Cobra Mk V and more...

I thought I heard 4 class 1s but I suppose that would just be crazy.
So its essentially a better MK 4 with zoomy Mk 3 bits.
And...and those ship kits. I make drunk pancakes more shapely...

I fear it will be even hard to get 55 LY, even with Class 5 GFB - reasonably outfitted.
That kit was damned ugly.
I've hit flies with newspaper and found the squished remains like that. Being fair it was the first configuration that looked like melted cheese stuck to a fighter jet, the rest (esp the T-8 one) looked very nice.
I'm more hyped now. When I heard it was a medium, I kind of stifled the inner mehs a lot because it looks cool, but we have too many mediums already. IDC about the jump range too much (I'm sure it will be good enough), but I really hope it is a fast ship.
Medium is tedium.
It very much feels like pushing the giblets of an Asp inside a Cobra.
Got to agree with you there!
IMO big bulky ship kits look dreadful...those wings/flaps on the front are just waaaaaaay to big. I think the kraits have something similar, which I am also not a fan of.
Ship kits should be smallish and should compliment the current ship.
Some ship kits are just amazing and are a great addition to the ships role and appearance...and some are completely the opposite. Love the survey, extraction and the new quest kits...not a fan of big flappy flaps that dominate a ships aesthetics.
1hr 3min 16sec is roughly where the Mk V ship kit is showcased.

Its the front canard wings that set me off.
I'd be happy if those front flaps got changed to some sensor probe thingies or similar bumpers to the vulture than alter the sections either side of the cockpit.
They look like those pieces of krait and python kit that I never use.
For me its the mix of faceted edges and rounded WW2 fighter like appendages that send wrong signals to my hands.
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. I can already see that the Cobra Mk5 will have the same issue as the Mk4. Both are heavier than the Mk3, yet they have size 4 thrusters. Because of this, the ship will be sluggish and slow. My fully engineered Cobra Mk4 flies at about 270 m/s without boost and ~430 m/s with boost, which is far from sufficient for a small combat ship. It can easily be outrun by the Type-8 and the Python Mk2 (the latter achieves truly incredible speeds).
It’s clear that the Mk4 and Mk5 thrusters need to be upgraded to size 5 right away; otherwise, the ship will end up being underwhelming.

Improve Cobra Mk IV
Since there are new technological discovery in game and Cobra Mk V on the horizon. I've suggest improve prev ship a little bit. I like to fly small and medium ships but when i see that Type 8 more maneuverable and faster (~531 vs ~440 - lol) then small fighter ship - that looks weird to me...
I will be buying the stellar edition, but I will probably just leave at least some of the kit parts off when outfitting, but I really like the standard look anyway. I do the same with the Python Mk2. The more I think about it, the more I think this will become one of my most used ships. It seems like it will be ideal as a fast (fingers crossed) light salvage ship for PP and it will be great for Odyssey stuff too.
After info that this is S pad I want to buy it now ;D

Did they say something about mass?
Ship is bigger, have more weapon slots, almost the same Optionals as Mk4 but same trusters as Mk3. So, what do you think? Of course it will be slow and heavy on turns
And that class 5 GFB will mean you can only have a size 4 scoop or vice versa.
