Sell Cobra Mk IV?

Recounter:
Until we see, dunno, FdL with ultra-pre-engineered death-lazers and everything, your pointing at "...will not be used for pay-to-win purchases..." is invalid.
These two introductory meh ships, bought to win anything? C'mon...
You can kind of interpret this to mean that:
- the ship is exclusive to the Horizons expansion, you can't buy it at all in the base game (in context this doesn't exclude future expansions, and the Cobra Mk IV is already in Odyssey).
- is available to access forever (not exclusive forever) beyond an initial offering
I pre-ordered and have access the Cobra Mk IV already. I honestly wouldn't care if it became generally available now in Odyssey.
Yea, but since Horizons folded in the Base Game - they should have give anyone access to Cobra Mk4
The Horizons pre-order value is invalidated now since there is no Horizons anymore, just the base game.
"...only to players who joined us in the first year."
What is invalidated now in this?

Horizons (that first year refers to first year of horizons)
Horizons is no more. Just a base game and Odyssey
Reminds me of 1 Kings 3:16–28...
Two Cmdrs living in the same station (each the owner of a Cobra Mk4) came to Solo-man.
One of the Cobras had been destroyed, and each claimed the remaining Cobra as their own.
Calling for a beam laser, Solo-man declared his judgment: the remaining Cobra mk4 would be cut in two, with each Cmdr to receive half.
Here is a lovely picture of my Cobra Mk4

And how it changed "...only to players who joined us in the first year"?
THAT element has nothing to do with what came many years after.

Well, that doesnt cut it, 2x Cobra Mk2 does not make for a Cobra Mk4
Join us in the first year of Horizons - you keep removing Horizons out of the Picture.
Cobra MK4 was not given for the first year of Elite Dangerous, but for the first year of Horizons - which does not exist anymore.
Frontier don’t appear to have many scared cows left, but this is one (at the moment).
It was given for loyalty, as "...our 'thank you' for your faith in the game..." which you can clearly see above, but you try to wiggle out of it
Along with "only now", and "forever"

they also gave me the Azure paints for all ships as a thank you for being there when they rolled Horizons into the base gameIt was given for loyalty, as "...our 'thank you' for your faith in the game..." which you can clearly see above, but you try to wiggle out of it

More aprpriate would have to give us all Cobra Mk4 since Horizons was no longer a thing
Also... forever? In a live service game? When they shut down the servers will be you be able to play that CM4? Like Forever?
Nope - forever is just a marketing ploy that can be changed the way they will change the Gamestore to sell not only cosmetics but also Ships - which turns the game into P2W which is exactly they said wont happen
So what value has now their statement pertaining the exclusivity of Cobra mk4? None, Nada, Zilch, Zero
Have they ever said "these Azure paints are only now, will never ever be available again, forever"?
No.
But they said that for Mk IV.

Please forgive my jest, I was not serious. o7
It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. Let's not imagine for a second that if Frontier were to make the Mk4 generally available that there wouldn't be uproar from some of the same quarters that are in uproar now that Frontier are keeping their word in relation to the Mk4.
No the Cobra Mk2 is a far more interesting ship lore wise than the Mk4.
The only decent (and profitable at the same time) thing for FD would be to present Cobra Mk V.
It can be exactly the same as Mk IV, slap on a few shiny paints and make it next in offer after Python II, the same arrangement.
Everybody wins. The people who made Mk IV in 2012 on the promise of "only now, as our thank you" will not feel betrayed, everybody else will get the coveted object of desire, ARX would bring in some needed cash to FD...
