Yes exactly, it's just a mistake on the store page as I said in my first post. There was a MkI in the original game, I didn't play the others as much but I believe it was in FE2 too.

Yes, you are right, I misread your post. That should answer the OP's question though, wonder if FD will correct the store description.
Yes, they don't care about their fans one iota!Have they fixed the Python Wireframe Skin? Same answer
Maybe Jameson had a hidden life ?
Obviously, Jameson's Cobra was a Mk1 Mk3 whereas we're flying, em.... a newer Mk3. [where is it]
Also, since FDev clearly have the models for the Jameson-era Mk3, it might be nice if they stuck it in-game as a buyable/flyable ship.
Ideally, they could make it the vanilla alternative to the CM4.
Give it the 8 slots that come in handy for building a mini-miner but make it slower and weaker than a Mk3, reflecting it's obsolete design.

I am not sure that the old canopy works well with VR.
Paige admitted on the Monday livestream that they got the description wrong, it should be a mk3, and that they would correct it.
3 days later....
The Cobra MKIII was around when you play Elite as Jameson, and the only ship you can fly in.
By the way what ever happened to the Mk 2 ?
Read right above your posting.
It's a Mk I. Not a Mk I version of the Mk III, but just a Mk I. The similarities in shape are irrelevant. Look at a Spitfire LF.Mk IX, and compare it to a Spitfire F.Mk 22. Body style same, the difference being the larger Griffin engine and bubble cockpit of the Mk 22. The difference between the Cobras is pretty much the same: different engines (including an FSD in the Mk III, something the Mk I didn't even have, hyperspace/supercruise are completely new to Elite as of ED) and different cockpits.
What I liked about finding Jameson's ships was the fact it had a single hard-point at the front of the ship, just like the MK III had in Frontier. I think someone worked out that it would have been a Size-3 hard point.
If it was in the game, would you want to fly it?

Now you're just trolling.
Maybe read a few posts above you, including the recap of what Paige Harvey said.
It's a Mk III.
If the shape was irrelevant, it wouldn't be shaped like a Mk III and not a Mk I.
What on earth are you going on about?
By your logic, a Messerschmitt BF109 must also be a Mk1 Spitfire since it looks nothing like a Mk3 Spitfire and has a different engine and different characteristics.
*EDIT*
More sensibly, it'll be interesting to see how/if FDev come up with an "official" way to differentiate between the same ships from different eras.
Maybe they could classify them by "series" or, perhaps, by the place of manufacture?

After making my post, I went back to read what people had been saying in the thread. I was about to edit my post, proclaiming my error, my MISTAKE, and move on, glad that I'd learned something today. I'm still glad that I've learned something today.
But trolling? You just went right for that one, didn't you. Not even the slightest hesitation. Did you know it's possible for people to just be wrong? It's even possible for them to admit it. Maybe don't jump to the assumption that everyone who posts something that's wrong does so with malicious intent, and grow up.
No, that's not my logic at all. The BF 109 has nothing in common with the Mk1 Spitfire. Aesthetically or otherwise.
Just as the Mk1 Cobra has nothing in common with the Mk3.
You know, it is customary to read the thread before replying to it, so you know what's it all about.
Yes I did. Sorry about that. Reading a thread, where a certain fact has been questioned and the questioning refuted 100% right before a ludicrous post, what would you think (remember, this is the internet)? First: trolling. Second (some time later): maybe they didn't read the thread and just went for OP? Rude and immature - - -> trolling?
Possible? Yes. Internet => improbable.
Lol, you too!
