Please Frontier, it's been a few days now: where is the Federal Dropship 5% discount???????

Hi FD - hope you are listening - I raised a ticket already as well.

I contributed to the community goal to deliver copper to BD+03 2338 - Hudson Terminal. The reward was 5% discount on the Federal Dropship. It troubled me at the time that Hudson Terminal did not stock the Dropship. . . but I thought: surely the good people at FD will sort that out.

It wasn't there on Saturday after the goal expired - and galnet was updated. Some people on the forum advised it might take a day to arrive on the system. . .

I'm back there now and it's still not there? What? Could you please let us know when it will be in stock? Will the seven days start again when you add it? Are you going to make the ship available there? Is this a bug? What is going on?

Will it be broadcast on galnet? How will I know? I may well be the only person who cares about the Federal Dropship, as everyone complains about it - but I've had my eye on it since Day 1 - was super excited about the discount; and have been grinding rares since Saturday (I hate trading so much I can't express it) - finally hit 40 mil assets which I calculated with the discount was the minimum I could get away with. And now it's not there!

Am I missing something? Is there some special way to get the discounted ship?

Even with the discount you will need a lot more cash to outfit the dropship. I highly recommend keeping a trade ship because the federal dropship is an awful trader.
 
Abusing poor question marks again? ;)

I may have overcooked the question marks. Yes. My sincere apologies.

Thanks for the bump though :)

I'm in a Cobra - have been since I hit 387,000 Cr --- I really don't enjoy trading, my goal was to just fly it - I love the look of it. I'll keep my Cobra and do some rare runs now and then to outfit it if I need to.
 
Just an update in case anyone is interested.

Frontier responded to my ticket with the following message (Cheers to Mike from Customer Support!):

"Thanks for getting in touch. I would think that the dropship and discount will show up when the battlecruiser that was built as part of the event is released. I'd wager that'll be when 1.2 goes live!"

Awesome!
