Will the Mustang and other ships not yet available for pledge be made so before the alpha?It looks pretty cool and I would like to add one alongside my Aurora LN and Cutlass.asked by ShoGun
TL;DRThe announced ships are all in development, and the Mustang is being worked on now, but ships will probably not all be available by the first dogfight release, only sometime after and before the game is finished.
We are working on all the ships that we've announced at some level. Some are in the concept stage, some are in the modeling stage, but there's a lot of work happening.We've got a lot of artists, but there's even more work than we've got artists, and also for the Dogfight, there's a lot of extra work that goes into building all the different damage parts and models of the ships, and LoD's, which you don't necessarily see the benefit of until you're in the Dogfight.So a fair amount of our artists are focused on that. But the idea is as the ships get built and put in the engine, we'll make them available in the hangar, and then you can fly them. When they're available in the hangar, you should be able to pledge for it and put it in your own hangar, and then once we have all the damage states and the LoDs, you'll be able to fight with them in the Dogfight Module.I would say that they'll probably be available before the game is finished, definitely. Probably not by Dogfight v1, but probably sometime thereafter. So the Mustang we are working on right now.
