New campaign seems to be started, as the topic says.

Therewith, I was totally flashed when I logged into the ship selection screen on Port Olisar: a whole bunch of ships are at choice! For me as follows:
  • all Mustangs
  • all 300er series
  • all Auroras
  • Gladius
  • all Hornets
  • Freelancer
  • all Avengers
  • Gladiator
  • Vanduul Scythe
  • Vanduul Glaive
  • Vanguard Warden
  • Sabre
  • Retaliator
Is that cool?! I've tested ALL of them, was a lot of fun (hate the Sabre anyway) - except for flying the Retaliator alone is totally meaningless :D Oh, and I like to fly the Avenger, small and fine peace of space craft, esthetically designed :)

Just found the corresponding original lead news:

Greetings Citizens,
On the fence about Star Citizen? Why not give it a try and see what we’re building! For the next week, we’ve enabled Free Fly access to all accounts… FOR EVERY CURRENTLY FLYABLE SHIP IN THE GAME OO-AH-AH-AH-AH! This means that anyone can jump in to Star Citizen Alpha 2.2.1 today and fly limited ships like the Scythe, Mustang Omega, and more! The Free Fly event gives everyone access to three unique parts of the Star Citizen experience:

  • Star Citizen Alpha 2.2.1 – Also known as Crusader or the “mini-PU,” this is the nucleus of the world we’re building! Featuring multiple space stations and environments, scripted missions, places to explore and more, Alpha 2.2.1 is your first look at a much larger universe!
  • Arena Commander – Arena Commander is a ‘game within a game’ that we’ve used to develop our flight mechanics and ship combat balance. Take on human opponents or an AI swarm in single seat fighter.
  • Social Module – Interact with other players while you explore our first landing zone, ArcCorp! The Social Module is intended as a starting point for our world building,
You can register for an account here to get started. If you already have an account from a previous Free Fly, you’re all set! Just log in via the Star Citizen launcher. This is the first Free Fly that includes Crusader, so there’s more to explore than ever before. For the next week. Free Fly accounts will have access every ship currently available in the game.

I logged in last night and my first thought was that I had stumbled on to a bug. An internal ego battle ensued....

Shoulder Angel..."You should report this right away"

Shoulder Devil..."No, let someone else take care of that. Let's keep this our little secret."

It seems to me that RSI has added the Drake Cutlass Black to the list of available ships; or I simply have overseen her the last days.

COMMUNITY MANAGERS LOG. 2016. Week 11. These things are all the same. It's supposed to be a week like any other, but something feels... different, somehow...

The Free Fly for all available ships is going on now. That's very different, but we started that last week. Someone forgot to include the Cutlass in the list. It'd be funny if that were done on purpose, but unfortunately it was just an oversight. That's what we get for having so many ships, I guess. I feel like there's something else ship related happening this week, though. The Prowler? Nope, just checked: it won't be ready anytime soon. Something else, then...

There's a 10 for the Chairman on Monday. Chris is in the UK for Squadron 42 work, so he filmed this before he left. I'm sure it's good. It's always good to hear directly from the Chairman himself, but that can't be what feels different.

Tuesday is the Vault Update. We used to do the Jump Point reruns on these days, but the writers put their lore posts out on Tuesdays and we thought we'd switch to Wednesdays a few weeks ago, spread the lore out a bit. That change already happened. That can't be what this is...

Wednesday is that Jump Point rerun, and it's a Bugsmashers week. I like Mark, but he's certainly weird enough to make things feel... off. This could be it, but I'm not convinced...

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday. The day that owns my week. It's Around the Verse day. We've got another Loremakers coming this week. It won't be an every week thing. These Loremakers have real jobs to do, but we'll do two up front and pick them up again in another two weeks. We also have an interview with Carl Jones. He's a big muck-a-muck with the company. Here for about 2 days and I grabbed him first thing when I walked in. Pretty standard how I pounce on these guys the minute they show up to get them on ATV. Probably why Tony doesn't make eye contact with me anymore. That can't be what's different about this week. Nobody makes eye contact with me anymore because they know I'm gonna ask them to do something for ATV if they do. Business as usual...

Friday. It must be Friday. Reverse the Verse is on Friday. Yeah, we've changed it up a bit, but it's still the same show with graphics. Changing up that intro every week is a bitch though. Don't know why I said yes to that stupid idea. Probably because it was mine... I really thought the difference this week was going to be ship related... Something new, maybe? Something... concept-y... Something... we probably won't find out about until Friday...
