I can't play since I fly in a Python and i'm already at 5+ million integrity repairs and it keeps growing faster than I can make money. This is completely insane and should have been the first thing to be fixed. So I guess no Elite for me this week either...

Have they documented that anywhere though or just swept it under the carpet? This is the first hot-fix notice I've seen.
Not to mention missions paying only 10% of their stated rewards, clean ships randomely attacking you for no reason....
Strange, at launch of 1.3 it cost me 750000 for 1%. Just tooled about for half an hour and I haven't got any wear and tear at all.
This has to be fixed, I cant keep up with it in my Python, 1 interdiction = ~4% integrity damage = 350k/550k depending on the speed when I dropped.

Thanks for supplying some fixes.
I understand that not ALL of the bugs can be fixed in the first few hours of the first work day after release.

I think its gonna go down to 4k/t. I just bought a cargo full of slaves and we will see how much they go for. Our group has been running an 8k/t route for 3 days now. Started in a T6, I'm in a Python now, almost at T9. Pretty ridicilous but oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

You should have read the description of the ship
The Python is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, boasting considerable manoeuvrability for its hulking size. Despite being exceptionally powerful and potentially useful in a variety of roles, the Python does suffer from exceptionally high operating costs, making it a potentially cost-prohibitive option for many pilots.
It is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, manoeuvrability, and protection currently available. In addition to being capable of holding its own against the larger Anaconda in a toe-to-toe frontal battle through its substantial protection and firepower, the Python is generally agile enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turret mounts.
The Python can also serve as a heavily armed freighter in that it can carry 284 T of cargo with a class 3 shield module fitted, or 292 T with no shield fitted, both of which is more cargo than the Type-7 Transporter can carry without shields fitted. Additionally, besides being able to carry more cargo while retaining shields, the Python can dock at Outposts since it utilizes medium sized landing pads. However, the downside to trading with a Python is its higher repair/maintenance costs and its shorter jump range when fully loaded.
The weapon hard points are located as follows: 1 medium and 1 large hardpoint on the top of the ship slightly behind and on both sides of the cockpit for a total of 2 large and 2 medium on upper surface, and 1 large hardpoint on the underside of the ship about where the cockpit is located.
Dangit. Now I have to go do RL stuff for 30 min. 
Hopefully this means that I will no longer drop ranks when completing ascension missions, like I did today.

I actually like the integrity damage through interdictions. Your ship is put through a rather violent spin and larger ships you would think would suffer from this. You don't have to pay it really, but for PvP, 30% hull life can be critical if you allow integrity to drop to 0, and I suppose this works as a deterrent for needless arbitrary interdictions as well.
