Star Citizen’s Valentine event adds a Free Fly week, running Feb. 12 to 23

Cloud Imperium Games is tying a Free Fly period to Star Citizen’s Valentine’s-themed “Coramor” event this year. The free access runs from February 12 to February 23, letting anyone jump in without buying a starter package.

Free Fly works the same way it usually does: you make an account, download the client, and you’re in. Players who join during the event get access to a limited selection of ships to try out, rather than the full lineup.

According to the official post, Coramor is also bringing the usual event extras, including a mutual referral bonus (for both the new player and the person who referred them), themed cosmetics like pink paint jobs, and discounted starter packs.

This is the first time Coramor has included a Free Fly event. In past years, the Valentine’s stuff has leaned more toward community activities and co-op focused bits, rather than opening the gates for a full try-it-for-free stretch.

Star Citizen has done Free Fly events around bigger tentpole moments like its major in-game expos, but this one’s basically an excuse to take the game for a spin during a smaller seasonal event. If you’ve been curious but didn’t want to commit to a pledge, this is one of the easier windows to see how it runs on your setup.
