Star Citizen is running another Free Fly event to help draw more players into its persistent sci-fi sandbox universe. The free-play event will allow new players to explore the entire game world with a handful of free ships that you can use to get around.

Developer Cloud Imperium Games is also encouraging existing Star Citizen players to invite their friends into the game with a special referral bonus as part of its Red Festival Lunar New Year event. Both recruiter and recruit will receive a Drake Dragonfly cosmetic pack, a Ravager shotgun, an undershirt, and a full armor suit once the recruit spends at least $40 in the pledge store.

Red envelopes will also be scattered around the Stanton System which can be exchanged at traders for a good chunk of in-game currency. The Red Festival will run until February 26 while the Free Fly event will run until February 15.
