Cobra Mk IV? Is there such a beast?

Post by Commander Jamieson »

Another old favourite of mine, the Cobra from the Elite series of games just had a new fit out at The Commander's workshop. Check out its pilot and the detailed cockpit on the new Cobra Mk IV:

When there are no more games it is time for music.

I think it looks like a boat, nothing can beat the original Cobra with 3d, Vector grafix, ect. on the Archimedes. Which was the last Acorn PC ever made. :P

Its no quite the Old cobra Design, it didn't have a pointed front end but a wedge with more angles down to the ship made up of all triangles, but would say it Looks Too rounded.

But looks good anyway, sorry but Elite purist in me got out there ;)

Which is where (and almost only where, apart from the sonics) Freelancer scores. i'm playing a total conversion with just about every sci-fi ship ever, including the good ol' Cobra.

I like them, but it's not the old cobra I remember. I had Elite Plus, which featued the Cobra mkIII. That was amazing.

It isn't quite like the genuine cobra, but remember that it was bolted together out of bits of X2 junk - I mean, you wouldn't expect a Lotus Elan to come out of an episode of Scrapheap Challenge, would you?

Rapier has a good point. This definitely looks like Creative Universe stuff to me...

I always thought of the Cobra being a bit bigger than that, but cool anyway CJ,

Hey...looks good! :)

I am wondering what some of the other classic ships with a 'Frontier theme' would look like using the same method....interesting. :)
