There is still a brisk demand for the Cobra Mark III as evidenced by the growing number of lone wolf traders who think they have what it takes to succeed. And what is better than a Cobra Mark III for about the same price? Why a ship that looks just like the old rust bucket, but with modern upgrades to boost all-round performance, including a modest increase in cargo capacity.

Little is known about this secretive clan except that they are a criminal organization. Their base of operations has never been discovered despite the best efforts of GalCop and the Galactic Navy. When they observed the Cobra Mark III-XT leaving the shipyards at Xecees and later at the new shipyard on Ontiat, they coveted them for their own. They hatched a daring plan (they are birds after all) to steal a fair number of these ships. Suffice it to say their plan succeeded only to well, and continues to succeed to this day. Even more disturbing are the reports of vicious and unprovoked attacks on ships upon exiting witchspace. Some experts have surmised from the evidence that candidates can only be allowed into the order if they pass a test of feudal challenge. Their purposes may be shrouded in mystery, but it would seem they will not attack anyone who has not at least achieved the rank of <i>Dangerous</i>.

Overview

There is still a brisk demand for the Cobra Mark III as evidenced by the growing number of lone wolf traders who think they have what it takes to succeed. And what is better than a Cobra Mark III for about the same price? Why a ship that looks just like the old rust bucket, but with modern upgrades to boost all-round performance, including a modest increase in cargo capacity.

Modifications

1) Improved interior spacial efficiency:
2) Kruger "lightfast" motors replaced with smaller but more powerful dual ProTren engines.
3) Energy plant replaced with superior Xenion unit.

Improvements

1) Max energy increased to 320 (five energy banks).
2) Energy recharge rate increased to 4.5.
3) Max flight speed increased to 0.375 LM, thrust increased to 36.
4) Max cargo increased to 25 CT expandable to 40 CT.
5) Weapons & Equipment pylons increased to six.

The Black Knaves

Little is known about this secretive clan except that they are a criminal organization. Their base of operations has never been discovered despite the best efforts of GalCop and the Galactic Navy. When they observed the Cobra Mark III-XT leaving the shipyards at Xecees and later at the new shipyard on Ontiat, they coveted them for their own. They hatched a daring plan (they are birds after all) to steal a fair number of these ships. Suffice it to say their plan succeeded only to well, and continues to succeed to this day. Even more disturbing are the reports of vicious and unprovoked attacks on ships upon exiting witchspace. Some experts have surmised from the evidence that candidates can only be allowed into the order if they pass a test of feudal challenge. Their purposes may be shrouded in mystery, but it would seem they will not attack anyone who has not at least achieved the rank of Dangerous.

Minimum Requirements

Tested with Oolite 1.80. No Dependencies.

Manual Installation

After unzipping, move or copy the folder, "Cobra_Mk3-XT1.4.oxz" into your AddOns folder. Where that resides depends on your Oolite installation.
