Overview

The most famous starship in human history. It has a unique design which is equally capable for combat and trading and requires only a single pilot, a very important factor to many Commanders.

Notable Features

Shaped like a wide, blunt arrow head, the Cobra Mk III instils both a sense of respect and fear. Many a famous Commander has piloted a Cobra Mk 3 to infamy, such as the venerable Commander Jameson, a pioneer and hero of the Thargoid Wars.

The Cobra Mk 3 is the top of the line in its class, unmatched in terms of speed, manoeuverability, size and strength.

Disadvantages

The Cobra Mk 3 is just too small to realistically fit a 25MW Beam Weapon. As a result, some Commanders will make the jump to an Asp Explorer which can safely house such a powerful weapon.

Verdict

All Commanders should try one of these ships at some point in their career. Many are so happy with the ship that they never sell it. It is a truly multi function ship that is built into the history of humanity
