"The Wreckless"
A poem by former [[999th Squadron]] pilot Lt. [[Ralph Kinoi]]

<blockquote>
We push boundaries.
To test the limits of what we can do.
To say the impossible can not define us.
To move us all beyond where we thought we could go.
To be the first. 
The fastest. 
The best. 

It is not easy.
Luck is as important as skill.
Failure as important as success.
But we get better. 
And we learn.
And we get back up and try again.
And we carry on when others can't.

We carry on so others can.</blockquote>

== Competing Event: Drake DefenseCon ==
The [[2950]] edition of the event did not feature [[Drake Interplanetary]], as they weren't formally invited. As a result, the company put up their own [[Drake DefenseCon|show]] as a follow-up, also at [[Area18]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17611-Invictus-Launch-Week-2950-Details|text=Invictus Launch Week 2950 Details|accessdate=2020-05-19}}</ref>

== Technical Problems ==

The Free Flight Week was launched parallel with [[Star Citizen Alpha 3.9.1|Alpha Patch 3.9.1]]. At the first day (and the following days) the [[Persistent Universe]] Servers had several massive service disruptions and outages and CIG decided to prolong the Event until the 2nd June, because many player's weren't able to play.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/invictus-launch-week-free-fly-update|text=Invictus Launch Week Free Fly Update (Forum post)|accessdate=2020-05-26}}</ref><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://status.robertsspaceindustries.com/|text=RSI Server Status|accessdate=2020-05-26}}</ref>
