Vulture available in 1.2? So three new ships altogether?

[Titus Balls]

I've search the archive version of newsletter #61 and it doesn't have that in it. I'll check the version that was emailed though

Yep it does say it then has The Corvette. Explanations are:

* It's a mistake, should have been another image there and was changed at the last minute
* Someone in marketing assumed it was in 1.2 and didn't check with the devs or producer

No implication of any sort, they took a concept art that nobody knew what it really was and put a name on it, said it was the biggest player ship, and nothing else...

EDIT: Actualyl they're right: "and sneaking a look at March's Update 1.2 in our Peek Of The Week."

welp...

Sorry, but have you read what you linked? It's the last line in the second paragraph in the introduction of your linked newsletter. Do you think I made it up?

Edit: saw your edit

It's only the Vulture and Fer del Lance in 1.2.

And what's the meaning of

The only issue I have is we really need ships somewhere between the Cobra and the Asp / Type 6 in size. Most players don't have the millions required to buy the big ships. A few more smaller / mid size ships would add a heck of a lot to the game in my opinion.

Funny thing is: I keep reading stuff like "most players are not rich enough to buy anything more expensive than the T6" etc., but most of the commanders I meet in space fly Asps or better

You need to start reading the full thread (and especially the dev posts) :

A typographical error perhaps? I dunno I didn't write it nor read it

Guys get over it because it is not coming anytime soon. From the looks of it it is in concept stage. I for one am glad they are bringing in more ships to fill the stupid price gaps that currently exist.

 

[Titus Balls]

Yup - found the offending passage and take back my previous comments. Comms, Comms and more d4mn Comms.....

They were probably quite keen to go crash a helicopter and put it out in a rush.

Sorry

I am not complaining that we don't get the corvette, yet. After all, it was announced from the beginning that there'll be only two ships in 1.2. I just want to explain my - seemingly justified - confusion.

That Mike Evans already answered exactly the same question you were asking, in an earlier post?

 

[Daud]

I don't suppose you'd mind telling us- approximately- when some of the other ships will come along?

 

[Devil's Refugee]

Any idea whether the Vulture will be available to all factions or just one as part of a rank ? There's no exterior shot of the Vulture as yet either is there ?

No you're not. And neither am I. I don't mind the work jolly to let off some steam but I don't want the boys brigade waved in my face when there's so much work to be done.

I don't get it. What comes in a newsletter is not the "official" stuff ? Guys writing newsletter do not do it hours before they release the newsletter, they are doing it days before, and It's read over and over again, how can they make such a mistake ? I really don't get it.

 

[EUS]

I loved the pic of the FDL until that guy in another thread ruined it for me; now all I see is King Julien.

The newsletters are written by the marketing team, they are not a dedicated team within Elite: Dangerous. They just ask devs for nice stuff then put it out.

It's marketing, not a dev diary/dev blog.

You'll find a lot of FD comms appear to be done minutes before release, whether it's a newsletter, server update or a patch. And most of it is fairly inconsequential (the RAF thing a good example of "filler" material. I'm waiting for David's holiday snaps on Brighton Pier)

And nobody in the Dev team noticed the error in the past 2 weeks ? I dont get it !
No apologies, no compensation ? This is how FD works ?

Compensation? What loss have you suffered here?

 

[Feldspar]

In the name of equality and all things right, could we please have a piccy of the FdL cockpit

No! You shall only get pics of the exterior of the FdL and the interior of the Vulture, never the other way around.

That's wrong - Vulture will have two large hardpoints, not 3.

Compensation? No, there is nothing lost. Yes a ship will not appear in 1.2.

Mike's post in here telling your it's not coming in 1.2, that's all you're getting.
