The F8C Lightning - The Good, The Issues & The Slap

The video discusses the launch of an in-game event featuring the Anvil F8C Lightning ship, highlighting how players can obtain golden tickets to rent or purchase the ship, as well as the ship’s positive qualities and some concerns about its availability and power. Overall, the video suggests that while there are some issues, the ship will likely become more accessible through in-game methods in the future.

The video discusses the launch of an in-game event featuring the Anvil F8C Lightning ship, the UEE Navy’s heavy fighter. Players can obtain golden tickets by finding loot crates or defeating enemies in specific locations, which can be redeemed for a 24-hour rental of the F8C Lightning. The ship is also available for purchase at $300 or $260 with a war bond. The video emphasizes that finding golden tickets is relatively easy and suggests that the ship will likely become available at regular intervals in the future. The video also mentions platinum tickets that can be obtained from CIG developers, which grant players permanent ownership of the F8C Lightning with lifetime insurance. However, these tickets can be stolen by other players in the server.

The F8C Lightning is praised for its aesthetics and powerful combat capabilities. It has eight pilot-controlled weapons, including six size 2 laser repeaters and two size 3 ballistic cannons. The ship offers excellent maneuverability and visibility from the cockpit, with separate fire groups for gimballed and non-gimballed weapons. The video suggests the potential for mixed loadouts and experimentation with different weapon types. Despite the positive review of the ship, several issues are mentioned. Firstly, there is some discontent over the ship’s introduction, as it was previously stated to be restricted to those who completed a specific amount of Squadron 42 gameplay or as a perk for Concierge members who spent over $10,000. The video suggests an alternative method of unlocking the ship through in-game missions tied to golden tickets. Additionally, concerns are raised about the ship’s power and the advantage it provides in player versus player combat, especially for those who can afford to purchase it with real money. However, the video notes that the ship should eventually be available for in-game purchase, allowing players to earn it without spending real currency.
