Star Citizen has kicked off its annual Invictus Launch Week (technically weeks) event where ship manufacturers from all over Empire get to show off their wares. As with previous iterations of the event, players will be able to download the game for free and will have the chance to jump into the cockpit of showcased military ships and fly them for free on their scheduled dates.

This year’s event, however, has been moved from New Babbage on planet microTech to the Orizon Landing Zone located high above the clouds of the giant gas planet of Crusader.

“This annual event honors the Navy and other armed forces for their tireless service to the UEE, and celebrates the aerospace and defense manufacturers across the galaxy who gather to showcase their latest vehicles designed for (or influenced by) the military. Once again, event organizers have outdone themselves, inviting pilots to tour the deadly Aegis Javelin destroyer and experience the might and majesty of the RSI Bengal fleet carrier via a scenic flyby.”

Invictus Launch Week will run until 5:00pm PDT on May 31st with showcased ships changing every two days with over 60 ships available for testing throughout the event. All ships will be available for free during the last two days. The full schedule can be found here. You can also find out more about the history of the event in the video below.
