we were on voice comms, I just didn't have it set to record mine. You can hear the other 2 guys, its a bit disjointed because my voice is missing.
Here is a Python beating 3 of us

They didn't the Python interdicted one of them. No one has mentioned the most surprising aspect of this encounter....That the other two managed to nail down the low energy wake... I've found it like trying to hurd cats.
I (the python) pulled the cobra from SC, then while I was sniffing around the vipers joined in via the wake
Yeah, he's not complaining about anything, sounds like both him and the Python had a good time.
Did I miss something or you? I did seem him doing fine energy managment and giving it shield 4 pips when engaging and only 4 pips to engines when he was disengaging.
You miss something man.
I have python (and every other ship, except conda at now) in garage and i have skilled friends in elite. They can beat my python easily when we are 3vs1. Skilled pilots in cobra/viper can take Python 1vs1 too.
You play like a total amateur - you miss that one point - failure is only your fault.
Please go, train more, play more and do not complain.

Most videos show you that people actually don´t use their SCBs at the right time when in combat. So I would not say it pointless, furthermore it main purpose is to give you the chance to survive for a small moment focus fire, which I guess is related to the conflict zone mechanics and odd aggro mechanics there. Sometimes just everyone starts shooting at you.
This isn't a please nerf the python thread, and it isn't a OMG shield cells OP (although I personally don't like the mechanic) thread.
I can post videos of me killing players, I'd feel like a bit of a idiot doing that to be honest.
I thought it was an interesting fight. If we won I probably wouldn't have posted it.

He was pretty worried. I like at the start he wasn't attacking you because you hadn't shot him yet. If you shot him first he probably would have just exploded.
Some time before the 1.04 patch low energy wakes had mass added to them. Nothing in any patch notes I've seen. It makes slowing down to enter low energy wakes much easier.
LOL! I'm herding dogs over here. I did train them to like cats...Didn't go with LEW...might confuse players. Regards

Fergal shared a good moment and you gents, instead of watching for what it is, simply a combat in elite dangerous, talk like you are the best fighters in the galaxy. Maybe you are. Maybe you are not.
For one Fergal shows a lot of people that is possible to jump together into the same instance and actually play together anywhere, unlike many nay sayers spread all over.
No matter the outcome and the mistakes it was a good watch of Open play.

Why the aggro? OP never complained even once. He simply put up a vid of his fight.
You seem to seeing whining where there is none. Chill.
Next time use higher class shield cells. And manage your power distribution! While he is shooting at you, 4 pipes to SYS and 2 pipes to WEP if you are shooting back or 2 pipes to ENG if you are trying to escape. And while he is not shooting at you, 4 pipes to WEP and 2 pipes to ENG.
1 Cobra should have used 4 Beam Lasers to bring down his shields. And the other 2 guys gimballed Multicannons only targeting his FSD.
Anyway, nice fight
We have no carriers to re-outfit in space. It is not eve. You have to work with whatever you have. And btw the counter to your tactic is just to ignore mostly the guys with the multis and just focus on killing the guy with the beams, that way the phyton will never run out of shields, because the shield damage will never be high enough. Besides that four beams are worthless against Phython shields as you just overheat a lot before the shields are down.
remove shield cells TOTALLY fro the game and increase overall shield capacity by 50-100%. then it comes down to skill. not who carries more cells.
and it would buff group-play......
giving cover, dropping out for recharge while the others still do DPS, etc.
or let there only be ONE cell to fire at all, for an escape attempt......
and after THAT nerf the python....python is NOT OP......only cells

Been attacked by a cobra with dumbfires before, between PD, 4 pips to shields, and SCBs, I didn't lose
Thank you for confirming my suspicion about dumbfire missiles not strong enough to smoke 4 pips to shields pythons that easy. You might leave this information this topic.
And btw, dumbfire missiles are immune to PD fire right now, it buggy and will be fixed later.
Who's complaining?

If anything this is a buff the Python thread!
One easy peasy way to test this out is to get two vipers and they fly 500m. Everyone is stationary and the vipers fire on the python, the python doesn't move. Now time how long before the Python killed. The time it takes will tell you how easy or hard it's going to be,
I would like to say "I believe this when I see it", the issue is, I have seen it, two noobs duking it out and the Python going down. Or once decent Viper pilot with plasmas and a bad phyton pilot. That sounds to me working as intended. What sounds to me not working as intended are 34 shield cells in a Python. (And I am not blaming anyone for using them, I just blame the defs for not thinking about it in the first place)
And btw, this was a232.114.579 credits Python, nut just 100 milion ;-)

But then isn't that pointless? All that does is make the fight last longer since both pilots will use their SCB's at the right time and once out, you're back to where you started. So is the point of SCB's only to prolong the fight?
The longer a fight goes on the more concentration and tired as factors come legitimately into play. I like that. There's nothing to say a fight has to be over in 30 seconds.
