I've always said: if you're going to troll a person's writing ability, make sure yours is up to scratch first.
It's incredible how many times I see trolls making a twit of themselves by posting something even worse than the person they are trolling. Heh!

The Condor is a short-range fighter. If I understand correctly, it doesn't have a Frameshift. It's meant to fly from capital ships. Not sure that's what a Cmdr needs.
I'm interested in the Fer-de-Lance, but it looks awful small. I hope it isn't another Eagle...

Ah ok, the Condor's like the Vipers in Battlestar Galactica then and so it makes sense that it won't become playable. My interpretation of the FdL is a more aggressive Cobra re hardpoints yet retaining sufficient cargo space for freeloading goodness! More nimble and compact than Pythons/Anaconda's etc.

Fer-de-Lance: Heavy fighter/Luxury yacht

Looks like we'll be seeing the passenger liner career path coming into effect soon if these come in. Also, some re-balance to combat-centric gameplay and earnings is in order.

For 2 other ships to get to 20:

Panther LX: ZPG mega-freighter
Federal Corvette: Core Dynamics heavy gunboat to rival the Faulcon de Lacy Anaconda

I recall the FdL being touted as ideal for high security passenger transportation or evacuation. Liking your manufacturer speculation for the other ones - lets hope!
