Start with a 5TC cargo bay Adder and 1000₢

== Overview ==
One of the minor thread running through the bulletin board over the years is that the Cobra Mk III - even without all the improvements - is a very impressive ship compared to all the others. So starting with the smallest and cheapest hyper-jump capable ship would create much more of a challenge - and also be more realistic. One would have to work one's way up to the Cobra rather than starting with it.

The extra credits and the extended cargo bay give a good boost to the progression and a few more more options. Among them is the possibility to start relatively quickly Quirium harvesting with phkb's [[Fuel Tweaks]] (note that adders come with [[External Heat Shielding]]).

Note that the regular Adder only hold 2TC of cargo, so this "Adder start" gives one a considerable leg up the ladder, albeit from a much lower position on the rungs.

A much more difficult start - a slower ship, holding very little cargo, poorer shields, no rear laser, ''etc''.
