I bet the next pre-order offer will be taken up with far more enthusiasm, now that players know that 'exclusive' means 'exclusive'.

As it should be. But in our day and age when everybody gets a prize I'm not holding my breath about the 'exclusive' part.

Pardon me, as an original backer, does this mean I get a Cobra MkIV or just the option to buy one from somewhere like Shinrarta? Apologies, I've been away from the game for a long time.

I think the only "free" ships I've had are:

- Starting Sidewinder
- Eagle
- Cobra MkIII
- Viper MkIV
- Imperial Eagle

I personally sold the Eagle, kept the Cobra MkIII as a trophy, kitted out and played with the Imperial Eagle and Viper MkIV before going back to my Asp Explorer I bought before getting those last two gifted to me.

Thanks for clarifying

To clarify; If it was left with me I'd give everyone the ship. It's the concept of 'exclusive' I think is important. Once you state 'exclusive', that's it. It's getting washed out.

Nevermind. A topic for another day. Happy New Year, my fellow cmdrs! ♥

Rather than release the Cobra MKIV to everyone, what they should do instead is release a brand new ship, but with the exact stats and internals etc as the Cobra 4. The only reason I want the Cobra 4 is because I like the number of internals it has for a small ship. But if another ship matched it, I would happily use that instead.

This way, the exclusive bunch are happy with their exclusive Cobra.

Everyone should have access to the Mk IV. Failing that, perhaps you could pinch mine when we get space legs.

Regardless whether some consider it crap or not, it should, or a copy ship should be available to those who would like it. I don't care how terrible it is to fly. I'm interested in the internals considering it's a small ship and would be cheap. Unlike a T9.
