The galaxy’s premier aerospace event, the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo, is coming to the chilly expanses of microTech. But while the weather outside may be cold, the convention hall will be chock-full of the hottest new ships, limited-edition paint jobs, and arms and armor the galaxy has to offer. Strap in for 13 days of aerospace exhilaration as pilots from around the 'verse come to see the newest and most iconic ships up close. Each day, different manufacturers take over the halls, so there's something new to see every day. And nearly everything on display is available to test-fly for free! IAE 2950 is a free event open to all citizens of the ‘verse. Fly safe and we'll see you on microTech!
New to the 'Verse? From 22:00 UTC on November 20 through 11:59PM UTC December 2, everyone can play Star Citizen for free. First, create an RSI account and download the game client. You'll be given a free starter ship (the sleek, powerful Origin 100i) for the duration of the event. And that’s it, you’re ready to explore the 'verse to your heart's desire! If it's your first time playing Star Citizen, our Welcome Hub has everything a new pilot needs to know about starting a life in the stars. You’ll find our FAQ, tutorial videos, and you can even connect with a veteran Guide to show you the ropes in-game. And of course, we recommend you stop by the IAE every day, as over 100 ships from deadly fighters to multi-crew behemoths are on display. The ships rotate daily, and all are available to try out for free on that day.
