First you use this http://coriolis.io/outfit/cobra_mk_iii/04D4C4A3D3A3D4C----0003030303010101.Iw1-kA==.Aw1-kA== to smuggle/trade till you can afford better toys, or if you rather bounty hunt/missions/pirate because trucking is boring then http://coriolis.io/outfit/cobra_mk_...d03470303536e6q.Iw1-kA==.CwBhGYzBGXoJjKEx5A==
And of course the pirate faction paint (most important).

Not true. There are plenty of CZ in explored space that show up right on your nav panel. In the region around Orang for example.
I've been playing the game since the MAC version came along – May time I think. I've been bumbling around having some fun and I'm currently using a Cobra which has A4 Power Plant, Thrusters, FSD and Shield Generator. A3 Power Distributor and Life Support and a motley selection of other stuff. My question is about further upgrades. I cannot find any modules better than A4. I've done all the things about looking in High Tech, Highly Populated systems but to no avail. Are there limits to the class and rating that can be fitted to a Cobra or am I just not looking hard enough?
You cannot put a module that's bigger than the compartment. You can tell what size the compartment is by looking at the lighter number under the class and rating of the module currently installed. In a Cobra, most compartments are size 4. (I'm still discovering things about this game, and I've been playing for more than a year, so don't worry
Yes, there are limits. The outfitting screen tells you which size can be fitted into the corresponding slot. The numbers indicate the size, 1 being the smallest and 8 the largest and the letter determines the quality from E (worst) to A (best).
So for example, the slot that is named frame shift housing shows a 4 in the outfitting screen which means a size 4 is the largest FSD you can fit. The slot named power coupling shows a 3 so you can only fit a size 3 power distributor. You can always go smaller but not bigger. The Cobra has three size 4 internal compartements, for things like shield generator, fuel scoop etc. So you could install a size 1, 2, 3, or 4 fuel scoop for example.
Check out coriolis.io, there it shows what can be fitted into what slot. Hope that helps.
Thanks very much, that explains it. I guess it's time for a ship upgrade. Shame, I like the Cobra. Be safe.
What do you intend to buy next?
I'm not sure. I might wait for Horizons and see what the Cobra Mk IV is like. I also don't really have a game plan. I've managed to get to Competent (not withstanding my ranking on here, which I can't figure out how to change!), Broker and Surveyor. I've also got to Chief Petty Officer in the Fed and Lord in Empire. All by just bumbling around and finding out how stuff works. I've got 19,000,000CR so guess I should amass some more to buy something decent. Maybe I should park the Cobra for the moment and get heavily into trading. What do you think?
To increase your forum ranking I think you need to post more. The Cobra can be used for trading (especially rares) and some of the load outs on this thread are designed for that. Cobra is also great smuggling ship: again, see the setups on this thread. Cobra can also do light fighting. The next ship for trading would be the type 6. You could also go mining in either Cobra or type 6. If you decide to do mining, try HIP 16607. Next ship for fighting would be imperial courier/DiamondBack scout depending on your style. You could also go exploring in a DBx. If you still can't decide create another thread or private message me as I do not want to hijack this thread too much.
