These look like they'll be one-time limited edition ships.  I just noticed the OP found them under Limited Edition Ships folders on the test server.
I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way. |

Yah... but we're talking test server too. Honestly, I've been following spaceships for a while now and I honestly think there's only a few people at CCP who even know what ships go in what category. The database category's mean nothing to them. At all. One thing to note too is that there is no "market" category for rookie ships. I mean, these faction rookie ships could easilly be reclassified as frigates.
I'll give you a good example: The Apotheosis. Lets take a walk down memory lane: The model started out as the SOCT1 frigate, a ship that still exists today under the T1 frigate category. Then they issued it as a shuttle. Then they put it on the market as a frigate. Then it was a special edition frigate... a category it's still in today despite it being a shuttle and there being a "special shuttle" section for it now.
CCP just isn't concerned with labels. Maybe it'll be a one-time issue thing, maybe it won't. What I can say is that the category it's in on the test sever isn't the deciding factor. In fact... it's not a factor at all.

For that matter, in the name of "cleaning up the market" they moved non-capitals (ships that do not require nor are affected by capital skills, are able to use jump gates, are able to enter high-sec, and are able to built in high-sec) into the capital ships category, confusing countless newbies that don't know better (and even some oldbies.) |

If you are referring to freighters, I think of it not in terms of what the actual capabilities are, but what they look like in space. The way I would categorize ships would be broad... T2, T3, Faction, and T1 cruisers would all simply go under the heading "cruisers", for example. Freighters are huge. I've always considered them capitals, even if they can't jump and can use gates. I mean... you can jam 16 BS into a freighter....

Those rookie frigates have life of 14 days or month as far as I know/was told.
So only rookie can use it or something like that.
Anyone can confirm that? |

I can confirm that this isn't true. They will be in your hanger as long as you leave them there.
