Flight Ready Ships in 2.5

[The Razgriz]

I've been doing some searching and haven't found much info on the subject, so I figured I'd ask. Does anybody know if there are gonna be any other ships brought to flight ready status in 2.5? All the stuff I've seen so far is all about the Reliant, but there's nothing about any of the hanger ready ships that are currently out. Might we see updates for the Freelancer and Connie variants? Or is that something that CIG/RSI would announce in it's own right?

Only thing they have said is the Reliant Kore and the Argo. If there's something else flight or hanger ready it will be a surprise.

I can see the Cat being hanger ready maybe.

I heard something about the Cat being hangar ready, but I know none of the Variants will be worked on until all the base models are done. The only ship I see being a surprise is MAYBE the Dragonfly.

So the Argo is confirmed in 2.5? Was there a concept sale that I just didn't see?

They never did a concept sale for it, but iirc it comes with the Idris. No idea what it's gonna sell for or of it will come with LTI, but hopefully 2.5 is out soon and we get to find out.

The Argo is the first ship which is on its first ("concept") sale but will already be flight ready. Plus, as I've written here, the Reliant will be flight ready.
As for the remaining [CONCERN] and [HYPE] - we'll have to wait another three weeks until the start of the GamesCom ;)

Ahh. Thank you. I've been looking forward to the Argo since I heard about it. I've always had a soft spot for the niche ships.

Keep in mind that it is only a small supply vessel, not able to use Quantum Drive.

 

[The Razgriz]

Even without the ability to use Quantum Travel, it still has the potential to fill the "space pickup/minivan" type of role. Useful for situations when something larger, like a Freelancer or HULL, wouldn't be economical.

The unofficial word is that two variants of the Argo will be available when 2.5 is released (cargo and passenger). That might of course be complete baloney.

baloney.

bala~what??

It is indeed correct.
The Reliant and both (cargo and passenger) Argos are flyable.
I know, I have flown them.
No NDA here as CIG has already stated this.
