[The Xi'an Scout is already available in the store. Will CCUs be enabled for it?]
TL;DRThe Xi'an Scout is on sale as a concept with CCUs coming online shortly, but it isn't in the current patch and is slated for a later 2.x patch.
Some folks have discovered that the Xi'an Scout is already available in the store. Good work. As far as the CCUs, those will be online when the actual post goes up. You just discovered our other secret surprise for right now, but there will be CCU enabled. CCUs will come online shortly.
But I should stress right now, the Xi'an Scout is not going into the game today. It's not in the 2.1.1 patch. It's still a concept sale. It is one of the next ships coming in a 2.x patch. But we think it would be fun to make it available today.
It's because in our disease-addled minds, we went Gillian Anderson to X-Files to aliens to Xi'an Scout.
But the Scout is really, really cool. We've got the specs, or at least a good chunk of all of its core parts, locked in now, so even what you guys see on the specs page for it, it's actually going to be a little bit beefier than that. The shielding on it is really going to be a hallmark thing of the ship where, more so than any other ship in its size class, its shielding can take a punch, but the hull, eh, not so much. But it's going to be a great one.
