And Core Dynamics doesn't just make ships for the Federation (Vulture).
That's my point about whether they can give us ships - similar to Federation and Imperial ships.

Sorry don't get it. Could you write the same but more expresive?
I asked, why the fact that Saud Kruger use Imperal shipyards affects on the fact that Frontier can't give us new Saud Kruger ships. These ships aren't behind rank-wall.
Gutamaya and Core Dynamics create rank-walled ships, except the smallest one - vulture and impreial eagle.
Of course there is still possible that Gutamaya or Core Dynamic will create new ship for all customers, but I mean not particular manufaturer but rank-wall as the fact that it is not good option for frontier, because they need to sell early acces for ships for ARX.

But its has so much internal space. Its one of my favorites meme ships (it would be my daily "small" if only like about 80m/s faster), and its smaller distro aint issue with those hardpoints (placement wise is very good, fixed weps works 100% fine), my Cobra IV is smaller version of my rail cutter. If anything, its only kind of slow (anything can run from it, even big can almost keep with it), but neverless, its a hell one hard tank to tackle, for being small sized, fun meme bulid.Isn't MKIV considerably slower, have smaller jumprange, can't really take advantage of the extra hardpoint due to undersized distro? Yeah, not really a ship for me, the kickstarter veterans can keep itMKIII but perfection improved, and we're talking
Bonus is that its quite rare sight to behold, majority of cmdrs (anyone who started later than 2016) dont have access for it. That being said, I had not taken it out in years out of hangar, even its FSD SCO was delivered by another ship.

The MK IV Cobra is called the mini-Python for a reason.
In a non-competitive game with no winning, it really isn't pay to win. There is zero pressure to buy and you can complete everything in the game within just having bought the game without the extra ships. But it is a nice way for some of us to support the game.
Along that road past the bay where the Exocoetidae play.
The more I think of it, the more I am convinced this is the most plausible conclusion.
And it could be called Narwhal, or Porpoise.
I still fancy Cachalot as a name for it, the size of the creature having no bearing on the size of the ship.The more I think of it, the more I am convinced this is the most plausible conclusion.

Because feds have a medium ship ?? And they smell ... BadlyThe last ona Imperial? Why not Federal?
I don't think so it will be anything behind rank-wall. I think the best option for frontier is something for 10/40th anniversary. Something big, and all-might, like anaconda was in the past.
So it would have to be a Imperial ship since fdev completely knackered the naming conventions and ship size . ( Naval terms a cutter was a smaller ship than the clipper) And then made a med ship too big for a medium landing pad ??? I mean seriously ? it's like meh that will do ....awww poop it doesn't fit
But you are correct if they put it behind a rank wall then all hell would break loose.
Yeah that was sorta my 1st impression as well on page 1 --> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/shes-a-beauty-new-ship-revealed-mandalay.627598/post-10420964
Of course i only fly/land manually and i get lowkey tense just parking my Type-10 .
Wait sorry i'm only 4 months in EliteD , so i'm not familiar with exactly WHY players hate the Cobra mk4 ...? Explain please?
( i personally enjoy that ship btw , for certain tasks )
EDIT ^^ confusion on my part , see subsequent post HERE--> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/shes-a-beauty-new-ship-revealed-mandalay.627598/post-10422313

Last time I did that it cost me all my shields and 60% hull....
If that mountain hadn't jumped out on me at full boost everything would have been dandy...
It isn’t the ship that is hated but its exclusivity, with some upset that FDev haven’t broken their word on it.Yeah that was sorta my 1st impression as well on page 1 --> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/shes-a-beauty-new-ship-revealed-mandalay.627598/post-10420964

The Cobra Mk3 is a different beast.
Hmm...
as you say you're only into Elite for 4 months, you simply can't use the the Cobra Mk IV as it was (and still is) exclusive to those who preordered Horizons back then...(Except you got/bought an old account with access to the CM IV from someone else of course...)
ahhh ok yeah i just researched the topic a bit more on the interwebs and now i understand.
And btw: i was mistaken ... Obviously, only being here 4 months, i do NOT have the Cobra mk4 ship. ( i was confusing it with my VIPER mk4 ship , which to me looks/feels more like a "mini Python" shape style )
See my post directly below yours. We posted at the exact same time, give or take 1 second.Hmm...
(Except you got/bought an old account with access to the CM IV from someone else of course...)
And no, i never got "an old account" so please you can stop with that type of implication thanks.
No problem and no hard feelings, that was just a neutral thought. Didn't intend to implicate anything with it. Sorry
Can be difficult to perceive 'tone' on typed forums sometimes. ( We have voice-memo now for RL phones ... why not for Forum posts? too much eating of cache maybe i dunno )
Sorry again for my mistake & confusion above ^^ .
btw , i just watched this video about Cobra mk3 vs. mk4 version and now i understand better and also i'm guessing maybe that ship is the reason why EliteD started doing ARX "early access" to ships instead of the exclusivity limited access method? ( like Cobra mk4 )
Pretty sure that your neutral thought was suggesting something not allowed under the terms of agreement. So better thought than published.
...sorry...
...not really.....
...oh, and did I mention the DBOBE Bobblehead on its dashboard...?I'll see myself out.....
