Cobra IV for PC players !

In event of Odyssey NOT coming to consoles, and no new ships added for a LONG TIME !
MAYBE as appreciation gift from fdev Cobra IV should come to PC players of today?

 

[varonica]

Pass the I have a Bingo line!

I'm ok if they put the Cobra IV but only if they promise in exchange that they'll never add the Panther Clipper.
Joking ofc, I don't care about ships at all

There are many ships in game I have never owned or will ever own, I am not a collector, but I do have experience with people who have to have every special mount, pet and outfit in a game..........oh well.

I was amazed when I started Elite, you could choose between 30 ships, but 90% of Cmdrs I met were flying FDL or Cutter, lol.

Would be much funnier is if everyone who had a CM4 was flying a CM4.... imagine how much salt that would generate.

They should allow Cmdrs to own only one ship. And the ship should be randomly chosen when you buy the game.

I have FC and 3 ships for various tasks: Diamondback Explorer for planetary exploration (with SRV), Anaconda for space exploration and conducting FC while relocating (like a space shuttle) and Python for tritium mining, possibly trading - hard, capacious and medium sized so you can land anywhere. And I'm not planning any more ships.

It does have a nice default paint scheme

I'd like to see more exclusive ships, it would give those that missed out on the Cobra MkIV a chance to have an exclusive ship of their own that others don't have.

 

[Ryox]

Oh my bad, I didn't know it was an existing ship that was an exclusive. That's why I was making jokes about Panther Clipper. I learnt something new today. Thanks OP!

• The Cobra MkIV is an exclusive reward for Elite Dangerous players who upgraded to Elite Dangerous: Horizons during its first year.[2] It is only available to PC players who purchased Horizons before February 5, 2016 (this also includes Lifetime Expansion Pass holders), and to Xbox One players who purchased the Horizons season pass before July 30, 2016. Players who met these requirements can obtain the ship in-game from stations using credits.[3] PlayStation 4 players currently do not have any means to access the Cobra MkIV. Frontier Developments has no plans to make the Cobra MkIV available to other players.

The illusion of choice in a post-scarcity setting.

I might have my CMDR buy one again, but doing what he's been doing, few people are likely to see it.

 

[MacHurto]

I still have 12 ship models I haven't found a use for. Only ones I have repeated are the Cutter, the Keelback, the Python and the T-7. Will probably repeat the Krait and the Anaconda when I get into AX fighting.

What niche can the Cobra Mk4 take that is not already done by other ships?

What if you could have one but you'd never be allowed to change it?

 

[Northpin]

Hell, yea, i'd really want a Cobra Mk4.
Best ship for running Odyssey ground missions.
Also one of the best tritium mining ships (subsurface) for jump-to-jump small scale mining (Assuming they will ever fix the PWA)

other than that...

 

[Rebel Yell]

Ah

I have one... used for module storage when cascade cannons were broken

 

[R-Irish]

I'm genuinely curious as to how much it costs Frontier to create and introduce a new ship... I haven't a clue about that kind of thing, but I guess there are some financial considerations otherwise they'd be popping them out here and there. There must be R&D costs, design costs, manpower, time invested, etc etc It's easy for scam citizen because they sell them and made a business out of it, but ED can't charge for ships and it would need to have a return to make it financially viable. At least that's my laymans understanding of it.

It's definitely about financial considerations and how much manpower they are willing to allocate. Over the last year the art department has been busy with dusting off the Scorpion and Orthrus, adding the stargoids, the caustic mine/generator thingies and who knows what else.

The illusion of choice...

Slightly OT, but can you tell me: What's the difference between making choices in a deterministic Universe and making free choices (as in free Willy)? It seems to me that Shoppenhauer was onto something. In that case the Nobel Price in Physics this year was given as a "statement" based on false or lacking premises, being that scientists have free will when they decide to make a measurement or not. As in, QM isn't that "mysterious", as long as you are willing to "give up the illusion of free will". The more I think about it, the harder it is to understand what we "give up". Unless you have a time machine, free will doesn't matter. You can't unring a bell.

I like to be different
