Why is the Cobra MkIV the best ship in Elite Dangerous?

[Daniel Klimchuk]

 

[Jukelo]

Because I haz it and other people don't.

 

[Old Duck]

Because it's so amazing that a PS4 can't run it.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Something, something, rubber chicken.

In reality it is a nice ship, if you forget its sibling. Its like a mini Python and quite flexible if ponderous and slow.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Is it the amount of leather trim inside?

 

[Captain Willard]

A tremendous ship in its own right.

 

[Chris Simon]

CMk.IV is definitely in my Top 5
Nifty and versatile. Joy to fly.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Because it's abbreviation is C4.

Because is abbreviation is CM4, or Championship Manager 4, which is a football manager sim with legs, FD cleverly hinting that footballers have legs and that soon we shall have Legs too.

It all makes sense.

You are correct.

 

[ECLIP5E]

Because it’s got an extra toilet with a padded seat for those pleasant trips to Hutton Orbital.

 

[Traxx]

Good meme! Very thank!

 

[xzanfr]

It's got leather seats, and a CD player, player,player,player.
But I don't want to talk about it anymore.

 

[Troopi]

It's not. The best is the Krait mk2.

Unless your are an NPC - they must have pre-ordered... oh hang on a minute, my mistake, that actually means they would be in gold Sidewinders!

 

[wrmiller]

One opinion, shared by some but not by all.

 

[Vardaugas]

Best ship in the game? You got the wrong "IV" here. It's the Viper.

 

[wetwire]

Because it has 10 internal slots for a small ship.
The next closest is the Dolphin at 9 slots, but has very limited hardpoints (2 Small) where the Cobra MK IV has 3 Small and 2 Medium.
There is allot you can do with 10 optional internal slots.

You got a CD player? Mine came with a cassette player, which didn't work. Microsoft Office 3305 wasn't even activated and the fingerprint sensor to the door of the toilet wouldn't recognize my finger occasionally. Another "quality" product from Faulcon DeLacy. 1/10 - would not buy again.

That gave me a laugh, a fingerprint sensor on the toilet door that fails to work consistently.
You forgot to mention that the toilet itself backs up and sewage floods the nearby compartments.
"Dude why does your cockpit smell like thargoid dung?"

Well... I suppose it's the best ship for demonstrating the issues some players have with exclusive or time-limited content, perhaps providing Frontier with some additional marketing insight.
