Cobra Mk IV

The ship is mostly pointless. And locked so it does not bother anyone.

I propose:
  • add it to the Frontier Store for few bucks
  • inherit Cobra Mk III speed bonus (that way it will be still somewhat slower than Mk III due to increased weight)
 
  • inherit Cobra Mk III speed bonus (that way it will be still somewhat slower than Mk III due to increased weight)

The CM4 should not get a speed boost without losing something else in return. Its a great small ship for many roles and quite unique. No other small ship has the same amount of internals. Its a great miner, pirate ship, exploration ship, and even makes a decent heavy combat ship.

What FD could do is release a Cobra Mk5, that blends some of the strengths and weaknesses of the CM3 and CM4.
 
I propose the Asp Scout Mk 2 is a non LEP owner exclusive. So if you own Mk 4, you can't have this. That way, everyone can be miserable in equal measure.
I'll take an Adder Mk II with better engine sounds and a very new, clean cockpit, please :D

Oh, and let me fly from the left seat!
 
Sheesh, this topic hasn't been touched in like what, two weeks?

@OP
Use the search function and you'll see that you're not the first, second, tenth, eightysecond or onehundredandtwentyseventh to start whining about the Cobra mk4.
 
It is great for storing powerplay weapons on...

And FDev messed up here, and they know it, and if they would do anything to change this, there would be several CMDRs that would be very upset about FDev changed their exclusivity, just as there are CMDRs that would not really care if they changed this.


So OP, care to explain how you would go about to convince everyone that was promised this exclusive access to this ship that they are OK with changing is, as that is at the core of this issue...And even if FDev would launch a Cobra Mk5, for all important aspects are a copy of the Mk4, you would still get CMDRs that complain that they still cannot have a Mk4 despite them having access to Mk5 that is the "same" ship, just a different name...
 
I'd rather see a Cobra MkV, honestly. See if it can rival the eagle's speed while still retaining some multi-functionality. Or maybe just surprise us with some other feature instead. As long as it's still a small ship.
