I am currently sitting on 7 million, but I am still in a cobra. The reason being, I want to buy a type 6 for trade, but I wanted to really upgrade it right from the word go, hence the 7 million. As I am quite new to the game I was just after a bit of advice on which modules to buy all this 4a 3a goes over my head a bit. Basically for that amount of money what should I get? Thank in advance.

The Type 6 is a great cargo hauler (miner too) just don't get engaged in combat as it doesn't have the shields, agility or firepower to survive against combat ships like the Viper, I'd suggest keeping the mass low as adding military grade armour will toughen up the hull but slow the ship down and speed is your best defence (and there's a hull boost in the next release).
For weapons either fit shock mines or nothing at all as you should be boosting away from the enemy (drop some mines to distract them
), engineer the thrusters if you can but remember that 88 T of cargo will slow the ship down so they'll be some pirates you can't outrun when fully loaded.
Here's mine although it's heavily engineered, you can input engineered data into the modules if you want so my L3 DDT thruster mod will boost to almost 500 m/s with no cargo but even with stock thrusters it's pretty fast.

Thanks for that, that configuration is in my price range as well, I will go for speed above all else
