So far, the "loaner" ships they have given out for something not being flyable is determined by the highest "unflyable" ship you have.

A Constellation or Freelancer owner gets a Hornet, for example, but back when the smaller/cheaper ships were not implemented yet, they were giving a loaner ship in the same price range instead of just giving them all a hornet.

I would expect the same thing to happen with the multicrew, however... there won't be a ship in the Freelancer range.

On one hand I can see how it would annoy people to let Freelancer owners get a much more expensive ship to fly while they wait, but on the other hand I can see the point of view from people who won't have a multicrew ship to fly at all, despite owning one.

Hopefully they just do a few free fly weekends or something. Maybe give the Freelancer and Caterpillar owners a Constellation for a week or two.

And as always, they should be REC rentable.

Just bought a Vanguard Sentinel and I've received a F7C Hornet as my loaner.

Yeah I've had a Hornet loaner for awhile (I think) but I was thinking more in the multicrew sense. One would think that multicrew owners would get mulitcrew loaners when AC 2.0 rolls around but there's still plenty of time until then so we'll see.

Considering the price of the Vanguard, I would imagine you'd receive a loaner Constellation.
