The door of opertunity was open for anyone that happened to be home AND answered it. Suppose for a minute, a man was to give a million dollars to the first person who answered his knocking on a door. If one chose not to answer for what ever reason or simply wasn't home to do so. Is it the mans fault that he gave it to someone else instead? When the window of oppertunity closes, regardless of how long or wide it was opened; IT'S OVER! Running after the man spouting excuses, serves no purpose, it's done, turn the page, put it to rest etc. etc. etc.

Welcome to our world.
The Cobra MkIV is an exclusive reward for Elite Dangerous players who upgraded to Elite Dangerous: Horizons during its first year. It is only available to PC players who purchased Horizons before February 5, 2016 (this also includes Lifetime Expansion pass holders), and to Xbox One players who purchased the Horizons season pass before July 30, 2016. Players who met these requirements can obtain the ship in-game from stations using credits. PlayStation 4 players currently do not have any means to access the Cobra MkIV.

PS4 users, pre-ordering Elite electronically were given a Gold paint job for their Sidewinder (which is still broken. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/383191-Sidewinder-Pre-order-Gold-Paint-Job-Disappeared-Post-2-4 )
Please FDev, find a way to even up the shipyard.

I do not have Horizons yet, no DLC, bought the game used for PS4. The Cobra MKIV can be purchased. 4 days ago they were in the following shipyards
Goddard Station Kachian Federation L 48 ls 2 days 11.30 ly
Blenkinsop Penal colony Alpha Fornacis Independent L 577 ls - 11.43 ly
Doi City Alpha Fornacis Federation L 13,974 ls 36 days 11.43 ly
Davis Beacon LHS 22 Federation L 9 ls 44 days 17.24 ly
Melnick Ring LP 715-52 Federation L 2,107 ls 21 days 27.52 ly
Last night I was in another station near Dvorsi and nearly bought one to try it out.
No you didn't, see my post above.
Errr Anubis, yes you did. PC Commanders had to buy the Horizons expansion by 5th Feb 2016, Xbox Commanders had until July 30 (they got Horizons later).
FDev, how about issuing all ‘current’ Cobra mkIV owners with a special Legacy paint job to signify their special status and them male the mkIV available to everyone else?
Yet I haven't bought Horizons but I can buy one, lol
I love debating with trolls.
Either you are lying, a PC lifetime expansion member or all other PS4 commanders are mistaken.
So assuming that you are right, please furnish us with your Cobra IV buying exploits on the PS4
Without pictures it didn’t happen.

When I get home, I'll post a screenshot. I have no reason to lie about it. I don't have horizons (yet) and I can buy a Cobra IV.

SO, where in hells name are the ED representatives that monitor ALL comments to put us right on this?
it's stupid allowing this thread to flame and escalate in this way causing unnecessary rifts between players when all it needs is a DEV or MOD to set the record straight!

Hey there,
Moderators are just normal guys like you, we don't have insider knowledge and on the topic of the Cobra Mk.IV I want it on PS4 too.
I am active in this thread so can't moderate it. If you have issues with individual posts please use the 'report post' link below if you believe it breaks the forum rules. Moderators don't read every post. I'll ask on of the other guys to take a look and report posts myself if I spot issues.

Lies!
They have given comments previously in this thread:

Just it doesn't hurt to ask every once in a while, in case they now have news
We nudge this thread every so often to show that we haven't forgotten about the lack of Cobra IV on PS4.
Especially when new gameplay emerges that can benefit from owning this ship. Right now I fly the Cobra III with nothing but passenger cabins when stations needing rescue get log-jammed by large and medium ships. It also lets me multicrew (when it works) so folks out in the black can experience what they would otherwise miss. No weapons, no shields, no need for insane speed. The Mk IV will let me rescue even more refugees. Frontier, think of the children!!!!
Whilst this seems like a good analogy, it isn't. In the case of the PS4, the house wasn't even built yet, so the man couldn't have knocked on the door. Basically, we NEVER had the chance to open the door, so, in fact, you're opening sentence is inaccurate.
And this is the crux of the matter. PS4 players have never been able to obtain the restricted items that players on other platforms have. As far as I can tell, nobody is asking for any favours or to be given anything for free. They just feel that ED should recognise PS4 players & provide the opportunity to obtain them.

Yup, this is my issue, we never even had a time limited option. Poor.
Each platform is isolated from the others, so I can't imagine PC or XBox players complaining if we PS4 players also get the "exclusive" Cobra IV, because we don't exist in their galaxy.
Okay, I suppose I can imagine a couple people (literally like two) pitching a fit, but it would be incredibly lame
So what's the point of keeping it from us?

That's actually a very good point, which had never occurred to me. I wonder if the devs haven't considered this either.
