F63 Condor already in the game... Is this a bug?

So, since 1.3 the F63 Condor has been in-game as an NPC for local Federation security forces. I just came across it but apparently they're not supposed to be? They're always around in some of the stations I visit but apparently they shouldn't be in the game at all right now?
 
They are in the game since the beta of the game. This is not a bug. What is coming in 1.4 is a modified version of the F63 Condor that players will be able to pilot in CQC.
 
Ah, I thought so... Watched the twitch feed just there and people were acting like it's the first time they've seen it. Got me wondering if it was bugged around my system or not. :p
 
First time we've seen them up close, I think. They're pretty common in conflict zones.
Tiny ships with no shields that tend to die in a few shots-- but they're very fast and agile.

The new screenshot in the newspost looks really, really nice though. Don't think it would have the fuel or internals for much more than a tournament fight though.
 
There is an imperial version-- the imperial fighter. Fulfills the same role in some imperial warzones so I'd expect it to be added to CQC at some point, even if it's just the Condor to start off with.
The Imperial eagle is a different ship entirely, essentially an upgraded eagle. I think they said it would have a medium hardpoint and be faster, but lose some mobility.
 
Reading the Newsletter, it seems the Imperial Eagle is around the same size as the Eagle but with a Medium slot and two small. A regular fighter seems too small for a medium slot.
 
They are updating the looks of the F63 condor for CQC, all in-game condors get this update too. I'm not really sure if the updated condor is already in-game right now. Haven't played for a few month so i would not notice the difference if it were.
