'''Interdiction''' is a term for when a [[Ships|ship]] is intercepted by another vessel during [[Supercruise|supercruise]] mode. When a ship is interdicted, it starts a small minigame, where the ship being interdicted must fly towards an escape vector to run away. The interdictor must follow the ship and try to fill up its progress bar against the efforts of the interdicted player, or they will simply fail and the person will get away. The interdicted may choose to submit to interdiction by lowering throttle to zero, resulting in a much shorter [[Frame Shift Drive]] (FSD) cooldown and no heat or hull damage compared to forced interdiction.

Upon successfully interdicting the person who was interdicted drops out of supercruise mode and into normal flight mode and takes small heat damage and their FSD taking a long cooldown. Interdictions can be caused by System Authority Vessels, [[Bounty Hunter]]s, [[Pirate]]s, and other players.

System Authority Vessels will generally interdict only to scan for criminal status ([[Bounty|Bounties]]) and activities ([[Illegal Goods]]/[[Stolen Goods]]). If either scan turns out positive then they will begin to open fire on your ship otherwise they will send you a message to continue on your way.

When [[Bounty Hunter]]s interdict you they will generally scan your ship to determine your criminal status and if their scan reveals a bounty they will open fire.

[[Pirate]]s currently act in one of three ways when they interdict you. Either they will open fire immediately in hopes that you will jettison cargo, they will send you a message instructing you to "''Give up your cargo or die!''", or they will scan your cargo before demanding you jettison it. The end goal for the pirates is to relieve you of your cargo and they do not generally care if you live or die in the process. The more honorable of pirates however tends to try to spare your life unless they feel the need to do otherwise.

==Notes==
* [[Frame Shift Drive Interdictor]] introduced which allows players to interdict other ships. <sup>(Beta 3)</sup>
* Ships will take more damage when interdicting at higher speeds than lower speeds. This damage also happens to the interdictor.{{cite}}
* If the person who is being interdicted has their throttle at zero or near zero, they will automatically be interdicted with no minigame, heat, or hull damage

{{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. The distance between two hardpoints is quite large, which may cause some trouble when mounting multiple fixed weapons since it's hard to hit with all of them at the same time.
