This OXP upgrades the speed, energy and energy recharge rate of the NPC Cobra Mk IIIs so that they are the same as a player Cobra III - a token upgrade for pirate and hunter Cobras; a larger upgrade for trader Cobras. This makes them a little tougher than they are without this OXP, but not by much.
Background
A number of people have remarked on the superior speed of the player's cobra compared to that of the NPC's.
If you are traveling to the station and get mass-locked by a Mk3 going the same way as you, then you cannot overtake it without injectors, if both ships have the same maximum speed. You either get stuck with it or you have to do a lateral manoeuver to avoid it. Both options can be frustrating. As far as I can recall, that was the original reason for the speed difference. another_commander (2017)
