Hey guys wanted to ask if we'll be getting the rumoured corvette that'll appear during citizencon? If so will we be crowd funding it shortly! I'm not sure exactly if it'll be announced before its on sale to provide awes

I am planning to get it, if it's no more than $800. If it is, I'll buy something more useful to the org.

Also, I'll do my own crowdfunding. I'll crowdfund the hookers and blackjack too. That'll show 'em!

We don't need anymore hookers after I saw montoya in the latest 'XXX babes n boobs' video
Even though named 'Mon-toy-boy' I saw right through the elaborate disguise

Depending on ship stats and other thing, I might be interested. Here is to hoping they dont sell out on a second, and to CIG keeping their word to concereige prople.

I don't think they plan on developing the corvette until pu alpha because of the other ships having priority

They'll probably be reserved for the people at citizencon to get first because the venue is so small. So we can probably get one np

A corvette is likely for SQ42 as the idris was supposed to be that corvette but turned into a land whale

Yes. Corvette is a thing. But last I heard from cig, they are waiting to see what the actual balance will be like among the caps before they start serious work on it. It is also possible for the corvette to be used in a tngs contest.

They did say on RTV that the corvette is NOT the Scimitar or other ships seen in TNGS....

I think a corvette would be a nice ship to watch a Bengal crash into the sun from...

I said that the corvette would be used in a TNGS-style contest. That means the corvette could be made by anyone in the community in a new contest. I have my money on Santobell of Bell-Anzac.

Nowhere did I say in my statement that they'd use a ship from the last TNGS contest.

If the ship is stupid rare but buyable by cit-con attendees then I will happily volunteer my account for the purchase and transfer of said ship.

I wouldn't steal it unless it's Aegis!

Keeping what word?
They said that limited edition ships such as the glaive, would have some put aside for concierge (or was it subscribers i forget) as a thank you and added perk. I think it was concierge as all we get now is a fancy button to submit trouble tickets. This wouldn't take away from the original amount to be sold. This didn't happen with the glaive or other ships, so I think they forgot about it. I just remember people throwing a fit about it, calling it unfair.

so how big is a corvette? Like relative to say a frigate, or a destroyer or a carrier?
smaller than a frigate, I want to say around 1/2 to 3/4 size of frigate. Modern corvettes are 500-2000 tons (most are around 1500-2000 tons) , with some reaching 3000 tons. Modern Frigates can go from 4000-7000 tons (majority are 4000-5000 tons, while "heavy frigates" are 5500-7000 tons).

Oh I wasn't saying you said it. Someone asked on RTV if it would be one of the older TNGS or more specifically the scimitar I believe.

We can't crowd fund that which we do not know about, but if there is some major surprise like a Corvette (which I doubt), I can always grab one on my credit card and we can crowd fund it after the fact if we deem it as being important for the org.

The only remaining ship we need as an org is the Crucible repair ship, after that I think we are pretty much done.

Everything else we will get in the game!

I agree I really need to see something before thinking either way :p
