The Cobra MkIV is Faulcon deLacy's development of the famous Cobra MkIII. It's a heavier and bulkier ship than the MkIII, but packs an extra punch and its better weaponry placement makes it a more effective combat vessel. It's tougher, to improve survivability, and allows better upgrading, but at the expense of some of its agility.
— In-Game Description
The Cobra MkIV is a multirole ship manufactured by Faulcon DeLacy. In contrast with the versatile Cobra MkIII, the MkIV is designed with a greater emphasis on combat effectiveness.
Overview
The Cobra MkIV is extremely similar in concept to the Viper MkIV, having better armour, compartments and damage but having drastically reduced mobility.
As a combat vessel the MkIV has impressive shielding and armour as well as high damage output. This lets it easily deal with other ships and it can put up a fight against even large ships. This comes at a cost as it is much slower than the MkIII: even with fully upgraded thrusters it struggles to keep up with a Vulture. The manoeurvrability also suffers a huge deal, now at a lowly 3 making the MkIV very sluggish in combat. With all of its hardpoints at the front this makes it easy for nimble ships to take advantage of this weakness and take the MkIV out.
As a trader the MkIV has a very impressive 88t of cargo; putting it slightly behind the Keelback and Type-6. In fact the Cobra MkIV has the most internal bays of any ship that can land on a small size landing pad and the highest cargo capacity. This makes the ship a viable option for traders and it can be more beneficial for those looking to destroy incoming pirates, as the MkIV is more than capable of self-defense.
As an Explorer the MkIV has a lower jump range than its predecessor due to its higher weight so it is much less viable in the role. It can carry more cargo however so long range trading is more accessible; however the T6 is more useful at this role.
The Cobra MkIV has one more small hardpoint (three small, two medium total) and better hardpoint placement than the Cobra MkIII: Two medium hardpoints are located in the same place as on MkIII and three small hardpoints are in a tight group on top of the ship. The interior is identical to that on the MKIII.[1]
