Cobra MkIII Custom MOD
I have just uploaded a wee mod which makes the Cobra MkIII available at Pittsburgh.
I know there are a dearth of ships available, but i have a scam to make this one a little more fun
I have included with the mod a blank .tga file with just the lines of the ship panels drawn in. The in-game model is accurately mapped to this .tga which makes creating your own custom cobra a piece of cake. It is incredibly easy swap the .tgas around with UTFedit - just remember to save it uncompressed .
By default the ship has a fairly tame skin, i considered leaving it completely blank but thought that was a bit cruel.
I know ragnarok (and possibly others) have cobras in development and their models look nice (this model is 'old school'...) but hopefully this will plug the gap for all us Jamesons
EDIT - A few folks have emailed me saying they dont have a .tga editor and/or dont have FLUTF/know how to use it. So here are some links to the .mat files for the original elite cobra and a military style cobra (screenshots below). Just rename your cobra.mat file in data\ships\cobramkiii\ to something else and then copy either of these files in as cobra.mat. If anyone has any decent textures mail me them and i'll stick them here.
Elite Cobra
Combat Cobra
