Cobra Mk V
- Thread starter nanothargon
- Start date
At least for the pmk2 and cmk5, the design philosophy seems to be that pm2 was supposed to be a small big ship, cm5 a small medium ship
-create a size large(pm2)/medium(cm5) ship, smallest in those classes
-give it great agility in the smaller class (medium for pm2, small for cm5)
-undersize the distributor

Confirmed. Just experienced it myself: Requested docking and landed completely normally on an Odyssey surface settlement, and apparently the wings of the Mk5 go outside the landing pad area, making you be "in a trespass zone", and after a few seconds the guards start shooting at you. Even though you are landed completely normally on the landing pad, having gotten permission to do so.I remember someone describing in another thread how his Cobra Mk5 accidentally breached a security perimeter because of its dimensions. If I recall correctly, the shooting started shortly after
This seems to be a definitive oversight. Might be worth a bug report.

When I asked on the forum why it was changed to a small pad, many on the forum jumped all over me, it was always for a small pad. And the phrase about medium was just a caveat.
I was immediately convinced that I was wrong
I made a report: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/70727
Now I'm beginning to wonder if the Mandalay will run into similar problems if we have medium pads for the upcoming colonies.
"But I'm the architect of this facili--BLAM BLAM BLAM!!!"
There are Odyssey surface settlements with medium landing pads, so it's easy to test. I doubt there's a problem there, though.
This is actually quite inconvenient. I just took an on-foot mission when I remembered that oh shoot, I can't go to a surface settlement with my Mk V because the guards will just aggro on me. I had to go switch ships for this one mission. It's annoying.
How do they KEEP doing this?
Guys, check the flipping settlement pad dimensions fit the ships.

Python mkII and Cobra mkV ... stop being lazy and type their names properly.
And I foolishly thought I was doing so well by not typing pm2 and cm5.
If enough people vote on the issue report to make it marked as "confirmed", maybe it will catch fdev's attention.
At least you didn't call it a C5
I usually deprecate them even further...
P2
C5
I am known to be incredibly lazy though!

Those abbreviations are normally on our discord, I will admit, and both ships are mentioned in passing - the 4 new ships are brilliant, so naturally get talked about!
What does stupidity have to do with it? There has to be a unambiguous reading.God forbid I ever get sensible!!!

What can P2 and C5 be confused with?
The last time I saw a report of this nature it was Acknowledged before reaching the required 10 confirmations.
Nevertheless, I’ll add mine to the report as this is something that shouldn’t have made it into the game. Again.
It's kind of ironic that, back in the day, ships like the T7 and iClipper ended-up as large-pad ships because of small dimensional oversights and yet now, apparently, FDev just ignore inconveniences like this.
Haven't really been playing much over xmas but, as I already said, I've been spending my time doing "doodad recovery" missions which often seem to require me to deliver my cargo to an Odyssey surface outpost (incidentally, I've been getting these missions from the mission-board and not from sketchy individuals on a station concourse) and one of the intended roles for my CM5 was specifically these missions.

Not really. The 3 months was true for Python Mk2, but not for Type 8.
Also fdev never said anywhere the early access will be for 3 months (unless you have a source to quote?).
The 3 months ea for each ship was only speculation by the playerbase, based on Pmk2.
