That's the free-fly schedule only, Owl : ) We don't have any Crusader flyable ships in game yet.
Strange selection of ships for the "UEE Expo", by the way... -- Constellation Phoenix and MPUV...?

Gotcha. That would explain it. Thanks!

Sky Captain · May 19, 2020

Yeah, its easy to read that as 'sale list' instead of 'free fly list'.

Will C. · May 19, 2020

I'm hoping the vanduul attack the event and the UEE fights em off.

Oh man that would be cool. Don't think they have the AI figured out yet though lol. Vanduul ships will probably crash into each other or fly straight into Baijini Station or something.

Goero · May 19, 2020

Ok ok.. So I fell off the bandwagon, and now I'm back on. I'm trying to figure out what all I missed. It was the invictus Email that dragged me back in. My uh.. biggest question, is uh... Are they releasing the F-8 Lightning? Or just teasing us? Cause mmmm that is a good lookin ship.

Lots of rumor mongering going on right now but we won't know till the 22nd.

My gut tells me no. I think we'll see it at an exhibition and an NPC flyover but that's it.

Thalstan · May 19, 2020

The community manager has said...”no” with regards to the F8 being sold,

So, would that make the Vanduul distant cousins of TEST Squadron for the time being? (until the AI gets figured out)

OMFG Cutlass Blue flight ready? Paintable ships (skins)?!

Talonsbane · May 19, 2020

Flight Ready!

So, maybe Drake is a bit salty that they weren’t formally invited to attend Invictus Launch Week, but that’s not going to stop them from putting on a show. With the launch of Alpha 3.9.1, all existing Cutlass Blue pilots will find that the Cutlass Blue is ready to take to the skies. That’s right – the Cutlass Blue is here!

Don’t currently have a Cutlass Blue? Fear not! Not only will Drake’s latest and greatest become available on May 30th when Drake Interplanetary takes over Fleet Week, but it will also be available to test fly for free as part of the event!

Aramsolari · May 19, 2020

Wait for real? Cutlass Blue ready?
