The 2952 edition of the Invictus Launch Week is held at Vision Center, Orison, Crusader from May 20 until 31, 2952.

Invictus Launch Week is a yearly recurring event organized by the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN) which marks the beginning of the new recruitment year. It is an official holiday in the UEE.[1]

Javelin tour and fleet flyby

During Invictus Launch Week, you can tour an in-service Javelin destroyer, the UEES War Hammer. The Javelin moves through Stanton, so everyone has a chance to enjoy the tour.

The tour will stop at the following locations, in order:

The Navy will also make their way through Stanton. RSI Bengal, Aegis Idris, and other destroyers are among the ships that make up the big fleet.

They will be flying through at these space stations:

Reception

Patch Star Citizen Alpha 3.17.1 was published to the LIVE branch the day before the event was starting, on May 19. The event then started on the 20th with a few problems, such as not being able to login, getting long login queues before being able to play, character reset queues, ships duplicating or in-game social services being down. CIG developers were quick to respond, fixing the worst issues, but a "degraded performance" warning was still active on the status page.[8] Throughout the week, there were still occasional issues, most notably social services often being down. This kept players from seeing or using their friends list, unable to make parties, and the in-game global chat channel would also be unavailable.
