Ursprünglich war die ANVIL Hurricane als ein weiteres Starter-Schiff im Rahmen einer Abstimmung zu einem weiteren Finanzierungsziel bzw. stretch-goal vorgestellt worden. Bei der Abstimmung gewann dann die MISC Reliant.Where are they now?
Anvil ships fight harder! The entire Hornet lineup and the Gladiator are flyable in Star Citizen Alpha 2.5, and the special edition variant will be added in 2.6. The military version of the Hornet, the F7A, was recently completed for use in Squadron 42. The Carrack, Crucible and Terrapin are in the concept phase and will move on to implementation shortly (likely in that order.) An additional Anvil design is in the works right now, a sturdy, older fighting ship.
Daher gibt es auch eine offizielle Beschreibung der ANVIL Hurricane, wenn auch unklar ist, wie weit sich CiG noch an diese Idee hält:
In der letzten Epsiode von "Citizen of the Stars" (20. Februar 2017) hat Autor Will Weissbaum die Hurricane aber auch als "Glaskanone" bezeichnet.Some ships avoid dangerous encounters with speed, some with stealth and others with maneuverability. The Anvil Hurricane's philosophy is that it should be able to blast anything that gets in its way out of the sky. The Hurricane won’t win any races and its electronic signature won’t let you sneak behind enemy lines… but it features a wide array of fully customizable small bore weapons hardpoints plus the ability to customize weapons types in several ways. Hurricanes are often used by militia squadrons and private organizations seeking to add a "heavy" to their lineup.
