It's available forever as long as you buy Horizons before the end of July.Sorry if this has already been asked. How long do we have to purchase it?

He do it three times and nothing.
So...people are complaining, because an entirely separate user group that didn't have a chance to get the Cobra MkIV, are now getting that chance, and it in no way impacts the previous user group? Let's look at this.
PC players who were early adopters got exclusive access to the MkIV, while it was unavailable to Xbox players.
Now, Xbox players who are early adopters get access to the MkIV, while nobody new on PC is able to get it.
I really don't see the problem here. If you're playing on PC, why are you mad about a different PLATFORM getting access to the Cobra MkIV? Nobody new on PC will have it, that exclusivity is guaranteed; this is in no way affecting what the PC players were told their MkIV is exclusive. Are you saying that Xbox shouldn't get an equal opportunity when the same content finally arrives on that platform? The PC players do not see Xbox players in the game world, so what difference does it make?
See, what I'm really hearing is that Xbox CMDRs shouldn't receive equal treatment as PC CMDRs, and if you want to be against equality, be my guest.

I have two consoles im trying to play on the non home console And it won't work help?!??
Truthfully, I think the only reason there hasn't been any kind of 'outcry' at all about it is that most people recognise these kind of deals happen every single day not only in computer games but in virtually every other area of retailing.
Remember the Horizons black paint set - the one that gave players a black paintjob for every single ship in the game? That was tied in to 'Black Friday' in that you had to pre-order Horizons on PC and do so before a particular date in order to get it.
Black Friday is a US thing. It's specifically defined as being the Friday after Thanksgiving - we even don't have Thanksgiving in the UK, here we call it 'some Thursday in November' yet for some reason (mainly the fact that high street retailers are under the cosh in a way they have never been before) in the last two years some retailers in the UK have decided to adopt Black Friday as 'a thing'. All it means to me is a chance to laugh at chavs fighting over some turd 32" telly in Tesco on the evening news, yet despite its complete and utter irrelevance in this country, FD decided to tie a set of ship paints to it. Precisely because it's a complete and utter non-event to me (and pretty much everybody else I know) I wasn't aware of it which means that despite the fact I did pre-order Horizons, giving FD my cash for it before it was released, I didn't get a full set of paints for my ships because I didn't give them my cash for the update far enough before it was released.
Do I think it sucks? Oh hell yeah. Really, I do.
Do I accept that it's ultimately up to them what offers they make, when and to whom? Yeah. That's the nature of special offers.
True story. I went to Tesco yesterday for some juice. They had 1.75L cartons of Tropicana on offer at £2.49, which is cheap. However I don't like bits in my orange juice and some evil swine had bought all the cartons of smooth, meaning they only had juice with hateful bits in left at this wonderful price. What do you think I did?
a) Rage at the store manager about the fundamental unfairness of the offer because I couldn't get to the store any earlier, meaning that I missed out on loading up with gallons of delicious bit-free orange juice?
b) Shrug and buy some at the normal price?
That's life. Sometimes it sucks.
I bet it was Zac who bought all the orange juice though.

She wasn't in Tesco in Oldham yesterday was she? The cow.
OJ with bits in is the devil's work though. I don't like to chew my drinks.
As for your black Courier mate, take those screenshots by all means. Then you can print them out, roll them up and, well do you remember that picture you got a one week forum holiday for posting? You get the idea I'm sure.
Here is the news which sounds as the equality for the whole community
You would be truly stunned how many people take the A route. Seriously.
For anyone looking to get the cobra mkIV use this site.

I wouldn't at all mate. I'd be truly amazed if any of them actually benefited from it though.
For the people saying the ship is junk though, depends what you want to do with it. I have one built as a ship for planetside missions and short-range expoloration and it's a great ship for that role due to the vast number of module slots it has in a relatively small package.

I can agree with you on the issue of planetside, but I have only experienced with Sidewinder, Eagle, Cobra Mk3. I Loved the looks and style of the Mk4 but it just wasn't able to handle the out of control interdictions and vastly overpowered NPCS this morning. Of course after the first death I should have known something was going on, but when your down to your last 125k not able to finish a simple Data run for 4k its a tad frustrating.
Wish I could have a Skin of the MK 4 and put it on the Viper or Cobra Mk3, but I'm in a Keelback now able to rebuild a bit I will add one back to my Flightline but not anytime this weekend.
