Star Citizen will be having a free-fly event next week to celebrate the release of the game's first planet.

Each day will put the spotlight on a different series of craft, and players will get a chance to fly every one of the 80+ pilotable vehicles available in Star Citizen. This will come with the release of Alpha 3.3.5 which besides the significant additions of Planet Hurston and its main city Lorville, introduces Object Container Streaming, which should increase performance in-game for the majority of players.

The Star Citizen free-fly will take place from November 23 through November 30, and during this time the game will be free-to-play. Each day will feature flyable ships from one of the major starship manufacturers in the game. The free-fly ship schedule is as follows: November 23: Anvil Aerospace

Now's a great time to check out Star Citizen, and you can do it during the free-fly risk-free. The game is starting to move out of the realm of being a fun tech demo and beginning to shape into what Cloud Imperium Games has been promising it would. With each Alpha release, the game is more stable, and the pipeline has really opened up concerning content. You can even purchase ships with in-game currency you earn through missions now.

In the meantime, be sure to check out our Star Citizen developer interview for more things Roberts Space Industries.

          Ah I guess I had forgotten I had an account already or I'd use yours. Seems like I can't pre-load this. It says I need access to ships and modules to even download it or whatever so I guess I'll wait and see if it's available when this free thing happens.

        If you use my referral code STAR-TT6N-HNJ9 when you sign up as a new account you get 5,000 free in game currency.
        That's enough for new armor and a weapon! The money doesn't reset ever.

      This kind of reads like paid content?

      Wait, is it a game now? Is this supposed to generate hype?

      They’ve been dribbling out for so long that I’m not sure if I would ever know if it emerged out of joke status

      The 3.3 patch has made vast improvements in performance and frame-rate.

      The added Object Container Streaming, which means that the client machines no longer have to keep track of every single item in the whole solar system, just what's near you.

      I went from getting frames in the 40s, to about 115-125, all on high settings, and a 1070gtx.

      If anyone wants to sign up, you can use my referral code, I'll get some items, and you'll get free in game credits to start.

      I'd appreciate it (I only have 5 referrals atm)
