It's showing up then spontaneously vanishing so FD need to sort this out.
it might be vanishing due to the 'you dont own horzions bug'. I can confirm that garratt station in frey has one and jameson didn't when I checked
Yeah it's not going to stand up to a combat focused gameplay now I wouldn't say, the stability that makes it easy to fly close to the surface makes it a pig to fly in combat.
The Cobra Mk3 is as classic a ship as you can get, it was what I moved into from my starting sidey and it's versatile enough to let you try out virtually any aspect of the game, as well as having the easiest to use defensive manoever in the game, sheer speed. The sidey is a barrel of laughs too; despite my assets having just tipped over the one billion credit mark and owning 10 ships from a conda down, I still fly a sidey now and then and even bought paints for it.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I built a keelback for planetary missions once and it was actually pretty good, surprisingly decent to fly too.
If you haven't already done, you should really try a Courier if you have the Empire rank. Useless for doing anything that needs cargo space, hateful to fuel scoop in because it overheats at the drop of a hat (although engineers may be able to help with that I guess) but it's pure fun to fly. Also I believe you can get it boosting at 500+ using the racing gear that you can just buy (not craft) at one of the Engineers.

I rest my case.
Ok... So I jumped between Lembava, Nijikan and a few other star systems last night and I couldn't find the MkIV anywhere.... I was going by eddb.io database, which said the 4 systems I checked all had them available. No luck so far. Before anybody asks, yes I do own Horizons. I didn't get the chance to do a hard boot on my console since my friend and I were bombing around on the surface of a moon in Nijikan. Will try a hard restart tonight and check the shipyard.
Did you go into a hangar before looking? If so thats why.
Oh yea, I always drop down into the hanger if I go to take a look at anything spaceport or obviously outfitter. Still Couldn't find any system that had it. Like I said, Im going to do a hard reboot tonight on my console and see maybe I had a hiccup. If not... not sure then
When you go into the hangar the game "forgets" you have Hoizons(and access to this ship and PVH's) until you shut ED down and restart it.
Hm... ok. i'll test it out when im off work tonight.
I got mine a day or 2 ago from lembrava. I always go into hanger so no issue there.
You're lucky then, many have the "enter hanger=Horizon stop's working" bug.

If anyone is still looking for one Gridge has it! I found one in Blacklund station.
Thought I'd share this with you guys also posted in this thread --> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=260886
[FONT="]'ll do my best to give you the most qualitative answer I can[/FONT]
[FONT="]If anyone on the Xbox has purchased both Elite Dangerous and Horizons both, up to 30/6/16 then the Cobra Mk IV is available to you in-game. Forever.[/FONT]
[FONT="]If someone is to complete their purchase of both Elite Dangerous and Horizons after 30/6/16 then they will not find the Cobra Mk IV in stock at any station![/FONT]
[FONT="]If you were to purchase prior to 30/6/16 and qualify for the Cobra Mk IV and accidentally lose it with no re-buy available after 30/6/16 then you'll still be able to purchase a new one.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I hope this helps! Should you need anything else from us please do let us know and we'll do what we can for you

So I got my hands on a Mk4. Its definitely a nice ship... subtle differences in the cockpit from the Mk3. Definitely handling and speed wise its a bit more of a slug vs the Mk3. Definitely has more capabilities internally vs the Mk3. I can see heavily armoring the variant and making it a dedicated ground attack platform. I feel that the engineer modifications would do wonders on setting up a proper ship.
