Oh yes. New Ship

Get yourself an adder then. It can do everything the hauler can do and it can defend itself. Only about 80k credits so it's pretty cheap
Congrats. And yes the Cobra is a great ship. It will serve you well for a long time. Trade or Combat it does well. Even exploring if you get the itch. I was finally able to kill an Elite Anaconda when I got the Cobra.

Got a shiny Cobra last night.
So I take off in it, and maybe its the superior engines or thrusters compared to my previous ship (Hauler), but I lift up vertically so fast I actually hit the top of the station interior!
Brand new ship and I've scratched the paint before leaving the bloody station! I couldn't leave the station fast enough, felt kinda embarrassed.

I'm flying around in a Vulture or Python depending on my mood, but I still miss my old Cobra at times. The turning and boost speed are second to none, and its a true multi-purpose ship. Battle wagon, light hauler, deep space explorer... it can do them all.
In fact, thank you! I'm going to rebuild my old Cobra tonight and take it into a RES for old times sake.

No No No! lol!
I went that route and regretted it! I owned an Adder before I finally found a Cobra MK III, and after getting a Cobra all decked out, I thought it made sense to buy another Adder and turn her into a well equipped miner/explorer. WRONG! I just couldn't get the ship configured the way I wanted, and having ONE LESS MODULE SLOT was really a deal breaker.
So what did I do instead? I bought a 2ND COBRA MK III!
While this didn't seem to make sense at the time I bought the Adder, now after loading out the second ship with all the mining and exploration specific modules and gear, PLUS the additional module slot, I think this really is THE WAY TO GO!I know there are other ships out there that put the little ol Cobra MK III to shame, but I would need enough credits to literally buy a fleet of Cobras to afford ONE of those bigger ships. Now having spent enough time with many of the smaller vessels, I really do feel that the Cobra is the best overall ship to own at my rank and levels.
Having two of them with each built for a specific type of mission, I can do my various activities far more efficiently, and the cockpit is always that nice familiar layout and great visibility that I LOVE about the Cobra's cabin design.
