Cobra Mk I, Typical Loadout[]
The Cobra Mk I is a common choice for pirates. The following loadout adds a fuel scoop with cargo scoop, front and rear gun mounts fitted with 1MW pulse lasers, a brace of missiles, and a small energy shield. This leaves enough space in the hold for eleven 1-ton canisters. The class 2 hyperdrive gives a maximum hyperdrive journey of 10 light years, taking 7 days and consuming 4 tons (1,920 mps) of hydrogen.
