Just don't take a passenger mission with a criminal amongst them by mistake [noob]
Hehe, yeah i made that mistake already.
Does anyone know if i can fit an 7A FSD in the anaconda. Or is the 6A the best?
Gratz, I think that may be my next ship also. Have had my python for a little while now. Probably will be a month before I get it though, Maybe make it an Xmas present to myself.
Watch your six because it's always 5 o'clock somewhere.

Short answer, no 7A. 6 is max but you can go down, but not a good idea.
Go to coriolis.io for a guide to outfitting or edshipyard.com.
Just got mine two weeks ago, recently finished outfitting it. Still working on Engineer stuff but what I have so far is brilliant. I never thought such a big ship would be so entertaining to fly. Managed to get 34 LY out of her with full weaponry and shielding, plus a class 6 fighter bay and class 4 SRV hangar. Landings can be a little tricky, but you'll get used to it. Also, watch it when entering the mail slot at stations, I tend to scrape the belly on my way in.
Depends. On an exploration fit it's actually a very good idea.
6A... But if you go through the trouble of using Engineer upgrades, you can get a Conda close to a 50 Ly jump range. My Conda Liner is currently hitting a 45Ly average.
And don't just stuff the MAX modules in there. I use a 6A Power Plant, but thanks to a nice Overcharged Upgrade, that 6A puts out more juice than an 8 B.

For my exploration Anaconda Im using a 4A power plant, 5D thrusters, 4A power distributor with grade 4 engine focus so I can boost and 6A FSD modded. Optionals I have 7C fuel scoop, 4D shield generator, two 5A AFMUs, a fighter hangar, SRV, an extra 8T fuel tank, scanners and I'm getting 53 light year jumps. 
But Congrats btw.

Good idea mate, my conda is currently 14 mil rebuy which i had to rebuy yesterday. I took 1 of those kills ships in conflict zones just a easy 1 to test the A gear and upgrades i thru on it. A low conflict at that, get in there and i see a Fed Corvette and a type 9 enemy getting pounded by allies so i go after them. As i dropped the corvettes shields i notice a big change in the number of reds around me. Most of the greens were gone just gone, i realized time to get out of dodge but too late went from full shields to dead in seconds. I counted at least 10 hostiles ignoring everything else all focused on me. The amount of missiles and crap in the air was unbelievable i have never seen this in a low conflict zone before. Good job getting your conda mate but if you are low on cash i seriously recommend not taking it out until all this is sorted out. Don't get me wrong this isn't a "B" session i should have paid more attention instead of having trgt fixation on the vett my fault, i should have seen the writing on the wall sooner and bolted. I just did not expect that kind of stuff floating around in a low conflict zone.

Absolutely, but from his post it appeared he wanted to to go BIG, so downsizing wouldn't serve his perceived need. I have downsized D's in my nearly finished Exploconda and modded for more output.

That will happen. I never let myself get caught where that much firepower can get a bead on me, similar experience to yours some time back. I fly around the edges and pick off stragglers, that way if things go wrong, you get out without running a gauntlet. Now I seldom leave except when EVERYONE starts shooting at me.
My Corvette with the following:
5 Shield boosters, lv 5 modded with HD and resistance augmented
2 PD.
7A shields lv 5 HD
2 SB's, 7 A's
Reinforced alloy bulkhead and modded to lv 5 hd saves weight and is enough for NPC's.
I never lose shields and the SB's top me off when needed. You can do similarly with your ship.

Thx mate i will i got 7a shields on 2 sb's already no upgrades on the 7a yet. 8a power dist no upgrades on that yet they are what i thru on yesterday. I went to a 7A power plant as i could not justify the 8a at the price it would cost me to buy my corvette. Upgrades i got atm are lvl 3 on my weapons, fsd, thrusters and so forth. What mats i had to do my shield i lost when i blew up yesterday. No bigi can get them back fairly easy. I just wanted to test the 7a standard compaired to the 6a level 2 upgrade i had on. I have the power to throw on the other 3 sb's didn't think of that cause i am so used to stacking penalties from eve. Gotta get me head out of eve and perpetuum fits lol. Again it was my fault we were on the edge when i engaged just those 2 enemy i mentioned, it must have been a spawn or something i missed or ships sent against me. I was so intend on seeing how quick i could get thru that vette i lost my situ awareness.
Thx man made a huge diff, i followed as cls as i could your fit and yeah way better. Thx mate.
Thanks for all the advice guy's. So 7A fsd not possible. Then we need to tweak with modules. I knew this site: https://coriolis.io/ witch is very handy. Too bad that you cant select passenger cabins yet.
No other ship in the game benefits more from Engineer upgrades than the Anaconda. Be sure to play around with using the lowest class modules you can to optimize mass and use upgrades to get their performance up to and beyond what the 7 and 8 class modules can do.
Love my Anaconda! Only problem is I keep leaving paint on the mail slot. Just can't quite get used to getting out without catching the bridge on the top of the slot about every 3rd launch. Would love to have a practice module to spend some time on. Always worried I am going to get nuked by the station for getting stuck. So far, so good. Once out it's a real "cream puff".
