{{quote|The Cobra Mk III is a classic all purpose ship found throughout human space. The model was first built in Lave Cowell & MgRath shipyard in Lave in 3100. Despite its age it remains a popular ship for lone pilots who value its balance of carrying capacity and ability in combat.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a larger and more popular version of the Cobra Mk. I. It was first seen in service in 3100 AD, originally manufactured by Cowell & McGrath Shipyard, Lave. Since Cowell & McGrath's acquisition by [[Faulcon DeLacy]] it is now branded as a Faulcon DeLacy made ship.

The Cobra's carrying capacity, being more than double that of the [[Hauler]], and its cost, being almost one third that of the [[Type-6 Transporter|Type-6]], makes it a logical stepping stone for aspiring [[trader]]s as there is no other ship capable of hauling more cargo at the Cobra's size and cost. In addition to its large cargo hold it has much better combat potential than freighters and can defend itself or run away from hostile [[interdiction]]s. What's more is that the Cobra is an ideal craft to plunder the space lines in for a [[pirate]] or [[smuggler]] due to the Cobra's ample capacity for loot, the ability to outrun most other ships and its relatively low heat signature.

The downside of this ship is the combat ability relative to other ships. For bounty hunters who are attempting to tackle skilled opponents the {{PAGENAME}} can be outmanoeuvred by [[Eagle]]s and [[Viper]]s while being easily outgunned by [[Python]]s and [[Anaconda]]s.

The {{PAGENAME}} is also a good and affordable [[explorer|exploration]] ship due to the sizeable [[Fuel Tank]] (x16) and the amount of [[Internal Compartment]]s which allows for the placement of the necessary exploration modules such as a [[Discovery Scanner]], a [[Detailed Surface Scanner]], a [[Fuel Scoop]] and a [[Auto Field-Maintenance Unit]] without the need to remove the [[shield]].

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 2 medium hardpoints in front of cockpit on top of ship, 2 small hardpoints on the underside of the ship.
