Nevertheless, very few people have access to unlimited funds, or anything approaching it. For those people the Cobra Mk 1 was designed.

		+	Giving credit where credit's due, the Mk 1 generally available in shipyards throughout the Core Systems is not a bad little ship, especially at the prices some of them go for. A decent 16g of main thrust gives you good speed and acceleration and there's a reasonable amount of cargo space if you've got trading in mind. The standard Class 2 hyperdrive gets you between systems at a good clip too.

		+
		+	The main thing to watch out for is that you're not suckered into buying one of the early models, which don't benefit from the vastly improved plastiglass hull. This critical improvement gave the ship the toughness to survive the rigours of space and its remarkable lightness gives the thrusters far less work to do. If you're buying a Cobra Mk 1 in an outlying system, ''make absolutely sure'' you buy the newer version. The old one is fit only for flying into stars.
