In defence of the SuperCobra...

On a number of occasions, other commanders have dismissed the SuperCobra as a ship that they wouldn't fly (or that shouldn't even exist) on account of it being an "uber-ship". So I'd like to say a few words in its defence... I fly a SuperCobra, and think that it's perfectly okay to do so. ...

Well, at least it doesn't cost anything to give it a try and see how practical a solution it is...
