Free Fly Access Begins
Fans who are interested in learning more about Star Citizen have been invited to try out the game for free this week. Potential players are required to create an account on Star Citizen site and will be able to check out Star Citizen 2.1.2, Arena Commander and the Social Module.

It's "that" game right now.
Maybe I'll try it.
My code is: STAR-JXHC-H4QQ (I love that code, ha qq)
Note that right now you get the mmo and the single player game, but on feb 15th they will no longer be together. Consider it a pre-order bonus to get both and have access to the alpha.
I think it needs to be said that you are required to have at least a basic pledge package (45 $) of Star Citizen.
This gives you a small starter ship: Aurora or a Mustang
Then - and only then - can you take advantage of the Free-Fly-week (CIG does them in regular intervalls) and try out the other currently available ships (including the bigger multiplayer ships like the Constellation and Freelancer).
This is NOT an "one-week-free-account" offer.
Have fun
PS:
I correct myself - three ships are available :
"...Free Fly accounts will have access to the Hornet F7C military fighter, the Aurora LN starter and the Mustang Delta interceptor." Thank you @nightbird305 ;
That was going to be a given with these guys. I clicked on this knowing that someone would say they tried to make you use a CC number too sign up or rerouted to a place where you could 'donate' money.
I wouldnt even make up a fake email to sign up. This is a thinly veiled way for them to boost 'citizen' numbers and claim all sorts of propaganda.
I noticed that too, however you don't have to pay anything this week.
After you've registered your account simply download the client https://robertsspaceindustries.com/download and play the game!
You'll have access to the two starter ships (Aurora and Mustang), as well as one called Hornet (If I remember correctly).
I played it for a bit, but it's not really my cup of tea. The game feels very unfinished.
EDIT:
From their website https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15178-Roundup-Free-Fly-212-Patch-And-Other-Updates
" 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. Free Fly accounts will have access to the Hornet F7C military fighter, the Aurora LN starter and the Mustang Delta interceptor."
Have fun

Visit us over at Star Citizen Privateer!
And it is only for the weekend. It ends monday. (1. Feb)
Downloaded it. Played a bit.
Calling it Alpha is not under selling it...
Have fun
Once i went out for a fly it was auto exit time,my ship came out spinning and rotating out of control again seemed like more lag.
Probably the worst experience i have ever witnessed and it was only doing simple things.Even Smedley's H1Z1 a dev known for massive bugs and glitches only spent a few months and his product was workable/playable.
To kind of hint at the lazy effort ,in the hangar the lift is automatic,they were too lazy to even put in a switch/trigger just an automated trigger of some kind.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

My FFXIV ARR referral code for new EU accounts: 5JPF7ZQ3
Step into the amazing world of Eorzea! Use this reference code on a new account and we'll both get goodies for it!
If you follow the link to RSI in the article you will notice a small green bar in the top of the window saying: "Newcomers, create your account and fly free until feburary 1st!"
I am pretty sure I am right this time...
Have fun
Who's forcing you to buy it if you try it for free? Is someone forcefully trying to make you buy it? Or are you scared that you'll succumb to buying it because you can't control yourself? Some people these days...smh. And the same old "making for years" argument is old. Learn how software development on that scale works and you'll blow your own mind.
Seriously now how far behind is he if he can't even get the most simple concepts right yet?
I had to logout it was so bad,the lag was unreal ,anything that could be bugged felt bugged.Example why on earth was my ship vibrating around in the Hangar,what kind of code could even allow that to happen?
Why was my ship constantly spinning out of control in a 360 degree fashion,like this is the VERY basic of operations in the game,we are not talking about dogfights or landing on a planet or docking another ship, i am talking about just trying to fly the thing.
Even the hangar lag,there is like nothing in the hangar to tweak,only the flashing lights which is likely causing most of it.Point being how much effort would it take r could even be done to tweak the hangar lag?I mean the ONLY thing in there is my character and my ship and the ship was bugged.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
It's been how many years, and this is what they've got to show for it? If I'd bought into this game I'd be absolutely livid at this point. This idiot is going to absolutely destroy public confidence in Kickstarter and crowd funding when his 'game' launches with 18 billion ships (half of which will still be 'concepts') and three planets.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.

They corrected it today to February 8th. So yes, it was supposed to be a full week (actually a bit more).
Have fun
