It's not an expansion. Same way LEP holders don't get every single paint job, bobblehead or decal in the store for free.
Cobra 4 wasn't an expansion either, neither were the paid betas.

Unless it's console ?? Sorry I just couldn't resist it . I'm back off to my dark corner now
I'm sorry, I wish it was different!
If you play both Live and Legacy you could cut that in half!
Wait, what?? I can make ARX in Legacy and they add up to my ARX balance in the store??
"...Python Mk II will be available in game for Odyssey players on 7 August for credits at Shipyards across the galaxy..."
Horizons 4.0 LIVE player here.
Where do we fit in on this one? We're not Legacy.
Horizons 4.0 LIVE player here.
Where do we fit in on this one? We're not Legacy.
Yes please make the Cobra MK4 available on the Arx store, I'd buy it!Does this mean the Cobra IV might be available for ARX?
Will LEP or equivalents get the early access I wonder?
From the sounds of it, you'll only have the option to buy it with Arx both before and after August. Of course, the cost of doing so is equivalent to Odyssey itself, so... if you don't already have ten months worth of free Arx saved up...

It was included with Horizons, which LEP holders got for free
So it was part of an expansion
A tenner now, a tenner for the next.....hold on, the first was successful, so why not make it 15 ? And once 4 ships are out, all with early access, it's already almost the total price of an expansion. Just NO. What I was asking for the past few weeks was a release date for the Python MK II. We have that now. The three months wait for the general release is nothing compared to 6 years wait since the last ship.
I can easily afford the ARX required, but I won't support this move. Give me a new ship kit, a paintjob I like, and I'll buy. A ship, even if it comes with paintjob and shipkit ? No.
Horizons 4.0 players will only be able to access the python MK2 by buying it in the Arx store.

It's not an update - it's an in-game item/ship. Horizons was an update, Ody was an update. A new ship, is not, an update, and anyway - it's available in August, so Lepers get access to it anyway, for nothing (in real world cash terms). That remains free, as per the LEP.
Want it sooner? Buy some arx, otherwise you'll get it in August - there was never anything in the LEP stuff about not getting early access to something you'd get anyway.
Remember that the original store text for the LEP was:"For a limited time only, players will be able to purchase a Lifetime Expansion Pass granting access to all current and future Seasons of Elite: Dangerous. The Lifetime Expansion Pass also includes access to all Elite: Dangerous Beta builds to gain an early glimpse at upcoming game content before release plus exclusive content."
Nothing about future early access to ships.

...may I see your source on Elite having not made any money in the last decade? Obviously Frontier's own financial reports won't do, they say otherwise.
That's odd, they were an expansion in your last post.
Frontier have come up with something original in ED terms, free content that requiries payment to access on launch day.

And where specifically is that not permitted under the LEP?
(And I've never said the Py2 is an expansion - linky if you have one please. If you mean the Cobra Mk IV that was a reward for buying the Horizons expansion, which LEP holders got automatically, but that's not the same as a one off new ship which is not associated with an expansion per se)

Plus exclusive content. The Python II is definitely exclusive content.
