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) Interior space expanded and maximized:
Main engine housing and exhaust flanges extended out the aft hull. Cockpit & forward gun mounting completely redesigned and extended out the forward hull.
2 Kruger "lightfast" motors replaced with smaller but more powerful dual ProTren engines.
3 Addition of port and starboard DeLacy Spin Ionic engines.
4 Energy plant replaced with superior Xenion unit.

Improvements

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.
