I’m, unironically, in love with the informal affectation used to information you to the occasion within the first place. Oh, the free fly occasion? Down the steps, head previous reception, and make your approach to the transit station.

It’s no Bernband (as Alice O assured in SC’s last free fly event), however it’ll do tremendous sufficient. We can not all be Bernband, in any case.

They received’t allow you to fly with out an account, obvs, so for those who’re up for giving Star Citizen a bash you’ll have to create an account on the Roberts Space Industries website. Think of it as getting a passport, however for area.
