Development
- The original StarCitizen:F7A Hornet was created by StarCitizen:CGBot and it was used in the first pitch video of StarCitizen:Star Citizen in the StarCitizen:Kickstarter campaign in 2012. Because F7A will be featured in StarCitizen:Squadron 42 as a hero ship, in 2016, StarCitizen:CIG decided to update the F7A Hornet to current standard since its mesh is still the old CGBot model.
- The F7A Mk2 Hornet is designed by StarCitizen:Chris Smith (Lead Vehicle Artist) in StarCitizen:CIG Austin. The idea was to keep the original Hornet F7 MK1 series in the game and then add the F7A MK2 model, modelled completely new from the ground up with the latest techniques and pipeline procedures in 2016, as StarCitizen:Chris Roberts thought it would be cool to have the classic Hornet and the new version run side by side, and players would have the opportunity to keep the old MK1 as a classic collectors item.<ref>Script error: No such module "Cite RSI".</ref>
Invictus Launch Week
- During the 2950 StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week, the ship was seen accompanying the StarCitizen:UEE Navy fleet around the StarCitizen:Stanton system. Several Hornets, together with StarCitizen:F8A Lightnings accompanied a StarCitizen:Javelin, and two StarCitizen:Idris-M's.<ref>Alpha 3.9.1 in-game survey during StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week</ref>

It has only been given out to a few individuals in the 2017 Combo Pack Raffle but it could only be spawned in the hangar and was not flyable.<ref>So I own an F7A.
