With the anniversary of Star Citizen's development. Cloud Imperium Games released the long awaited Anvil Aerospace F8C Lighting as a thank you to all the backers. The Lighting, originally slated to be released with Squadron 42 is the civilian version of the military heavy fighter the F8A. And is now purchasable by players who can find gold license for the heavy fighter out in the world. They can also get one for free by stealing platinum license cards from CIG employees in game. Existing owners that received one from the Wing Commander concierge level and up will also be automatically granted one as well.
The even ends on November 7th, after which the Lightning will only be obtainable after completing SQ42 or getting the higher end concierge levels.
