The video provides an overview of Star Citizen’s upcoming Fleet Week, also known as Invictus Launch Week, which runs from May 15th to May 27th UTC. During this period, players can participate in a free fly event, where everyone can use an Avenger Titan regardless of their account status. The event includes various activities such as ship and vehicle rentals, exploration, and combat exercises. The latest game update, Alpha 4.1.1, is also live, introducing new content and features, with recommendations for players to set their spawn point at Area 18 to access the expo easily.
Invictus Launch Week is an annual event that celebrates the UEE Navy, showcasing military ships and vehicles from different manufacturers. The event takes place at the Bevik Convention Center in Ark Corp, where players can test fly almost all displayed ships for free for 48 hours. Besides exploring ships, players can visit Ark Corp Tower to view the iconic Idris P, participate in training exercises, high-risk missions, and hunt for scripts for rewards. The event is also a chance to purchase ships and gear from the RSI website, making it an ideal time for combat-oriented players to acquire new equipment.
The schedule of the event is organized by manufacturer, with different companies taking over the expo hall on specific days. Limited stock ships, such as the Idris P and Javelin, are available in limited quantities and are released in waves throughout the event. Each day features new deals, ship sales, and rental opportunities, with the finale on May 26th and 27th offering all previous vehicles for free rental. The event also includes an upcoming Alien Week in June, which will feature alien ships and related content.
Several new ships, weapons, and items are being introduced during Fleet Week, including the Greycat MTC ground vehicle, Anvil Asgard, and updates to existing ships like the Starance attack. There are also new weapon systems, ship skins, and armor options available for purchase. A notable event is the “Hunt the Polaris” serverwide mission, where players chase a stolen Polaris through the Stanton system. The event emphasizes limited stock ships, with specific release times, and features special deals on war bonds and other in-game purchases, with some items returning from previous sales.
Finally, the video highlights additional activities and community engagement opportunities. It mentions the Idris being available to fly or buy during the event, with some speculation about its rental availability. The host encourages viewers to participate in the free fly, invite friends, and explore new content. There are also giveaways, including ships like the Constellation Andromeda, F7C Super Hornet, Redeemer, and a Black Cutlass, as well as a Polaris with lifetime insurance for new recruits of the Luna Wolves organization. The video concludes with a call to support the channel and wishes viewers an exciting and successful Fleet Week and Star Citizen experience.
