So I was grinding trade to make my way up to getting a Cobra. Was going fairly slowly then I happened to notice a mission looking for some metals with a reward of 180k credits. Thankfully I had previously discovered a neighboring system that had a single station that exported metals, including the one I needed. So with two jumps I was able to snag a 180k credit reward, which got me in range of the Cobra's price. So now I've got a Cobra, but no idea where to go to upgrade it. This is probably my biggest annoyance with the game so far, they made upgrading your ship a god awful slow grind of manually searching station after station, system after system, and what makes it even more annoying (aside from the frequent interdictions which happen if you're in "secure" space or out in the middle of no where) is that when you dock, you have to go down to the hangar just to see what upgrades they have, so having to see that slow animation every time just to find out there's nothing there... this game is so advanced in some ways, and yet far behind real life technology/capabilities that have existed for decades. Making searching for upgrades as one of the grinds in the game is really stupid design.
If this game is going to launch in this state in two weeks, it is not going to get very good reviews. It really is only half way complete.
