Here is a Python beating 3 of us

[Kyokushin]

Anyone who thinks elite should be about the one spending the most money winning should go play another game.

Python shoul be buffet, because at now it can be beaten by one viper.

Take down 100mln ship should require cooperation of a few pilots.

YOu play, you work, you gain money, experience, then you have a powerful ship. No pain no gain. Deal with that.
Dont want play and want to win and beat every player and every powerful ship? sorry it wont happen.

People who think this, don't be morons.... The Python is a vastly more expensive ship than the tiny fraction of a cost viper/cobras/asps. Python should do this 24/7 especially against people who use gimballed weapons and have no shield cells.

No way in hell should a ship that takes only part of a day to acquire should have an easy time against a ship that takes weeks and months to obtain.

Too bad this will be the case once the Python receives it's nerf. Do the numbers... its a huge nerf. Frontier you are doing it wrong... listening to the wrong people. RIP Python.

The Python is getting a well deserved nerf... People like you seriously baffle me. 1v1 a Python can do a serious number on even a pimped Anaconda, and you think it's fine lol.

It's too good at too many things and it's getting toned down, and rightfully so.

 

[Kyokushin]

Are you joking right?

Anaconda is a piece of crap now.
Both python and anaconda should be buffed, not nerfed. Anaconda should be very powerful ship, and is not now.

Just stop, you're not going to make them un-nerf the Python and there's always the sell button.

Totally agree. In the point.

No, i will not stop. I dont need to sell python. I am flying Clipper at now. Python is in the garage, next to all other ships.

Now you're arguing against FD's entire design philosophy behind large ships, so good luck with that...

You've posted the same whine now about 100 times, I think everyone knows by now that you think the Python nerf is wrong and will make the ship useless. They're not going to reverse any decision just because you don't like it, so can you stop de-railing every thread?

 

[Kyokushin]

And i will post it 101 if it will be necessary, or i would just like to post it.

 

[Ian Skippy]

Dont want play and want to win and beat every player and every powerful ship? sorry it wont happen.

if you mean "want to fly a Viper and kill a Python? Sorry it won't happen." then I have news for you: it has happened and will continue to happen. Again, what is it with Python-pilots confusing reality with their imagination? Do they put something in their oxygen-tank or something?

Yes it needs a nerf but i fear they are hitting it too hard. I hope my fears are unwarranted and it turns out just right. if not I will have a ton of spare credits.

Then explain why you would ever progress beyond the viper if they nerf everything to be soloed by a viper?

What is the point of spending dozens of hours trading to get into a Python if you are just killed by someone in a viper?

How can you justify the cost?

 

[rtho782]

This was a Cobra, and two Vipers, total rebuy cost around 300k CR.

I was in a Python with an 11.5m CR rebuy.

I kind of think it's fair enough that I won.

The Anaconda does need a buff, it's currently a trading ship. Mine has only cargo racks on. Chaff is so overpowered that turrets are useless, making the Conda a beached whale.

 

[Kyokushin]

It should not happen because who have a ship for 100 mln and one month of work should not be beaten by guy in basic starter ship. It is logic.
Want beat guy in viper? so get more friends. Simple.

However, now unfortunately python is too weak and could be beaten by one viper with experienced pilot. You can try, it is just a skill, everybody can do it.

I am making my own list of noob-everything-nerfers, so better guys block me in game when you can

I don't even know what you are saying here. This really has nothing to do with a python nerf, or the like, but the idea that elite should be about money and not skill is awful. Three better prepared ships would have torn the python a new one. Now with elite mechanics odds are he could have jumped out but still. Added with the speed advantage when it went mammaries up, they could have all just bugged out.

There's other threads about the Python 'nerf'. Let's not derail the OP's thread.

 

[FenixInTheSky]

This typical moronic comments. Of course this game should not be based on more gear means win. It should be only a part of it. This game is stated by the Devs to be "skill-based". With this money=power fully NOT implemented though, there is no progression, and a good game needs some sort of progression. If this game was completely balanced like League of Legends, as you are making it seem, then there would really be no point in acquiring the Python as you wont have to go through weeks of painstaking grinding to get it. Also, being that this game has been stated by multiple devs as a "skill-based game" it should definitely take skill to take on a Python AND the money you invest in your combat experience so this game can have an element of progression.

The video was a good video, but there was a severe lack of combat competence. It's not their fault they were caught with the wrong set up, and not saying they are bad pilots, but they had gimballed weapons equipped and no shield cell. Not a good fight. If those pilots were outfitted right and had the right skill to use the ships... that would be on dead Python. I have fought Nemeth before... he uses gimballed weapons. He's a very easy kill xD

Spending the most money SHOULD be a factor, but not the focus. With this large nerf.. and if similar updates like that occur in the future, this will just become another balanced game like LoL but in space... and with vastly expensive ships that become a waste of time to acquire.

 

[Mr_Blastman]

Shield cells are way op imo.

They gots to go.

 

[RhymeRhyme]

That's me in the Python!!!

Was the best fight I've ever had, I actually thought I was screwed when you all jumped in!!

Python is Class A almost everything, I think I had gimballed pulse on at the time, I was expecting you to use more Chaff than you did, and with 4 pips to engine, you could have outrun me. I mostly kept power to engines to try to keep up, with whatever I could spare to shields.

Here's my rebuy:

You guys were awesome, if you want to go again I'll cover any losses you incur

How on earth did you make so many Credits? Any tipps? I just crossed the 2 Mio. barrier yesterday bounty hunting my Arsch off in my viper.

Explain why people should play and earn money for better ship, risk flying 100 mln ship with 8 mln rebuy when they can be easly beaten by a 120k and 30k rebuy cost craft ?

No sense to play at all. Get cobra or viper, make some pvp, and end of game.
... sory i have got my cobra from kickstarter, so i can run game, play 5 minutes and close, because it is most powerful ship and it could beat every 100mln ship. Or sell cobra and buy 2 vipers. I will be indestructible...

He just play.

I have about 350mln and i just playing too. It is not magic. Just playing.
It is really simple. He play, spent time in game, so he have better ship.

LMFAOAOA!!

Dude I highly doubt you have even FOUGHT an Anaconda that has about 500 million invested into it. Even an Anaconda with 200-300 extra million invested into it is a BEAST. Go find one to 1v1 then come back and talk.

Yes I have fought a combat Anaconda and I had to run due to running out of shield cells. Thus I lost in my maxed out Python.
