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.

Improvements Over Standard Cobra Mark III

1) Max energy increased to 320 (five energy banks).
2) Energy recharge rate increased to 5.0.
3) Max flight speed increased to 0.375 LM.
4) Max cargo increased to 40 CT.
5) Weapons & Equipment pylons increased to six.
All of this due to replacement of out-dated propulsion and energy systems with resultant increase in spacial efficiency.
