Claiming 1 of 5 Ships

I recall being promised a choice of 1 of 5 ships by FD... As a "goodie"
Did that happen? How do I claim it..

Already got the freagle.
 
It will be later on, it was stated that it would after release, though no set timeframe as far as I have seen.
 
Oh.. I guess I miss understood.
Thought it was an at launch bonus... shame.. I was looking forward to getting out of the freagle.
Its not hard to do, but I dont play enough just yet to have earned the credits.
 
I was kinda hoping we would get one at launch, but was rather shocked when the patch notes didn't show anything..
Havent logged on since release tho.. Dont have time when I get off of work.

At the current rate things are going, you'll probably have to wait between 9-12 months for the bonus ship to materialize.

FD have stated that they release the ships as soon as they're done. We've got 15 in the game now... and the bonus ships are 25-30.

As i've posted elsewhere: the notes state that you get 'free access' to one of five ships.

Which could equally mean that you get the chance to buy one without needing to complete factional or reputation aspects (that other people will need to do).... it doesnt specifically say that you get a free ship.

(And if you think about how massive a bonus another free ship is it seems unlikely to me that you will get one entirely for free)

It'l be lovely if we do get another free ship, i just dont see it as being likely.
 
Being a Beta backer is the only way you will be able to play Elite: Dangerous until 16th December. In addition to that and the other existing Beta benefits such as Mercenary Edition and automatic permit to visit Sol, today we are also announcing: •25% off in-game ship insurance for life to all our Beta backers
•free access to one of the 5 new ships when it’s released!
as a ‘thank you’ for all their help.

This was from Newletter 49. As a buyer/backer of the game since Beta 2.03, I'm just curious about the contents of the newsletter and when we will get our ship and free merchandise. The Eagle is a not a "new" ship. It was already in the game.
