My Plans for Invictus 2955
As a fan of military ships, I’m especially hyped about the Aegis Idris tour and getting hands-on with new military hardware. I’ll be using my Game Touch Controller to quickly manage ship functions, making it easier to explore layouts and put new tech through its paces.
I’m also looking forward to comparing the MISC Starlancer TAC with other tactical ships in my fleet — maybe even adding it to my org’s operations lineup.
Final Thoughts
Invictus Launch Week is always a highlight in Star Citizen — a celebration of the game’s military might and the ever-growing fleet of flyable and upcoming ships. Whether you’re here to test ships, tour military vessels, or expand your collection, this event offers something for everyone.
Mark your calendars and fuel up your ships — Invictus Launch Week 2955 is set to be the biggest celebration yet. See you in the ‘verse!
