First, we take a look at the new Anvil Spartan armored personnel carrier. It does exactly what it says on the tin and looks very cool.

Secondly, we move on to the Aegis Redeemer, a gunship originally designed by backers and that went through quite a lot of iteration.

Both will be playable starting tomorrow, with the opening of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951. Everyone will be able to try them as it brings along the traditional Free Fly event, allowing non-backers to try Star Citizen at no cost for over a week.

In other Star Citizen news, the crowdfunding total has passed $398 million and it’s currently sitting on $398,596,758.

The number of registered accounts is now over 3.3 million, and it’s at 3,339,883 at the moment of this writing.

As usual, you should keep in mind that it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including Free Fly events like the one happening tomorrow.

Recently, we got an extensive look at what’s coming to Star Citizen with several panels hosted at CitizenCon, while Alpha 3.15 has recently been released.

If you’re wondering whether the game is actually fun to play, this is a good place to start. A star-studded single-player campaign titled “Squadron 42” is in development.

For the sake of full disclosure, do keep in mind that the author of this article has been a Star Citizen backer since the original Kickstarter campaign several years ago.
