The pilot's seat of the Cobra MkIII is to the left of the centre of the ship, and has the co-pilot's to the right. It is a multipurpose ship and as such is designed to perform adequately in all roles. | The pilot's seat of the Cobra MkIII is to the left of the centre of the ship, and has the co-pilot's to the right.

The Cobra's carrying capacity, being more than double that of the [[Hauler]] and [[Adder]], 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. If the MkIV is not an option then it can remain viable due to its small landing pad requirment. In addition it has much better combat potential than freighters and can defend itself or run away from hostile [[interdiction]]s. | The Cobra's carrying capacity, being more than double that of the [[Hauler]] and [[Adder]], 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 combat the Cobra MkIII 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 MkIII can be outmanoeuvred by [[Eagle MkII]]s and [[Viper MkIII]]s, however, its large cargo bay makes it more viable for pirates. | In combat the Cobra MkIII is quite potent.
