Thanks for all the help, tips, and load-outs!!!! I took the plunge a few days and got the Cobra MKIII. It took a little while longer as I was out in the middle of nowhere, and I am cheap skate and had to fly to one of the places with the discount ships. :D

I got all D class except for the FSD I went A class on that. Didnt touch the weapons, as I have no intent on fighting ANYTHING! I just boost, boost, boost away. :mrgreen: Some point in time I would like to learn how to do some combat, but at this point, all I do is file a insurance claim. :P

Having a blast in the Cobra doing some trading and BB missions.

Thanks again!!!

Fly safe out there!!!

I would suggest that as soon as you can afford to do so to upgrade the Power Distributor. It will allow you to boost more often. Better shields are a must if you get knocked out of SC by a wing. I run double Heatsinks so if I need to sneak, or my shields go down, I can go silent running and disappear of their radar as I boost away.

Jockey's been teaching me about the heatsinks.. I just forget to go to silent running.. I drop a heatsink and try to get a jump before they retarget me
