The monumentally crowdfunded, mega-budgeted is once again having a free fly event, letting people try out the space sim for the grand price of nothing for one week. Until July 19 you can do all the free flyin you'd like, trying out one of 10 different spaceships in developer Cloud Imperium's sandbox.
This particular free week is an in-game-world event called the Foundation Festival, a sort of civic pride celebration for the star citizenry. Part of it is an enhanced experience for new players alongside a new guide system that connects veteran players with new ones. Those who participate in the guided sessions during the festival will get of armor and weapons.
If you're now wondering whether Star Citizen will actually run on [[link]] your machine, well, let me point you at the technical requirements: . It might say you're going [[link]] to need just 16GB of RAM, but I doubt you'll enjoy yourself with less than 32GB.
Star Citizen is finally pushing for the 1.0 finish line, director Chris Roberts earlier this year. Part of that is the release [[link]] later this year of Pyro, thestar system of outlaws and smugglers that's going to focus on features like the industrial gameplay, vehicular combat, cargo hauling, and medical missions alongside the challenging Master Mode missions.
