I would also need a little ship help.

What's the difference between the Viper Mk4 and the Cobra Mk4 when I need no cargo because I'm not interested in trade.

I think I like the Viper 4 more.

(Especially for Bounty Hunting.)

The viper IV has better shields, a stronger hull, is faster and more manoeuvrable, but very slightly reduced DPS (the Cobra Mk IV has one extra small hard point).

There is also the fact that the Cobra IV is restricted to those that had already purchased both seasons before Horizons came out.

For bounty hunting only, I'd say the Viper is the best choice.

I will buy yet a cobra mk4 because i'm not sure if bounty hunting is a nice thing.
Because: "Pirates are cool"

I question what I should make out of this game for me?

Can compare them all. Even test outfit them to see what you would want and how much it may cost you.

I use an AspX, DBX, and Python.
The AspX is a very good mulit-use ship.

Have to just basically agree with everyone else. The AspX is a great ship to aim for from where you are now. I have never owned a Cobra MkIV, but I have had and still have a Cobra MkIII and I love it. I also still have an ASPX and love that too. I have had a DBX in the past and found that to be a useful ship to have between the Cobra and the ASPX, but if I did it all over again I would probably not bother with the DBX and go directly from Cobra to ASP

Most pilots I talk to are wouldbe miners, so they go Cobra, T-6, AspX. Just skip the cargo ship, and go right to an AspX. Its a great boat
