Does anyone know when the T6 Odysseys are coming to console?

I think the T6 Odyssey ships are beautiful and I really want one. Does anyone know when they will be available for purchase on console? The number of t6 ships available on console is very limited right now. I want to fly somewhat of a tac focus cruiser and I'd considered getting the eclipse, but it's almost too hard to look at, ugh.

    The short answer is "when they get here". No-one really knows what will be released to console or when. Console is missing a lot of ships right now, on all 3 sides.

    Cryptic tends to release ship information only in the week of the release.

    Sometimes people on PC managed to reverse engineer the existence of ship models months ahead of their release, but that helps nothing for consoles. (And it also doesn't help much on PC, but it's nice to know.) - and the reverse engineering is against the EULA, so such sites tend to disappear or become inaccessible.

    Didnt they say that console content is 2yrs behind PC content?
    If true the T6 Odyssey will appear in approx 1.5 years on console. Since it appeared approx 6mo ago on PC.

    Dear god, that is totally not true!!! What was said by the Devs was that console would always be 3 to 4 months behind PC due to "Certification" process that they have to go through with Microsoft and Sony!​​

    Several of the missing T6s are significantly older than 4 months, including some released when Delta Rising came out almost two years ago (Mat'Ha Raptor off the top of my head, as an example), so that 3 to 4 month statement doesn't apply to ships at the very least. Granted, the incorrect 2 year content gap wouldn't apply either, as T6s didn't go live in game until Oct 2014.

    I'm not sure what the hold up is on ship releases, my guess is likely a mix of holding back the good stuff so the OK stuff has time to sell, dealing with some ship sets having consoles from Event ships not yet available on PS4/XBOne (this would include the T6 Oddys, as the Event Krenim Sci ship is part of the Flagship set), making sure all models/textures are updated for the new lightning system, and just random bugs.
