The '''Cobra Mk III''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]]. A time-honoured and well-respected design, the Cobra Mk III debuted in 3100 under the banner of its original manufacturer, Cowell & MgRath of [[Lave]]. The company has since been acquired by Faulcon DeLacy, which produces the modern iteration of the Cobra Mk III. The ship is a popular choice among new pilots looking for a jack-of-all-trades at an affordable price, and even experienced and wealthy pilots are known to return to the Cobra Mk III later in their careers. | The '''Cobra Mk III''' is a small [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Faulcon DeLacy]].

In combat the Cobra Mk III is quite potent. It has impressive damage output and defences for its price tier and it is very powerful when outfitted and engineered correctly, making it good at both Bounty Hunting and Pirating. The downside of this ship is the combat ability relative to other ships. For bounty hunters who are attempting to tackle skilled opponents the Cobra Mk III can be outmanoeuvred by [[Eagle MkII|Eagle Mk II]]s and [[Viper MkIII|Viper Mk III]]s, however, its large cargo bay makes it more viable for pirates. | In combat the Cobra Mk III is quite potent.

As a [[miner]], the Mk III is very effective. The Mk III's additional hardpoints, compartments, and cargo space compared to the Adder make it very effective at its job, and it can even bring along [[Limpet]]s due to the extra space. It is an excellent early choice for miners until they can afford a [[Keelback]]. | As a [[miner]], the Mk III is very effective.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: two Class 2 hardpoints in front of the cockpit on the upper surface ship, and two Class 1 hardpoints on the underside of the ship. The distance between the two Class 1 hardpoints is sizable, which may cause some trouble when mounting multiple fixed weapons since it is hard to hit with all of them at the same time. The pilot's seat of the Cobra Mk III is to the left of the centre of the ship, and has the co-pilot's to the right. | The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: two Class 2 hardpoints in front of the cockpit on the upper surface ship, and two Class 1 hardpoints on the underside of the ship.
