You are probably right, but I have excess of engineering materials and no other ship to engineer-up (all others are already G5) so why not to engineer everything ?
It does. These are the statistics on Inara:
Cobra Mk IV [Ships set as main: 201] [Ships total: 5193] 0.67 %
Alliance Crusader [Ships set as main: 51] [Ships total: 3536] 0.45 %
Asp Scout [Ships set as main: 86] [Ships total: 3238] 0.42 %
It's a great small mining ship.
I just bought one before I went to Alec Turner's Great Planetary Expedition, just for fun. Black also. When I finally managed to get her back to Jameson, I removed the 6 SRVs and let it collect dust.
I am impressed by the sheer number of optional internals (10), especially after the patch that added 2 x 1 for small ships. I think it's number one in this department for all small ships. Now that I have it and it's engineered, I may use it from time to time. Probably in the bubble only, since it doesn't have more than 35ly jump in the current heavy, "combat ready" incarnation.

It's internals make the ship.
you have zero engineers unlocked AND a Cobra MkIV?
No engineers, cobra mk4, haz res.
That's not exactly a winning combination.
A cobra mk3 would be more viable.
If you had engineers, i'd recommend by tank build, B rate everything, engineer everything for integrity, slap sturdy MC or cannon turrets on all hardpoints. Between insanely high integrity and resistances, you can laugh at enemies even when your shields drop.
It's not for me, it's for a friend returning to the game after not playing for a long time.
Thanks for the suggestion!
my is my position as well.
I've just flown mine as a materials gatherer.
Notwithstanding the fact I forgot the limpets (stupid me!) I've taken out a pirate asp with less than optimum weapons.
Its been its been pretty good at landing on relativity tight sites (in canyons etc) that my python struggled with so I'm going to give it a good go and see what happens.

Think Ima gonna flog me ol' Phantom an' get me a Mk4 again.
I wonder if someone opened a support ticket and told Frontier, "I really like Old Duck and I'd like to gift him my unused Cobra Mk IV", would they do it? We should try as an experiment!
You’ll probably just get back the generic ‘...we have nothing to announce at this time...’
