To be honest, no. I really want that ship but it's clear that no matter what someone is going to be annoyed either way.
I think fdev will do one of two things.
1. Unlock the ship
2. Never, ever, ever even bring it up.

What has that got to do with this? Or is it you have a chip on your shoulder about something else?
Except this is quite achievable with whats about.
Some chance that is well communicated is enough. Then you can legitimately say you missed the boat. If its on the launcher window like the festive countdown skins then there is no excuse is there?
But it is for everyone, whoever donates gets access.
Or make it count for something- LEP holders threw money at FD to get the CM4, now you ask for a nominal donation to a good cause and get the same.
Like that makes a difference in this place?
You could, which would be a shame and a waste.
Then you can say "you missed it", but having a chance is better than not having one at all. Some people did not get a say in it first time round.
Its never a problem for FD because they can sit and do nothing. I thought it would be a nice opportunity to get something good out of it.
No chance at all if you weren't an original backer.
Let me know if you do, and I'll be sure to follow you.
Unless FDev change that and release it to others. Which is the point that's being gone over and over and over on all these threads. "No chance at all" is one point of view, but it doesn't seem to have ended the debate, strangely.
I get the impession it is the forum community management team laying down salt for the winter.
There is no debate.
It's one "I WANT" thread after another.
Pardon me if this sounds stupid, but what is "the launcher window"? Are you just referring to things with periodic returning availability?
You need at least a day to properly engineer it. And then you'd still have no time to use it.
I noticed a few times already that you got that bit wrong. Being an original backer has nothing to do with the Cobra IV at all, it was for preordering Horizons within a certain timeframe.
I SAID ONE HOUR
And I said that's not enough to judge it
Yes. And in each one cases are made as to why those who want the Cobra IV should have it; and by those who don't want them to have it as to why they shouldn't.
That's a debate.
Haha, I'm only playing.And I said that's not enough to judge it
Fdev should just unlock it. They'll survive the faux outcry that, evidently from these threads, will happen.
I stand by my OG opinion. Just a ship. I really dont get why the people who pre ordered the DLC care too much because it was so long ago it came out. So much life and change happens in all that time.
The argument is that because Frontier said a thing several years ago that thing represents a binding contract, a mandate that cannot be overridden even by the parties who initially signed the contract. Whether or not the offer that was made and the act of taking up the offer actually constitute a 'contract' of any meaningful sort is another issue.
But the main thrust is that it doesn't matter if conditions have changed over the last three years, or whatever; it doesn't matter whether the parties involved have now changed their minds. What was said then is now and forever inviolable writ and, no matter what the changes or disadvantages that have since or may still come to light, the original terms cannot and must not be altered lest the entire concept of trust itself is irrevocably destroyed.
Actually, that...
Hmmm.
No, sorry. Carry on.

I don't know. I flew the Type-7 for one cargo run and that was enough to make the judgement, of selling it and flying a Sidewinder, back to where I came from.And I said that's not enough to judge it
My apologies. I'll try to do better. You asked:
The argument I have seen most often is that the ship cannot be unlocked for everyone because FDev initially provided it as an incentive and stated it would be exclusive to those who qualified. Those who object to the release of the ship assert that removing that exclusivity at this stage would render the initial incentive meaningless and completely undermine FDev's reputation for trustworthiness and honesty.
I hope that reply is less ambiguous.

The above facts, have been pointed out, a number of times; in all of these Cobra IV threads. Just because people don't like, or choose to ignore, said facts. Does not make them any less valid.
That said: Someone pointed out that probably none of us who agreed to said contract, can find any written evidence, of said contract.
Thank you. You was serious.
What I dont understand is it's importance after such a long time.
