Dusted off the old girl and now I feel young again!

Having piloted an Anaconda for quite some time, I felt like something was missing. Life as a pilot out in the void started to feel mundane and usual. So I headed back to the garage and took the covers off my old Cobra... *whistle* hot damn. Now there's a beaut I haven't seen in a long time. She was smooth to the touch and just waiting to be taken out for a ride once more. Without delay, I hopped into the pilot seat and... zzzzZZZZ BAM! 0 to 500 whiplash into my pilot seat, hot damn this girl has kick! Took her for a race around the rings of Rhea 6 and she flew through and true. Suddenly I received a distress call and came to the aid of a stranded pilot whose ship was destroyed by the hands of a local tyrant. After I dropped him off at the local station, I assured the pilot justice will be served. I proceeded to head out into the void and tracked down the tyrant, lurking about from the comfort of his dropship. I engaged stealth mode and silently crept up behind him. Before he knew it, he was space dust.

I feel young again and it's damn good to be back!

If you think the COBRA has kick on that boost, get yourself aviper iv. Not quite as fast on the top end, but holy hell that boost is explosive.

I prefer the mk3 with some enhanced thrusters.. 1 boost is 834ms.

but i wonder how fast i can make a cobra mk3.. the one i use atm goes 596ms.

Yup...Cobra Mk III....gotta love it.

It feels great to fly after being in a Python for days. It's just so quick and agile and can do it all....my favourite ship in ED.

Lemny....those speeds are insane...DDG5? Shame about the jump range...you need to visit the farseer. That said with ship transfers a poor jump range is not the big a deal it used to be.

Currently exploring in a Cobra, admittedly it s a MKIV, not very good jump range, but boy can it scoop, and the best thing about the MKIV against the conda is flying through canyons on moons, its so much more fun in a Cobbie.

The Imperial Courier with performance enhanced thrusters and G5 DD is pretty nippy. I have one that boosts at 777 m/s. :)

Just out of interest what's the fastest anyone has taken an Cobra Mk III?

I'm about to rngineer mine and it would be good to get an idea of it's upper limits as a benchmark.
