==Overview==
It has improved performance and stats compared to previous iterations of the Cobra.<ref name=":0">[https://www.dpss.space/cobra-mk-v DPSS - Elite Dangerous Squadron] - 30 October 2024</ref> It has a new redesigned cockpit. The pilot's seat is in the center, with two [[multicrew]] seats on either side. The large cockpit windows offer great visibility.<ref name=":0" /> The floor is wide and transparent.
<ref name=":3">[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2289337034 Frontier Unlocked #10] - Twitch - 30 October 2024</ref> With exceptional cargo capacity for its size, the Cobra MK V is by far the best small ship for the trading and mining roles, and arguably the best in its price range, almost matching the Type 6 in cargo capacity while having a better range of hard points, allowing it to equip all available mining tools.
In combat, the Cobra Mk V excels, outclassing its own predecessors and all other small ships with the exception of the Vulture. Compared to the Vulture, the Cobra is faster, but the Vulture surpasses it in armour, manoeuvrability, shields and firepower. The Cobra is, however, more versatile and considerably less expensive than the specialized Vulture.
With a well above average jump range and a relatively low price point, the Cobra also performs admirably as an explorer, once again beating out its predecessors and most other small ships, but is slightly outclassed in jump range by the cheaper Dolphin and significantly outclassed by the equally priced Diamondback Explorer. However, the Cobra's arguably superior optional internals, including a class 5, as well as its greater visibility, improved manoeuvrability and two multi crew seats arguably make it more attractive in the role despite the lower maximum range.
