What do you do with an Anaconda once you have it?

[HeavyGroovez]

Its worth buying just for the sound of the drives winding up and down, the view from the bridge and the handling.

At the end of the day a lot of the value that i get from Elite comes from the simple pleasure of flying.

 

[Zvanya]

What do you mean, ''once you have it''
I'm not getting the Anaconda

This. Maybe later when I have hundreds of millions and nothing else to spend them on, I might consider it.

I explore for better trade routes and i guess just enjoy how it flys...

and keeps an eye on the rebuy -.-

 

[_Flin_]

I think I will switch to "Open" then

 

[Mercemary]

got my conda yesterday.
now i continue trading so i can afford upgrades (while keeping enough in my pocket to cover insurance!)
it was... one month to get conda. i guess its gonna be another one to upgrade it to my liking

I've not reached anaconda yet but instead of going for a fleet I am building up a fleet

my fleet is specialised

so at the moment I am building up a very specialised cobra for exploration - im not going far in it Im looking for mining opportunities in unexplored space. Its quite risky I need fuel to get back I need to be armed in case of trouble shield cells and so forth

I dont want to go off in a python and lose it becuase i run out of fuel - if i lose a cobra insurance will pay for it and kit it out (hence not a Asp)

Ill soon need a miner again super specialised

So what do you do when you have a anaconda? build a fleet of specialised ships to support it

Make sure it's able to fight or flee. Lot of human pirates in Pythons wanting to have a go now

One of the worst (and most expensive) mistakes you can make in this game is to buy an Anaconda before you can really afford it. Trust me you are going to need 100 million ABOVE the base price to equip it even moderately well so it can protect itself. As mentioned above there are many pilots in pimped out Pythons that can easily take out a poorly equipped conda and if you buy too early thats what you will be flying for a long time.

I also d like to know, but my guess is there is no real activity implemented for high end ship yet apart trading,
btw you forgot to mention that those 150 000 bounty reward mission are easily done in a well outfitted Viper which is far from the price of an anaconda

Just wait for the "endgame"...

<< Oh, no he didn't! OHHHHHHHHHH! :-D >>

Everyone is playing the easy solo mode where you practically get handed an Anaconda for showing up, then they go and blow up starter system noobs in open mode, aka real-man-mode. Didn't you know? There's at least three new threads each day bemoaning this travesty! Who will think of the children?!

 

[CMDR Sheehy]

Ram everyone...

Seriously. The only thing I see when I fall into the same instance as an NPC Anaconda is it's hull heading towards me. They don't even fire first!!!

 

[Panzer]

I trade with it, sometimes a planetary ring trip to blow random things up and keep things varied.

 

[EddyRockSteady]

I sightsee. Nothing quite like hearing that roar behind you as you boost

 

[TheNameIsJambo]

The 'Conda may be expensive, but to do it justice, you'd need to spend the same again on upgrades... Really, you're looking at a 300+ million credit bill for just the ship..

 

[Vyvian]

What do you do with an Anaconda once you have it?

Feed it mice and see if it grows bigger!?

 

[Elden]

Description says it may be outfitted with a small docking bay.

By the time I get one I would put a small landing ship in there and go down the planet while my buddy stays on the bridge just in case of thargoid attack.

we need crews so i can sit a little back and up and fly from my chair, as the "pilot/cammander" sits right now, i feel like wesley fricking crusher

All i have seen preying on noobs is Viper pilots. The trend for some seems to be bounty hunt to get a Viper, go back to the noob sector, proceed to only engage then kill unshielded and unarmed Haulers and Adders. When someone calls you a loser for what amount to kicking a puppy, proceed to flame the, for "being in Open and not prepared to accept PvP". Like seeking out those types of targets for "combat" could even be called PvP. If they wanted PvP action, they would engage evenly matched targets. Seems there are far to many pilots out there from the "everyone is a winner" generation where all the games have God mode that fear an actual fair matchup and seem to enjoy having no challenge or chance of failure. I am sad for them. For they will not know the true feeling of winning.
