Newcomer / Intro Balanced config for a Cobra for mining, hauling, and defensive combat

[Hythos]

I saw someone had posted this config for mining:

I'm not sure I'll purposely be getting into fights or pirate hunting unless swapping to a pure combat config...
But I'm looking for a balanced load-out that would be ideal for mining and stand a reasonable chance for defending itself if being attacked while mining, or interdicted.
(I've searched through the forums, but people seem to go to one extreme or another, and nothing with a balance?)

I'd swap a mining laser out for an auto cannon 1 class 2 is enough I think.

I used a class 2 mining laser, a class 2 gimballed multcannon, and 2 class 1 gimballed beams. That was more than enough to deal with most pirate types.

Mining laser on one hard point, Mc and beams on another.
