damn, she's gorgeous.

that design harks back to the debate on escape capsules. i'm sure it mentioned in the documentation that the capsule replaced the cabin or some such (correct me i'f i'm wrong) - that design there looks exactly like that; as if that whole cockpit section would have explosive charges under it to blow it out.

A nice interpretation on the og design, it has an understated elegance. Good work...

When do we get the whole dream team package? I haven't seen a status report on it in a while, but I thought it was fairly far along :).

Best wishes,

The only thing I can say is that it'll be done when it's done. Work and family and stuff take priority, I'm afraid!

Not many of the classic ships left to do, mind you...

Looks Cool, but rather different from the Classic Cobra Mk III.

Maybe stick with it as a Cobra Mk IV and realease as an OXP?
OXPS : The Assassins Guild, Asteroid Storm, The Bank of the Black Monks, Random Hits, The Galactic Almanac, Renegade Pirates can be downloaded from the Elite Wiki here.

Like the idea of Cobra MkIV a lot! The model is ace and branding it as the Cobra MkIV would add 'progression' to the game.

Can't wait for this OXP to be finished. Keep up the fantastic work.

Cheers
