Nice to know even space pirates have good taste, but really who wouldn't want to stop for a few hours, at the very the minimum and admire the magnificence of a Cobra.got interdicted at Deciat the other day, thought I was goner but they just wanted to look at my Cobra4 up close
Sure pal, take a look!

Ah well, if we're doing the Mk IV's also...
I don't really like mining much - correction I don't enjoy it at all and have hardly ever done it!
But still, I had the Mk IV, so that's what I used it for, in case the name didn't give it away.
Maybe I should log in and actually engineer her and see what she can do - I don't think engineering was a thing when I first got her.

A very sophisticated looking cobra. Well done!
A dazzling Mk IV, beautiful colour, whatever you choose to do with this fine starship, the cobra will accommodate as its versatility is unmatched.Ah well, if we're doing the Mk IV's also...

This one serves no practical purpose other than pure nostalgia, but she does it so well. The only thing that holds this back from perfection is the presence of the twin gun ports*; if FD made the legacy single-port Jameson Cobra available as a flyable DLC I would buy all the arx.
*technically you could argue that in legacy Elite the representative image on the ship's viewscreen -- with twin beams -- never matched the external configuration of the Cobra, so twin guns are OK "from a certain point of view."
But I'd still love to be able to fly a proper old-school Cobra in ED.

A breathtaking example of everything that makes the cobra a masterful work of art!
That's one taxi service I would call again and again, just to ride shotgun in such exhilarating cobra's.
Apex Interstellar probably needs a more flexible player alternative akin to the Fuel Rats/Hull Seals. Time for the Cobra Cabs?That's one taxi service I would call again and again, just to ride shotgun in such exhilarating cobra's.
I totally agree, the modern cobra is polished and exhilarating, a true cobra enthusiast can admire all the sensibilities and design philosophies of the modern cobra, but nothing compares to the classic vintage cobra, that was overwhelming light years ahead of its time in all aspects and would easily run circles around its modern counterparts. "Jack Schitt" you have good taste, and a very appealing modern cobra.This one serves no practical purpose other than pure nostalgia, but she does it so well.

Yes! most definitely.
Not much needs to be said, but two words. glorious, perfection.
FDev could line up the name tag better though, it's a shame it has to go across seams and panels like that if it's a bit longer.
Brilliant tune!!
True, I want neon name signs and neon under body kits!
Two marvellous cobra exhibits.
