One of the all-time classic ships, there was a time when all new pilots owned a Cobra Mk 3. The Mk 3 is quite a good combat ship, being both fast and manoeuvrable. It is also a reasonable trading ship, but, like others in its weight range, this is at the expense of combat power.
The Cobra Mk 3 is ideal for deliveries, but is a little lightweight for assassinations. If your target manages to get some shots in, then you could be in trouble. Bombing and photography missions will be very risky.
