If you pledge for a ship, will you receive a blueprint to craft it?

If you buy a car from the dealer, can you make more? No, no you cannot. Pledging a ship does not give you the blueprint to craft it. You've got to earn that like everybody else, but it gives you the ship, and you can use the ship. Like I said at CitCon, though, once you've got a ship, however you got it, whether you pledged for it or got it in game or nicked it or something, you will be able to upgrade it. So even though you can't draft directly, make a brand new high tier ship, you can upgrade the one that you pledged for for in-game materials and research and all that. But yeah, you'll be able to do that to ensure your vehicle has the best stats that you want for it.
