Koneko Kobra

Post by RyanHoots »

The Koneko Kobra, designed and built by Koneko Industries, is a variant of the standard Cobra Mk3.

Sacrificing two missile slots and five tons of cargo for extra speed and energy (among other minor benefits), the Koneko Kobra is prepared for any pirates.

The first Koneko Kobra, Taylor Miller, started out as a standard Cobra Mk3, before Ryan Hoots, CEO of Koneko Industries, completely rebuilt her engines, replacing the two standard Cowell & MgRath thrusters for one big prototype engine from his company in the process.

Koneko Industries started mass-manufacturing the ship after an agreement with Cowell & MgRath.

The paint scene looks Thargiodish, not that there is any thing wrong with that. I will have to test it, but I am not sure about the one engine. I have seen one or two other cobra or larger sized ships with only one engine, example: Cobra IV, they looked peculiar to me.

Yeah, it almost makes the ship look sidewinder-ish. But looks are deceiving this time. :D

Didn't notice that... but now that I do, it looks vaguely fiercer...
