How dare you, the Anaconda is the only well-rounded ship in the game.
Buff the rest of the ships!

Fair enough you make a good point.
Look I'm not going to argue with EVERYONE about what I think. I want to know what WE think, I just gave my reason in the OP. I'm happy to hear what people think, genuinely and without being a tool about it
So then revert all of the changes they have done to other ships over the years. Bring the Super Python back, forget the T9 and T7 changes, just adapt to the game guys.
That's basically irrelevant here.
Patches should still happen. Updates should still be released. Problems should still be fixed. The Anaconda's wild imbalance is a problem, no different than any other bug in the game.
Increase the Anaconda to 600t annd drop it's PD to a Size 7.
Then the Big3 can have this:
- Corvette gets the only Size 8 PD.
- Cutter gets the only Size 8 shield.
- Anaconda still has the best jump range, but isn't the DPS king anymore (it isn't rank locked so it shouldn't be).

It took me some time to get my two engineered Condas - jumper exploration one and a PvE killing machine, it would be a shame if FD nerfed them. On the other hand I can see where OP is coming from with the nerf request but... damn I love my Condas!

I admit i have no idea about pvp... but at pve the anaconda is practically a master of all things. sure there are a few edge cases - cutter for trading, T9 - now it has been buffed especially - for short range trading.... but then in the interests of fairness, according to some here FD should never buff ships and should leave them all as they werre at launch
(so totally overpowered but a fortune to run python (cant nerf those maintanence costs!) , a completely underpowered T7 (mind you less so i guess because those buffs to earnings gotta go, which means the python will be a long time in coming) and a way more expensive vulure and FDL....
Also the conda would lose its totally unnecessary military slot i suppose...
you know this entire notion is growing on me. remove all buffs and nerfs and reset everything back to 1.0 levels.

I agree...
But:
All the records are no longer relevant.
Fastest time from Sol - Colonia/Beagle/Sag A*
Furthest distance from Sol
All the race times
Etc etc.
Kinda hard to support it even though I agree in principal I'd be very sad to see it nerfed for the impact it'd have on several in game groups and events.

Sure reset everything to 1.0, then do a comprehensive and exhaustive balance patch on all ships while putting firm guidelines in for future ship stats. Make all ship stats make sense for once, the outliers are just stupid to have existed for so long (and therefore have become nearly untouchable).
I have an...
An everything, at least one, sometimes two, three or even four of Everything.
I spend most of my time in an Orca or a Beluga.
But I use my other ships - they're tools. The right one for the right job, and life is great.
Sometimes though, I use the wrong tool, to challenge myself. Turn a screw with an axe? Sure, you can do it. Cut down a tree with screwdriver? Sure, you'll be at it for a long time.
Usually I learn things doing this sort of stuff - it's how I came to appreciate the Orca and the Beluga so much.

Nerf all the ships and the bobbleheads and the srv and pizza especially that one with pineapple on it.

I'm not sure if the 'Conda is overpowered, or if it's that the 'Vette is underpowered. Sure, the Anaconda has the stupid hull mass that makes no sense, but at least the Cutter has the massive cargo capacity and shields going for it; meanwhile the poor Corvette is worse at pretty much everything (except arguably combat, but there's a serious case for the Anacondas and Cutters making better combat platforms). I feel that any fix to the Anaconda would basically just leave the Cutter as the king of all ships without any real competition.
It can be little ship to little ship if/when they implement modules and modifications to little ships to put them into the big ship's price range; until that point, the progression follows along towards the big ships.

Same for me. I have different ships and more than one for certain types of jobs. I suppose that's why I want the Anaconda to have some sort of nerf. A multi roll ship should be a ship that's okish at everything but not greater than ships that are designed for that specific job.

If you are getting out gunned by a Anaconda, you sir do not know how to fit a Corvette... the vette has plenty more firepower and has better maneuverability. it also has far better shields.
the fact multipurpose non rank locked ship has better DPS then special combat high locked ship is wrong.
And that is not only about DPS, its multi everything ship and doing well in every aspect in game except PVP vs cutter and corvette.
everyone knows that thing is unbalanced, and who does not know, dont have enough experience in this game.

NO.
Now bog off and find something else to cry about.
