The floor at the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) 2955 has rotated once again, bringing Anvil Aerospace into the spotlight. Starting November 25, 2025, Star Citizen players can access a specific selection of Anvil's military-grade fleet for free during a limited 48-hour window.
Anvil Aerospace Takes Command
If your current ship feels like it's made of paper when the shields drop, this rotation is for you. Anvil Aerospace is the backbone of the UEE Navy, favoring heavy armor plating and distinct, rugged silhouettes over the sleek curves of their competitors. For the next two days, the Free Fly event allows anyone with an account to rent and pilot these hulls without spending a single credit.
This part of IAE is usually where players test the "meta" daily drivers. Anvil ships often sit at the center of combat and exploration loops due to their survivability. Whether you are looking to upgrade your pledge or just want to see how a dedicated military craft handles atmospheric entry on Orison, this is the time to log in. It's a chance to see if that hum of the fusion drive sounds better coming from a military-spec engine.
Kruger Wolf: Modularity in Focus
While the big military ships draw the crowds, a significant technical detail is being highlighted with the Kruger Wolf. The expo is showcasing the ship's modular weapon loadouts, specifically the capability to swap between laser and ballistic configurations.
For pilots who use snub fighters or parasite craft, this flexibility is vital. Being able to adapt your damage type based on the target—stripping shields with lasers or shredding hulls with ballistics—adds a tactical layer to what is essentially a civilian defense craft. It’s a small detail that reflects the deeper customization systems Cloud Imperium Games continues to iterate on.
What else is happening at IAE 2955?
Beyond the show floor, the community team is running a PC Gaming Giveaway to coincide with the event. Additionally, those looking for developer insights should tune into the latest Star Citizen Live (SCL), which features a Q&A session dedicated to IAE questions. With the event running through early December, the rotation will shift again soon, but for now, it’s all about heavy armor and ballistics.
