Update: Star Citizen's latest free fly event begins today. New players can begin their free 11-day jaunt through space at 11 pm BST/3 pm PDT. New and existing players will also be able to get inside the cockpit of a variety of ships, with manufacturers rotating every few days.
Original story: Massively ambitious space simulator Star Citizen will be free-to-try later this week during another of its free fly events. From May 22 to June 1 anyone with a game account can test fly new ships, whether they've bought it or not. Last year's free flight event allowed you to try every ship in the game, though this one focuses on the UEE Navy. As with before, the ships available will rotate every few days, so you can check back to try out new ones.
