You mean F8 Lightning? From what we are told, CR wants to keep it a surprise, and that they wouldn't be allowed to normal civilians. The Glaive is the equivalent of the Hornet (both are medium fighters), the Glaive more equivalent of the Super Hornet. I don't think we will see the the heavy fighters for sale aka Vanduul Stinger and Anvil F8.

I hear you, but we have heard this all before!

Watch them come out with a stripped down civilian version that somehow fits the lore.

I know I would buy one!

Cig is good at making loopholes to sell ships so expect more in the future, Gamescom was expensive and the Glaive was an easy blank check, a lot of users had trouble even attempting to gain the right to pay them money, Montoya got his

I would kill for a f8 or stinger. But we have yet to see the vanduul blade(?) and Anvils light fighter. Both are also easy checks and they don't have have to make some lore excuse as there is more of these and the Anvil light fighter is older in my memory. Also they can sell more of them and make more money.

Only a little has been told about the Lightning. The Anvil Aerospace F8 Lightning is a heavy fighter, adopted by the UEE to to fill the void left by the decommissioning of the aged Aegis Dynamics Gladius. The Lightning, as such, fills in a similar role to the Gladius, which was originally adopted due to being a better fit for combatting the ships and tactics of the Vanduul. Unlike the Gladius though, which relied more heavily on its ability to out maneuver the Vanduul, the F8 takes the traditional approach which Anvil is famous for, covering a ship with a butt tonne of armour and filling every spare space with weaponry.

Since the ship is supposed to be only just come into production, it would be unavailable for civilian purchase for a while, due to contract between Anvil and the UEE (similar to what you see with modern fighters). Game wise, this could be a intended usage of the ship for policing, since it would out class most other fighters available.

It was also discovered that they ship is pretty far in development when there was the big Disco Lando Leak.
