Anyone know when it will be available for in-game credits? I'm surprised it's not yet bc the Mandalay has been available for a while now. Just wondering.
Cobra Mk V in-game availability?
- Thread starter cmdr jonnimew
- Start date
no specific date mentioned as another user said probably when arx sales taper off they might make available but are under no obligation to do so
We don't know, they haven't told us anything. Expect to hear nothing until it happens, because that's what happened with the Mandalay.
Python Mk 2: 92 days
Type-8: 113 days
Mandalay: 118 days
Cobra V ARX date: 12 Dec 2024
Cobra V credits date: ???

If time between previous Arx4Access availability and availability for credits only (in Odyssey) is to be taken as a precedent then we may see the Cobra Mk V become available for credits in Odyssey early to mid April:
Okay, great ty all!
Possibly when the beaky one turns up?
nice! ty.
I didn't see it released for credits in the patch notes.. I'm so very disappointed 
Just went to buy at Jamesons - nothing!!
4.5 months since released for ARX.

Bummed but not completely surprised. It's probably still bringing in real $$$ at a decent rate and if they make it available in-game they can kiss that extra revenue goodbye. Every pound, euro, or dollar matters to the bean counters so I figure it's their prerogative. I can wait. Now the corsair on the other hand--is temptingI didn't see it released for credits in the patch notes.. I'm so very disappointed

I was going to counter that argument by suggesting they would garner more Arx income from credit-purchased ships with people buying repaints for their new ship - but then I remembered how pants the Cobra mkV skins are.
"Captain's Log, April 9, 3311, I returned a week before from my trip to deep space to see Gutamaya's new ship, the Corsair, beautiful but divisive, however my real objective was the hope that Faulcon DeLacy, to prevent a loss of market share with this launch, would release to the general public his newest ship, the Cobra Mk5, I never imagined the disappointment that would take me to arrive at the Jameson Memorial sales room and not find it, I think I was too hasty in assuming that the DeLacy marketing department would make a bold move to boost sales, a missed opportunity DeLacy."
It’s odd, ED is now a game which has early (late) access and beta products within the live game.
I purchased both the Type-8 and the Mandalay, Stellar ed. to support FDev. Skipped the mkV though because my plan was to purchase the Corsair (Stellar again) AND get the mkV in game at the same time. Alas, that's not happening.
Fdev decides when they release any ARX ship for credits. They're not required to give new ships for credits. If you don't have patience, that doesn't make them greedy.
