So I've been very casually playing ED for a couple of days now and am sitting on about 750k CR. I'm looking to upgrade from the loaner ship to something that will make bounty hunting more profitable so I can fund a good trading ship.

I'm looking at getting a Cobra Mk III with a similar loadout to this (assuming I can find all the parts):

Is that a decent move from the loaner? I don't really want to spend several weeks trying to eek out enough creds for a Vulture or something that's going to run me several mil to buy (never mind getting decent equipment on it).

Also, anyone know where a guy can get his hands on a decent throttle? I've got a CH Combatstick (and I really love it), but I'm not impressed at all with their throttle offerings (for a wide variety of reasons).

bounty hunting? a viper, vulture, or asp are all popular choices.
A cobra will do in the interrim, plus it has some cargo space for trade runs to break up the bounty grind.
