Taylor Miller, the first Koneko Kobra prototype.

The Koneko Kobra, designed and built by Koneko Industries, is a variant of the standard Cobra Mk3.

Sacrificing two missile slots and five tons of cargo for extra speed and energy (among other minor benefits), the Koneko Kobra is prepared for any pirates.

The first Koneko Kobra, Taylor Miller, started out as a standard Cobra Mk3, before Ryan Hoots, CEO of Koneko Industries, completely rebuilt her engines, replacing the two standard Cowell & MgRath thrusters for one big prototype engine from his company in the process.

Koneko Industries started mass-manufacturing the ship after an agreement with Cowell & MgRath.

The Koneko Kobra has become a symbol for the company recently.

Design & Features

The Koneko Kobra was designed specifically to fit the needs of Ryan Hoots. Still within the power range of most core Oolite ships, but designed for the bounty hunter who favors the laser over missiles or plasma guns. In future versions of the OXP, the ship will feature its own HUD, designed by Koneko Industries.

The ship's single engine is a Koneko Industries original design, made for speed and reliability. The ship's maximum is .4 LM. However, the single engine takes up more room than two of the standard Cobra engines, so cargo space is lost.
