Black friday stuff
- Thread starter Wyldwiisel
- Start date
People should just do that anyway so they have to make money from making expansion packs instead of silly micro transactions.
Other opinions are available.
Sure are. They are objectively wrong though (just kidding)
They could also do a "preorder" deal for black mamba paint if 3.3 doesn't drop before Black Friday. You preorder a black mamba paintjob and kit and you also get the cobra Mk IV for PC & PS4, since many on PC also missed out on the horizons pre-order, not just PS4 cmdrs. (or better yet, just save it for pre-ordering an upcoming 2019 or 2020 "Elite: Atmospheres & Cities" DLC )
Yes, just the krait mk2...
And the chieftain, and the challenger and the crusader, and the mamba, and the T-10, and the Krait Phantom.
Chances are, it'll follow the same schedule as last year:
- Frontier won't address it on the forum because of their unrealistic expectation that people would remember when the Black Friday sales happened in all the preceding years.
- A group of players will accuse Frontier of "shoddy business practices" because they would have put it up sooner.
- Another group of players will remind the first group that Frontier has been perfectly consistent and reliable and there's no reason to panic.
- Thursday night will arrive, and cross into Friday at midnight in the Eastern Standard timezone. Black Friday sales have not appeared on the store by 12:01am EST. Panic ensues.
- Accusations will be made by some players that Frontier "does not care about" and "disrespects" their customers, and will cite as evidence that nothing has appeared in the store by 12:10am.
- Reminders will be given by other players that at 12:10am EST it's still hours before people even wake up in the UK, and normal business hours come much later. And that "Black Friday" is the day after a holiday not celebrated at all in the EU.
- By the time 12:am Friday reaches the Pacific Standard Timezone, full-blown panic will ensue, accusations and denial will set fire to the forums.
- After what is honestly a fairly SHORT time later, at a reasonable hour, Frontier will put up their Black Friday sale stuff on the store, and there will be much rejoicing, spending, and tears of joy that Frontier has not forgotten the players, despite evidence showing there was no reason or cause to believe they had.
- A few hours later, the first complaints about how much things cost on the Frontier store, despite there being no change in pricing from preceding years.
- A week later, the first complaints about how some "missed out" on the sale and that it wasn't fair, and that the things should be available year round
- A month later, everyone will forget all about it again till a week before next Black Friday.
Nothing about PvP enthousiasts whining about black friday skins being an unfair advantage? I'm disappoint [big grin]

And the guardian fighters!
Nice try. But you can't ever have the Cobra mkIV. That's prohibited by law...
/totally serious face
Maybe they should just release a Cobra mk 5 on PS4 and Xbox only same spec and looks as the MK4 just not available on PC
Can someone tell me how long they were available for in previous years? I might not get a chance to buy any over the weekend.
I believe they were only available till the Monday after Black Friday
It wouldn't stop the demands for the release of the cobra mk4.
Back in my day, a sale was a proper sale.
Would be more fun if the released the Mk4 then made a locked Mk5 for the people that had the Mk4 as compensation.

I guess there still would be people complaining the Cobra IV got released to the public and FD altered the deal
Edit wants to ask: AWTY?
Every day is sale day for me - occupation: Professional shop lifter
If I can get an inside man to let me into Frontiers warehouse for 30 min, I'll meet you down the pub and sell you some BF paint jobs, cheap if you don't ask silly questions..
you ain't seen me...right
Brett C told me to move this: (source)

And a Tactical Graphite INTERIOR to cover up this nasty red inside the Phantom...

BLACK FRIDAY SALE CONFIRMED!

Let's not stop at the lines. Id like to get rid of all the red. It looks like some dirty Fed ship.

Changing the red interior of the Phantom would be the nicest cosmetic thing I could think of at the moment. Such a beautiful ship and then it's painted red inside.
