IAE 2954 is the next big expo in Star Citizen that will open up on November 22, 2024, and come to an end on December 5, 2024. As always, each major manufacturer in Star Citizen will bring a handful of ships and vehicles to the show floor, delivering free rentals in the game, as well as, special offers in the pledge store.
The event is supposed to kick off with Alpha 3.24.3, an update that is already available in the PTU to all backers. Along with this update, Misc Starlancer MAX will also be added to the game, the latest cargo hauler from the manufacturer of the Freelancer and Hull series.
Ships And Warbonds
The full list of ships available in IAE 2954 will not be revealed until the specific day for each manufacturer arrives, but a number of them were already teased during CitizenCon 2954, and also some more leaked after the release of Alpha 3.24.3 on PTU servers. So, here are some of the ships that will surely make it to IAE 2954:
- Crusader Intrepid
- F7C Hornet Ghost Mk 2
- F7C Hornet Tracker Mk 2
- RSI Polaris
- Misc Starlancer MAX
- Anvil Terrapin Medic
- Anvil F8C Lightning
- Aegis Sabre Firebird
- Crusader A1 Spirit
- Crusader C1 Spirit
- Gatac Syulen
- Aopoa Santokyai
- Misc Hull A
It is yet to be seen if there will be surprising appearances for some of the upcoming ships like Idris similar to Invictus Launch Week 2954.
All the ships mentioned above will likely receive Warbond edition, but players can expect more Warbond availability for some other ships as well.
We already decrypted the ships that have been promised to be released by the end of 2025, and it includes sub-capitals like Perseus, which is one of the most popular gunships in the making and could probably make an appearance in IAE 2954 to get more pre-orders from the citizens, as the release window is getting closer.
It is also expected to see a high demand for RSI Polaris, as the capital ship will launch before 2024 comes to an end.
