Yeah in Rui space, 15% off all modules and ships. The anaconda is pretty easy to find, I'm still looking for a cutter, the corvette is I believe in the system Tote.
Anaconda - Does it stack up to new ships for combat?

I really adore to use my Vette. I used Conda in BETA phrase, but i didn't like its yaw/pitch ratio. Noone talks about it when to defence Conda in this kind of topics. Vette is near to Python in this criteria and it has lots of firepower than Python. I loved my Python and i jumped to Vette besides Conda.
In PvE you can use Conda or Vette. Your taste will be criteria in this. I also like Vette's shape than Conda.
p.s. If you will use Corvette, i strongly recommend 5 gimballed pulses and 2 B4 Cannons. Especially killing big ships (FAS, Python, Dropship, Gunship, Clipper and above) Cannons are very effective weapons in close distance. Usually they cause 15-30 percent hull damage instantly!!!

You can find a conda at 15% discount by searching using this site with a Rui filter: https://eddb.io/station
Search with "Anaconda" in the "Station sells ships", enter "Li Yong-Rui" in the "Powers" filter, and put your current system in "Reference system", then sort of "Distance ly" for the closest option

Not with a Bi-weave shield. I can power an A7 SCB with 2 C4 Plasma and pulse lasers, 2 heatsinks, a chaff launcher, a B rated KWS and the rest are A rated shield boosters. I don't even need to play with power priorities
I'd suggest LHS 20, Lembava, and Diaguandri for places to shop for your condas. All li-yong rui and have discounted parts. I will warn you that the latter two however, hold more explorer-freindly equipment and are considered a shopping hotspot for exploration.
Oh. Well it's true that the 2 C4 Plasma require a good half of my capacitor to fire both
The Chevette can barely get out of its own way, let alone stand much of a chance against smaller more maneuverable fighters. I danced around one harassing it in a Vulture staying away from its hilariously chosen fixed PAs on the roof and slowly pecked at it keeping its shields down till they just bugged out probably from frustration. Anaconda is still top dog all day.
Don't run. Wit HRPs the Conda has over 5k hull. You can outlast anything while your shields go back up. In a HAZRES I
ed up and attacked two Condas, 2 FGS, and 2 FDS at once. No SCBs, less than two rings of shield (bi-weave, 6 A ranked SCboosters). I only lost 14% hull. With bi-weave shields it only takes a min or two for them to go back up (with 4 pips). A clipper took 13s to drop my hull 1% (face tanking).

Interesting. Were you also using military composite armor or reactive / mirrored armor, or are you rocking lightweight alloy in your bulkhead slot?Don't run. Wit HRPs the Conda has over 5k hull. You can outlast anything while your shields go back up. In a HAZRES I
The anaconda is best for REZ, explore. Corvette is a worst nigthmare of Anaconda with litteraly no chance to survive. And Corvette was build with a second task - be a godlike in supercruise and stay superior in system space. In REZ Corvette is not so good as conda. But in supercruise Conda is the worst ship ever. I can't say anything about Cutter. I have only Conda and Corvette. If you prefer to use Corvette in hazard Rez, then i can say to you, that is a bad idea. Better to use 4 pulse, 4 MC Conda, than Corvette with 2 4PAs. Yes, it's fun. But if fun for you is nothing but only a CR/H. Your choice is a Conda.

Military, but it does not add any type of damage reduction (just the stock armor value) so with HRPs you would be fine with nothing (still over 4K hull).

What? The Corvette is far more maneuverable than the Anaconda. Also, I found you can easily put C3 weps in the C4 slots. It almost feels like it was made to put lasers back there. You can fire 2xC1 2xC2 & 2xC3/C4 all at the same time keeping the target just above the "waterline". As far as longevity, you can sport a C7 Shield & 2 C7 SCB's, that's a combo for true staying power.
Very true. If you're only interested in RES pirate-popping, you don't need anything more than a Vulture or an FAS if you're feeling fancy. The Anaconda / Corvette will be more useful vs wings and you can stay out a bit longer as well perhaps.
PvP is a completely different animal. The only way you're going to get ruined against the big ships is if you run out of chaff and don't bug out in time. Or the other CMDR doesn't know what they're doing...but that has nothing to do with the ships in question.
