The [[Anvil Aerospace|Anvil]] '''F8C Lightning''' is the civilian variant of the [[F8A Lightning]] space superiority fighter that is used by the [[United Empire of Earth Navy]]. It closely mimics the military specs of the original F8A, and has been used in lines of defense against [[Vanduul]] invaders. It was made available in extremely limited numbers to the civilian market by Anvil to celebrate the debut of the F8A in the UEE Navy.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Gz5LW2ekd-f8c-lightning|text=Galactapedia: F8C Lighting}}</ref> |

|CIG released the F8C Lightning from its pre-Squadron 42 "spoiler" lock to Concierge owners on 10 October 2023 in [[Star Citizen Alpha 3.20.0b|Alpha 3.20.0b]].<ref name="Hunt">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19208-The-Hunt-Is-On|text="The Hunt Is On"|accessdate=2024-01-20}}</ref> At the same time, a special event was held where players could obtain access to the F8C in several ways:<ref name="Hunt" /> One was obtaining a [[CDF F8C Certification Pass (Gold)|gold license]], looted from crates in the [[PU]]. When you turned this into a rental kiosk, the player would gain access to an F8C for 24 hours, and be able to purchase the ship on the [[Pledge Store]]. |

|A special Platinum paint along with an F8C was on offer by obtaining a platinum license, which was only available by taking it from [[CIG]] developers in-game. Once obtained, all other players across the server will be alerted to your location. If the player manages to bring it to a ship dealership, they could obtain permanent ownership of the F8C, with [[LTI]]. |
