== Development ==
With players datamining game files all the time, CIG decided to put fake data in the game files to be mined as part of [[Update:Star Citizen Alpha 3.22.1|patch 3.22.1]] in February 2024, fostering speculation, which was later revealed to be the rubbish vehicle as an April Fool's joke.<ref>"[https://twitter.com/ItsHowbrick/status/1774809821684097351 Oh man a file leak from CIG showed off the name of a secret new ship they're developing]", @ItsHowbrick, Twitter, Apr 1, 2024</ref> Nevertheless, in May 2025 [[StarCitizen:Tyler Witkin|Zyloh]] answered a reddit post where a player said he was waiting for it with "Be careful what you wish for... ;)" and in July 2025 the Raptor became earnable as part of the new referral program despite being still in development and to be delivered at a later date.<ref>"[https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1kn5p58/comment/msgk6p6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Be careful what you wish for... ;)]", u/CaptainZyloh, reddit, May 15, 2025</ref><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/20643-Introducing-The-New-Referral-Program|text=Introducing the New Referral Program|accessdate=2025-06-26}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
Anyone who tried to purchase the vehicle or paints on the presentation page was brought to another page advising them that it was a [[StarCitizen:Triggerfish]] joke and that they have received a 'Swept Away' title badge for their profile.
