Cobra upgrade path

[poo417]

Hi all. I am after the upgrade path for fitting stuff to my cobra. At the moment I have spent around 1.4M mainly on the weapons a class 2 multi cannon and beam laser both gimbled around the 70k mark. Then 2 class 1 multi lasers around the 30k mark. I have upgraded the power coupler to A level, power supply to class 4 d level thrusters the same. Jump drive to c4 level also have a b level shield cell. Have 2 x 16t cargo. Most other things are stock or one upgrade.

I am mostly doing resource sights at the moment with some cargo run missions. I am happy with my cargo level and want to be able to kick ass. Where do I need to go next?

I am am after an idea of what order I should be upgrading in what order. Having looked around most of the posts are from pre release.

many thanks

I fancy keeping the Cobra and also upgrading as I go along, I have a £1m reserve fund and will upgrade the Cobra with the profits above this.


I have just upgraded my hull, I didn't get along with type 1 beam lasers so went back to type 2 pulse, and 2 sets of missiles to catch people going to frameshift, these are not up to the job of taking out the boss pirates,latest is The Imp, any suggestions on weapons to use for boss pirates?

My recommendation would be FSD to A-rating ASAP. The jump increase makes such things as rare goods trading a breeze.

The Cobra does not need further pimping then you already have done to be a decent BHer. Therefore, all that's left is trading (FSD) or saving up (ASP).

The sky's the limit, I've put about 12million into my Cobra.

Consider upgrading the Bulkheads. Expensive and with disadvantages, but an option when you want to increase your hull resists.

It really depends on your playstyle, what do you wanna do with the ship? Jump around or kick ass, as you say. haha.
I tend to upgrade my power generator, distibutor and thrusters before getting any crazy weapons. Just personal preference, but it's nice to be manouverable and not have an hour long recharge on my weapons.
This is very handy in dogfights.
I still have the stock shield generator on my cobra, havent had much problem keeping them up.. but I think i'm gonna upgrade them after i get a coupple of fixed class 2 beam lasers.

but yea usually
1 Distributor
2 Power generator
3 Thrusters
4 Weapons
5 ... whatever you feel you need to upgrade.

The game is pretty much the same as before the release, so I think the older threads may have a lot of good tips thats still valid in the released version.

Thanks for the replys guys. Actually I have got the first hull upgrade after I was rammed and died with125k of bounty to claim!!!

The sky's the limit, I've put about 12million into my Cobra.

me!!!! I thought 3m would be good. Is it worth the extra. I would love to end up at a python fully loaded but that is a long way away.

Keep coming. I am finding killing random npc stuff at resource points fairly easy but I want to move up to killing 'bigger' stuff.
