Should I get a turret or fixed mining laser?
I'm going to go with fixed tell me if I should use turret.
Fixed. Rocks are easy targets!
I'm going to take about an hour break because I have been playing all day so far.
Immediately go silent and rotate to face your opponent. Boost past them, dump a heatsink when temp gets critical, and initiate a jump to the next system in your route (and always have a route plotted to somewhere) the moment your FSD cooldown has finished, dumping another sink when you get hot again.
The critical parts don't have much to do with the particular ship.
The only thing you really need to do, loadout wise, with your Cobra is make sure it's got good drives, a good distributor, a heatsink launhcer, and that you've filled all those small optional internals with HRPs.
This is the key bit: there are probably only a few hundred players who will attack your Cobra, mostly hanging around high-importance systems, and there are about twenty thousand inhabited systems in your region. If you stay away from the real hotspots you'll be safe regardless of your ship, and can build up a bit more money, equipment and experience.
@OP,
I too was interdicted by the same person last night in a Power Play system, there is absolutely no counter to being interdicter whether by an NPC or PLAYER. All the advice in the world they are giving you just won't work as the way that FD put in a onesided game mechanic rendering the loss of a ship useless and just going thru the rebuy screen is all you can do.

I have avoided many interdictions by NPCs and this was my first time being interdicted by a player.
The majority of interdictions can be avoided before they even start, some can be fought off, and, with a modicum of sense, escape is usually possible...even if you've missed the multiple opportunities to not find yourself in normal space with a hostile vessel.
You can also practice your interdiction avoiding tactics by dropping into solo and flying around with expensive cargo in suitable systems which will encourage NPCs to interdict you.
That's a bad advice because it will lure you into a certain security, but when the first player interdicts you, your anti-NPC interdiction technique will fall apart quickly.
I can avoid nearly any NPC even in a T9, against players it's vastly different. The best advice is use a cheap ship in open to try it, eat the incoming rebuys and learn to submit & highwake when in doubt.
Fair point. Just ignore me 
Turns out I suck at mining.
Ok.
I'm going to totally Gank the PvP forum and post a mining discord link.

A well known
At the same time redirecting him from the forum where he will get the best advice about combat loadouts and to become a capable fighter.
I'm sure that is all just a funny coincidence
