in season 3, open up the Cobra Mk4 to all players and rebalance it
- Thread starter lefty1117
- Start date
Want me to send you some pics of my black imperial courier again?
I voted yes solely cause that ship is trash and currently doesn't deserve the Cobra name and if it gets opened up to everyone then maybe, just maybe, FD will do a pass on it to make it actually capable of bringing all 5 of it's weapons to bare without being out turned by planets.
I do get the pre order side of the argument but, right now it's god awful so the pre order is kinda pointless anyway

I get the 'no' camp and agree with most of the arguments, however, the role playing person inside of me says 'wrap me in cling film and smother me in chutney' - no, no it doesnt! - wrong thread and wrong forum - jeez I have told you about this before...
No, the role playing part of me finds it a little hard to believe that Faulcon DeLacy didn't take the opportunity with the Mark IV to upgrade to something really rather special. There's the AMG Mercedes and then there is the 'Black' which is AMG on steroids (to use a car metaphor)?

I've gotta say the handling has got to improve, I switched from a mk4 to a type6 to do some hauling and I'm pretty sure the fully loaded type6 actually handles better, if not at least the same.
This is not ok.
Conversely, the mk3 handles too well. Apparantly it's one of the faster ships in the game barring a viper or eagle. For a ship that's supposed to be an all rounder not excelling in any particular area but also not being bad, this again is just not ok.

These aren't cars though, a better metaphor is warships. It's a much bigger task to resdesign a warship than it is to put spoilers on a car and tune the engine a little. Plenty of dud warships have been scrapped or ignored. Take my country, for example. We could have upgraded our piece of Collin's class submarines. But it's cheaper and smarter in the long to just make new ones without all those flaws.
It is supposed to be a Cobra!
Of course it should perform better! [yesnod]

Don't you get founder world access when you hit "Elite"?
Yes, but not founder insurance rates.
Beta member rates are 96%
Alpha member rates are 97% (I think. Might be wrong, I wasn't part of the alpha)
I guess if all you do is travel around and fight things....sure. I guess now players who want to do that can just do that without spending so much time looking at hyperspace...I don't see the bad part of that.

I actually have the ship ... which is why i put in the bit about rebalancing it
lefty, what are you looking to do with it? There are folks here that can offer some guidance.

Did you pull up groggy-eyed in your brand new Python?
So... you don't want people to get a bad ship?
Why not give them a good ship then? All the work that went into it is wasted if people don't use and enjoy it.

But people do use it and enjoy it. I use the Mk IV quite extensively, and am quite fond of it as it is.
I wouldn't want to see any of the module slots taken away for better speed/maneuverability.
