactic Aerospace Expo for Star Citizen is now live from Cloud Imperium Games. This event makes the game free-to-play until November 30th while also providing access to 120 different ships in the game. For those that already own the game, this event gives all players access to those 120 ships to try out, just in case you feel like spending hundreds or even thousands of additional dollars.
As part of this event, Cloud Imperium is also debuting the Drake Corsair ship. This ship, available to fly right now, supports a crew of four and includes "oversized fuel tanks, living quarters, and strong armaments allowing it to boldly venture into the unknown." Other ships will also be revealed, but it sounds like they won't be flyable just yet.
A rundown of the Star Citizen Intergalactic Aerospace Expo can be found below. Those already in game can find the ship showcase in New Babbage, on microTech.
- Play for Free from Nov. 18-30: Download and play Star Citizen for free during IAE 2952.
- Test-fly Over 120 Ships in Star Citizen for Free!
- Take a Tour of the Latest Ships: Two display halls will host manufacturers throughout the event, with a new company exhibiting each day and ships shown the day before moving to a second hall for any latecomers. Players can make discoveries daily, whether it be the perfect ship for their chosen career or something entirely new as they look for their place in the ‘verse. A full schedule of which companies will be featured each day can be found on the IAE 2952 website.
- New Ship Reveals: Drake Interplanetary, Anvil Aerospace, and Roberts Space Industries will be revealing new vehicles throughout IAE 2952 as they take to the show floor.
- Drake Corsair: Event sponsor Drake Interplanetary will be launching their vision for a crewed exploration vessel on the first day of the event. Available to fly immediately, the Drake Corsair supports a crew of up to four players, complete with oversized fuel tanks, living quarters, and strong armaments allowing it to boldly venture into the unknown!
- Best in Show: Starting on Nov. 27, attendees can look forward to rewards from this year’s Ship Showdown competition! The final four ships, the Carrack, Mercury, C8X Pisces Expedition, and Scorpius, will all receive limited-edition paint options, with owners of all ships also receiving limited-time manufacturer challenge coins. This year's ultimate winner and the first ship in Star Citizen history to win two Ship Showdowns, the Carrack, will be commemorated with an in-game ship model celebrating the milestone.
