I'm a Premium Beta Backer, I clicked "Buy" on the Store site but not the backer site, using a left-handed mouse, am over six feet tall, like cats more than dogs and only shave every other day if I can get away with it.

Please be sure to specifically answer me personally, as to whether I get a Cobra Mk IV, Horizons, Horizons Beta, a different free ship that's not the Cobra Mk IV, a signed "developer design doodles" Frontier beer mat and a date with the staff/board member of my choice.

Then please be sure to personally answer the other 649,999 other customers tonight! It's urgent!

;)
 
Thank thank you Frontier, this is the best present I've gotten in years. I'm so pumped up I might explode of joy.

I feel sorry for Michael, so many questions over and over that to him, must seem obvious.

Michael, any chance of a free paintjob credit in the store for those of use who aren't going to get the £10 discount because we're already getting the expansion?
It's digital stock, so won't cost Frontier anything really, I also didn't get the £5 discount on the XBox version as I don't own an XBox.
 
I purchased the lifetime updates pack at the time I bought the game, so assume I get this update as part of that and I don't have to pay again?

Confusing pricing structure and lots of questions!
 
The deal is the same for both parties. New customers effectively get the base game for the same (or a bit less) than the discount you get for already owning the game.

I bought the game in December for 50€. If I bought Horizons now, it would set me back another 40€ including the discount, totalling 90€. Unless there is something I'm missing, if a new player bought the game + NH now, it would cost them 50€ total. Is 40€ (44% discount) 'a bit less' or is there something we are misundestanding there?

If you own a copy of Elite: Dangerous and a copy of Elite Dangerous: Horizons then you get access to the Cobra MkIV.

Michael

I presume this will be like the FReagle? ie everyone will be able to buy the Cobra MKIV with in game currency if they do not get a free one?


but if someone could confirm that would be fab

thanks

Big massive hugs and thank you to FD. This is is what I (and many) have been after, It is good to see exploration taken seriously. Thank you again.

It's not confusing. Michael has already answered this question multiple times. If you were a premium backer (£100 or more payment) then you automatically get the lifetime pass and the horizons package will be free to you.

You have been playing the game for a year, I can buy WoW for a lot less than all the add on packs combined work it out
