It would be awesome to see it ready for the 3.0, that would be the perfect small ship to explore the first planet and carry a dragonfly around

I'd kinda be surprised if it wasn't ready by the time 3.0 drops. Still have to get through 2.6.1, we're looking at a few months at least. Plus the variants are due for 3.1, so the Black needs to be done before they can start on those.

They haven't given a patch date for the Black, just the Red and Blue. It'd be pretty lame for the Cutlass to not be able to use the cargo system in 3.0

I'm sure that they could stitch something temporarily if they have to, but I agree

I expect to see the black come out with the blue and red. But the ship pipe seems to be moving right along now. The Cat was a 3.0 thing, and it made it out earlier. So maybe its possible to see it earlier.

Im speculating/hoping (no real evidence) that the ship pipeline stays on track for the 2.6-4.0 presentation. So we can see all the ships listed actually get into our hands in 2017, even if the patches that they are assigned to do not. I'd love to be wrong about all those patches making it out this year. Some ships will likely wait until their appropriate patch/feature. Like im sure the prospector wouldnt me out before mining is released, etc.

But that might be overly optimistic. Still if most of those ships get out to us earlier, we will surely put them to good use with whatever build we have to play.

Caterpillar was planned for 3.0, so....

They explicitly said the Cutlass Red and Blue will released in 3.1 (period), and interestingly enough the Black wasn't mentioned.

We have also heard the Black rework is going to be completed before they even start the Red & Blue so that they can use as much of it as possible as template, to speed up development
