Pretty sure CIG said that all ships after the Endeavor will not be out til after SC comes out. Could be wrong, but am pretty sure. Otherwise it would keep shoving the game back further whenever they had a cool ship idea.

i think in AtV they said end of year for hanger i think not sure if mentioned flyable though
How long does it tend to take until they will let you upgrade your ship...being the Bucky......past the 24hour mark, can sell it but not upgrade yet....o_O

As I understood from recent chatter is that the Buc will be used as NPC ship in PU and is an Asset for SQ42, so we may see it hangar or flyable by End of Year.

So is the Endeavor the last one in or the first one out? [MODERATE CONCERN]
No endeavor for you! ;)
Couldn't tell you. But I expect the smaller ships to come through the pipeline faster than some of the larger ones, especially the non-SQ42 ships .
I can't wait to fly this little baby straight into everything.

Straight into everything? are you sure about that? maybe you should think a little bit about it before....

Decided to not do a Ship Talk on this one. They barely wrote anything about it beyond it is a fast maneuverable ship with a BFG for a fighter its size. Not very exciting.
But with that said, it does seem to be a neat little ship if you don't have another fighter. I'm not getting one though.

The way I understood it, it will not be used in ep1 of squadron 42 but the 2nd episode. So I dont think this ship will be out for a while. That being said I did upgrade a base hornet to BUC... just to see what happens when/if anything cool about it is said during the QA.. but it might turn around and be ccu fodder right away.
I CCU'd my 325a.
I've tested the 325a and it is available anytime, anyway. Not a *bad* ship, but not my cuppa.
I will probably end up keeping the Buck, not because I need another fighter, but because I am (behind my very seriously legitimate and tax-paying ship modding Crucible business) a smuggler at heart. And this sounds like it will get some special loving from the smuggler gods :-)
So I'll be testing the hell out of that.
I don't think it'll replace my Titan Miss Direction, but it might be just what I want for quick little runs... or cover for a bigger operation.
It wasn't in my plan, but it's got potential, so I'll fit it in somewhere :-)

Their color scheme advertising game is too strong.. must..not buy another..
Nope. ;)
With my flying finesse, all ships shall ram and explode with equal vigour and intensity.
I am still at a toss up between a vanguard or a smaller fighter and 3rd ship, if the Buc does not get nerfed to badly I might stick with it otherwise its back to a vanguard and cashing in one of the others.

Black and yellow! 10,000 People guaranteed to buy it at $100 a pop! Chris Roberts is currently on a yacht with a woman half his age.

I'm with you. I picked one up despite the theme, mainly because I'm liking the idea of marketing the drake line as mining and industry/utilitarian. I think it'd be a great mining escort.
Obligatory, "That's what she said."

yeah once I saw pictures without the jolly roger I went ahead and got it. Will be even more glorious once we can choose our color schemes.
I CCUd my sabre for this, now if they would hurry it up with the HOTAS i could actually fly again :)
