First of all, there's nothing wrong with Anvil making a ship to compete with the Aurora and Mustang. Second, you know CIG will make more money if they sell an LTI token along with the anniversary sale ships.

- Start date
Oooh, so potentially it might have a bed, too?
True story. I'll probably make it swim regardless of it's design. Haha
Stop with the sense making. This is TEST. Haha
All I'm saying is, there is no reason that CIG can only have two base starter packages, the Aurora MR or Mustang Alpha. They can have as many as they want. IRL, many companies put out a starter ship/car/vehicle, not just the 1 or 2 that have decided to be part of the beginner market. Get people hooked on your brand early, get a customer for life.
Every cents counts. Soon I'll have a dollar!
No you won't, you'll spend it on pixel shipz.
If you make yours swim, then would you be calling it Penguin? Or maybe pOWLguin perhaps?
I can't spend it until I get at least $5 :P
Aaaaand another $5 ccu into my hangar.... now I have $0.00 again.

That was my first reaction: meh...another fighter...
That was my second reaction...

It was designed to fly through beer. It's about time CIG started prioritizing the needs here at TEST.
Seems perfectly legit to me.
We should know in 20 minutes, haha
Okay so the ship is $80 warbond and $90 regular, good hunting my friends. Also a heads up, Carrack is now up to $400.

The Anvil Hawk is a Bounty Hunting vehicle

Was kind of hoping to get one of these LTI Hawks and up it to a cutlass black for the LTI, but all I am seeing is Hawk to other Anvil atm.
Just not able to convince myself to ditch my Cutlass for a Hawk unless getting the Hawk = LTI ccu to Cutlass.
I know LTI is not going to be a game changer, but I was thinking it might be worth having on a Cutlass Black considering its components are mostly un-armored and easily carved off in battle like slices of Thanksgiving turkey. Aside from that, will definitely buy one of these Hawks when the game goes live for Bounty Hunting and turn my Cutlass from bounty hunter ship into a dropship/dragonfly and/or cargo runner. If the Hawk prisoner compartment will not double as human sized beer cooler, might be a dealbreaker tho
Does CiG usually change the upgrade CCU options to allow more/different ship upgrades after while, or is it more likely the Hawk will only ever be CCU-able to other Anvil ships? (All I see atm for CCU upgrades is Hawk to other more expensive Anvil ships)

If you get the Hawk now, then after the Anniversary sale week, you should be able to get a CCU from it to the Cutlass Black as the Black is a staple ship that is always on sale.

Thank you, that is what I was hoping to hear. Worst case scenario, I keep the LTI Hawk and it's my starter bounty hunting ship w/ likely lower operating costs as compared to the Cutlass, although I know there is no way to predict that sort of stuff, just have to wait n see and hope for the best. They do make a point of referring to it as a "starting" bounty hunter ship though, so I have to assume lower operating costs would be a large factor in calculating that? Also, only carries one prisoner per mission, whereas I assume in final release a Cutlass Black will probably have a bounty hunter module allowing it to carry 1 to 6 prisoners or possibly more?
