Give the python an SLF!

No SLF for the Python. It's a fighter as much as most other ships half it's size. It doesn't need another fighter. Once upon a time it had a killer turn speed however now it's just marginal, but the right pilot can make it work.

Best ship in the game doesn't need to be even better unless you just want to change the name of the game to Elite Python
 
Sooooo much SALT !!!!!

For me the Python is the best ship over all yes.
And OP seems to share that opinion to.

For his idea to be able to carry a slf
I would gladly see that happen.
but then you gone see
A lot off conda's/clipper/corvettes for sale...

Elite python sounds good 😉
 
As a dedicated fan of the Python I also have to vote No.

It's a great ship.. maybe too great. Adding an SLF as well is just too much for one ship to have.

As others have said, it would have to come with a sacrifice somewhere else, something like being changed to a Large class ship or downgrading the Distributor. Those are all changes I would not be willing to make.

Personally, I don't think any Medium ship should be able to launch fighters, that should be exclusive to the 'big boys,' but that's just personal opinion.
 
In Fact ,, any ship with a class 5 slot can fit an SLF, if you have one that is, certain ships are not allowed to install an SLF purchased, but if you have one already purchased for another ship, a gunboat, for example, you can trade it to any class 5 slot, just have to adjust your power needs as well. I have done this several times with my class 5 slotted ships.
 
Let's make the python great again.

With that said, all ships should have some form of external fighter. And the scale should go from two SLF'S for large ships, one SLF for medium ships, and a drone fighter for small ships.

It's already great.

Giving it an SLF will make it overpowered.

I love my Python, and I'd love an SLF, but I'm not willing to take a nerf to it elsewhere to get one.

Military Python though... Now you're talking. ;)
 
Have never really understood why the forums are generally opposed to the idea. I guess I don't use fighters enough, What huge advantage do they bring in PvP and PvE?

I have fighters installed on all my large multipurpose/mining/freighters ships, however they are not necessary at all for PvE, and I have not used them for PvP, essentially they are just a nice toy to have on-board a ship. I might use them to distract an enemy or if I want to drop into a RES or COMP nav Beacon to spice up a trade run.

Just struggling to see how they would make the Python OP? personally I'd take the cargo space on a Python over a fighter, you pretty much need all cargo racks to make the Python a half decent pure freighter, would maybe install a fighter on a multi purpose build.
