Power distributor rocks..

At last I've spent the time and money to kit out my Cobra MkIII properly. I've upgraded its power plant, power distributor and shields.

It now sports two gimballed rating D beam lasers and 2 multi cannons on the small hard points.

The power distributor meant that my rating D twin beam lasers could be kept firing on a wanted sidewinder until it exploded without any thermal over-load!!!

Heat sinks installed also so with the tougher targets I can still keep the pressure on when the beams thermically over-load, only 20 cargo space because I've installed 3 shield cell banks one cat 4 rating B and 2 smaller cat 2 ones.

I assigned the heat sinks to V key so I don't have to bother with fire groups for them and likewise  assigned the Shield Cell banks to the B key.

My fire groups are simple to avoid confusion in combat :

Group 1: (Standard use)
Primary Mouse: 2 gimballed rating D Beams
Secondary Mouse: 2 gimballed rating F Multi-Cannons

Group 2: (Full ON)
Primary Mouse: 2 gimballed rating D Beams & 2 gimballed rating F Multi-Cannons
Secondary Mouse: Shield Cell Bank

My mouse also has 2 side buttons that I set to move through the fire groups which is handy!

I took it out for a quick spin into the warzone around Ashby city at Luytens star and it performed admirably. It also made mincemeat of several wanted ships that I stopped to check out. I'm pretty pleased with its load-out. Also it's now worth over 3.8 million (re-build cost of 150k or therabouts so I need to be careful not to get over excited!!!).
