Player Pilotable Tridents Available for Testing!

Apr 01, 2011 Dr. Lecter link
Any pilot with levels of 7/7/7/7/7 or higher is currently able to dock with the new cappie station in Latos, and the station interface has a single "Test Pilot Trident Mk II" mission in it. Taking the mission will result in launching from the cappie station bays in a white painted Trident, which is pilotable as normal (moves like a pig, no turbo) from a position viewing from the cockpit!

There's some sort of cool-down timer on retaking the mission, I'm guessing 8 hours based on my observations this morning. This is per pilot, not an absolute limit on the number of people who can be flying one at a time.

All I can say is (1) awesome, (2) awesome, (3) about Goddamn time, (4) Inc. was right about how terribly useless and hard to drive they are, and (5) still awesome.

Check your calendar - on no other day would I have said (1)-(2) or (4)-(5).

I fucking hate april fools! I actually, to my utter embarrassment, logged on and went into the capship docks thinking I could dock and take the mission....
