This Week in Star Citizen
May 18th, 2020

Hello everyone!

This is it! Invictus Launch Week is here!

From May 22 to June 1, we’ll honor those in the Navy and other armed forces for their tireless service, with high-flying public demonstrations from the UEE Naval fleet, a special display from the 999th Squadron, epic firework shows, and more.

Last week, we shared the Invictus Launch Week Guide, that aimed to help you find your way to the Bevic Convention Center in Area18, ArcCorp, where the galaxy’s top vehicle and defense manufacturers will showcase their state-of-the-art technology.

Today, we’ve published a schedule that details the ships that will be available to everyone to fly for free each day. This will help you get the most from this awesome display of military might and combat engineering, so check it out, plan your visit, and take in the biggest and most dangerous military vehicles the ‘verse has to offer.

Watch the Invictus Launch Week 2950 Teaser here.

While the naval fleet makes their way through Stanton and the manufacturers make their vessels ready for boarding, we’ll also kick off two community contests. One will demand your most breathtaking flight performances, while the other challenges you to help the UEE find new recruits! So, no matter if you want to demonstrate your ace pilot abilities or get crafty to support the UEE Navy, everyone will have a chance to win some fantastic vessels.

The Invictus Launch Week offers a myriad of exciting events and experiences, so make sure to share them with your friends and families using the #Invictus2950 hashtag!

Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:

As mentioned above, today we published the Invictus Launch Week schedule, so you can start planning your Free Fly already!

On Tuesday, the Narrative Team will publish a former subscriber exclusive Portfolio piece about Rest & Relax. If you´re wondering whether space has more stars or R&R stations, this is where you might find the answer! Also on Tuesday, we’ll catch up with Brian Chambers for another Squadron 42 video update, and to cap off the day, we’ll release a bit more info about the short & midterm plans for ship paints.

*UPDATE: We ran into some editorial issues with the SQ42 update video so won’t have this out today. Cue the jokes about delay – we know! We’ll get this one out soon. Thanks for your patience!

On Thursday, we welcome the latest episode of Inside Star Citizen, our weekly look behind the scenes of Star Citizen development.

On Friday, you’ll see a Roadmap update and Roundup, an update to the Subscriber Vault, and the RSI Newsletter delivered to your inbox. We’ll also welcome a new episode of Star Citizen Live, which will broadcast on our Star Citizen Twitch channel at 9:30am PDT/4:30pm UTC. This week, we’ll have Vehicle Pipeline Director John Crewe, Senior Systems Designer Richard Towler, and Senior Gameplay Programmer David Colson on the show for a Vehicle Roundtable. Oh… and of course, FLEET WEEK!

We will see you at the event!
