ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous: Horizons Set to Land for All Commanders

[Dooguk]

Does it make sense to continue keeping the Cobra MKIV exclusive when the expansion of which it is a part is going to be free?

And why show it in Dev Diary 2? it's a wink...

What is this obsession with the Cobra MKIV? Is it a case of wanting something because someone else has it?

Is it a case of wanting something because someone else has it?

If it was me it would be wanting the the ship I cant have rather than cos someone else has it
do you have one?

Yes I have it, but that was because I bought Horizons when it launched and I also have the LEP. So why do you want it so bad, it's not like it's that good a ship?

 

[SCiARA]

I also have it, but if there was a ship in game that I couldn't have it would send the (mild and albeit self inflicted) ocd in me into a sweaty mess

I can understand that (I think), but if it was made available to everyone, what would the words "Limited Edition" even mean?

 

[SCiARA]

its had its day as a limited edition, think of a LE Ferrari that's only sold to Ferrari's most valued customers, after a few years anyone can buy it
you could even have a timed sale event on em (cobra's not Ferraris, although a Ferrari style ship would be nice)

I think we have to agree to disagree on this matter. OK?

It was for buying Horizons before it was released, the price paid for Horizons is irrelevant, so it makes as much sense as any other promotional offer.

The only reason most of the people who can't have the Cobra IV want one is that someone else has something they can't.

I would much prefer a new exclusive ship on the same terms than the Cobra IV being made ordinary.

No I do not have one as the offer was over when I bought the game and the fact there was something I couldn't have that other people could has never bothered me.

All the Limited Edition cars I can think of were a special trim and paint job with possibly different performance spec not a different model so while anybody could buy that model there where only the 500 LE versions made.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Will Odyssey be free too?

 

[Spiridon]

Yes, seven-eight years from now.

Not necessarily, unless they are transferable.

Well seen.

 

[Manticore]

Very nice
\o/

flimley

Can't say I'm thrilled either way.

I played as Cmdr Pingmonster on the PC and am now replaying on the PS4 as Cmdr real_manticore (so sorry but it's an old PSN login).

After years in the game I would have preferred a discount on Odyssey DLC (for the PS4).

Thanks anyway. o7.....

I actually use mine.
Have it configured as a short range miner. Ideal for doing quick mining runs. Lots of cargo compartments for mining equipment and fairly maneuverable.
