Welcome to 10 minutes More or Less ship review for the Anvil F8C Lightning! In game version 3.24.1.
Eight guns and One pilot.

This is using update 3.24.1, the F8C Lightning when available is priced at $300 on the pledge store (store credit) or $260 war bond (cash), at this current time it is not obtainable in game... yet.

This is the ship you get when you pledge for this ship or if you get it in game.
This review is of the STOCK ship.
This review is just my OPINION.

These reviews are typically around 10 minutes more or less if you don't count the intro with ship showcase and the end screens.

The bigger the ship, the bigger the review.

I won mine through a platinum ticket. It was a random chance. ME and a couple friends were just messing around and I read in chat that the event was on our server. I went just to participate and say I tried. Through dumb luck and sneakery I managed to run off with the ticket. I have the full story written down on spectrum. I have #40

I still prefer my Scorp but I'll give the F8C this, she is the most beautiful single seater fighter in the game. Just gorgeous.

[Faol_Sean]

I heard they are going to make it so half the F8Cs guns are controlled by the Corsair's Co-pilot

[JonathanS]

I have an F8C and really love it, but everything you said is 100% spot on. It's not the best heavy fighter but it looks great and I'm never melting it because it looks badass. I remember seeing it on display at ILW a few years back and fell in love, I pounced on it when they did the first golden ticket event and got one.

[MaximoFlammiger]

On the toilet when this released and I just had to watch it

[FritzOFN]

ok, a like as soon as I saw the intro and the ship raising...great start to the video.

Keep it up :D

[sanctred]

Love your ship reviews. I’m glad I stumbled on your channel.

You also can acquire one at any time with LTI if you back. $10, 000 and you get a unique skin with it. You also get a second one gold and black skin inside and out with LTI at the $15, 000 backing.

I am less than $500 away from the $15, 000 part. I have been backing this project for 11 years

For those that just freaked out, that comes to a little over $25 a week for 11 years

currently i would upgrade the 4 size 3 to deadbolt 3 ballistic cannon and the 4 size 2 to attrition 2 laser repeaters. this way you maximize the energy while maximizing dps to 4704 or 5700 burst dps

I still prefer the F7A2, but the sleekness of ghe F8C is still great. What I don't like about the F8C is there's too much going on visually in the rear of the ship. If it had much simpler shapes while retaining the overall idea I'd probably have pledged for one.

I also like to imagine that the F8C is the Anvil being influenced by Aegis Sabre.

[HomerSimpson]

I have one of these, and it's honestly so fun to fly around. Definitely has its quirks to figure out.

[DennisSheltonjr]

Bear in mind that this is the c variant, that would be the regular consumer grade. It's not the a model the military grade attack. Like the difference we saw between the sea model of the f7 and the a model of the S7. Squadron 42 is supposed to grant access to the a model of the f8, but we shall see :-)

[valdecirzimbros]

Guns are very widely spaced from wingtip to wingtip so convergence of the guns to all be hitting a small ship like an arrow was always a challenge for me. It was much easier to keep all shots on target against larger ships.

[JClif]

I plan on getting one in the future. I missed out on the last gold ticket event. I plan on trying to find one next event.

[justnoct]

I thought they were going to give you an upgrade to an F8A for SQ42. Pretty sure.

[novalis]

I love this ship with all Dominant scatterguns against medium/large ships; was really fun in those large battle Xenothreat missions with three or more Hammerheads. It was still weak against fighters with that setup, but a good challenge

[novalis]

I feel the SQ42 grant of the F8 will be a military version opportunity; not the Civilian ship we have today. There is a difference; and people seem to have been upset for the wrong reasons when the Civ version was sold

[cyranobuckminster]

I've been sitting on a golden ticket for months. If the rumors about the Corsair are true, I won't spend another dime on this game until they're finished completely screwing up the ships. I want to know what I'm buying. It's akin to going to a Corvette showroom and buying the top of the line Stingray then every few months the Chevrolet folks show up and remove or replace the best parts. "We know we sold you a top-of-the-line model but other drivers are complaining so we're just going to remove your V8 and replace it with this nice 4-cylinder we pulled out of an old Chevette. If you read the contract, it says we can do that. Oh, we're going to need that stereo system too! Don't worry, we have a new sports car coming out next month. It's going to be the best ever. Until it's not."

[jurasic.]

I honestly would trade some firepower for some maneuvering. Calling it the lightning and then having it be slow and cumbersome (especially with it having 8 main thrusters) just hurts my soul. Amazing looking ship tho just wish it was more of the space superiority fighter it was marketed to be.

[wandering.westward]

Just came here after cashing in my first golden ticket. I'm of the major opinion that the only reason to pledge a ship is "cool factor", or how much you like flying the ship, and so far I think the lightning absolutely blows that out of the park.
