Star Citizen's most-anticipated spaceship finally has a release date

Star Citizen has announcement trailers for its spaceships - and this one is the flashiest yet.

The video, below, is for the upcoming Anvil Carrack, probably the most-anticipated spaceship among the Star Citizen community right now. It's the kind of trailer you'd expect from a sci-fi movie, or some big-budget Netflix show.
