Unlocked the Cobra mk iv and pirate decals for players who were early Odyssey buyers

People who bought into Odyssey, especially those who were early backers, should get access to the Cobra Mk Iv and the original pirate decals.

Odyssey makes small ships much more useful and the Mk Iv would be a great tool.

This would help lessen some of the anger of the players who basically bought into a full priced beta.

"Elite Dangerous: Horizons will be available to pre-order on our store today, and I’m very happy to announce all existing Elite Dangerous players will receive a £10 loyalty discount off the Horizons retail price. Existing players will also unlock the exclusive Cobra Mk IV ship in Elite Dangerous: Horizons. The Cobra Mk IV will be available in the game only to players who joined us in the first year – forever. It’s our ‘thank you’ for your faith in the game, and you’ll see more of the Cobra Mk IV in Friday’s Peek Of The Week."

That was, what, 5-6 years ago? If I remember right, the gold Asp paint job was also exclusive until they unlocked it for everyone.

They need to do something after they basically (deliberately) mislead the community regarding Odyssey’s readiness. Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying odyssey but they should’ve been honest about it and unlocking this ship would be a nice gesture.

Why should they act against my interests to act in favor of yours? How is that a "nice gesture"?
 
Googled the decals, one of em looks like the one you can get for the Holo-Me shoulders.

I mean, it'd be nice but I don't think we'll get them. That said, I'd be happy with something similar given that the skull decals available are a bit cartoony for my tastes. I've been using the Kumo decals on my pirate ships even though I don't do Powerplay.

I'm still flying a Viper Mk IV only for my guy (or rather gal, I'm playing my wife's account, :)) and I have no plans on upgrading to any bigger ship in a long while. In my primary account (my own), I have 1+ of every ship there is, engineered, and stuff, and credits, and stuff, and ... so this go-around, I'm not even going big at all, with anything. So Viper or Cobra even, is perfect. If they'd give us access to a Cobra IV, I probably work my puny ass-ets to getting one. I do believe I have a few million bucks now. I'm so rich.... :D

(posting while drunk, awesome, I'll hate myself tomorrow...)

No it wasn't an exclusive, it's clear that it was an as yet unreleased paint job given to players, so stop playing with words;

"Finally, by way of a special thank you to everyone who has already bought Horizons before these changes are made, we are giving you an unreleased Asp Explorer gold paint job. And don’t forget, you still have access to the Cobra Mk IV, and this will apply to all players that buy Horizons (and already own Elite Dangerous) before the changes go live tomorrow – new players that get the new deal will not get it.

See that word there "unreleased" not "exclusive", so going to be eventually released for all, but a certain group of players got it early for free!
 
Things we do not like that companies do:

  • Lie
  • Break promises
  • (is that the same as not delivering?)

Suggestion by user: Break a promise....
