Star Citizen’s highly anticipated 3.20 patch has been released, introducing the new F8C Lightning ship. Players have the opportunity to obtain the ship through a special event, involving finding golden tickets in loot boxes, and the ship proves to be an impressive and formidable asset in combat, generating excitement among players.
In the early hours of the morning, the highly anticipated patch for Star Citizen 3.20 was released, introducing the new F8C Lightning ship. Although some players had speculated that it would cost a staggering £10,000, it was revealed that players could obtain the ship through a special event. The event involved finding golden tickets in loot boxes, which were surprisingly easy to locate. The narrator himself found one immediately upon landing in a specific area on Hurston.
The F8C Lightning is a visually impressive and sizeable fighter ship with powerful S4 weapons. Although the narrator is a fan of its design and even enjoys 3D printing models of similar ships, he does not plan to purchase it due to its steep price tag of approximately $280 for war bond and $300 of credit. The ship cannot be upgraded using the CCU system, which is a disappointment for some players. However, Squadron 42 offers another opportunity to acquire the ship in the future.
The narrator takes the F8C Lightning for a test flight, showcasing its speed and firepower. He encounters excitement and chatter among players in chat and on Discord, as they eagerly anticipate seeing the ship in action. The ship’s gimballed weapons and impressive cannons prove to be deadly, making it a formidable asset in combat. The narrator decides to engage in bounty hunting to further test the ship’s capabilities.
A detailed explanation of the ticket system is provided. Players can find golden tickets that provide a 24-hour rental of the F8C Lightning and the ability to purchase it on the website. Additionally, there are platinum tickets that can only be acquired from defeated Star Citizen staff members, granting players a free Anvil Lightning ship with Lifetime Insurance (LTI). This incentive offers an intriguing challenge for players to hunt down staff members in the game.
In conclusion, the F8C Lightning has been released to players, generating excitement and anticipation. Some players have successfully obtained the ship through the event, while others may seek to acquire it in the future. The ship’s impressive design, firepower, and maneuverability make it an attractive choice for bounty hunting and combat. The narrator plans to continue hunting for tickets while searching for Day of the Vara helmets, hoping to stack up on these limited-time items.
