1st Rule of Cobra Club is don't talk about being OP
Its not op its quite literally very customisable!
You are not a unique snowflake. You’re not your fucking khakis.
The Cobra also has the best selection of paint jobs. Frontier clearly want people to get this inexpensive ship and hang onto it for a long time. I have an Anaconda, Python, Type-9, and a couple others, but my trusty Cobra is the one I always come back to when it's time to just do some chilling.
I disagree on one of your points; the Cobra III is a great looking ship.
same
On one hand, appearance is subjective and everyone is entitled to their opinion. On the other hand, it's literally a dollar-store doorstop that somebody scaled up and slapped engines on. ;-)
@@nuclearattackwombat8390 I think people who played the original back in the 80s probably have a more favourable view of the cobra mk iii
In ED. it's the icon for 'ship'. Most nameplates and decals show a cobra when a ship is needed, and a lot of artwork related to the game shows cobra.
Maybe indeed what @StuRoRo mentions. It's the '3.5" floppy' for 'ship'.
agreed
I don't know about "too good", but it is a really good ship. The only time i'd say a ship is "too good" is when it's actually better than anything else at something you're actually in competition with other people over (eg combat) to the point where you're compelled to fly it. The Cobra doesn't excel in any one area, but it does do virtually anything you want to do in the game. It's speed is really, really nice and there are few ships that are a satisfying to fly as a really well set up Cobra III. It's a pilot's ship, in the same way as a Golf GTi is a driver's car...
To be honest I think the Cobra III is actually what the entire game is built around by FD - it's the default ship.
Absolutely; is it any wonder that the Cobra III is on all of the promotional material?
A jack of all trades and a master of none is still better than a master of one.
dont that depend on what we are doing ??
Unlike a certain SCOUTing ship…
Road to BEST Ship: Play Sidewinder for 30 minutes, Play Cobra as long you want and enjoying it! ASP Explorer to close the Gap between Cobra and Python! And then fall back to Cobra! :)
I have loads of ships and still find myself jumping into my cobra mk 3 for simple fun times.
The cobra 3 just has charm. The asp explorers cockpit doesn't feel snug like the cobra 3s which is why I skipped the asp and sold a tonne of exploration data to.get a krait 2
The Thing is, i playing up to 98% of my Time in Open and i enjoying it to play CG and any other Community focussed Content. But playing with Python and/or Anaconda CG in Open is a hard and expensive Time for me, because i am no PvP Enthusiast! So, the most Time i using smaller Ships then and the Cobra is One of my Favourites and for an non engineered ship pretty nimble to evade some interdictions.
@@w4chund510 I play 100% open play on xbox server. I run a sidewinder fight club that allows unengineered sidewinders only so the fights are fair. It's a good way to learn pvp and a bit of a laugh too.
@Nebula Oh yeah, that Corvette jump range is quite convincing...
Cobra Mk.III is to Elite Dangerous as the YT-1300 is to Star Wars; a relatively inexpensive ship that almost anyone can acquire, and can be easily modified to suit their owner's needs.
FINALLY somebody noticed
One of the best things about the Cobra Mk3 is the geometry. If you stay edge-on to an opponent, you're an absolutely minuscule target. But that said, you're a giant space pancake from directly above or below.
Vet player and still my go to for bubble hopping,material grinder.
It's just something about it's mystic Erie feel inside that cockpit after reading about what happend to the guy in the Jameson crash.
An amazing underrated ship
Pretty good combat ship in the right hands with engineered frag cannons.
Faster then cottonheads making their way into sunday morning services.
I
The Cobra is sex in a metal pancake shape. The worst thing about it is that it enables you to quickly get to the bigger and more expensive ships.
Was flying my shieldless cobra one day, ended up getting pulled by a wing of 3 couriers. took out a fully engineered courier that had full shields and hull with a single ram. Cost me 8% hull 🤣. Was a fun little fight
i absolutely love it too for whatever reason i'm really not certain about, maybe it's a desire for doing a more humble approach on things to spice the experience up for a change? because in fact i'm liking it so much so that despite having all these billions and like 29 fully engineered-out ships in the hangar - i still use it occasionally regardless, in a completely engineered-out and tricked-out combat multirole loadout i mean.
it's a loadout that, at really great cost in terms of building lightweight for a PvE combat multirole, reaches 643 M/S with full tank (so it starts at 1 M/S higher than what an engineered player Mamba can reach and - unlike Mamba - can even go further beyond that as the fuel tank empties). i've never heard anyone call it OP though, and i've never heard anyone call it better than I-Courier - which is better at like 8 out of 10 things when going for the same loadout & engineering philosophy as my Cobra Mk.III loadout does unfortunately (including even in many utilitarian aspects actually, as it doesn't need as much weight and available slot size investment into shields as Cobra III to get to where it at least has to be for me), so i actually feel like a buff for it would be more realistically in order than a nerf.
so, yeah, don't worry Yamiks - it seems to be just another one of these weird takes on things you oftentimes present to us. i mean, as you're the guy who asked for shield nerfs instead of player-only hull buffs, didn't understand the merit turrets can have on small and nimble ships if the pilot's flying style preference fits with their strengths - and as you're even the guy who basically cried for PS2 Infiltrator buffs way back in the day when i was still playing it and Infiltrators already were the most nightmarish units to face, ruining the experience of all the other regular classes extremely successfully... (as is their job i suppose).
The only problem with the Cobra is that it becomes completely useless when you upgrade to an Asp. There's no small ship specific gameplay and mediums do everything better.
Maybe there will be later. That'd be neat.
Smaller hitbox and more turning rate then the asp i now use it fot bounty hunting instead of the eagle
Anaconda is OP. Cobra Mk III is, however, what all ships should be. Capable. The overt fascination Frontier has with crippling everything it builds, I never really understood.
The Anaconda is definitely not OP, it's a slow moving big target that can't get away from your cobras Frag Cannons and can't manoeuvre well enough to shake a well flown cobra mk3 off its tail.
@@milanondrak5564 try considering it more than just an NPC ship. Lightest large ship with best armour to mass ratio, massive jump range, has more DPS potential than corvette. It's the ship that virtually every player sets as their goal. Even Frontier have previously admitted its a bit much. But no, not OP at all. I just find it hilarious to call out the cobra as OP when there's something like the anaconda. To each their own. :)
@@kofeyh fair comment. I demoted my Anaconda to mining duties a long time ago. The jump range is handy but it's a bit slow to turn for my combat style though I did use the Conda as a warship for a while. Its OK but it's a multirole vessel that can't land on an outpost and can't outrun or out turn a Corvette.
Before engineering existed, the Cobra 3 was my main ship. I did everything in that ship and had no regrets. It was the fastest ship in the game by just a noticeable enough margin and it was versatile enough to hold its own in whatever activity I wanted. I took down anacondas in that thing.
Then engineering happened and other ships started leaving it in the dust with enhanced thrusters. Made me sad.
Still waiting for that Cobra MkV.
I can't imagine exploring in any other ship. Maneuverable both in real space and SC, doesn't overheat while fuelscooping, great internals and engineered jump range.
All those reasons are why I fly a Phantom ^
And you forgot the most important feature of Cobra mk3... Its COLD and fast. Making it a perfect stealth ship you can get in and out any situation at ease. With cheating... I mean engineering you can even high wake while silent running with minimal damage!
@Nebula you need to lock first... ;)
@Nebula ramming a cobra never a good plan , I once insta killed an player fdl by ramming it with my old cobra.
@Nebula oh a PVE farmer... nevermind this conversation is over.
@Nebula true grind it is.. also I dont play ED anymore, and I've killed plenty of Corvetes in my time, with a Cobra...
@@GabrielGreedy my type 10 fully engineered could take 5 of these no problem (Already tested btw) I can handle 3 anaconda at once get on my level son...
I miss my cobra days. Barely covering the rebuy and smuggling cargo.
Who remembers their 1st cobra mk3 on ELITE in the 1980's?..
I remember how u could shoot from any angle at anytime.. then years later.. along came frontier on the Amiga.. and it had planetary cities.. OK not amazing graphics but it felt so real back then!! And the game play was amazing.
I remember those days.
I love the cobra 3, it has enough cargo room for almost any transport job, and I almost exclusively do those cuz it's so chill, but it also has the weapons to fight of pirates that want to take my cargo.
I'm kind on new to Elite Dangerous. I came over from Eve Online. About 5 weeks in the Pilot's Federation Administration. I've been doing Combat about 2 weeks, and I love my Cobra MK III I actually have fun doing combat in the Resource Extraction Sites. Especially the (High) and (Hazardous) Sites. In the first three weeks of doing trading mission, I've made 623,035 credits. In two weeks of Combat, I have made 322,687,364 credits from bounties. I have equipted the ship with A 4E shield generator, 3-2D shield cell banks, and 3-2E hull reinforcement packages, and 1-1D hull reinforcement package. Once the Gimballed Pulse Lasers drop the shields, I Iet the 1F Multi-Cannons weaked the hulls enough to do a head-on collision. Makes quick work of almost most ships; including Pythons and Anacondas. About the only ship that can withstand a head-on collision with my Cobra is the Imperial Cutter. The Cutter impressed me having 600 MJ of shields, a 720 armor rating, and weighing in at 1100 tons. That was the only time whereby my ship was on the loosing end. I now know to put more tenderizer ( Multi-Cannons rounds) on that ship's hull to headbutt out of commision. Just learned that today. As a trader, I normally can load 28 tons of cargo and still hold my own in a fight. But that means losing the Hull Reinforcement packages. It can be configured to carry 60 tons; but there are many ships that can do better. In my opinion, the Cobra MK III is a top tier ship that handle "when the going gets tough.
I will never get rid of my cobra mrk3 purely because it introduced me to the full ED universe when I left the pilots Fed " safe zone " and got the feeling.. "I'm a real pilot now" 😂. It's not the best combat ship ... explorer or trader... But it can do all three in the right hands. I went from sidewinder... Cobra mrk3 to the Python... fair enough I get utterly destroyed majority of the time by engineered FDLs... Kraits etc in my cobra .... but it's my ship .. and its the one I choose to fly 😀
I feel like the Viper and Cobra flight characteristics could be swapped and it would make more sense - Viper 3 should probably be the more nimble one imo
Put medium lasers and small missiles or small rails (if you have thermal vent beams) and the ship *can* take out Elite pythons, but not if they decide to just run while at ~50% shields or more.
The viper has better shields, though.
It's heartbreaking how bad the shields are. Unengineered 174 is the end of the road.
You need the Guardian Shield Package to keep the Cobra somewhat feasible for use from a certain point onward.
Completely agree ! One of the best small ships for sure 😻
Yup even though I moved to the python not too long ago I still have it in my shipyard also the cockpit of the python makes me I feel like I'm still in my cobra but bigger.
True about the cockpit man !! I also kept my original cobra with which I started the game , it’s like a trophy ! 😅
Good for piracy too !
Cobra is perfect and needn’t be changed...
I mean... I have an anaconda and corvette..
Asp explorer and the Clipper...
My Python is awesome...
My Vulture can kill anything in the sky...
But my FAVORITE ship to fly around is still the Cobra mk3!
Plus, it looks great especially with ship modifications set up on it how I like!
Don’t change, Cobra
Don’t change!
The Cobra MKIII is the "UFO" we would describe if we saw one and we didn't know about it.
I unfortunately missed the Cobra MK3, not of my own choice but because I got a giveaway key from PC Gamer for a free Viper MK4. Yes, that awful ship. I was having a rough time in my Hauler and the... upgrade... was too appealing. I flew that hunk of garbage until I could afford an AspX and dumped it as soon as I could, rebuy funds or not. Should have dumped it when I could because my friends who had Cobra's, still have them because they love them so much.
I recently built a Cobra III laser only bounty hunter, and while it drains Weapon capacity nearly instantly it also melts shields and hull nearly as quickly I DOMINATED low rez, doing more damage than even system authority. Thinking of replacing the small beam lasers with small multicannons so I have a bit more power to go around. Those big lasers WRECK.
Hey Yams,
The Cobra mk III shares same core internals with the Keelback, the Diamondback scout and the Viper mk IV.
The viper mk III ( 50 t ) is a small fighter and can't be compared to the Cobra ( 180 t ); not really the same class.
IMO,Keelback, DBS and Viper mk IV are better specialised competitors, in the same class.
Anyway, good video, Thanks Yams.
but viper .. being LIGHT & fast in a straight line.. CAN'T OUT-TURN COBRA3 ..that's alone tells you that something's up!
@@TheYamiks From Coriolis.io, diamondback scout, Asp scout, Vulture are more agile and bigger than the Viper mk III.
Even the Dolphin and T6 are !
And the Federal Assault ship is a 480 t hull, ten times bigger and still more agile...
Don't get me wrong, i don't say you are wrong; it's more about balancing.
Either ship's mass is compensated by thrusters and bigger ships can be more agile than smaller;
either ship's mass can't be compensated and bigger ships will never be more agile.
For exemple Federal Assault ship ( 480 t ) beeing far more agile than the Anaconda ( 400 t ).
They just missed the Mk III with the nerf bat and ended up hitting the Mk IV twice instead.
The Cobra is supposed to be the 'best' of the small ships (after all, it was the first ship designed by 'Lord Braben' and was the only thing you could fly in the 84 game). I would agree that it's probably a bit cheap but as far as it's present build. Leave it alone. (as opposed to the Cobra MK IV, that is the only ship that is pay to lose! Dunno why there's so many complaints about it not being available 😜).
C4's the best small ship miner since the mining updates.
The base hull is cheap but a fully A-rated Cobra mk3 can easily reach 8 million credits. The Cobra mk3 is the first ship that is worth seriously investing into upgrading for a new player and it really lets them get a feel for the difference upgraded components make.
I was able to do the entire grind for both rank and money required for an Imperial Cutter (i.e. Data Courier missions, and deep core mining) in a Cobra 3. Not to mention in the meantime I was also able to outfit it as a pretty respectable combat (well pve) ship, as well as with a couple upgrades a pretty decent jump range too. Equip a 4A fuel scoop in one of the 3 size 4 slots and you got a perfectly good "medium" distance explorer. Heck I even dabled in passenger missions. The Cobra 3 is definitely OP. o7
It's OK at pvp too with the right setup.
Its a jack of all trades not OP at all look up what OP actually means please it doesnt describe the cobra
No it's perfect. Everyone moves on to bigger guns, bigger cargo, bigger jumps... but the only fools selling their Cobra are heartless bastards.
It creates a loop in the game. It gives new players that "holy shit I can do anything" feeling. And then later it gives seasoned players a reminder that bigger =/= more fun.
There's a double layer of nostalgia happening. FD would be smart not to fuck with it.
Cobra MK III is my favorite ship, It took me all the way to Colonia, I have an Anaconda that has been well fiddled with by Engineers but my Cobra MK III will always be my baby. Plus it is a beautiful looking ship.
I actually spent my life running cargo missions and got myself a Type-7, then got bored and decided to try some combat. I followed your Best Ships advice and went with the Cobra, but I felt like it was too small and wimpy, so I upgraded to asp explorer and am loving that. Maybe I missed out on the "amazing" Cobra because I passed it up, but I dont think it's as good as you say
They really need content that is catered to different ship sizes, so people have a reason to still fly the small ones.
The cobra mk3 is simply fun to fly in any mission profile. I refuse to sell mine even though I have 18 ships including Anaconda, Corvette and Cutter. Cobra mk3 is a must have ship.
I decided to make the pilgrimage out to Colonia and then Sag A* in my DBX, leaving behind my Krait Mk II back at home in the bubble until I come back. Once I got to Colonia, I was burnt out on jumping from star to star and scanning systems endlessly and figured I could have some fun in the Colonia bubble first before heading to Sag A* and then back home to the bubble. So what ship did I buy with the massive payout from being the first to discover about a dozen water worlds and even a couple Earth likes? I could've bought another Krait. I could've bought a Python. I could've bought a FDL. But I remembered how much I loved my Cobra before I traded it for my Krait. I have this Cobra outfitted for bounty hunting and sometimes switch it out for doing the complete opposite and robbing the hapless traders of the Colonia bubble blind and making a clean getaway well before any system authority ships ever make it into the res site in time. I bought this Cobra as a knockaround, fucking around having fun ship and now I'm afraid I might not be completing my odyssey to the center of the galaxy and back any time soon...I'm having too much fun in my Cobra.
Is it OP?
Not sure, for me, it went like this: sidewinder, Cobra mk3, Asp Exp, Krait phantom.
Upon reflection; I could've skipped over the Asp. The buyback price; for theCobra, is just too attractive.
"What did Delacy do" Space stimulants is what they did
There will always be a soft spot in my heart for my cobra mk3. Showed me how liberating it is being a freelance, odd job, jack of all trades commander
What I like about the triangle is the cost. You can equip one for one task then buy a new one and equip it for another task.
Leave the 'explorer' (Delta-X) on the edge of the bubble. Park the 'miner' (Delta-M) near some nice rings. Ship the 'fighter' (Delta-F) from A to B for minimal costs when needed (inside the bubble. Outside it may be cheaper to buy and equip a new one). Just the 'transporter' (Delta-T) isn't very roomy.Just too bad I can't pile them all in an Anaconda (both being Faulcon Delacy) and take the entire Delta force everywhere.
One extra optional internal slot would make it really unfairly OP. ;)
such a funny vid, thanks TheYamiks
Gonna nerf every ship you've ever lost to now?
Actually one of the only ships I have never used, I need to amend this! Great video Yamiks!👍
I'm so glad this ship exists but I still like the viper when it comes to a pure combat ship. It just has a certain element that makes me like it as a fighter over the large pancake with anger issues.
well viper has better hardpoint placement
Loved the little popo audio
I love the cobra mk3, it's brilliant. I still have mine, I named it Bulldog after the plane I used to fly with my friend. I went speedbowling in it a couple of days ago and got 4123 m/s out of if as I buzzed the towers. I've used it in pvp, freight running and community goals before they became interstellar initiatives.
Buy one if you've never tried it commanders, it is just simply great fun to fly whatever you're doing in it.
Never nerf our cobras devs. We love them too much.
0:10 little rover jumping xD next 1:43 big cobra ||| jumping lol this video
Good all around, but not OP. OP in comparison to other ships is more of a pvp thing, for pve it's more about how well it handles the content, in which case, to be OP it would have to make any task too easy (if the content is already easy, that's a separate issue).
Edit: Personally, I prefer DBX for small all rounder ships.
I actually skipped it between viper and type6
But came back to get it after ASP got boring
Currently thinking about an AX cobra
I love you like I like obeying the speed limit, Yamiks
I just wish the Viper III could receive a slight manoeuvrability buff.
It's one of my favourite fighter ships, but fact a *combat* ship can be outmaneuvered by it's larger, heavier *multirole* counterpart is utter bullshit, not to mention it overheats easier than the Cobra.
Get your shit together FT.
I flew the Cobra just so I can fit a 4D Economy cabin and a 4A fuel scoop and I FUCKING LOVED IT.
0:30
Like he did with those fighters after jumping out of the helicopter in Denver?
The shape also looks pretty similar lmao
I must admit that even when I was a complete noob I liked this ship when I got it. Even if I had no idea what it was capable of
It was the first ship i bought after my Sidewinder, and i still have it. I don't think i will ever sell it, simply because it carried me through a lot. Yes, there are bigger and better ships out there, but for me the Cobra is in a class of it's own.
I was part of Elite at the beginning. Now getting back into the game after a few years away and I'm right back in my Cobra. The FAS and Cheifton are not getting a look in. Such a fun ship.
Hahahahah those squeaky sounds! 😂
Thinking about in game lore. There is a reason why the original CMDR Jameson flew the Cobra mk3 including during his attack run on the Thargoids.
The Cobra III is a wide boi for fixed hard points though.
Only for the smalls, at least it has its mediums that can be used as fixed
I use mine for taking down the big 3 and sometimes medium ships as well.
Love the Cobra 3. Mines were my go to fit-out for those widely spaced small hardpoints. That is, until they got the 5 second arming 'update'. A pair of rails or Plasma + Force Cannon on the Mediums. Ace.
I love the cobra but the one point that kills it for me is the "wonky cockpit". (Captains chair isnt centralized on the ship).
Sadly it's what also kills ships like the Python and cutter for me... I love its sleek design but my ocd kicks in when i try to overlook the seat placement.
You don't drive right?
for the price it performs very good and seems to have more "stats" for its size
Funny, I went from Sidewinder, to Cobra III, which made me the money to buy and outfit the Asp Explorer. Cobra III is a good ship. And you're right, she's a tough little ship. o7
It's Pareto optimal and an example of good game balance. It isn't strictly dominated by any other ship in its class... other small ships will dominate it in any given area, but none will dominate it in all. That's how you make sure ships have selling points.
Not sure if it is 'OP' but it is a bargain. I use it for resource gathering and planetary surface scans. The low rebuy cost and high maneuverability is what continues make it so appealing despite having a fleet of more powerful ships. It looks pretty cool too!
This video has me convinced that you are Pagefire but as an Elite dangerous channel
The Cobra is so good because of the nostalgia factor of 1984. Back then it was the only ship you could ever have.
It's only OP for a small ship. You can't output enough damage to take out a Deadly/Elite FDL/Anaconda and probably some of the others too.
I pvp in mine and often take out elite anacondas and pythons in it. G5 Frag Cannons and burst lasers are the way to go. Use hit and run tactics and your manoeuvrability correctly and you can do amazing things in this small wedge of terror.
@@milanondrak5564 Yeah, maybe in the pre engioneers days. NPCs don't have heat and no limit to SCBs and the cobra just plain can't output enough damage to negate NPC spamming SCBs. Hit and run means your ToT is so low they can get away with just regeneration.
Idk if you answer these questions. I just started and was wondering if you have a video on how to build the core internal items etc.
00:09 why is this so hilarious
A video from someone who cant compete against a cobra 3 in an FDL is the best source for info on that topic :P
I skipped the Cobra III on my way to the heavy class ships but now that I have them and spare cash I may go back to see what I missed...
Cobra 3 is fine how it is. Other than bringing its small hardpoints a little closer to the front. The Asp scout needs more internals and the vipers need more maneuverability. Then you have no balance concerns
I like the Cobra mk3 still got my original stayed in that ship for a very long time, at least until I got my Python and frankly that's what I view it as.... a mini Python good at a lot of things but not great at any one in particular (tho arguably the Python is a pretty damn good ship for cargo runs for its class and price). Despite the plethora of ships I own now I still use it from time to time and it still my favorite go to when I feel like messing around with smuggling or even doing some light pirating.
I believe the Cobra 3 is borderline OP. Nerf hammering this space Jesus half to death will make the EFFING COBRA 4 better than her. If any performance changes were needed she'll need a buff as small as possible in gamers terms/POV.
I'd fly the krait mk 2, but it's too expensive for me as I never play and only fly around, as the game is too boring for me otherwise.
The cobra is a work of art, only reason I don't uninstall this game
It’s op as hell.
Yet the ship is so early in the progression ramp that all the artificial barriers (large ship damage reduction vs smaller weapons, heavily overturned large ships that can pitch better than ships a fraction of the mass) let it get away with it.
They said, the cobra is the shining beacon of all that’s wrong with elite, you play the devs way using their HEAVILY buffed ships and flavour of the moment or you get severely punished in terms of reward/timesink/efficiency/RNG barriers.
Visually? CobraMk3 looks like a flying metal panini. I have 15 hours of play and have done nothing but zip around as Eagle, following my friends in wings. I consider this sufficient advertisement to buy a cobramk3.
Im planning on engenering an eagle to be a flying pest an overarmoured little wasp
Police shootouts, space pancakes, bouncing buggies...this was a good watch :D the viper mk3 dominated my early game, but back then I only knew how to bounty hunt. I've since come to agree with your assessment of the anaconda and that's been holding me over to 2.5 billion so far...one day I'll stop painite mining and get back to the game :D
It's been OP, they don't know. Turning circle is insane. Gorgeous ship also.
it's a good ship,
I have one just to fly that Onion Head Livery.
It doesn't need to be nerfed or balanced. Don't mention Nerf around Fdevs seems like it's all they like to do. Apart from not introducing more content.
Cobra 3: The better asp scout
Yeah it was pretty good back in the days when the grind was real,with today's easy money mining a Cobra essentialy lost all its appeal,you'll get a Python in no time and by then Cobra is pretty useless.
The cobra is never useless. I fly it often even though I have many technically better ships.
The Cobra mkIII is NOT OP.
Sounds like Yamiks lives in Hong Kong out his window!
Ooooooo shots fired! Oh wait, wrong turn of phrase.
Still have my original Onion Head and use her daily!!
Seriously, can you skip the annoying blah blah stuff and get to the point? Everyone of your videos are in 5th grader style, it's not entertaining .....
As someone that owns an Anaconda, Cutter, and has plenty of money, the Python and Cobra 3 were the ships I went to for just about everything. Favorite ship? Yeah, Cobra 3 for sure. I am disappointed Yamiks. You can't talk about this ship without singing praise to the video "Cobra Mk III by CMDR Bomon"
Well, I still fly my Adder, it's a OK ship (not the best but still) and I love it's looks!
I had a cobra once. I deployed the hardpoints. Got rid of it after that
I have to ask; How many of you out there have named their Cobra III 'Nemesis' in honor of the old novella, 'The Dark Wheel'?
Like all ships in Elite they have good points that make them wantable BUT for every good point FDev have made sure there is an equally if not more so bad! I can understand that you cannot make ships that are perfect but generally when you design and build a ship they are fit for purpose but not Elite ships. Passenger ships that can barely carry more than some battle ships and have lousy jump range. Fighters with lots of hardpoints but small distributers and terrible weapons placement! The list goes on. Fair enough that a well designed will have flaws but when the design flaws are so bad they can only be intentional you have to ask why!
The only thing the Cobra3 needs is a facelift. Love this ship.
I went the space hauling route so I never got to experience the cobra but I might buy one now
Do it, you'll love it like a faithful dog.
The Cobra is Jameson’s choice...
Yep save your money a little longer and get the cobra.
When will be your annual “Come Fight Yamiks” stream?
still not sure if ill be making it due to personal stuff. We still have the month of december so who knows!
is it nerfed ?
I am one of the commanders who had one for a little bit and ditched it asap for something bigger. Maybe I should reset my account and do it right this time...
Just buy another cobra mk3 and set it up with hindsight and experience under your belt. I have tons of ships and still find myself back in my Cobra mk3 often.
