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:

Commemorative items

Blue shirts that were purchasable in-game.

At the event, you were able to purchase manufacturer-specific clothing, as well as several Invictus branded items, and paints from the Pledge store.^[6]

From in-game:

From pledge store:

Avenger "Invictus Blue And Gold" paint
Gladius: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
Retaliator: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
Vanguard: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
Hawk: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
Hornet: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
Hercules: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
Reliant: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
100 Series: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
Cyclone: "Invictus Blue and Gold" paint
C8(X) Pisces: "Invictus Blue & Gold" paint
- This paint was only obtainable in the pledge store by buying a "C8X Pisces Invictus Starter Pack", a game package, for US$45. It is unclear how else this paint was obtained. But players reported it being in their in-game inventory without buying it, supposedly because the ship was also on a free loan for everyone to be used in the Dunlow Derby for the duration of the event. There is no official confirmation about this theory.^[7]

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.
