Great video for newbies and experienced pilots alike. You mentioned the ship, but not the "pilot". In order for this ship to perform as your video suggests, it takes a "good" pilot.
It's not so much the ship you have, but how good you are at piloting one. Even a bad ship can bring rewards if you have the piloting skills required.
For me, I bypassed the Cobra III, because as a backer, I was awarded a Cobra MKIV before the game started. I did have to work my way up to buying one, but once purchased, I flew it for at least a year with great success. Of all the ships I own, it's still my favorite and can do most anything I ask of it.
+1 for the video.
