SakashiroEpisparhShe is not that fast anymore - a cutter will have 190m/s disadvantage that will give you 31sec for long range rails abuse. The time with FDL would be 51sec.
FSD cooldown time is 5 seconds. High-wake charge time is 15 seconds flat, low-wake can be as short as 5 seconds if the ship is beyond mass lock range.

The Cobra III is E:D's Millenium Falcon.
Are you saying that because of the shape, or the classic-ness?
James HussarThe Cobra III is lovely. It was my first upgrade, before I really understood Outfitting, and the capabilities and performance of that ship, even stock, as compared to the Sidewinder really opened up the gam for me. It made me really look forward to the other ships for some future point, but it made the game a lot more enjoyable onto itself.
I haven't flown it in a very long time, because the ships that follow it are even better for how I prefer to play the game.
Which I guess makes me wonder why there isn't a specific set of activities only available to Small ships. Outposts don't offer a Large landing pad, and this adds richness to the game - some systems only have outposts, and trading with outposts can offer better per-ton trade and mission values, which encourage you to fly Medium ships. But there isn't anything strictly requiring the use of a small ship, and IMO that's a gap.
Amata LireinI bet this question has been brought up before, but I'll ask it anyway: If you had to make a comparisson of every ship in E:D to another one in any other franchise (not by looks alone, but mostly by capabilities), what would it be? As an example let me bring up the one most people make:
The Cobra III is E:D's Millenium Falcon.
Sir SprockettWhat is your mass and your top boost speed?
WIth that tanky build I survived a long time last night against his fully engineered ship, I got him down to 94% hull after 7/8 mins of fighting. I could get my guns on him much easier than he could on me.

Not saying it can't be done with the Courier, it's just a much steeper hill to climb. The Courier has the third lowest hull mass (after Hauler and Sidewinder) and the fifth lowest armor hardness of all ships in the game (excluding SLFs) but a base shield strength on par with a Federal Assault Ship or an Alliance Crusader. It's the only ship to combine the benefits of enhanced performance thrusters and a class 4 power plant. It has the DNA of a high-speed shield tank, so turning it into something else might prove to be difficult.
But don't let that discourage you!
