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!!!).
