Cloud Imperium Games announced a new Star Citizen free fly event available now until February 15. Players will have access to the following five in-game ships:
Consolidated Outland Nomad: This small and flexible starter ship punches above its weight and is perfect for the solo pilot, coming complete with spacious living quarters and cargo space capable of transporting goods or smaller ground vehicles. It has strong defensive weapons and missiles to keep pilots safe throughout their travels.
Origin Jumpworks 100i: Luxury and performance go hand-in-hand with Origin’s entry-level touring ship. Leveraging Origin’s exclusive AIR fuel system, the 100i’s eco-friendly design greatly expands its range compared to similar vessels.
Origin Jumpworks 400i: Designed for pilots in need of a larger vessel that can deliver in terms of speed, safety, and style, the Origin 400i exudes opulence with its sleek design both outside and within. Superb fuel efficiency and unexpectedly powerful shielding and armaments make the 400i a perfect vessel to tour even dangerous planets and regions.
RSI Scorpius: Get straight to the action with the Scorpius, a two-seater heavy fighter that brings surprising agility, powerful weaponry, and an iconic adaptable bi-wing configuration. An on-rails turret on the top of the ship affords unprecedented range and coverage in addition to its front-facing cannons, making it a threat from any direction.
MISC Prospector: The Prospector comes with everything a one-pilot mining operation might need: a ship scanner to locate and analyze prospective ore, a retractable and adjustable frontal arm supporting a variety of mining lasers, detachable containers for easy storage and transfer, and a small complement of weapons to defend their claims.
Star Citizen is also celebrating two more in-game celebrations at this time of the year: Coramor and the Red Festival, the equivalent of Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year. Coramos runs from February 8 to 15, during which time Star Citizen players are encouraged to exchange gifts with loved ones, visit their favorite romantic destinations, or send comms into the vastness of space in the hopes of attracting new love. Couples can also join a special Duo Showdown mode in the Arena Commander module, achieving relationship goals as they attempt to defeat other pairs of pilots to earn a unique challenge coin.
