Or maybe you offer something that more people might want, a semi useless curio ship that everyone thinks is so amazing, yet sits under a pile of dust.
If everything was pure charity, you would not need a livestream at all.

Well how else do you respond to "pure backers"?
Frankly a pathetic attempt at irony, humor or both in some pointless game of one-upmanship on a forum. Well done, you win one imaginary dollar.
I like it. Best solution that could be bulletproof get. You should join the strategy team of something.
The cobra mk4 is an anaconda in small size. Really anything extra is throwing the baby out.
I don't think so. For the cobra 4 any offering (regardless of the disguise to pacify certain people, likely white knights) would be a direct single minded purchase. Nothing else going on there.

You want to lever it's exlusivity by making no longer exclusive? Right.
Er- before the hypothetical livestream it would be exclusive. During the livestream you could buy it. Hence, "exclusivity to be used as leverage in a meaningful way".
Good morning.
Just checking: you do know the original post was a suggestion from Rubbernuke, not something FDev had announced they were actually doing?
I don't get what the problem is. Have we reached "forever"? Who cares!
I have several CM4s, and they're ok for module storage I guess, but I don't fly them 'cos they're pants. Some folk attach value to having 1 of each ship-type, and I can see that being denied that curious goal must be vexing. I don't need an exclusive ship to feel special, I already know that I'm special. (yes, 'cos my Mum told me I am).
Maybe detractors of RubberNuke's idea just want to be able to fly the CM4 to show people who can't fly it that they are the special ones, because their Mum's forgot to tell them that they're also special. Take it from me, we're all special. (Also, none of us are special (ref: Fight Club))

A wonderful Idea Rubber! as you say those who need it get the help they need. to make this system beneficial to players who join over the next few years this charity event could be annual. meaning once a year everyone gets a chance at it...forever!
I would personally make it 8-10 Pounds though (here that's 16-20 AUD) which is much larger without being remotely outrageous of the ship. so long as this does not become a exploit for FDev to sell ships exclusively in the future. Just the MK4
hehe, came up with a new charity for it.... "The Mark 4 Change!!!"

So does the 'selfish monsters' tag apply to all exclusive owners, or is it specially reserved for the MkIV owners?
i do. he's joking, and so am i. all good!
isn't that the purpose of cm4 threads in the first place?
Lot's of people commited financially to the game before it existed. They in fact made the game a reality.
Some people commited to an addon also and they got access to the mk4.
It's exclusive, do you have one?
But then it would no longer be exclusive, once you open it up to players other than the players it was promised to as an exclusive extra it's no longer exclusive. You haven't leveraged it's exclusiveness, you've removed it's value to the orginal purchasers who should then be refunded the money they spent.
Only those who see value in hoarding useless trinkets.

Funny how so many people want to get their hands on a useless trinket.
Yes I do. And I think its time others got the opportunity as well while helping a good cause.
Its exclusive now. The livestream would allow you to get it. After the livestream its less exclusive than it was. Its not that hard to understand? How much 'worth' is in a ship anyway?
Because they want to try it out. If people want to do that in a good cause why not?
