Can console players at least get the Scorpion SRV?

[Bonesaw]

"Choice is yours" is complete bull. Console players never HAD a choice in any of this. "Buy a $700 PC or screw off" is not a choice, and considering the complete lack of Space Sims on both Xbox and PS (Elite and NMS are the only two I can think of), there's no variety anywhere on consoles for ED players to flock to. It's a product of Frontier's lazy development and overpromising focusing more on hyping a DLC than actually making it work. And rather than dial bugfixing it up to 11 and repair the problems THEY caused. Instead they screw over two entire platforms because they can spend less effort on fixes by taking advantage of the sheer power of the average gaming PC, just so they can do budget cuts and slack off. And also considering next-gen consoles wont receive Odyssey either, Console players are completely screwed over and getting the -end of the stick from something Frontier has done. So no, there is no choice here, just clueless and entitled PC players who keep failing to understand just how unlucky these people are.

Funny thing is they are still charging 30$ for the game on Xbox marketplace !?

PS4 does have good antialiasing though. The jaggy lines on PC are something else. I thought I'd set the graphics wrong for ages.
I'm currently watching my messages fill up with invites from the engineers...
Do I consider the PC account to be my main yet? Do I sign up for Cytoscramblers?
I've duplicated my Python and T9 (minus the engineering) got a full set of foot gear at grade 2 and now looking for specific mods...
Still got a bit of button mapping to do. I'm using a Thrustmaster Hotas and Xbox pad (to heck with kb/m).

Quick update on this; Apparently I already have access to the first tier of engineers (ships) and they unlock as soon as I get the invite message (1st requirement) despite never having passed through their systems yet...
Quick tip for those starting out on PC;
Don't buy gear at G1, the only G1 item worth buying is an Artemis suit for explorers.
Combat gear should start at G2 which is common enough to get a full set in a reasonable time.

I've abandoned it at G4... too much grind and random drops, more over there's litterally no use of heavy engineered legs gear.

FDev never "promised" anything and if some players want to take everything FDev ever said they would like to have in the game as a promise, those players will get what they deserve.

this is as close to a promise as one can get

I'd agree with that. Currently the plan is to get my modded G2 gear to G3.

Even with the modest aim of G3 the insanity of Odyssey mats is unavoidable.
Suits will need power regulators, the recommended method is to get into a settlement powerplant past armed guards, kill the technician and shut down the settlement power...
There's also one in the back of an SRV, apparently we can't buy a bunch and strip them for parts...
