Anyone know when the Federal Corvette is slated to be released?

For some reason I'd thought that the Corvette would be added in the 1.3 update, but after re-reading the recent news bulletins on 1.3 it appears I was mistaken...

I'm pretty disappointed in my Anaconda honestly, even after sinking a few hundred million into it; I'd rather fly my Python any day of the week. The Corvette might be worth sinking some money into, though...

Soon.. So erm... I guess no one knows.

I expected 1.3 until you pointed it out but it may be a separate release with the Imperial Courier. Similar to how the FDL and Vulture were released after Wings.

FDL and Vulture were released with Wings (1.2), not after. Power Play (1.3) is getting the Diamondback and Imperial Courier. My guess is that the Beluga and Dolphin won't be released until the passenger missions are added (they're not coming in 1.3), so that leaves the Cutter, the Federal Corvette, the Panther, and the Imperial Trader, plus 5 more that DB announced would be added on top of the 25 promised in the Kickstarter. Only FD know when any of these will be released.

The trader is probably the Clipper - it's in the internal files as 'empire_trader'.

I think it'll be released with the Imperial Cutter, the Imperial counterpart of the Corvette.

The "sneak peak" of the Corvette was quickly commented on by ED (Mr Brookes or Mr Edwards?) as being a mistake to release it so early as a teaser. This hasn't dampened the frustration of folks expecting it in 1.2 and now in 1.3.

The Courier and DBack have been confirmed for 1.3, so unless it will be a massive easter egg, I doubt we will see it until 1.4 or 1.5. It is likely as well to be launched at the same time as an Imperial counterpart.

With powerplay in full swing at that stage, there would be much wailing and gnashing of teeth if one set of factions were given access to a perceived "win ship"; even if any player can go double agent and rank up for the Feds if they choose :)

At least 3 more months of waiting. Maybe more because of E3 and they are probably going to announce an expansion. (Powers come in may-towards the ending- so i guess another 3 months)
