It's finally here and it went live around 3am this morning. As for the big surprise, it's the flyable Vanguard and not the Starfarer I was hoping for. They also rerererereleased the Vanguard and Sabre (or both for a saving of $10 in a fighter pack) Before you all rush off to buy one you can rent one for 25000 REC, expensive but worth a try before you buy. :)
EDIT: Please note that they have already stated that the Vanguard my be OP until they balance the ship.
Does anyone know why the Freelancer hasn't update in my hangar? I've deleted the user folder but still the old FL.
Also here a rundown of the patch updates.
