The Anvil F8C Lightning is the civilian variant of the F8A Lightning space superiority fighter that is used by the United Empire of Earth Navy. It closely mimics the military specs of the original F8A, and has been used in lines of defense against Vanduul invaders. It was made available in extremely limited numbers to the civilian market by Anvil to celebrate the debut of the F8A in the UEE Navy.[1]

Features

  • Weapons: The 'Lightning' has an array of weapons which include two Size 3 and six Size 2 guns as well as two missiles racks that can hold eight Size 2 missiles.
  • Maneuverability: Even though the F8C is a heavy fighter, it is a more nimble fighter craft than its F7 predecessor.
  • Stowage: It has the capability to stow up to 250K μSCU of items via an external storage.
  • Pedigree: It is based on the UEE Navy's F8A, which is designed to counter heavy Vanduul craft, such as the Glaive and Scythe.

Development

  • The F8C Lightning was available as the Wing Commander concierge reward which is introduced in January 2018.[5]
  • The F8 Lightning was designed by Chris Smith (Lead Vehicle Artist)[6] and Gavin Rothery (Freelance Conceptist).[7]
  • CIG released the F8C Lightning to owners on 10 October, 2023 in Alpha 3.20.0b.[4] At the same time, a special event was held where players could obtain access to the F8C in several ways:[4]
    • Obtain a gold license, looted from crates in the PU. When you turned this into a rental kiosk, the player would gain access to an F8C for 24 hours, and be able to purchase the ship on the Pledge Store.
    • Obtain a platinum license, only obtainable by taking it from CIG developers in-game. Once obtained, all other players across the server will be alerted to your location. If the player manages to bring it to a ship dealership, they could obtain permanent ownership of the F8C, with LTI.
